Oppertunity cost in other words is a decision you make between choosing one important thing or the another. For example, You're trying to decide whether you want to a brand new car or a new boat. Opertunity cost can range into something as simple as buying a shirt or jeans. Some of my own opertunity cost were choosing between getting a tv or a new bed for my room. Each choice would have changed up my room drastically but ultimately i choose the TV.

My Investment Strategy
My investment strategy will consist of buying stocks in fields that the demand never ends and where jobs and productivity is constant. My main investment will be towards freight trains and railroad companies. Other major companies i'm aiming towards is companies that manufacture plane parts. I wont buy many stocks at a time but i will observe them on a daily basis to check up on the profits. once i see that things are good thats when i'll look into other fields in the stock market.
