What happened at 8 cents?, page-18

Hey Kikker...

It is common sense to get them as cheap as you can but to be honest I think the vast majority of investors don't have a clue what the market is going to do on a day to day basis. Investors will change there mind 100 times a day on whether they should hold, sell, average down, buy options or buy heads ect. Unless you are extremely good at predicting the market then this will cause huge amounts of stress for inexperienced investors and it is more than likely they will make the wrong decision by running off emotions.

In my opinion the inexperienced investor should research a company thoroughly and be confident in the future performance of a company before they put their money in. Then they should set a time frame in their mind of when they expect the share price to improve and only make a reassessment at that time. Let the day traders do there thing if the fundamentals remain unchanged then stressing over every pip up or down is unjustified. This is by far a more profitable play than trying to out trade the professionals.

Everybody wants to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. The problem is that the day to day share price is out of the control of the private investor. What is in control of the investor is the amount of research they put in to be confident in their investment.
