Thanks for the advice kaffeebrauer. I've also started doing analysis. I realise that if you want to be confident then you have to do your own research, of-course listen to other peoples tips but then do a bit of work otherwise it just becomes gambling. And I think its not hard work its just time and patience and not making emotional decisions.
I really want to make a lot of money and then give a lot away - kind of like what Bill Gates is doing now! I think its important to give some to others less fortunate. Would love to hear if others are doing the same.
