Agreed.
In fact WB says something (many Gurus too) like this : (Correct me if i am wrong). "If you can not stomach a stock portfolio loss of 40 to 50% (it can happen if a black swan suddenly appears), you should not be in the market in the first place." Another words not everybody can take the "natural extreme volatility" of the market that will happens from time to time. If you can't please stay out. But then paradoxically or ironically you only know whether you can or not after at least surviving two very bad bear markets. IMO. Well, maybe some people knows they cannot be in the market by just observation of the volatility of the market. No worry "Low Risk, Low Return" in the the long run may be better for you. Maybe better even than some of us.
WB:-
1) Rule # 1, do not lose money. 2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1. 3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money. Truism of Investments. A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return. NB:- My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.

what WB say is very true
for STI, over the last 2 decades there has been three 50% corrections! if one cannot tahan and sleep well in a bear market, one should ask himself if he should be invest in stocks [Image: crash+3.png] Japan's 7% drop is scary... Europe open DOWN 2% I wonder how will US go down tonight? heng we tomorrow holiday, take a breather first... see how the ang mor market moves and we decide on monday

Not necessary always from US market, itself. Though it usually does in the end because US is still the world's 2nd largest economy. And most innovative one compare to the rest of the world. Almost all new "inventions", products, medicines etc.. still comes from US. (23-05-2013, 10:18 PM)camelking Wrote: Some people getting panic after 1.7% drop.......Depend! It's very hard to say. Imagine if you have not sell anything and your portfolio shows a profit of 100 to 150%, will you be "Kan Cheong Spider" then? i will.
