I am a immigrant from India, and I tried TA for some time. Like Darvas break out, and it worked for some time and I made lot of money. Finally I lost everything. Then I tried dividend Investing. Investing in companies with decent history of dividends and has a recent dividend better than the historical average. It was a super duper hit. I am not sure which is better?. Value investing or Dividend investing. Dividend investing has a built in timing and if the dividend shrinks time to trim.
Did your dividend investing performance coincide with rates crashing to close to zero,and did it outperform ??
The Ben Graham way. Seeking out stocks that are underpriced in book and earnings with decent fundamentals. I try and stay near the top of small caps or the bottom of mid caps, that have movement in their trading volumes. I like to study financial statements. And no I'm not an accountant, I just enjoy it.
Failure is dumb. And that's that. Humans will continue to be dumb. Nothing will truly change about the human condition. 20 years from now....these exact same revolving topics will surface here, once again.
Failure is not dumb..Its part of the process... No one achieves greatness with out failing along the way
In theory....you'd think by now...after all the Generational fuck ups....that we'd be a superior, peaceful, intelligent species....But noooooo...it's Fucking Dumbass Galore out there,,, Nothing truly changes regarding the human jackoff condition.
