Emotional Investor

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Hmmm, well I'm going to answer this question in a long winded way, but please bear with me.

Christmas to me is about family, being with Family and it's not about presents, it's sharing a joyous moment in time Together.

But I am the emotional investor, well I'm actually an intelligent investor... my book shelves are full of books by David Dodds, Ben graham and Warren buffet, but I digress. I generally focus on intelligent investing rather than emotional investing, cause it's easier to explain. But this post will give you insight into emotional investing.

So, family is like stocks. You sit at the Christmas table, having brought and cooked the turkey and the ham and look at the family that has come. Emotionally some have been very supportive, ringing or seeing you daily, weekly, monthly... doesn't matter. They have been an emotional support. Then there's some you haven't Herd from since last Christmas. Hmmm. 

So similarly, some stocks you own have gone up idk 400%, and some are down 50%. Which stocks do you want at your Christmas table?

Come January, who will you invest your emotional time in? Your brother, sister, children, mother, father? I'd suggest you should do the face palm on that selfish aunt, or whoever, and invest in the people that give you a return on the emotional capital you put into them.

Family is like stocks, research the time you put into each of them, and the reward you get. Sometimes a bit of effort with a family member will pay huge dividends, sometimes it's just an emotional insinkorator.

Don't mean to stuff up anyone's Christmas, but hopefully you get what I'm on about... aunt Jill stuffs it up, every single year, why! Just dump that stock, it's not worth the effort.

Merry Christmas tigers :)
