Ann: Senior Management Update, page-40

Thanks cydog ..good advice to keep in mind and I agree with you in that when I have spoken to some financial guys (who possibly use the platform) they have basically guffawed and given me the idea HC’s reknowned as a cocaine-driven agenda-pushing fantasy land where wolves hang out, playing with each other and their salamis whilst eating sandwiches and waiting to fleece retail innocents.
So that’s the nature of the beast .
But what I said before is still true .
I have met school-aged king pins and university professors who only want to discuss ebitda with other learned souls and who are completely humble .
And plenty of other naive people like me who have no idea what a DFS, M&A or P&D is .
Maybe none of us should be walking these halls?
Well where else do we go?
It’s easier and easier to open a trading account, the cost of making a trade can be about the same as two cups of coffee and gambling has been around since Lucifer opened a bet on whether Eve was going to bite the apple.
And I like it here.
I’ve seen people like @h00ts with a declaration of no agenda share their knowledge day after day and met dozens with much less ‘significant’ profiles who teach, play and share with me.
Hot Copper delights me.
I don’t gamble what I can’t afford to lose. I don’t respect or trust people without long acquaintance (such as it is) and I try not to say anything about anything without validating that position via a link to whatever it was that made me think that way.
It’s not all bad Cydog .

At the end of a few years of this I reckon the best thing is to find a good company and stick to it . Use technical (charts) analysis as well as fundamental analysis . Study the history of the company and its management , look at the competition. Set a loss percentage and a profit percentage and stick to it (hardest thing for me) and don’t be afraid of the losses.
And experience is the best teacher
Listen to everyone then make your own mind up .
Wear it .
As you say it’s your money ,

Cheers
