Doesn't matter the education or experience one holds if you aren't making $$$. I hate to quote 'greed is good' but it is the single honest advice I've heard so far. You can invest in McDonald's, pick up the dividend each period, and see a 5% appreciation in price per share (pps) thanks to all the value investing you have learned. You could also learn one day (and this is fiction next) that McDonald's kills cows inhumanly and watch the pps plummet. You could invest in Facebook and ride the hype and watch Facebook miss a single earnings and watch the plummet. Each person has a specific risk appetite. Find yours, apply your strategy, and make $$$.
I always ask those I read or post with often how much have $$$ has been made. Sure some will lie but if they respond I'm ahead more than I lose then I feel that's an honest response. Results are important in investing. Results = $$$. Why else are you investing? Ok, some are very wealthy and like the adrenaline run of taking risks. Not me yet.
I have learned a few things about ethics. So why do I play penny stocks? Risk appetite, strategy application, and get out at a predetermined gain. I play penny stocks with Revenue and some other predetermined variables to decrease my risk some. I can go on and on but shhhh MBAMann...
