Investor Stereotypes, Where do You Fall?
A lighthearted look at three investment styles
In this quarantine lifestyle, everyone and their mothers are turning to the stock market for everything from a gambling substitute, to first-time investing, to full-on day trading.

A few things to remember if you’re a Macro Growth Guru:
- Switch to drinking tea after 11 am; the Thiamine in the leaves will help to bring your brain back into focus once you start rattling from too many single-origin African coffees.
