Hi all,
This is the thread where all those who wish I would just go away can say their piece. I know that I have a "different" approach to investment to many on this forum, and many times have argued the toss with people on what their plans/actions are.
Yes, I also will play devil's advocate, hopefully to get people to think more fully about what they are about to do/are doing.
What do I gain from my postings?, nothing other than to be convinced my view is correct/incorrect.
My detractors say that I am nothing but a conservative, knocker, "simple scaremongerer " etc, they forget to mention that when asked for my alternative I simply point in the direction of Jan Somers book, stating that there is a sure fire way to success with the smallest amount of risk. I then do not get questioned on the approach.
If the topic is shares, then my approach is to buy what is rising in price, and to have a stoploss point where I get out if I am wrong.
My investing and philosophy on investment comes about from many years of experience in the stockmarket, commodities trading, and property purchases over a period of 25 years. I have made most of the classic mistakes, and hope to pass on just a part of my knowledge to help others avoid the same mistakes I have made.
For those who think that I should go and do this course or that course, to get an education on the ............ method of investing, I challenge you to give a valid reason why. If this is the forum for discussing investments, why should we all have to run to the nearest seminar??
If you think my questioning of various professionals is too harsh, let us all know why we should not discuss a methodology rigourously. If someone puts up a fabulous method for making money in the good times, should allowances for what can and does go wrong not be catered for??
If you have a grievance with my approach, I am prepared to discuss it in this thread "without prejudice" to anything that anybody wishes to say (about me).
bye
