Dear Rose,
I called you that because you seem to be a "Dear". Even those of us who post of good times and profits have battle scars from this market. Big Scars. I still carry some losers in my possession that represent huge losses, mine not as bad as my husband..who has been involved with investing 20+ years.. and has had every trick played on him by gurus and brokers and all...it is a crying shame all the hard earned money gone..
BUT, now that I have wised up and am spending volumes of time studying and reading and really trying to be careful what I do, and with the help that Jenna and the group have provided, we are doing okay. I have my husband reading books now, and learning TA..(Know what is interesting? I am teaching him the new things that I am learning, and he is the one who has handled the investing all these years...) I am really cautious about the stocks, about the number of shares I buy, often I will just sit and watch..afraid to act. When you have been burned, you are afraid of fire.
I really am humbled by the success just recently experienced..they say that money isn't everything, but, boy, it sure helps us enjoy everything!
We have a wedding in September for our daughter to pay for, college for another, down payments on houses to help kids get into their own homes..and of course our retirement years..
This must be confession night here it looks like uh?
Best to you,
Adelle |
