RE:Tired of being left behindSorry about your loss. Playing around in the stock market is a game and the odds are stacked
against you. While the average guy takes an investment approach to it, you have to realize
you are swimming in a pool of sharks, who will use every available means to separate you
from your money. For eg. why does a stock go up one day and down the next when there
is no material change in the company? There are always buyers and sellers and mixed in
with them are entities that are purely manipulative in nature. If they can get you to sell at
a low point and buy in at a high, they have just fleeced you. There is no transparency or
fairness in any of this. If you can be taken advantage of by falling into making emotional
mistakes, nobody likes to see their investment value decline, you've lost. I've been
around for many years and its never really changed. My conclusion is, its a very dangerous
game and not suited for most people. People are attracted to it because it seems easy
and has a lure, quick profits to be had. Yes, one can make money but its not as easy as
it seems and you have to be aware of the manipulative tactics at all times and even then
you can get caught up despite yourself. Again, I empathize with you.
