"small Aussie investors" should not be investing in speccies
I am a small Aussie investor but only invest what I can afford to lose
plus I am a actually a "trader" for tax purposes because to be an investor in speccies means you must be very vigilant, watch the market everyday, so you end up trading a lot
I am often 1st in or 1st out after ASX announcements
the spec market has always been over-valued
quality stocks will come thru eventually
the spec market is so dangerous & only the vigilant or stop lossers survive
