bloody hell it saddens me seeing the hurt and pain in some.. life has become hard, you cannot buy a house unless you get into debt up to your neck for the rest of your life, rent is half of your pay check bills, kids fees and expenses fuel and i understand you all just want a break.. we all do and that is why you chose to gamble some money on a so called sure thing and i am sorry you do not know the share market, its a beast and has no feelings or mercy. though this busy materialistic life has made us all lose touch which what really is important. the feeling of your child skin on yours and playing with them and seeing them smile and having.... your beautiful wife close to you. the feeling of sitting on your veranda with a cup of coffee and enjoying the stars and having a deep convo with a friend or family... these days everyone is staring at their phones even at restaurants its pathetic. who cares about losing money even if it was 1 million dollars. has it taken anything out of you? have you lost a child an organ?

no word of a lie i have lost over 380 grand on penny stocks from 2007 to 2013 and its that lose that has taught me how to trade and invest. i always made the same mistake and at one stage i thought it would be impossible to learn but it happens, with some it happens straight away with others it take a few times but either way it was all part of the learning curve. take a look at most self made millionaires they all lost big and one stage and they all failed at one stage probably many times but you are a failure when you get kicked down and cannot get back up. get up learn and toughen up because you only have three choices.

become a failure
Move on and forget the share market and let it be a bad experience
move forward learn and become a professional trader.
