A few years ago, one relative asked me to invest for him. I told him to let one famous professional fund manager manage his life saving. I cannot mention his name. He teaches Technical and Financial analysis for a fee. He also sells weekly share recommendations and manages money for people.

Yesterday my relative told me that the fund manager I recommended lost more than 50% of his life saving. He bought the following shares for him: Inta, OCK, FPHB, PPHB, NOTION, RanHill, SCG Bhd, KGB WB, Notion WD, YTL Power.

If you Google “How many percentage of the people lose money in the stock Market?” 

You will see “According to estimates, as much as 90% of people lose money in stock markets, including both new and seasoned investors. However, it’s essential to note that investing strategies and risk tolerance vary, and some investors do achieve success”. 

If you have been losing money in the stock market, you must stop investing.

I recalled OTB shared he was badly affected by the 1997 stock market crash. In fact, his financial future was at risk. He learned TA and started teaching too for various organised meetings. His good fortune came when KYY identified him to manage his funds. Yes, it was obvious KYY made a lot of money when his fund was managed by OTB. This liason did not last, and they parted a bit acrimoniously.

Given a new lease of financial health, I recall OTB shared how he set aside a sum of money for his future. This money is not in the stock market. He also subscribed to a learning course on FA by KC Chong.

Was he a bankrupt? Probably not, but it was not surprising for a remisier to be in deep financial difficulty post 1997. Glad for him that he is out of this difficult period.

I think it's a fair observation of 3iii.

OTB confessed that he suffered great losses during 1997/1998 several times in public n in I3. Whether he was bankrupt then or not I dont know.

Anyway he made his big barrel of golds during the export themes few years back, also the starting point of Koon Bee (which didnt last for long, maybe 2 or 3 years only).

In the subsequent years till now, I believe he made good profit during most of the years....n it seems to me he never ever miss any theme plays.

How to lose leh for Sifu's case....

He is always the first one to buy n to sell....buffered by his VVIP, few hundred RM1000 subscribers and many many waterfish who wanted free tips in I3.

If I made up following statement, I run over by a lorry.

If the following came from OTB, he go out the road, the car will knock him down!


“As long as I did not cause my subscribers to lose RM200 mil in JAKS Resources and above RM100 mil in Dayang (Enterprise Bhd), I think my performance is considered to be very good if compared against Koon Yew Yin who has no skill to invest in our KLSE (Bursa Malaysia).”

How could you post above statement in public forum against your old friend. This is a 反骨仔behavior! I didn't make up this story.
---------------
Vincent8864 is a shameless liar here.
Do not know the whole story, copy and paste to attack me.
Please check with Sslee, he knows the story well.

I never attack anyone in I3.
Mr Koon attacked me, I just reply his attack in the above message.
I never attack Mr Koon if he did not betray me by telling lies in I3.
I have held back many attacks because I am still grateful to me.

Mr Koon knew that, he apologised to me after he read many attacks on him in his postings.

I do not have many attackers in I3, the number can be counted using fingers.
I am not like you, badmouth and quarrel with many people in I3.
Do not know the story, do not simply jump into conclusion.
Do not tell lies in I3.
I post my article honestly in I3, hence I do not worry on your lies to badmouth me.
Thank you.

--------------------
Yes. You tell the true story.
I have many client losses in 1997/8, however, these clients are very gentleman, they paid the losses in 1999/2000.
I hold a remisier license since 1993, a remisier cannot be a bankrupt.
The license cannot be renewed if I am a bankrupt.
I worked for 3 jobs to earn back my investment capital.
I started to make back a lot of money in 2009, I gained a lot on Gamuda-WC.

I want to be fair, I made a lot of money in export stocks in 2014/5 and also VS.
I was the champion in I3 stock pick competition in 2015, the ROI is 235% if I am not mistaken.
Mr Koon promoted all the stocks selected by me, I benefited a lot in 2015.
Hence I am very grateful to Mr Koon even he attacked me a few times.
Mrs Koon was very kind to me, tell Mr Koon to apologise to me after his public attack on me.

Thank you.

Mainland Chinese buyers are picky. They only look for those quality aged puer tea high on demand in China. They themselves are tea merchant in China.

Right now, China economy not that good. Those Mainland buyers not coming to look for tea for time being. Just keep the tea a bit longer to wait for tea market to recover. As quality improves over time, same goes with its price. Not selling this year need not worry, for next year you may sell at a higher price.

Puer tea investment is not like investment in stock market. You must know your tea well and what is its current market value. How to dispose is not much a problem. It is easier than selling your house.

Of the named stocks, recall that Uncle Koon was locked in a fierce battle with JAKS after both he and his wife Tan Kit Pheng (main pic; left) mopped up large quantity of the stock, only to be subject to forced selling in view or margin calls when the price of JAKS started to plunge after touching a high of RM1.85 in February 2018.

“Based on our average selling price of 80 sen, our average purchase price of RM1.20 per share and our total holdings of 160 million shares, we have lost RM64 mil,” he noted in a blog posting dated Dec 8, 2018. ‘This is my most expensive lesson in my life.”

I think KYY lost a lot of money playing Jaks and Eversendai.

It is probable that all the gains he made before these were not enough to cover these big losses.

Why the very big losses? He probably bet very big in these 2 counters. He visited these companies' assets in Vietnam and the Middle East. He was very positive on the businesses of these companies. In hindsight, he was overwhelmed by the bullishness of his own emotions, and did not realise or underestimated the downside risks. He also probably leveraged a lot on these 2 stocks.

When these stock prices collapsed (due to poor business performances), their share prices tanked. Caught in a downturn, the high exposures and high leverages led to severe margin calls. By his own sharing, he had to sell some landed assets to cover for these losses.

OTB, KYY and friends hyped the furniture stocks in the past. The share prices of these stocks expanded and it was obvious they made a lot of money. Remarkably, they then focused on Hengyuan, and too managed to hyped this stock to a high level. Those who followed them too made a lot of money.

Should you follow such market activities? It was obvious price movements upward attracted a lot of momentum traders, and also short term punters.

Alas, there were a lot of blood spilt on the streets when the bubbles burst. Human behaviour is such. Old players with experience might have modified their behavious, but there are new players freshly entered for the slaughter again.

Jesse Livermore is the greatest trader in the world. At one time, Livermore was one of the richest people in the world but he killed himself with a gun in hotel room.

OTB has the same characteristics like Jesse Livermore. He is good in stock selection but he is a gambler, he doesn't know when to leave the gambling table. He will lost every single cent he has on gambling table before he take a break.

A bowl of laksa is a luxury to me, this is the type of life I have.
Hence I am always very frugal in life even until today.

After I made it from KLSE, I really treasure all the money I have.
I keep 30% of the money in FD and 30% on property.
This saving will enable me to have a good living until the last day of my life.
No more loan and I keep cash and shares only.

The answer is there are 1000000001 ways to lose money in the stock

1. Stock prices can fluctuate wildly due to economic events, geopolitical tensions, or changes in investor sentiment. Even seasoned investors can be caught off guard by sudden market drops, leading to significant losses.

2. Jumping into popular stocks or investment trends without understanding the underlying fundamentals can be dangerous. These stocks can be overvalued or prone to sudden declines, leaving latecomers with significant losses.

3. Sensational news reports or overly optimistic analyst predictions can create hype around certain stocks. Investors who buy into the hype without doing their own research may find themselves holding overvalued stocks that eventually crash.

4. Frequent buying and selling of stocks can lead to high transaction costs and taxes, eating into profits. Overtrading also increases the likelihood of making poor decisions under pressure.
