Rookie mistakes

And you wonder why newbies get confused

But seriously, I appreciate both your posts and points of view. I find it really interesting that seasoned, experienced investors frequently have significantly different perspectives on things. Knowing that actually makes me feel better/more confident as it shows that sometimes there are no black and white, rights and wrongs. Much of it is just calculated risk on the day.

Thanks for all the comments people

I think you did exactly the right thing Justakiwi.

Yes, that was a bad move.

Actually I agree with Snowie as regards to dollar cost averaging into funds ( e.g. Kingfish) with a widespread shareholding in a correction. My caution was against buying a 'specific share' ( e.g. Heartland Group Holdings) in a time of major disruption without knowing the impact on the business outlook for that 'specific share'.
