As we discussed about the value of having knowledge and experience when taking investment decisions, I thought of starting a thread to get an Idea about the level of experience of our forum members. I'm sure many of them have many year and some might have even decades of experience in capital markets.
Starting from me, I entered around 2005 when I was a University Student and my field is not related to Finance or Commerce. My first entry was Diolog Telekom IPO which I had a decent return about 40% within few weeks.I was less active around 2007/2008 because of my studies and of cause that was a long bear period, and then re entered around late 2008 and early 2009.
I used to read some local and international publications,articles etc. to gain more knowledge about capital market investments, but for me nothing could replace the experience that I learnt from my mistakes,though they cost at times.
Then comes the online forums, I used to follow two of them and now this forum.I must say that reading other members experience,views,analysis really took me to the next level of insight in this game.
I also should say that brokers advice never worked for me.
How about you friends?

still i cn remember that time & later on JKH was 50 & REEF was arnd 1.00 & TAFL was arnd 8 somthng 
and i know and remember the prices of some of these shares. i was so love with reef. in 2005 i was suggesting lot to buy reef i myself bought a fair amount. well i didn't loose but it didn't pay much. this was when i was in the uni... then in 2009 i was after reef which was around 2-3 rs. i applied a loan of 1 million just for the reef. they said they will approve in 3 days.. or how sad the loan took 2 months to get sanctioned. well i took that loan at last at that time it was going around 5. i remember i put the order just 10 cents more and to the whole money. i will explain later why i choose reef... then from the next day it went 10% every day with the cse. ban
But you know, this gave me a real experience and learnings. Someone can say it was costly. But my idea, if I can bear that then no matter. Anyway let's see. And hope to invest on coming People's leasing IPO.
