MSB - Must Sell Bullshit, page-19

I have some magic beans you can buy.

But seriously, whilst your honesty in commendable, maybe a little bit of research would serve you really well.

I did similar in the early days, following some of the HC gurus, thinking I could get a quick win for no effort. And you know what, sometimes you do.

But your best chance of holding onto, and building on, your hard earned, is to properly understand what you're investing in. Do the hard yards, you might even enjoy it.

Nothing is a certainty, but understanding a company, and understanding when in the cycle to jump into a share, will definitely help.

And once you are happy, understand what you are investing in, and buy in at what you think is the right time, remember you're an investor, not a trader (if indeed that is your goal).

Most successful companies have tanked at some point in their journey, research will often help you understand if that's down to isolated poor decision making, or something bigger, and altogether less recoverable.

And finally, like the nags, bet only what you are happy to lose.........
