Stock markets have always attracted people towards them as a way to make quick bucks and returns unimaginable anywhere else. People like Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, George Soros, John Templeton, Benjamin Graham and the Indian Rakesh Jhunjhunwala are all examples who started as a nobody and ended up as billionaires and only because of their one ability - the skill and the ability to identify good investments at the right time and turn them into fortunes. They really did make their bucks run and run hard.
