Analysts aren't ...
...Sit down, everyone - I'm going to tell you a story.
See, I met this guy during my army days, and he opened a trading account after we left. "This is how to make your money grow," he told me. "I can give my parents a treat, I can buy my girlfriend new stuff, etc, etc."
Long story short, he had some spare cash lying around, he was new to stocks and trading, and he was hoping to make some money.
What happened to him was one of the things that inspired me to start this blog - I wanted to tell other young investors to never follow anyone blindly, no matter how professional they may seem. I don't care if they're analysts, senior analysts, or the CEO of the SGX. NEVER follow blindly. Always do your own due diligence, and buy when you are confident.
