Haha... sometime that's true also...
The more you know -> the more you don't know;
the more you don't know -> the more you scare;
the more you scare -> the more you not dare;
the more you not dare -> the more you lose out

The trainings provide you with better bottom line (cover backside by kiasi & kiasu), but no better up line

That's true.
Sometimes loving something doesn't have to go deep into it. Just know the surface may have tremendous fun, too.

But I don't agree that pursue knowledge is a form of "kiasu" or "kiasi". Unlike those teenage and fresh grads after secondary school, it actually takes up courage to pursue another course when you're already an adult with responsibilities and reliabilities.

Kaisi or Kaisu in the sense you feel that there is no stock worth to buy at Bursa. None will meet your " selection " of stocks

HTT should know what am I talking.

" The more you know the more you do not know "

I get what you mean.

I'm taking the course not because I want to pick the right stocks and earn money. I just want to understand the economics better.

And I do agree the more you know, the more you actually don't know. But then again, if everyone having this theory in mind and think that courses are not worth to go for to enhance knowledge, then what's the initial purpose of study, right?

Okok... personal opinion...
I not regretted having such knowledge, because sometime it's kind of fun when you notice something going not so right in a company while others keep rushing in while you stay still, later the whole thing bust and proven you are right on your decision, also when you notice something is seriously undervalued while other dump that in panic, later proven you are right; I not trying to be mean, and often I erred in decision like that and missed opportunities (that's why sky means, he not trying to be mean either ).

Being better equipped with knowledge reduce damage that might happen to you, but that also limit the upside you are going to get, because if you stay rational while market going irrational, chances are you underperformed market. But you might be able to sleep better

Just my 2 cents.

I remember my Master in Investing ( lecturer ) used to say .

The harder you try to find a " Successful trading system" in Share Market, the more unhappiness you are.

After all your efforts, the worst thing finally after a long period of time , you discover there is NONE.

You could be more educated than Ahmad or Ah Beng, but in fact he is making more money than you.

I think both of us from the Confucius School of Thought.

We are the minority .
