Hi I have been in the game for about 6 months and what I have found out is that you don't throw money at the market. A lot of the current market is based on "market Hype" especially around certain shares like oil. You need to make sure that you have a "stop Loss" - this is a protection level that you put in place once you have bought shares - and if the shares do drop to that level - you take the loss. This would be similar to saying that if the shares does drop I can handle the loss. However many of the shares will only start recovering I believe (with my limited knowledge) after 6-12 months again depending on the market and the shares you have bought. Although there is talk that gold will go over 1000 I think currently sitting at 922. Food for thought?
