I am a novice investor managing what I have saved outside a 401k. I have seen professional financial advisers do worse with a lot of money than I did with a smaller amount during the last crash. I learn as I go by reading several authors on this forum (I subscribe to DividendLab and D4L newsletters) who are more expert than I will ever be and then I try not to make big mistakes. In my spare time I practice kendo.
