for every win its likely to be 10 losses, agree though ash oppertunity to make good money has been there a couple of times when market tumbles "most in XXXX years" just gotta have the knackers to jump in and hold on tight haha

And yeah, amazing how much you learn and how quickly. It's one of those things where everything is so fascinating you just want to soak it all up.

What I found cool, but dangerous, was the abilty to buy and sell in the same day...with money you don't even have, because of buy and sell contracts being settled on the same day. As long as you had the money to cover the potential loss, say a very conservative 50% fall in the space of a day, you could invest double what you actually have as long as you sell before market close...

And then there's margins lol...

Agreed luck does play a big part. You can do all the research and fundamentals on a company but it may turn south, and south quick due to market sentiment. A company may be structurally sound but the market is driven by greed and fear.

Back in the hay day the most I made was $15k in a week, this was off $12k capital. But have also lost just as much.

These days I just put money in the mortgage :D

yeh i rkn insider trading must be rife, i mean stamping out is almost impossible if you happen to know a guy who knows a certain company has just won/is about to wina big contract or find a new oil field gas line etc then BOOM jump on that shit

lol insider trading is so rife it's almost unwritten law...only have to look at number of trades made a day before big announcements...complete horse shit but there's no way to prove it. ASX query goes "please explain the big price rise/fall and sudden heavy trading in your stock" "blah

blah we blame market fluctuations and release of quarterly reports".

Even the pros get f**ked up in this day and age. For every successful investment story you hear about there's at least another that doesn't go so well. And too many guys attributing all their success to skill, when luck is half of it and someone has to come out on top. I remember all the cunts who were going on about how they predicted the GFC etc. didnt hear a peep from them before it happened!

A lot of them get greedy though.

I know a few already in that boat. Some that'll have to now hang onto the stocks for a good 6 months before its viable to sell. Simply because they wanted that "extra couple %"

I say fk it, if you've made over 10% - sell. If it's at 30% then good on ya.

People get regret that they sold before the "peak" in many instances but you cant have that attitude or you'll go mad

Lol was just wanting to see how someone that had to pay for a holiday with a credit card, has a vested interest in anything

You cannot be serious... >_<

Not really.. only said that to make him feel a little better lol

Who gives a shit anyway. Dezz obviously does though, cheeky curious cunt

I was always one to cash out as soon as I'd made a few dollars. Same with any game at the casino. Don't care what could have been if I've still got something out of it. A mate on the other hand, he's held onto one share through around 4 big peaks and troughs, refusing to sell and buy back in each time that I've advised him to...he could have more than doubled his money by now if he listened to me. I didn't have the guts to follow my own advice, it's easier to make decisions on money that isn't yours. I don't know what he's waiting for though...

I travelled all over Europe, as well as L.A,, Vegas and San Francisco, and paid cash.

But thanks for thinking of my feelings :cheers:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
