    When the Worst Advice Became the Best Investment

    In August 1929, a prominent businessman named John Raskob told Americans they could get rich by investing just $15 monthly in stocks. The timing couldn't have been worse-within weeks, the market crashed spectacularly, wiping out fortunes and ushering in the Great Depression. For generations, financial experts pointed to Raskob's article as proof of pre-crash delusion. But here's what almost nobody noticed: an investor who followed his advice, even starting at the absolute market peak, would have beaten bonds after just four years. After three decades, that disciplined investor accumulated eight times more wealth than bond holders. This counterintuitive truth reveals something profound about investing that most people miss entirely-time transforms risk in ways that defy our intuition.
