May sound like a broken record by now. Started my investment journey as a student in feb 2021, at the ATH of many hype tickers such as ARK funds etc. It all went downhill from there. Kept averaging down to no avail. I do believe in the innovation and possibility of rebound/recovery so I am still holding on and not panic selling (what a rollercoaster!!!)Lesson learnt. Have to do due diligience and not follow others blindly. Not get tempted by the hype and gravy train when others post their extremely high returns and fomo in. Being more cautious and adopt a more wait and see attitude. Choose more fundamentally sound companies, those that I have some understanding of, or businesses with great potential and future that I can envision. With information and thus conviction, I
As the end of the year approaches, many of us will begin our Christmas shopping, assuming we haven't already done enough shopping sprees over the 9.9, 10.10 and 11.11 sale. However, we should also not forget to save a little and put it into our investment portfolio given that investing has the ability to perform its magic of compounding and delivering long term returns.

History has shown that a market sell-off is a great time to add quality companies to your portfolio. Although no one can predict when that will happen, a 10% drop occurs about once every two years.

Started out with ARK funds and other speculative positions at their peak in Feb before sector rotation and bond yield fears. That was quite a trial of fire for a newbie for me. I held most of my promising speculative plays throughout and intend to continue to do so.My most disappointing (realised losses) plays are $SOS Limited(SOS)$ and $Revolution Acceleration Acquisition Corp(RAAC)$. Bought it to the hype, did not do my own due diligience and entered blindly. Its an enlightening lesson for me. Better to lose some money now then to lose much much more in future. Even though my portfolio has neve
