HOW DOSE ONE BECOME A DIRECTOR OF A PUBLIC COMPANY, page-18

Some investors have unrealistic expectations of what can be acheived in the marketplace. If it was so easy to make huge profits or find a major mineral deposit then every small business would be rushing to greatness.
A lot of people don't seem to understand how business operates. How many time have you seen posted;

" contracts will be signed soon" - says who?

"why doesn't this company make a deal" - how soon?

This share is going to rocket up" - on what basis?

Contracts and deals sometimes take years to complete. A company may look at 50 new propositions in a year and most of them will be rubbish. Finding the company maker is extremely difficult - again, otherwise many companies would be hugely successful if it was so easy.

Investors need to be better informed about the companies they invest in, and how that particular industry operates, have reasonable expectations, look at the success rate in the industry, and not be greedy.
