quick money made playing markets during bull period is often lost to the same markets during bears.

look at folks here who were very loud as they made super normal profits.Eventually they often make errors that cost them gains and capital.I need not give examples,they are well known.

The same is true with debt.It makes your spouse and friends think that you are a genius,till you make a miscalculation and you get burnt,badly.

*no offence*


You are absolutely correct. The speculators in the forum have gone quiet. During a bull run, you can even start thinking you are a genius, like you cant lose and that you are almost always right.

Learning to live with a losing position of a company that one still believes in is one of the greatest assets a stock investor can have. Ignoring the market and the noise..

On that note been adding TPS . Ill soon double what i had before the fallout from above 35

@Aguy,

This is a buyers market. Serious investors don't listen to the market noises.

And risk management.

Experience always comes from managing capital during bear markets. Best traders and investors arise from these tough periods.

The golden handcuffs lessons at NSE have been on point as they've taught nice lessons to the bull joy-rider investors. I hope in the next bullish phase the lessons will sharpen those that have been taken to the cleaners in order for them to recoup those losses.

Looking at Stocksmaster's purchases DTB 192, TPS 46 and HFC 31.25 with a target of doubling Capital gains... Then the converse happened.

I just read this thread again. I couldn't help but notice that @stocksmaster's student beat him in his own game in 2014 and delivered 93% gain that year. I guess stocksmaster changed his strategy while his student retained the original lesson. Interesting reads from Stocksmaster and Smutagalll. I guess it proves that a theory or investment design is independent of who applies it. People change, facts don't. Respect to you guys
