i did the same mistake many times and now learnt the lesson to never average on a loosing stock instead you should add to a winning stock

I did not know much about FUTURES earlier was the biggest mistake for me :thumb:

Had I discovered FUTURES in my own sweet way much earlier, I would have beaten Warren Buffet by now :p Honestly!

Now I simply love FUTURES & OPTIONS....plain equity sounds so boring to me now, though I did get the most out of plain equity at one point of time. But now I find the plain-jane equity trades so boring !!

Buffett, never became rich by playing leveraged instruments,
he is one of the extreme end of value investing, who won't even see the price chart before making an investment decision !

so you are going to beat Buffett in his game, by doing everything he has avoided !??

that's interesting!

Well its just that I have fallen in love with leveraged instruments :thumb:

I love high leverages, the higher the better....I feel safe with high-leveraged instruments and it goes well with my mindset. So if I can beat Buffett(or anyone!) :p at his/their game by doing it my way, whats the harm ? :D
