If you’re reading this article, chances are you’re an amateur investor.
Whoa there! No need to get angry. I’m paying you a compliment. Sure, to most people, “amateur” has negative connotations — it implies a lack of skill, a lack of commitment. But “amateur” comes from Latin via French; in its original form, it means “someone who really loves doing something.”

My weekend mornings here in Paris are usually spent at les marchés, those wonderful outdoor markets that straddle busy streets every day of the week somewhere in the city.
