Tragic.

Of course, this is not a new topic in ASSI. See blogs like the following:

1. Don't think and grow rich.

2. From rich to broke.

3. Why some might never be rich?

Missed selling APTT at higher price.

Hi Mr. AK,

I like when you say all investments are good at the right price.

I also follow you to buy APTT when it was 38c. Thank you.






I just found out you sold end of last month. The price now 43c.

I missed the chance to sell at 49.5c. Do you think I should sell at 43c?






I am not blaming you but I only read your blogs on stocks.

I missed the sell on APTT at high price because it was not not in the blog title.








Hi LK,

Welcome to my blog.

If you like Peter Lynch's famous saying, you should first learn to tell the difference between price and value. 

You could start by reading some books: HERE.





Read that blog post of mine again to learn why did I choose to sell and not hold on to APTT for dividends. 

Note that although the investment gave me a very nice 32% capital gain, that was not the main reason for selling.






As for being less than organised in my blog, I am a mental blogger. Sometimes, I confuse even myself. 

A thousand apologies.

Best wishes,
AK
