Really new to all this., page-7

@slind54 I am assuming your request is sincere.

There is no easy or right answer to your question re yr share purchases, "Is that stupid ?" Well, it is WRONG if the price(s) go down and RIGHT if the price goes up. IMO NEVER stupid.

Everyone starts somewhere; I remember I started in this funny game by borrowing $10k and buying 5 shares ... one went bust from memory a couple went nowhere and I probs got a cuppla boomers!!! Bottom line is you gotta start somewhere which you have done!

As someone else said no one here can give advice but here are a few thoughts;
-study, read and study and read some more .... the net has endless material in this regard

-choose your HC sites carefully. IMO the only sites worth visiting are the XJO, XSO and XMD where I believe you tend to get fairly honest and logical debate and ideas. Others have their favs of course. (You could do much worse than reading all of the 2016 posts on these threads)

-work out whether you want to be a FA or TA investor .... (if TA is your go then start by drawing about 10,000 charts )

-WHEN YOU POST ON THE SITES MENTIONED TRY POSTING WITHIN A THREAD .... nit reply at the bottom of someones post! Folks tend to get a bit precious about such things.

-Do your reading and perhaps ask a heap of questions on forums like XJO; weekend chart and chat whick Jako leads and allows for a more chatty forum.

Thats enough, now get back into the main thread. LOL

Good luck and cheers g
