Here are some of my sharing

1) Invested around 20k AUD 11 years ago in one small cap IT company listed on ASX. Done all the TA & FA and whatever analyst. Lose 90% of my capital. That amount of money is big for me 11 years ago.
Lesson learnt : never invest big especially in small cap. Only Trade them. Somemore stubborn don't want to cut lose but luckily I didn't average down.

2) Invested in Sapura energy I guess 3 years back. Estimated Lost around RM40k
but this time I smarter, I cut loss when down almost 30% from my purchase price.

Lesson Learnt : don't try to pick the bottom without doing sufficient homework.


3) Venture with friend for Bird Nest Farm 4 years back. Estimated lost RM 30k.
Lesson Learnt : learnt this lesson how screen through bullshit people that only know talk but no action. P

I'm still holding Sapura. Fc*k! What should I do with it?? I think it's about 25k loss now!!

IIRC, I think I average down ....

Lesson: don't trust crony companies blindly ....

How many percent of capital lost? If more than 50% honestly even myself also reluctant to do cut lost because damage is done. Hopefully oil price recover lo, so u won't damaged that badly. If less than that i suggest you cut it and switch to other stocks since many big company also quite cheap at the moment.

Anyway sorry for OT guys.

For me no difference to cut loss, damage ia done . Just gamble to wait turnaround, u set your new TP and please be realistic. Hopefully recent oil related matter in middle east can push a bit the share price.
