An Interview with TMFPencils
Last updated: 10/12/2010
The Fool:
Would you rather be remembered as a person, a legend, or a myth?
TMFPencils:
It depends. A great person can be remembered as legend but not a myth. A myth can be known as a legend, but usually not remembered as a person. I think I'd like to be remembered as a person who was a legend at what he did.
The Fool:
What was your first educational exposure to investing?
TMFPencils:
My Dad showed me the Fool, Stock Advisor, Hidden Gems; he planted my interest in stocks and investing.
The Fool:
Given a second chance, what financial decision would you like to do over?
TMFPencils:
I'd like to have started investing earlier, the greatest mistake I've made is waiting till I was (gulp) 12. Yeah, 12. I can't believe I didn't start earlier.
