Subject: [sharechat] Experience and
judgement
Tony,
I can send you a long list of losses to
read; very depressing reading it is!
Snoopy and others have done some excellent
work on the FIG Message Board; ShareChat has its educational
features and you may get some market sense from reading my
series " Learning to invest.......".
That series started in Nov. 2000 and the
psychology of the market and participants is fully discussed.
I would never class myself as an experienced
investor; to say that, somehow means that we know everything and
hence we stop learning.
I am 73, was a relative late starter and still
find the markets fascinating, but I do think that the most important word is "
judgement ".
It is important also to " keep a distance ";
meaning, don't become too infatuated with a company; it has cost me and
many others!
