Even though it was a long time ago, I remember a lot like now)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first failure came 17 years ago, when I was just starting out in investing. Of course, as now, the first thing I came across was huge posters about trading, currencies, the currency market and how great it all is. With passion, I began to learn the basics and advanced techniques of chart analysis, from candlesticks to shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of this knowledge was the first attempts at transactions. I was sure of success. No doubt. At that time I was still working and my salary was something like 400 dollars a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a true professional, I opened a Forex account and deposited $1,000 there. I borrowed this money. The dollar\/yen currency pair was chosen as a pair for the deal. She has performed best on the charts in the past. The time period I chose was 15 minutes. And here it seems to be! The outlines of a familiar configuration began to appear on the chart, they definitely showed a good income in a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made up my mind and made a deal. Of course, with a shoulder. My deposit disappeared in about 4 seconds. I managed to save about $300 out of the required 1000. I was lucky somehow to stop this madness a little before it killed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this lesson, I realized that Forex never again. Never ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second lesson came later. Approximately 7 years after the first. I got burned on the bank&#8217;s Eurobonds. The bottom line is simple &#8211; the bank&#8217;s license was taken away, the quotes collapsed, and then the auction stopped altogether. I can\u2019t say that I was as wrong here as the first time, but obviously there was a gap. If I had thoroughly studied the business of the bank and its financial statements, I would not buy these bonds. But the solid coupon yield in foreign currency attracted me and then taught me to be careful. ) This lesson cost me $4,000. I lost $4000 of my money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From this I concluded that from now on I will start investing again when I study every detail of smart investing, every business, every financial statement. This is where my smart investment journey began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish you &#8211; do not repeat my mistakes, although your experience is more sensitive and better remembered, but somehow it would be better to dispose of this thirst for adventure and quick profit.<\/p><script data-noptimize>fpm_start( \"true\" )<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, I returned to buying in the Stock Market after 4 years. Research, training and tests. And since then, even if there were deals and unsuccessful companies in my portfolio, I do not regret it. Because I understand why I bought them and why I sold them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like BeatMarket, you have ideas and suggestions on how to make it better, more interesting, more useful, I will be very happy to discuss it with you.
