There are lots of opportunities out there and we all miss some, maybe even miss 99.9999%!  It only takes being right on one or a few to make a big difference. Internet domain names in 1993-1995 (and later for some even).  Bitcoin 2009-??? (still opportunities for some more fiat gains, plus all the benefits in a debt hungry world).  US bank stocks and warrants in the 2009-2011 range. Apple, Intel, Microsoft stock in 1985 and for 20 years thereafter at various points.  I told people about all those things and few people listened.  NVIDIA in the last 12-24 months (should've bought some). Tons and tons of other opportunities that I didn't invest in, but don't let one missed opportunity make you think there aren't more.  Pay attention, read, learn and have some savings you can use when you see something that could be good and after researching maybe get involved a little.  Start your own business or do it with friends.
