Hey Tigers!

Welcome to this week's Thursday Special! Today's topic is the most dramatic thing you've ever encountered while investing.

I'm sure everyone had tons of experience with investing before we met. Let's share some of the most XXX investments in your life.

For example, the most horrible investment might be: I tried to sell a stock and clicked buy, or I mistyped the amount and got a number over or under.

The most regrettable investment might be: If I had invested the full amount, I could have retired by now.

The luckiest investment might be the one where I made a large amount of money without any sound judgment, relying on the luck of the investment proceeds.

And what follows from this investment？

Share your most dramatic thing with us in the comment section. 

Everyone who shares their most XXX investment will be rewarded. No coins for the exact same experience. 

And there will be a poll next Thursday to find the most dramatic investment in our community~

    🌟🌟🌟There are lots of drama when it comes to investing.  My most dramatic experience is investing in $DiDi Global Inc.(DIDIY)$  From USD 4.4 billion raised in June 2021, it fell to a low of USD 11.5 billion when I sold it.

    I learnt a valuable lesson never to invest in a much hyped IPO and to cut losses earlier  when it fell below 10% of my purchase price.  

    There are lots of lessons to be learnt in investing but a lesson well learnt makes me a better investor.

    My most life changing investment experience was the Malaysian CLOB. In 1990, Malaysia delisted all Malaysia-registered stocks from the stock Exchange of Singapore, following its split from the KLSE. Singapore stock market was small in volume so many Singaporeans traded Malaysian shares under the CLOB. I bought Tan Chong Motors, Menang & Kemayan. Then came the Asian financiak crisis & Malaysia banned the trading of CLOB shares without any warning in Sept 1998. All the CLOB shares became no value because they cannot be traded. 180,00 Singaporeans holding RM17billion worth of shares were affected. People who borrowed $ to buy shares went into very bad hardships because they coukd not pay back their loans. This experience made me to only buy shares with money I can afford to lose. Stock markets cannot be seperared from politics and government policies can change anytime, usually without notice. My motto is “Anything can happen” si always be prepared to cut loss. Thanks @MillionaireTiger

    My first most life changing investment experience was the CLOB Saga. In 1990s Singapore stock market was small with insufficient volume. CLOB was formed for Singaporeans to trade Malaysian stocks. At its peak, market value of CLOB shares was about S$20billion & all were happy. I bought Tan Chong Motors, Menang, & Kamayan. Then came the Asia financial crisis. The Malaysian Prime Minister accused Singaporeans of subverting the Malaysian economy. He banned the trading of CLOB shares in Sept 1998 without any warning. When stocks cannot be traded, they became no value. 180,00 of us holding $4.3billion in Malaysian shares were affected. Some people who borrowed $ to buy those shares fell into really terrible hardship because they had no $ to pay back their creditors. We must remember stock markets cannot be seperated from politics & government policies can change anytime, usually without notice.

    Most drama come from meme stocks and crypto. Avoid them and there will be no drama. Instead, buy $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ better. [Cool]

    最恐怖的投资经历是我第一次处理技术分析的时候。随着我新的学习均线趋势线分析，我觉得自己成了第二沃伦巴菲特，买什么赢什么，太容易了。令人惊讶的是，我只用了这个指标！几个月来，我一直在盈利，但直到2019年，世界市场就像一头疯狂的公牛。买什么买什么，我错误地链接到这是由于我惊人的技术技能。最后，当牛市告别市场时，我遇到了持续的损失。多么痛苦的经历。重要的是要同时使用基本面和技术面，永远不要仅仅通过一个单一的技术指标来判断一只股票。
    嗯，我相信我们大多数人以前都认为自己是股票之神，对吗？尤其是当你是市场新手或者市场处于极度牛市的时候。好教训！

    Yes, I did one of the horrible investment was that I tried to sell a stock and I ended up clicked “buy”. I wasn’t aware until I heard that “cling” sound 😭
    I bought a stock at a price which I thought it was the lowest, after I bought, the price drop from $1.38 to $1.23 ( $AIMS APAC REIT(O5RU.SI)$) 😩

    Best ever day I had was when I purchased some penny stocks during dot com boom back in 1999. At first, I thought I made a bad decision of buying them for around $0.29 when they’d originally started at about $0.05. I was late getting in on the play. The stock just didn’t do much for about 4 months, and all of a sudden, the price started going up to $0.50, $1, $1.20. When the price hit $1.65, I sold 2/3 of them, and made a gain of around $60,000 on that day. I sold the remaining 1/3 at $2 on another day. @deal2deal @nickname168 @luv2trade @MillionaireTiger

    最令人遗憾和恐怖的经历是在退出欧洲（英国退出欧盟）期间购买英镑。英镑美元暴跌，我想买一些便宜的英镑，这样我就可以在稳定后上涨，但谁知道它会越来越低..我在大约一年的下跌浪潮中平均下跌…当我最终止损时…第二天它开始回升…在接下来的6个月里，它一直处于上升趋势。真的kei sim（超级骗子伤心）。失去金钱，失去士气和信心…我花了几年时间让这件事平息…

    许多难忘的经历之一是我投资黄金的时候。作为一个新手，这是一次令人兴奋的经历。然而，由于风险不利，我尽可能少买。黄金随后在第二年上涨，我卖出了。然而，我忽略了银行收费，只赚了几美元【LOL】如果我坚持下去，它现在应该是一个多袋！你的经历是什么朋友？ @Bonta @daz88888888 @RDPD富爸穷爸 @LMSunshine @GoodLife99 @melson @SirBahamut [伟大]

    my most dramatic moment should be in 2021 where i lost USD1000 in half an hour.

    back then i was trying out day trading and trading this pre market movers penny stocks were easy since everything was going up.

    bought this just before bedtime thinking i could make a quick buck but boy was i wrong. Stock tanked after i bought it and i don't want to stay up all night watching it.

    So i had to cut lost to sleep properly, damm it was painful. 1 week later later, the stock doubled from the price i bought.

    this is really an example of transfering wealth from the impatient to the patient.

    在过去，SGX的手数是1000股的时候，有一次我为一只股票的几手进入卖单队列。直到收盘前几秒钟，有人从我这里买了1股，才开始执行。我最终支付了不便宜的最低佣金，只卖出了1股！当时我很生气，因为佣金比股价还高。我很高兴我们现在有了老虎证券！ @MillionaireTiger @ngph @evepek @Healthy Tiger

    The most regrettable investment might be: $TOP GLOVE CORPORATION BHD(BVA.SI)$ , it was a value trap. I bought it when it's less than half of the peak, but it still can slide down much more. gloves from short of supplies became over supplies during the Covid-19 pandemic . if you don't want to own it for 10 years, you don't have it a for a second.

    我最遗憾的投资是高尚的，投资并不断投入资金，因为它下降试图平衡。就像他们说的“接住一把掉下来的刀”，最后以极低的价格卖掉它，看着辛苦赚来的钱付诸东流。经验教训总是对分析师报告持保留态度，要么是过时的，要么是目标价被大大夸大了。即使是内部消息也可能不是真的。

    Regret has been cited by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman as probably the greatest enemy of good decision-making in personal finance. Investment regrets are often the driving force behind panicky attempts to time the market, buying at the top or selling at the bottom. Regret can prompt us to place a far greater weight on the possibility of suffering a loss than the prospect of a win. As of now, my most regrettable investment is not buying more $Netflix(NFLX)$ when it drops below $180. @MillionaireTiger

    在他们发布结果之前，我以4.50美元的价格买入了$黑莓（BB）$，但由于低于预期的数字，价格暴跌至3.17美元，并犹豫是否平均下跌。现在价格已经回到4美元以上，但仍然亏损。等待它反弹

    我去年2020年开始交易。在没有太多知识的情况下，我过去只是坐着盯着我遇到的每只股票的蜡烛图（几个小时）。我过去常常粘在椅子上，一直盯着我的macbook屏幕。我过去只在熊市时交易。当时，我对“做空”一只股票没有任何概念。当我知道我们可以通过卖出股票然后买入来可逆地赚钱，而不是先买后卖时，我印象非常深刻！在没有投资知识的情况下，我仍然设法在我的第一只股票上获得了120%的利润——这是我最幸运的投资。 @MillionaireTiger

    My most dramatic experience is selling too soon. I had a bit of cash when the 1997 Asian financial crisis hit and I invested in some financial stocks. I'd earned a decent return and was receiving decent dividends. Once things were more "fairly" valued, I sold. I should have held on and collected the dividends. @MillionaireTiger @deal2deal @nickname168

    I started stock investment 25 years ago. I kept accumulating the bank shares for the US bank that I worked for. Price kept soaring. I was day dreaming about owning a Sentosa bangalow having bbq by the beach soon. My experienced investment consultant contacted me and ran a risk mitigation and investment lesson on me 🙄. I finally agreed to sell half of my portfolio and diversified into other products. In a matter of a year, the financial subprime crisis kicked in. our bank share price tumbled from its peak 3-digit price to 90 cents! It’s a Friday. I stared at the internet with cold sweat running on my spine, wondered if the office would open the next Monday. I lost 6-digit amount. Yet, I was grateful over that timely financial planning actions. Today I still don’t own that dream bungalow by Sentosa beach although having bbq by the beach is not an issue 😂!


    Moral of the story: don’t put all eggs in one basket and don’t put all baskets in one building. Happy investing 🤗!
