Not at all but my point was that I was comfortable backing my judgement. Plus the quality of management was key to any decisions I made. Never really thought much of Skase and Bond but they made for interesting reading.
River House was the only dud I ever bought so that is obviously why I remember the experience. Some went sideways or I bailed for a small loss but in the main, my investments have done OK.
BTW, she tried to talk me out of Wesfarmers (?) around the same time. I didn't go back as I was convinced they would do well.
I understand brokers are under pressure to keep up with their recommendations however I have gone for years at a time without investing in the stock market and only venture back when I feel the time is right. And when I have spare cash of course.
