"Have been feeling abit depressed of late due to all my funds being locked up in stocks. Really plan to get out of most of them once they are back in the green, and focus on just a few good ones to hold, while trading the others. Learned a lot along the way, about TA, about various trading, risk management plans, about managing emotions, and more importantly, about the fact that I really need to prioritise time for family over trading etc. My daily schedule is still a mess, being in a job just for the sake of dragging out the days to get more $$, wanting to spend more time with the boys and enjoy their growing up years (or days rather), wanting to take them out to more fun stuff, and managing without maid, while still trying to pump for baby etc. So yeah, I've decided to hold off on trading and stocks for abit and trying even harder not to beat myself up for not unloading many of my winning stocks and funds on 25 Jan, that fateful day when market peaked the very first time of my life involved in stocks. Oh well, have to keep telling myself not to dwell on past failures and move on to make better use of the opportunities to be had. Just 2 years into stock investing and a few months into more active trading only. I'll make it back in the long time to come."
I should blog about my Fx experience, swinging from $20k win to $21k loss in a few weeks. There were the obvious signs. I got emotionally attached and ignored them. In the end, missed so many nights of sleep, gained bit of experience and bit net loss after losing all my wins. Sad. Still suffering from PTSD. Right now that I'm still working (to make back some money), and need to be occupied with kids, and with stocks all down and capital locked up, I shall try to be zen and use this time to study. People make, people lose. Those who make big, might sometimes lose big. I'm still good. I'll learn and make it all back with time and experience. Right now, shall spend more time with the boys while they are still young and need me, and get enough rest in the hectic days instead of stressing out too much. Hugz to my family for their unconditional love and support. I'll work hard for you all! =)
