how old is everyone on hotcopper?, page-169

been reading but havnt made many responses, many thanks to all the posters. in relation to ipods question asking me what i have learnt from this thread, my answer is that many of you have admitted to have nearly " lost it all" but are still here, trading away.

alot of peoples responses have stated that when they first started they actually made quite a good amount of money, but then lost it due to their own greed and/or misjudgement(aswell as the latest crash for some of you). what i have picked up from this, is that this experience has made them into overly conservative traders,instead of trading the way they were b4 and eliminating out their bad traits, they have become too cautious. everyone knows the basic principle of risk/reward, which can be applied to anything outside of trading itself. but do some of the poeple im talking about agree with me or do people seem to pick up on this aswell?
