I'm not sure what this has to do with Debian, but this overlaps with my professional interests. As far as I can tell, the reason that MDs and dentists are notable as bad investors is the same reason that they are notable as bad pilots: in the middle to end of their careers they have lots of money and no particular life experience other than their professions. They look for something that is appealing on the surface, put just enough time into it to convince themselves that they are going to be quite good at it because they are already successful, and then crash. https://generalaviationnews.com/2017/03/29/the-doctor-killer/ Luckily, programming is a useful alternative hobby for medical professionals. As long as you stay away from certain obscure areas -- say, device drivers and financial software -- the penalties for screwing up are much lower. If you like your doctor or dentist, encourage them to learn Debian and get into programming rather than daytrading or piloting. -dsr-
