I would definitely say losing money has taught me alot. Firstly, not to put my money into buying stocks that is popular without learning the financial standing of the company. Secondly, not to lean on my emotions and panic sell the stocks thinking it’s ok to lose a little money. Here is where I learned to be patient, of course some stocks will tumble and take too long to go up but if you don’t want to sell n lose yr $$$ you have to practise the virtue of patience and wait and meanwhile prepare yourself better for the future.
I bought SG stocks since the 1990s but never bothered to follow the activities of the stock and just leave it there. Now (35 yrs later) and retired have become interested in buying stocks and learning as much as possible when to buy, when not to buy, how much to buy and when to sell these stocks. Not only that, learning to pick up skills in reading company reports and identify good companies from the bad ones. Have lost some money in the forex market and will never go back into that again! Dangerous!!
Gold is something that will never ever lose its value and have been going higher and higher in its value since I was a kid. My mom use to buy gold jewelleries and keep to give us her daughters in future when we get married, but I never knew the value of gold at that age. It was only $30 per pavan which is defined as 7.98805 grams. (Explanation: The pound sovereign (1 pavan) is a unit of mass used in India's gold industry. It is equal to 7.98805 grams.) It was only $30.00 per pavan (8 gms 916 gold) 60 yrs ago. Today it is $145 per gram and per pavan is $1164/-. So no matter you use gold to adorn yourself or keep as an investment, it is always going higher and higher in value. I love to buy gold jewelleries for investment.
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ will definitely bounce back considering the demand for its chips. I have just added some Nvidia units to my portfolio. Need patience to wait and not act on emotional and political tariff turbulence by the US govt.
$SIA(C6L.SI)$ I think it will slowly go up but as everyone knows Sept is a dull mth where the stock mkt is concerned. need to have patience as in all trading.
