Worst investment ever
When Golf was 18 years old, he had friends with whom he hung out. The father to one of the friends in the group owned a company listed in the Thai stock market. At the time, the stock’s price was going up quickly. The friend told them that the price would continue to go up because of a new project coming up.
Golf saw this as an opportunity to make money quickly. He went home and told his mom about it. His mom sold her gold to buy the stock. After purchasing the stock, the project’s news came out, and the price went up. But after a few months, the price started going down so fast, and Golf’s mom lost 60% of her investment.
