When shares go down

The share market is really taking a beating now. Friends were complaining, my dad has been pulling a long face for days. Even his blue chips banking shares are not spared.

But if you have been in this for long, you'll also know, what goes down must come up. So if your counter is down for the moment, don't sweat. Turn off the news , don't read the papers. Just wait it out. Could be a while though, but it's the norm right? Markets go up & down, this is what they do. If you cant stomach a little dip, then this kind of investment is not for you, put your money in time deposit instead.

What's happening to 2016?

Time flies , cant believe it's almost mid of January. 2015 just whizz by. Time is indeed relative. When you are busy it seems to go faster. But when you are suffering.... it's almost like watching paint dry!

Strangely unlike other years, the end of 2015 was pretty quiet for me. The usual Christmas celebrations, parties etc... were somehow much toned down. No one seem exceptionally excited about anything. Same thing is happening for this coming CNY. Wonder what happen? Because the financial world is slowing down? And everyone is holding their breath?
