There are lessons that can be learned throughout one’s life, and the current financial economic state around the globe offers plenty of learning opportunities for everyone. During the 20s in the US, growth was staggering with companies taking unprecedented risks without even realising it by spending many, many times their income. They simply assumed growth, increasing income generation and subsequent profit was a given. Credit crunches of today, bite in similar ways as can be seen by the current housing issues for home buyers. Utility costs, particularly the cost of energy is a huge factor on individual and company debt since all industries and consumers rely heavily on oil in one form or another. In the unregulated business world back in the 20s many investors bought stocks and made other investments funded by borrowings/loans and of course, when the system collapsed, income and profits virtually ceased to exist and borrowers were unable to repay debts. The lesson learned may be a simple one, i.e. never risk losing what you can’t afford and most certainly think extremely carefully before borrowing money to start financial spread betting. Just start off buying small, find those commodities or areas that you seem to be better at and build a foundation. Then start to grow. Just like building a house, one brick at a time.
