even good stock, u had to pay lots of attention on it, let say, whether up or going down today, this morning, this afternoon....
if u havn't got time to monitor, then, loose like me, before hand i win more than 10% for any stock (good one), for i pay attention all the time, it made me so stressful, now, too busy to do it.
now, due to fallen on top of ladder, broke my arm, had to take rest at home, that's y i had time to look at yr shares.
one the reason that making u loose is the big bank, they had lots of money for investment, and they can convince the stock/market much, u never know what they buy and intend to sell, so better buy index as they invest.
thx for "tai lik" shares, it's true, i loose lots of money on stock market, the hsbc can be 13x drop to 30, lost 100 per share, so horrible.
and the management of the particular stock that u intend to buy is very important, if it is not good, never buy it, it direct make the share going up or down!
