It is folklore that he was able to make mortals fall in love (or hate) with his magical arrows. He was remade into Cupid by the Romans around 4th century BC. It wasn\u2019t until the 19th century that Cupid became the face of Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_Finally%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>And Finally\u2026!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this list has inspired you to treat investing just like you would any romantic relationship.
