Very nice,
May I suggest that you buy (and sell) too often. I try to limit myself to around 52 trades a year. This includes new entries and buying the dips. Hard to do as I managed 56 in the last 12 months and even harder as you know that Fiat devalues while it is just sitting in the bank. This limit forces me to size my positions carefully beforehand and of course you pay less on brokerage.
Also,it is not the $$ on the trades that constitute "serious" conviction to the company. It is how long you hold it for through ups and downs that shows it. This has the added benefit of forcing myself to invest rather than speculate on a holding.
You and I have the means but obviously not everyone on HC does. I made that mistake on Post #:
36410842. I absolutely understand where you are coming from. In the real world outside of HC, personally talking about wealth and money is taboo and having a platform like HC where there is anonymity (perceived or otherwise) gives us the freedom to divulge. But looking at it from a perspective of myself 15 to 20 years ago when I didn't have the wealth. Seeing numbers like that can be encouraging with the right perspective but to most it can be very discouraging and dangerous as people always measure themselves in line with their peers. Most do not have the right perspective and don't understand that building wealth is one of the loneliest games to play in and you yourself, are your own worst enemy. I myself am guilty as charged but lets try not to flash it around
By the way seeing the trade dates above and amounts, any Commsec or ASX employees can trace who you are. I suggest you take that off as soon as you can.
Very nice though and congrats. I like round numbers too, it is human nature I guess
