Maybe not wasted an hour of your life, people pick things up at different rates.

I know you are asked the same questions a million times over and it can be jading, but in all fairness fiftyeight could be the tech/a of ASF in 20 years, a valuable source of advice helping out thousands of new members himself.

Don't discourage the new guys, it is daunting coming in here and conversing with those that new members have probably watched from the sidelines for a while, an have admiration and respect for.

Not really, he has dealt out worse than that.

Try not to take things too personally on here. The intention of 99.9% of posters is to assist.

We all have different writing styles, you will pick them up in no time.

You have all the time in the world, the markets aren't going anywhere and the Aussie market isn't heading towards 7000 anytime soon.

In my opinion, it is exactly what you should not be doing. :headshake

I am not saying there is not money to be made on short term movements, but you have admitted your inexperience yourself.

SDL is on the nose, the only thing that will save it is a low ball offer. Is the project really a goer? Where is the money to make it so? Until then it is a pile of dirt in the jungle.

If the obstacles are more substantial than the ore body then what?

If you have time, read the entire thread and you will see the ebbs and flows, the highs and lows, the money made and the crushed dreams.

Do you have the experience to intepret and take advantage of all that?

Instead of risking your money on catching a falling knife, why not look for companies with positive news on the horizon and try to pre-empt that before the market catches on?

Good news moves will always trump a dead cat bounce.

It could change for the worse if you mess around with stocks like SDL which are in turmoil. Look for stability.

I operate a lot differently to most on here, so take my advice with a grain of salt. What I do may not suit you, nor what you do suit me but we can still all learn something from each other.

I take a similar outlook to you in terms of the share market being like betting.

I see it as a casino, the odds are naturally stacked against you. It is for you to develop a way to swing the odds in your favour by whatever means possible, FA or TA, via honest means or deceptive, or a combination of all.

Best of luck and remember, the only stupid question is the one left unasked.
