“I started my first company out of uni, back when 'startups' weren't a thing yet. I'd invested in my own companies, and knew enough about tech companies for the Xero IPO to be a no-brainer. But I was 23 and had never actually bought shares before.”

It’s time to say goodbye to 2018, and potentially the run of the longest bull market we’ve ever seen. Oh the volatility! It was a real rough ride, wasn’t it? Admit it though: it’s what makes investing so exciting, the never-knowing-which-way-the-markets-go-ness of it all.
