Wrong questions to ask lead you wrong result!

Five years ago, I purchase my first stock thru an online broker. I have no idea what I'm doing. I get curious about stock market when everyone around me is talking about how easy to make money. Without any knowledge in stock investing, I remember I will ask people I ran into, my boss, my doctor, my neighbors, and even the person who cut my hair this question " which stocks I should buy?" Everyone around me seems to be expert and they will tell me a list of stock symbol to buy. I collect this list and buy these stocks. As you may guess , my return is pretty ugly. I think I've lost a couple grand just by asking this questions to people I ran into.

I didn't let this setback discourage me from investing stock. I just know I need to become more educated. I read books, I attended seminar, I listen to educational program to learn how to make money in stocks. I figured out I 've asked the wrong question in the beginning and that's the exact reason why I lost money. Now, I learn to ask the right questions to people I ran into : "What system (method) I should use to screen, time in and time out stock?" Interestingly, almost on one around me can tell me any thing or don't have clue what I'm asking. The amazing things is after I learn the screen method that fit my investment style, the time in to buy and time out to sell (either capture a gain or minmize a loss), my return has been gradually increasing. If you're interested to learn what are few of the system I'm using (maybe not be the best, but it's making money consistently for me), simply leave a comment and say "529pm, tell me more!". I'd love to share what I know (my stock investing method) to you if you're interested to know. I'll reveal my method when there are 10 comments to this post. Will you comment? $D
