Much of what Tom knows about why surgeons and attorneys make bad investors comes from his law practice representing people who made bad investments. The number one issue is time. They don’t have time to research, find and evaluate deals. They see a deal that sounds good but can’t get through the boxes of due diligence documents.
They also make quick decisions in their jobs. A surgeon has to decide quickly whether to take out the appendix. So they tend to pull the trigger on an investment without fully vetting it. At Ticker Tape, we help busy professionals find, vet and invest in deals, and we invest our own capital in every one.
Key points
- Busy professionals lack time to research and vet deals.
