Q: This is not a question, just comment.
So nice to see Peter on BNN's show today. I subscribed to 5i for some time. I made some money but also lost on certain stocks. But that is expected in equity market. It is different from bonds or treasury bills that ensure you won't lose the principal. I listened to Peter's webinar on how to pick stocks and made notes. I read it again and again to remind myself not to make stupid mistakes again. For Peter and 5i staff's advice I want to express my gratitude. Other 5i members' valuable input and ideas are also highly appreciated.
In bad time, it is hard to be an optimistic investor, but it is a very important attitude to get through corrections or depression. We have seen the 'safe' bank stocks go down to an incredible level before and go up again. Understand one's own risk tolerance and 'do your homework' is a must. I also look at other resources though they have different views and sometimes confusing. There is also an element of luck when I sell a stock at a high price and then it drops a lot on the next day. Cheer up, things will change although we do not know when.
