One topic that's been on my mind a good bit lately is the difference between nominal returns and real returns.
To clarify, nominal returns are on a purely percentage basis. The chart below is that of a sector of stocks in the Zimbabwe market. Wow, amazing returns, right?
Amazing -- in nominal terms. However, real returns tell a different story. Real returns are basically...

I used to be just like you.
I looked around at all the "professional" investors who did things like buy single stocks because they thought the company had a good product and its prospects for future earnings were promising.
LOL! Silly, right? As if future profits have anything to do with whether or not this is going to be a good trade!
