If the heart and mind is not stable, it's going to be one emotional ride up and down. These pple are better off putting their money in passive STI ETF :)<br /><br />That being said, I'm very glad that I participated in the market. It taught me many things in life. A lot of things are cyclical :)la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-75282546759966315962014-10-16T23:14:27.408+08:002014-10-16T23:14:27.408+08:00Hi 15HWW,

No matter how many books or how many stories you've heard, you've got to try out a bear market to really really know your own risk profile :) Are you the type who gets jittery when the market drops 50%? How you react to greed/fear will shape you for the next bull/bear cycle :)la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-5469055682460467162014-10-16T23:12:58.597+08:002014-10-16T23:12:58.597+08:00Hi temperament,

Good for you! =)
I started my investing j...Hi LP,<br /><br />Good for you! =)<br /><br />I started my investing journey in late 2010 when the STI was hovering at around this level so it's like back to square one!<br /><br />Admittedly, I haven't gone through a bear market, so I can't say I am "experienced" and I am feeling the tug of greed and fear these couple of days. <br /><br />Interestingly, I do realise that I was calmer even when STI dipped below 2,700 in late 2011. We are still some way off that even now. <br /><br />Guess that's because the portfolio was much smaller then and I had proportionally more bullets than I have now. <br /><br />Still very much learning... =pMy 15HWWhttp://www.my15hourworkweek.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-57630454932379510362014-10-16T20:24:55.168+08:002014-10-16T20:24:55.168+08:00Hi Kyith,

So if it still drops, I'll go down to defend at a lower price level, until I run out of bullets. Maybe can fire 2-3 rounds per enemy, but also depending on how pricey that enemy is lol!<br /><br />I'm all prepared to sink 50% in portfolio LOLla papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-63448457842892576882014-10-16T15:23:45.330+08:002014-10-16T15:23:45.330+08:00Depending.
