My investment summary for first quarter of 2021 is a roller coaster ride. It can be so emotional seeing good gains at the start of the year to the huge dips for the past few weeks with one after another bad news, unusual sell-off.

Many will agree that the portfolio is predominantly red (loss). I can only hope that stocks will rise in 2nd quarters.

A few learning lessons for me.

1. Be patient. This comes with restraint to wait for a better signal to buy as well as to sell. How many times have I bought too late and sell too earlier. 

2. Have a mix of long term and short term investment. I was very much into short term as the market was moving sideway for a long while before the dip. So some long term targets can likely let me sleep better at night.

3. When market fear, I enter. This is easy to say but hard to do. Many times I did that but price dip further, then it is time to buy, I hesitated. Missed opportunities also add to the fear when I am nursing the red portfolio to make it green again.

4. Enter small positions and set stop loss. I think I still don't know how to set stop loss on tiger mobile. Anyone helpful on this can please guide me [开心] 

So after this eventful quarter, my net balance is still in the red. Doing what I can to make small profits to offset the loss. 

I hope this will be a roaring 2nd quarter for all of us. Invest and stay safe. [开心]
