The topic carries no meaning for any understand on stock market front, it is more about personal issue instead of stock market related issue.

1. People's experience occassionally being shared at stock market thread if one follows the thread.

2. Doesn't it matter? A person may start at 1,000, B person could start at 1 million, so what's the point of knowing it?

3. Wrong question, successful in term of what, gain money? Gain 10%? Gain 100%?
I might gain 7% from the stock market annually, I consider a successful investment because it yield 3x FD is offering.
While the other gain 10% consider it is not a succesful trade. Success is the wrong word to use in investing. Investing is on going process, that's no end result liek score card that getting 80 points then it is an A, successful.

4. Does it matter?

5. Does it matter? People surely gain lot of money in bull market, while lose in bear market even Warren Buffett also registered negative return in bear market. 

A person can be earning big or fortune from stock market, B person can lose his/her pant in the stock market. So tell me, is the stock market a good investment target? How to answer it? 

No offence, just the question asked is trivia or none related issue in stock market discussion. 

Cheers.

Hi everyone,
I am in stock market trading for around 1 year but I still consider myself as a newbie because I am getting started and hope to become a great stock traders in the future. I want to earn more money to buy properties as investment.

1. Could you please share with me your stock trading experience?
2. How much money you get started?
3. How successful are you now?
4. How many years of trading?
5. Anyone make a lot of money from stock trading?

A lot of people say that investing in stock market is gambling. For me, it is not a gamble. I read quite a lot of books about stock trading, fundamental and technical analysis. I learn and read Warren Buffett investing technique and I learn how to trade.

Is stock market a good way to invest?

I trade for more than years, almost gone through many cycles, ups, downs, very downs..

Pay a lot of school fees but ultimately learn a true lesson, never be greedy. No matter how much you make according to those gurus mentioned in text books, if you stay at the peak of any cycle, I mean u get caught with all your money in a sharemarket, you are definitely a looser.

My one sen thought. Trade within your means, always stay cautious.

I agree with you. As long as we make profit, then we should let go. Don't be too greedy.

I agree with you. As long as we make profit, then we should let go. Don't be too greedy.

I don't fully agree on the staement as long as make profit, we should let it goes. 

Just like one has bought Pbbank at 8.00, then at 8.20, got profit, so let it goes? So you only earn 20 cents out of it, while after 10 years, it could become 15.00.
Too greedy not good, too short sighted also not good.

It is not like gambling, once gain, cabut already. Unless one treats share market is a gambling table, then different story. 

I would say stock also is another asset class one can diversiy into instead of holding cash as FD, or bond etc. It can be another asset class that for long term investment which can achieve through invested in steady, well run/managed copmany which always never disappointed their shareholders one.

Started investing in stocks beginning of this year. Got an online brokerage. I am averaging around 30 - 40% returns. Only invest in 2 counters at the moment. Before this, I only invested in unit trust but the returns are really not that attractive but I still invest for my own retirement, children education and epf. Unit trust I invest on a monthly basis. Stocks only when I have a lump sum to invest and when I find a stock to be at an attractive price.
