When asked about investing, many people may think of confusing conversations about accounts and rates, or men in suits pouring over spreadsheets for days at a time. Perhaps they think wherever it ends up, their money will be locked away for years, leaving them unable to benefit from it. It all seems too intense, and too time consuming to even begin.

Rumours are that investing is for the gambler. For someone who is willing to take a substantial hit for the small possibility of a high reward.
