@ Roshan ,

Nice and tell us the name also.Is that u?

Qualification doesn't bail u out at investments or business. Most of the world famous richest people who initiated businesses had no education background but ll the wold best educated people are working for them.

Passing an exam is a Proof that the candidate is doing better than others at the exam.But What about other 21 hours ?

Qualification is just one best method to get an idea about a candidate, before selecting. After that performance will make you judge.

This is a vast are to be discussed. Better to open another topic. Please Dont mess up this discussion.And understand what topic says be4 posting....

Thanks

Thanks everyone for their contributions and reading them make me really happy and proud.

Because being a simple Villager and a college drop-out with no fancy title or flamboyant qualifications to add either in front or behind my name, yet knowing well now hitherto I have lost only a few Rupees (Sorry, I forgot the MASK - R issue) in the CSE, compared to many others makes me happy . Very Happy

(A few unrealized losses are there but the unrealized gains are far more).

By the way, in here a quite awhile too now.

One of my friends told me recently, stock trading (not investing) is like driving a car; educational background doesn't count much.
Anyway, like to share what your approach to market (strategy) is?

Just curios did you have lot of speculatives or was it blue chips bought at high prices which killed your investment. Twill help all of us to educate ourselves more and prepare for the next time. That is a significant temporary loss depending on what you hold. Hope wise compared to your portfolio this loss is not massive % wise ?

For example if one is holding greg.w which got locked for trading , it would be a hard hit.

chef-15 years
part time investor,stock trader-14 years
these days we see lots of frustrated investors in CSE and some of the investors already left. when it's come to your profession,one day you will be retired from your profession. But when it's come to stock market,I think it's life time.you are in the boat already so you should be happy that you started a life time profession.Try to lean in good times and bad times, you will be rewarded.

No it's like more IQ and open minded better performance. Qualifications mean crap in places like CSE if you don't know how to apply your self or to be open minded!

Absolutely correct.
