Maybe, I don't have the time I had in years past. So many investment opportunities for me at the moment. Not just personal, but business related as well. The business I set up with some old business partners three years ago is now returning 100% ROE, and the new one we set up a year ago is...

So by your definition, the correctness or otherwise, of an investment decision, is governed by the popularity of other posters at a particular point in time????? Since when in the history of mankind, has ones wealth determining decisions, been determined by the views of other people...

funny you love to hype on NWH, MCS, both of which have been disasters for me (from an individual stock position loss %). Yet haven't mentioned others. I put I few comments out there several years ago about the attractiveness of buying mainland chinese listed shares. The chinese...

all been done before on this very forum. start researching

all good, another crop come up every 5 years or so. Used to get a bit riled up, now not really. Having made good wealth on the stock market was happy to spread it around abit, teach others that there thinking might have been another me somewhere out there, pyscholgically understanding it...

yes 100% dyed in the wool value investor. This created financial freedom for me before I was 40. Generated great returns (with the exception of the this current financial year which has hit me harder than 'market averages') but like any investor will have good years and bad years.

And when a stock has been trending down for a while, what then is the difference between dollar cost averaging and 'averaging down'. Both positions can refer to either individual stock positions or to broader based market exposure positions. When the market is going down, by definition...

Buffett only 'dollar averages' where it makes sense to do so. That doesn't mean 'ohw the market is down 10% better start dollar averaging'. Buffet would have an idea on what the actual 'value' is against the current shareprice. So for those out there just spouting 'buy the dips', do...

in this case hotcopper would cease to exist. opps not supposed to be posting on this thread

And after being shouted down in this thread http://somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104985 And being shouted down in this current topic thread. Its your money, your capital. No further comment

good 'umpires' call John. (better than captain's call in the current environment lol) I will leave.

Part 1: You have just identified the number one rule in investment psychology (not investor, but investment, which includes both investors and traders): gains have less 'endorphin' than losses (in your words). Investors use this to their advantage. Part 2: You still fail to see the...

Ah not at all my dear Pinkboy. What does a trader base his decisions on. What does an investor. Why can't an investor ever be short. Why can't an inverse margin of safety ever be used. If the intrinsic value is x. The potential grey area is y. Then the increased margin of safety...

Not so much with WES because of its heavier diversification, but I really want WOW up there in the $37. I am more adverse to shorting than going long. But at $37 I should be reasonably safe. So please baby run to $37. That's all I can say.

no idea about this post, but I am thinking PinkBoy, more than a 'marble post':p

this thread is starting to 'morph'.

Why is ANZ looking at off loading Esanda? What was ANZ's criteria? Any business division with less than a ROE performance of less than 15%. Why that 15%????? Because that's the long term average that the big four banks can grow their books. Anything beneath this impairs their...

You cant look at it like this. Prior performance is not an indication of future performance. And for the banks the number one secret I can tell this forum is to look at long term returns on Book Value, and then compare current market share price values to book values. Again not rocket...

Exited 70% of my chinese stock market positions. Its been my saving graise one the main reason why my underperformance this year was as small as it was.
