Lynas.. Malaysia..


I sold my Lynas holding for a substantial loss this morning...  

I guess it's all my own fault. Looking back, I managed this trade very badly... Damn!

Ok, let me go through my mistake:

  1. First rule of investing : Does the company make any money?
  2. Second rule : Does the product susceptible for price fluctuation that they can't control? i.e boom and bust scenario?
  3. Does the company have any legal proceeding or issues in their operation?
  4. Did I  apply stop loss properly?
  5. Was the company's sp affected by any hype in any way?
  6. Did I enter the trade, aware of those condition, but enter it anyway, because the price MIGHT come back up? (this trade was entered after a steep crash in SP)
