Sad story

Today, my broker Etoro started trading on the stock market. It’s incredible to think that, as I’m writing this, it’s actually listed on the U.S. market. I imagine it there, surrounded by its friends, all excited that such a great idea has finally become real.

I also have some personal news. I was living in Toulon — a beautiful city in France — but one day I ran out of fuel (yes, really). Tough times… it meant having almost nothing to eat, and many nights my dinner was just a piece of bread.

Then one day my brother called me, shouting: “Hey Piero, do you remember that small Etoro account you forgot about? It might be enough to help you get by for a while and come back to Italy!”

Isn’t my story a bit sad?
