The message is very clear. The person you have to trust most is you! And make sure you have the necessary mind set, knowledge and experience so that you don't disappoint yourself in the world of investing.
Basically, it is the manipulation of 10% conscious mind/who knows against 90% unconscious mind those who are unprepared/Who dont know.Apparently quite true in financial market.
The greed of the best 5% to exploit the fear of 95%. The difference is You see the BEST 5% will not be in fear. Whereas the rest 95% will either be in fear or greed.
So we Only have ourselves to blame as I could not make it to the top Conscious mind, if not the figures will Not be SO BAD. IF the figure is 50:50 then we would have more stabilised financial market.
The end result of lending and borrowing must yield positive economics results than the cost itself then it is positive. We are watching the Biggest lender and Borrower all the time that is Banking and Property sector.
{26 } If you have credit card debt and are thinking about investing in anything, stop and think again. You will never beat 18% to 36% annual interest, some on daily or monthly compounding. I agree this. Let say I have credit cards debt of 30k, my monthly minimum payment should be 1.5k. At the same time, I have 30k cash to invest. If my average monthly return 1%(dont think this easy can get) so I get RM300 from investment and need another RM1200 from salary to pay credit cards debt. If I repeat this way, need 24 month to clear credit cards debt (include interest). How about I clear debt first and every month use RM1200 from my income to invest? Think this time 'invest' in fix deposit also win. Just my opinion, coz I'm average performance investor.
Thinking again. How can I get credit card debt of 30k? If I spending RM2000 & paying RM1500 every month, I need 5 years to build RM30k debt. This should be very bad habit rdy.....then I should agree {26}
Icon8888 can survive High Interest rate exceptionally That does not mean that everybody can do it even at Low Interest rate/or even at free cash.
So market is at large enough to provide opportunity for everybody with different mindset, preference, different investment style and risk level. The market is diversified and Big enough to cater for so many type of investors ya.

Very important for young graduates to learn and keep learning in saving/Budget balancing and investment in Stock and property regardless of their profession.
I would suggest them the CASH FLOW GAME. IT has very important saving and INVESTMENT CONCEPT there. So you know that everybody can be Successful in regardless who you are Now.
Let me put it this way. Big boys knows at least 4 things 1) You cant stand the price volatility 2) You dont have the deep pocket 3) You are not patient enough. 4) Price tends to consolidates for sometimes and that bored you down/put you in self doubt.
That explains market always weed out the weak holders ya.
So what should you do then? Dont keep fighting with the Darkness.IF you sense that the speculation is high, then walk away.
Switch on the Light and the Darkness is gone.
Keep focusing on Good Company Value and Invest with Business Perspective. Trusting the market mechanism and Invest with Higher Law in mind and learn to manage your cash and portfolio diversification ya.
Those who make money in the stock market are those level headed people...those who think strait,make judgements based on company and market fundamentals,close their ears to all the rumblings around,make decisions to buy or sell when the calling is really tough,blame themselves for their decision and loses instead of others...
{ 16 } The market doesn’t care how much you paid for a stock or what you think is a “fair” price. So, when stock brokers or investment banks publish analysis about “fair” price, you know what craps they are talking about. But that’s their job, so don’t blame them.
{ 17 } What markets do day to day is driven by random chance. Again, nobody knows what the markets will do – up, down or flat. Talking about stock movement is like bitching about 4-D or 5-D or lottery numbers.
it takes experience,and clear head. Caution, Diligence to make sure,keep learning ,anlyse mistakes. Remind yourself.Invest dont get carriedaway by the Excitement of gambling/speculating.It is picking the Besssst Honest Company, not believing what you want to believe. Very good Lesson here.Thanks KW Tan, for making the innocent aware of the slaughter house.
Cant believe our Basic Financial Education is at this level. Everywhere is this pyramid scheme, gambling, speculating and punting...
I can imagine the financial education is like Buddhist climbing ten thousand steps to pagoda, Muslim perform hajj at Mecca, Christian pilgrimage to Holy Land,....
