Do not use funds you need, do not lose funds that you could not take into the back yard this second and burn them without ever looking back. Do not be emotional, do not listen to most of the people on this forum, do not trust anyone here or elsewhere....no matter what.
It is not about anyone on this forum but in general, it is advised to take knowledge, experience & lessons from other people but not the trading/investment tips. I have lost my capital in my initial days of trading when I used to trade based on the opinions of the people talking in the trollbox. I later realised that I was a victim of pump & dump schemes so since then I have learned from my mistakes. Trust me, it is worth it if we are learning something from our mistakes.
