    Well done for holding an XXXXXL position mate. Congrats. If this makes the half way point between the PE of Briscoes and Kathmandu its a $7 stock so the PE is very reasonable even for those who are emotionally attached

    Yes mate, longer experience has taught this slightly greying dog that its better to be half wrong than completely wrong. Probably a bit dangerous buying back in at this price, you might get your fur ruffled.

    Perfection is not possible in the share market.
    I was reading an article in Livewire this morning, that said Warren Buffett only got 6 out of 10 calls right.??????
    Worth thinking about.

    ps.Lucky for us so many posters on ST get 8 or 9.5 out of 10 right.?...lol.

    Thanks and well said. I find I am too hard on myself and expect 9 out of 10 to be right when a more realistic expectation is more appropriate. Read the other day that Buffet make most of his money after 55. That makes me feel better too. Turners seems to have stabilized too, better than 50/50 chance I don't need to visit the therapist this week lol

    A friend of the family was a builder.
    Told me he always followed the market, but did not have the cash to really invest until he sold his business and retired.
    Then he made his "real wealth", in the share market.
    I have heard the 6 out of 10 call often,but this was the first time I heard it also included Warren Buffett.
    For us "mug" investors I think we have to realise we will make mistakes often.
    The secret is then to wake up quickly, sell, and move on.
    It worked for me in book selling,and works just fine with the share market too.

    PS.I think knowing you are human and are going to make mistakes,makes it a lot easier to face up to them.

    You're becoming like a wise old owl in your retirement Percy and saving me a fortune on therapists lol

    $6 there you go folks. Just remember who called this a buy at under $3 against widespread howling that retail was dead lol
