One thing you have to learn is too take profits along the way. It's hard too cos buying and seeing them rise is exciting. The best way not to get caught in the hype, is to right down a sell point and when you get to that point, you sell half. What that means is you still have skin in game but at the same time you have taken profit out. You have to leave profit for someone else. That's not a bad thing. That's the problem with most investors, and that's why they aren't successful is they can't leave any profit for someone else. They ride stocks all the way up and down and make nothing. Ton is an explorer and this is what you do with explorers. There's like 1000 explorers on the asx, and in one year only about 10 make it. Most go up and down . Have a look at mad, they went up 800 percent one yr, and went down 900 % the next two yrs. why because the company can't make a profit. Potential is only there for so long, before reality hits. Hope this helps you. A wise man told me you don't learn or remember the shares you make money from, only the ones you don't.
