Your biggest loss

[#1]

Cos it would be too silly for a real name?

[Shaun_Siddall]

I dont know Brazen and super ego?

[Shaun_Siddall]

Why hide under a false alias.

[Brazen]

False alias? Not to be a pedant or anything.

[#5]

Flase alias, kindof like the "real truth"?

[DST]

If there's a pedant on the forum I'd better get my kids inside.

[Shaun_Siddall]

Shooo you guys are so cool..... Maybe try mixit or facebook.

After much anticipation, Shaun's pc finally arrived at the home.

Shame i think you were picked on at school bro.

[Brazen]

Super was home schooled. But you're right, his mom was quite mean.

Brazen was always terrified sneaking into my room

..anyway, back to the original subject under discussion. SATRIX DIVI INSTALLMENT (STDSTA). Biggest loss so far, down ~50% (55c -->28c) since early December. Trouble is that that the basket constituents seem to be all the shares that have not recovered very well...it was an investement buy, but at the moment it has got a lot of work to do to break-even before it starts earning again. Aye!

[DST]

Why - didn't she wanna get caught borrowing your lipstick n stuff?

[BusyBee]

ABK. Silly me, still holding on ... hope this will pick up closer to 2010. Purchase was more for the long run.

[#15]

Oh, for the old days.. Me with my lipstick, B strapon adorned, Chartboy threatening a double douche. alas...

[trigger]

Shaun, maybe i read you sentence incorrectly but it seems like it was not a loss for you - clever chap, no loses so far, huh?

[venice]

I lost so much it embarrasses me to say and nearly put me in a very difficult position. But I needed the pain to learn I never stop now, read read read all the time. I will never take a loss like that again. Most traders blow their first account within a year no matter how big it is. Now to answer the question lets just say enough to buy a good size house(yup still feel embarressed) yes with a pool.

My biggest lost when i bought a brand new pair of sock from Truworth, yea , i was so excited. So that faithful day, i summon up all my pride and admiration to put this pair of sock on.It was then that i realised it had a massive hole and my toe was sticking out. Guys , i am still depressed from that sock shopping...(sob)

[Shaun_Siddall]

Lost abit with Vox but there was a goood leason to be learnt from that. I see losses as almost a fee for learning if you understand afterwards what went wrong. So having finally finished studying and paying UNISA and Saica a good wack of cash, a loss here and there for learning is not to bad.

Q for shaun. If an asset has a residual value of R100 after its useful life , and deffered tax MUST be raised, do you raised Deffered tax on 1. Intention to recover cost through use. 2. Intention to recover cost thru sale Remember whatever your answer is, there is different def tax implication Come on bright spark, i personally feel that you can get this right...please provide reason.. It will be there in 2008 board exam
