Welcome to Special Edition 200. To mark the 200th edition of our weekly newsletter, 37 of Australia's highest-profile investors and market experts have exclusively answered the question:
“What investment insights would you give your 20-year-old self if you could go back in time?”.
Each person was given 200 words but with a high degree of freedom. We want to retain the author's own voice so we have not edited the contributions. They are often personal and reflective, and many told us it was difficult to identify only two points from decades of investing experience. Please add your own ideas in the comments. There are thousands of years of investment experience out there worth sharing.
We have also produced a free ebook with these timeless insights, which will remain valid long into the future. There is a button on the website to access the ebook version, which you are welcome to forward to friends and colleagues. Please encourage them to register for free, especially younger people who are beginning their investment journey. In the 200 editions, we have published over 1,400 articles from about 400 writers, and all the content remains open on the website. This archive is searchable for most investing and superannuation subjects and we know thousands of you use the website in this way.
Thanks to Assistant Editor, Leisa Bell, for coordinating the responses into the ebook and website.
Graham Hand, Managing Editor
