15yrs ago I was an ordinary child who wanted almost everything; remote car, transformer, lego & last but not least my doraemon comics (never missed collection since vol 01!!!) That time I only own toys bought from pasar malam (night market) which the most cost RM3.20. Looking at other kids toys, of course I want more! esp d one that been promoted in TV, wic only made available in shopping complex not pasar malam (recalled, the most luxurious shopping mall visited was WARTA in Selayang). I cannot help myself than cried all the way from night market or shopping mall to home & to room when my father didn't bought toys that I wanted. I refused to eat for days as a sign of my frustation....haha....
One evening, my father ask me to learn about stock (imagine, only 10 that time) but he simply put it as 'avenue to make money'. He made an agreement to buy anything that I want, provided I make money from stock. As a naughty silly child, I just accept. I thought it was as easy as 'buy & sell', but since I had to 'borrow' my father's money to get started, I had to justify wic company I proposed to buy. Damn tough to get through him wic then I became bored & no more interested.
As we always had vacation during school holidays, I cannot forget when he said 'jalan2 kali ni sponsored by company "X"' ('this trip is sponsored by company "X"). I really thought that time company X give money to my father for us to spend during holidays.... nice hotel, full-tank gas, delicious food, joyful activities etc... My thinking was, if there exist such a generous company like that, y i cannot get what i want (super remote control car) last time. Then only he explained the money came from stock...Hmmm.... my interest in stock start to blossom.....
While looking for job upon graduation, I took that free time opportunity to learn more about stocks. I spent hundreds of ringgit for book regarding stocks after searching no less than 49 bookstore in KL. From finance to accounting, investment style & philosophy as well as it's key behavior & attitude, i studied them all within six-months. I didn't physically attend any classes or seminar cos NO MONEY!!!! After completing all the books, I merely discuss & debate with my fathers from global economics to personal accounting (P/S: he is Malaysian Chartered Accountant). For me, he is truly a coach. After going two bulls & bears cycle in Malaysia throughout his venture into stocks, more or less I have better understanding this new "Unknown Market".
Only after another six-months of digestion of all sort of info, I began my first venture into stocks. As what people said, experience is the best teacher. Only after my purchase, I realized it is very difficult to make theory into practice in stocks, esp for beginners. Whole lots of different environment I were breathing in. Once stocks bought, emotional start to came in, forget all of the game plan. Only then my learning curve start to accelerate at tremendously. To novice investor like me, do not worry & stay calm, that is just a trick & cheat of the game.
STAY TUNE.....
