🌟🌟🌟"Buy high, sell low" - this is the unofficial motto of every rookie  investor who thought that he is the next Buffett after one green candle.

Mine?  Holding on to Top Glove like it was a family heirloom.  I watched it bleed, rationalised every dip and whispered sweet nothings like it will recover while it quietly packed its bags and moved to the basement of my portfolio.

At some point it wasn't a stock anymore.  It was a character building exercise .

But here's the thing:  It wasn't a failure.  It was tuition.  The markets charged me a fee and in return I got wisdom.

Now I know - Cut the losers, ride the winners and never confuse hope with strategy.

Top Glove did not just cost me money.    It taught me a valuable lesson.

So yes I have been roasted but now I am much wiser.  With a good dash of discipline and staying calm, Investing is a glorious adventure that rewards those who are patient and courageous.

      That is what I invest now - plain vanilla boring ETFs but better than trying to choose stocks.
