Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
Blockbuster? Pets.com? A Tokyo penthouse in about January 1991? History is littered with investments that took an almighty nosedive. But what is your biggest financial mistake?
For our end-of-year edition, FT Money is asking our most esteemed columnists, contributors and experts to share their worst investment stories, and we’d like (brave) readers to join in too.
Was your blunder caused by ignorance or naivete? Or do you still secretly think it was a good buy and you were just unlucky? Perhaps it provided a valuable lesson: one that ultimately led to bigger and better successes?
If you have a horror story to share, we’d love to hear from you. You can email us — anonymously if you like — at money@ft.com
