Even Experts can get hurt in stocks and bonds...

How "Big Short" Author Michael Lewis Got Duped By Wall Street

"Lewis' advice for individual investors: “be conservative, don’t listen to brokerage advice, and index.” But he admits to violating his own rules. Which brings us back to those toxic assets."

More where that came from:


Chinese New Year eve, our Bursa Saham Kuala Lumpur's half day trading must have caused many to 'drop their spectacles' (in Cantonese: 'teet ngan kaeng'), when some speculative shares like HWGB (top volume and added 18 sen) and Olympia (3rd in volume and added 8 1/2 sen) surged beyond reasons other than speculation on tin mining and lottery licence respectively. Even my small number of shares would have made a few thousand more had I waited just another day! A major shareholder in HWGB, Teo Tiew, who sold tens of million shares recently, must have repeated his own name more times than Nazri's 'Racist'!
