OT: Mauiguy, excellent point(s) indeed. I've already made some lousy trades as I indicated, and most definitely lost more money in doing so than I would have if I just stayed in my original investment. A very important thing for me to be mindful of for sure.
Perhaps what would be more appropriate in my case given my limited knowledge, technical tools, time and money is to simply look for another long term investment that seems like it might be more likely to appreciate in value sooner than YONG shares are apt to. But the times have changed here in CGS land and I don't want to stick my head in the sand on that one either. Moreover, as you know, it's hard sometimes to stand back and see things truly. If, for instance, I venture out beyond my tiny range of normal practices and fall down a few times does this mean I'm barking up the wrong tree and better go back to my sandbox? Or is it analogous to learning how to ice skate wherein one must be willing to take many falls in the process of getting the hang of it? And is the first interpretation prudence and honesty speaking? or fear and intimidation? Likewise, is the second interpretation a bit of pragmatic wisdom and a willingness to learn anew? or is it a siren call wherein the glistening of gold is luring me further and further into financial ruin?
Moreover, I've heard from traders that for it to work one needs to be willing to use a fair amount of capital. Makes sense. If trading is aimed at making say 7-15% gains in short order, it doesn't amount to much trading only $2k bucks.
But, enough on this. I don't want to take up YONG's board time with more off topic comments and thoughts. Nonetheless I did very much appreciate your feedback and will include your thoughts in the mix as I cogitate further on what, if anything, I intend to do with our YONG shares.
Thanks,
Steve
