Part 1: I have been investing since 2006, when I was still living in Singapore. I got a very good broker, didn't trust her - strange, the only financial person I didn't trust, most of her recommendations actually would have made me huge amount of money if I HAD LISTENED!
To end Part 1(Singapore's investment), I still enjoy dividends but still in the red for most of my shares bought in 2006,2007.
Part 02: When I arrive in Perth, eveyone tried to give me advice. DYL, FAS, WEB, SCI, GDN, etc. Most of these , if those guys who gave me advice back then, if they have bought, they would still be in the red quietly, pretending EVERYTHING is fine!
That's human. On the outside, everything seems fine, as most humans would like people to think of them. The only true story is when these chaps hit their General Practitioners. If only you were there in Doctor's room, you'd hear that in the last 24 months, lots of people's marriages, employment, super, $$ savings have been torpedoed and tsunami-ed and wrecked by the stock market and the global economy!
I also got burnt too! Fast forward to stocks bought in January 2009 till March 2009, thank GOD, all of them are making me some paper profit!
I guess I got to fix a target sell price and move on or hang in there long term!
Conclusion of Part 02 - When I get burnt, I learn. When I make money, I share my tips with friends. I believe in Law of Abundance , like many HC forum mates here do!
So, have a fair go in investing in the stock market, It takes lots of experience that no books can teach you to get the TIMING and STOCK right!
Cheers, and welcome to the world of Stocks! Stocks shocks, they truly do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
