okay,let me start off with snap...The thing I learnt from sappi is to not make a losing position bigger,don't panic and make an emotional decision(have the guts and patience to wait it out),look at the percentage and not the money,and most important of all,never touch sappi again!!! Why should I buy gold? It seems that whenever money gets taken out of equities they go into gold so the price of gold goes up and the gold shares go up aswell(which isn't always the case cause so many other factors can influence their prices).If this is the case then share prices go down and I might as well short a very liquid stock like AGL.I just need to get my timing right,cause then I would've made some money buy now.As for putting all of my eggs in one basket,I know it goes against all logic and it's just plain stupid,so I'm not gonna bae able to justify my decision.As for the size of the exposure...the only way I can explain it is greed,excitement,stupidity,gambling,luck and gut feel.Some day I'll take you for a nice dinner in my jet ;)
