The market gives us many warnings. We just need to put our ego aside and listen.

That is just pathetic that you are blaming others for your loss...It's your responsibility to know what you are doing. Next time how about you invest small percentage of your portfolio if you are treading in new waters like warrants! And P.S. If you have the percentage sign in you subject bar people can not reply!

Good advice there, esp about the percetage sign. Here are some basic rules-of-thumb.
* 90% of beginners WILL ignore this. . .
* Swing trade for starters. Intraday will wipe you out.
* If you're trading shares, don't put more than 25% of your portfolio into any one trade.
* If you're trading derivatives, make sure that your exposure does not exceed your portfolio.
* Never risk more than about 2.5% of your portfolio on any one trade. i.e. if portfolio = 100k, then pull the plug if you lose more than 2.5k on close of day. DO IT! This will allow you a buffer of around 30 losing trades in a row before you wipe out and will teach you discipline if nothing else.
* And the most difficult rule of all: Make a profit target and TAKE PROFIT. Don't wait for the price to turn around - because it will kill you. So what if the price rises further. You've got your money in the bank. Be happy.
