      Avoid companies who’s annual revenues are declining for 5 consecutive years, net income inconsistent, cash flow from operations declining. Also avoid hyped up speculative stocks

    Most costly mistake was overestimating my risk appetite and fomo-ing to buy higher risk stocks which crash promptly.

      You're brave for admitting your mistake and helping others learn from it. 🌟 It takes a lot of humility to do that.

    My biggest mistake was buying into the hype/FOMO and began chasing stocks as their price rose. As a result, my average cost is still way higher than the market price now. I am still stuck with some of them with quite a bit of unrealised loss.

    everybody wants to buy low and sell high. don't ever think that you've invested when the price is at a all time low, as it could drop further immediately. also as all oldies say: "don't put all your eggs in one basket" ... spread out your risks. @koolgal @LMSunshine

    感谢 @TigerEvents 主办活动👍🏻👍🏻我最后悔买了$摩贝(MKDTY)$,这笔交易让我输到血本无归😓这是一支赌博投机股,之前贪心乱跟风买的垃圾股。我从中得到教训,经一事长一智,我以后投资会更谨慎!如果把股市看作是人生,那么我们就不要在意短期的利益得失,我们的目的是未来能够过的更好,赢得更多。我现在会继续留在$老虎证券(TIGR)$等待好时机买入更多有价值的优质股票😃朋友们,请加入留言有机会获得虎币或老虎礼物 @boardy @MHh @HelenJanet @rL @MillionaireTiger @BobbyLopez @melson @alylady @SR050321 @Deshost @Joker_Smile @chaicka ❤️❤️❤️

    🐯Tiger Friday is here, Thanks @TigerEvents Repost and tag 3 friends will be given 10 Tiger coins by TigerEvents. I have made many trading mistakes, for instance, Chasing fad investments, No investment plan and letting my emotions to get the best of me. I bought $PALANTIR TECHNOLOGIES INC(0A7R.UK)$ at its high and sold at low because i became impatient and sad everytime i saw the losses. Now PlTR is flying high again but i already sold it all.[Cry][Cry] For $DBS Group Holdings Ltd.(DBSDY)$ i made the mistakes if being overconfident in my abilities as an investor and thought i was smarter than the markets. I profited a few times buy and selling it. I last bought it in April SGD 32.42, thinking it was unshakable although the banking crisis already started. Now i am stuck.[Facepalm][Facepalm] Do you know how to rectify the problem? I am looking at today’s MA5 and hope for good news. Should i start DCA? Will it go lower? Special thanks @StarLuck @rL @0QH

    Mistake have a lot, Mistake is already see profit and don't want to sell off.
    Mistake also can be buy at high price. After buy already stock went back down. So in order to recovery the mistake is a choose a good company like $Apple(AAPL)$ $McDonald's(MCD)$ $OVERSEA-CHINESE BANKING CORP(O39.SI)$ all good in dividend don't have to see the price. Just keep buying like every month. After 10year see result. Divident might cover already for the loses @SR050321 @SPOT_ON @koolgal @LMSunshine @Fenger1188 @HelenJanet @MHh Meanwhile i go Taiwan for work. The hotel tag along with McDonald's everyday my free breakfast id McDonald's 😅

    🌟🌟🌟To Err Is Human, To Forgive Divine!  Making trading mistakes is part and parcel of becoming a better investor.   Just like a baby learning how to walk, I have stumbled many times and with each trading mistake I make, I get up and try again and in the process, I have become a better investor. 

    Due to loss aversion, I hung onto my losses even when I know that the fundamentals have changed.  An example is $DiDi Global Inc.(DIDIY)$  .  I bought at USD 12 per share and sold at USD1.50.  Ouch! That hurts but it taught me a valuable lesson to cut loss early. 

    I also learn not to be too emotional about my losses but to be more careful with my stock selection. My focus now is to buy quality stocks like $Apple(AAPL)$ 

    ,  $Microsoft(MSFT)$ with a long term horizon and let the magic of compounding happen over time.   It is human to make mistakes but to learn from the mistakes is more important than being afraid to make mistakes. Only then can I become a better investor.

    1) Risk management: cut loss fast and hold on to winners.
    2) Position sizing: use 1-2% capital per trade and compound the profit.
    3) Control your emotions: trade like a robot without fear & greed.
    4) Be disciplined: do not over trade or revenge trade, hit daily target or cut loss and leave.
    5) Consistency: show up everyday to learn from the market.
    6) Patience: do not enter the first 3-5 min candle.
    7) Mindful: watch the news and data releases.
    8) Persevere: no pain, no gain. Never give up.

    Definitely everyone made a lot of mistakes during trading life. The most painful mistake I made was not discipline enough especially on cutting losses. Then the losses became bigger and bigger until you lose your hope and eventually cut it. However, usually this cutting point might the be lowest point before the stock rebounded! Double killed by the mistakes.
    Therefore, no matter how, discipline is your key to success. Like and share your opinion guys. @Aqa @koolgal @rL @Aqa @GoodLife99 @Universe宇宙 @LMSunshine @melson

    我最大的错误是买细价股。当它进一步下跌时,我会变得更糟。学会只购买知名公司,如苹果、亚马逊、谷歌等。 @LMSunshine @Fenger1188 @nenevader @CynthiaVogt @Blinkfans @nerdbull1669 给我一个赞支持我。

    my mistake: buying too early when the stock went down only to go down further after buying. so now I have a target price and be patient and wait till the stock reaches my target price. I have learned not to panic when stocks dive down but to be patient and ride out the storm. I have also learned to have risk mgt. which is one of the most important factors to have to minimise risks.

    recently I tried to fight the trend and shorted $Shopify(SHOP)$, lost all my earnings from the last 2 months. Shorted too early as I was not patient, could have make some money or at least break even if I waited for it to go up just about a bit more
