Subject: [sharechat] Guess I'll hang
around a bit longer
To everyone who has asked me to continue to post
- a very warm and sincere thank you.
I have already sent some direct 'thank you's but
hope you don't mind if I thank you all now
... collectively.
There have been many, many times
when I've felt like I'm sending my words off into some space/time
continuum, never to be seen or heard from again. My posts started to lose purpose for me, and I'm not a person
who gains satisfaction from doing things that seem to have no
purpose.
I have received so many lovely emails - many from
those I did not even know existed before now and you have restored my sense of
purpose. (I should do this more often - just joking).
Apparently, sharechat has a number of members who
read but don't post, perhaps for fear of being ridiculed. I can certainly understand why a newcomer would not
want to draw a 'shoot first, ask questions later' kind of attention to
themselves.
The atmosphere on the surface of sharechat may be
a little cool at times but I can assure all there is a deeper
atmosphere that is much warmer. So,
to all those out there who would like to join in, why not test the water
sometime soon?
Woody, I've been feeling a little under the
weather and am thankful, as always, for your input. Deflecting the
occasional heat so I can relax in the shade for a while - just what
we all need at times.
Philip, I have always enjoyed the format of
this forum. You have reason to be proud of what you have created here.
Thank you for helping me, and others feel welcome.
What can I say Macdunk? Because I have respect
for your TA skills, your post was well-received.
Karyn, I have explained why I decided not to
continue to post. It had nothing to do with your email (well, maybe just a
little - perhaps only as one of the 'straws') BUT you obviously
have a lot to offer and I would hate to think my actions have influenced
your contribution in any way. I do hope you continue to post.
On the lighter side ... To the sharemarket, you are at times a mysterious, illogical creature
and when you're not maintaining a positive pace, those who watch you
get a little bored, edgy, and enjoy a debate. That's okay, but we need
you to be a little more exciting and rewarding in the future, to
keep the atmosphere more positive, OK?
To clear the air whilst I have this opportunity:-
For the inexperienced, it is important to understand we are
all individual investors/traders, not investment advisors, and we
cannot provide advice or recommendations for buy or sell decisions that
may result in your personal gains or losses. This is never the intention of posts regarding specific
stocks.
I have found some 'gems' with
high growth potential (for patient holds over longer terms) and I'm happy
to share that info but my personal opinion is just that and it has resulted in
my own personal wins and losses.
Also, my 'watch list' changes regularly. That
means a stock I may have discussed some time ago may now be off my radar. If
it is changing for the worse, I may not even be aware of it.
So ... because I do care what happens to you all
(and don't want to be responsible for anyone's misfortune) please,
please, at all times, follow a defined trading strategy that is
suited to your own risk profile, view my posts as info
only and do your own research, maintain your own vigilance, and
have an entry strategy and exit strategy in place that is not reliant
on info from me.
So, if it's still okay with everyone, I guess
I'll hang around for a bit longer.
Regards,
Cris
