Not easy to catch though, once in a blue moon one speccie may do this kind of thing but you could lose a fortune or go bankrupt if you throw yourself at every bullet train that whiz past ya. I am underwater and regret throwing myself at another one going near maximum velocity. Don't ask what it is etc, it doesn't matter what matters is the lesson learnt. I should stick to what I am doing with longer term stuff and trading in my zone with the spec portfolio.It does all seem like gambling though, except for those who charted and won, they should take a lot of credit. Good system, good belief in the system and good payout from the system.
You are right @sptrawler, when you said:
It does all seem like gambling though
I should listen more to the cautious members on this forum. You know @galumay et al. I thought I gave up gambling ages ago, oh gosh how the greed could stir you up once again
It's not the money lost (only several hundred bucks), but it's the lack of discipline to stick to what I am good at, that I am really pissed off with myself
Anyway I can't and don't usually talk about losses to family, friends, colleagues etc. Last time I tried to talk to a colleague about stock market in general I was given the silence treatment. Then there was ongoing avoidance as if I was some gambling addict
So to my friends at ASF let me make a promise to myself:
I pledge to fellow ASF members, from this day forward I will do all the due diligence and all the stock research to thoroughly evaluate a company before purchasing it.
Because that's what I've been doing over the half weekend gone and holy cow, I wouldn't have bought that speeding bullet if I did the research first.
