NOT that you care....but a novice perspective on investing.
This post is dedicated to hope, desire, dreams and something better than we have now...
..and....what I'm guessing is the silent majority on this and every forum...
...and ...those that need to understand that hope, desire, dreams, etc....are not considered relevant by Wall Street.
Elders are excused. :)(and should go find a novice to mentor!).

<I have NO intention of giving it back!>
Are you 100% cash now? What did you sell?
My post about "... I have NO intention of giving it back" was desire, not action.
I sold nothing, because I've read enough to still believe in the energy "big picture".
I wanted to.....VERY much....but didn't.
My 20%...is now about 13%.....daaaaaamn it!
I try to remind myself that I am still learning...and being ahead ....is...well...being ahead. I mean what are my options? A CD at 4+%?....NOT acceptable.
My biggest bestest point of this post is...
..My biggest problem is learning about myself....NOT the companies. My fears, my greed.....affect me every day.
I've been bouncing around from stock to stock based on daily up/down. Easily excited, easily scared. Just plain stupid it is....but I'm getting more comfortable.
Some days I scream at myself for being stupid....some days I scream at the market/government/companies for being stupid.
Generally, I'm slowly learning that screaming at ANYthing is the wrong state of mind.....period.
I'm slowly rearranging things.....finding my comfort zones...and trying to learn to be patient.
I've been lucky that I initially bought enough different things that when something goes down, I can sell something up, and still be even or a bit better.
This is WORK!...on self and DD and reality.
Gotta keep reminding myself of that.
Best wishes to all.
Regards,
Chuck. |
