For most "surefire" investments, the word gets around quickly, leading to overcrowding. Plenty of markets show this.

There's a pattern to all this and inevitably the path becomes overcrowded and the financial rewards significantly diminished. I suppose there is no substitute for innovation.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
