You are literally holding the most hyped up stocks and wondering why you lost money? I actually made a lot of money on 3 of those stocks because I bought LKE at like 2.5c and had CXO and NVX at lucky times, I then sold them when the prices became utterly crazy which is when I assume you probably bought haha.

To be honest I kind of agree the ASX is not a healthy market but its tiny compared to most international markets with much more liquidity and waaaaaaaaay more people actively searching for good investments. The asx is driven by band wagon chasers more than other markets are in my opinion but there are still great stocks here, to me it sounds like your problem is timing and a lack of independence. If you are buying a stock because lots of other people already have then you shouldnt be buying it.
