But then again pilots,doctors and lawyers have typically been useless with money.
You would think this guy would sell his Qantas stock (reackon he would have got a few decent dividends) and reinvest in another growth stock in a more stable market.
Agree with the mantra about a gain being better than a loss.
The 'share gurus' slagged off Mr Buffet and his company Berkshire Hathway because he didnt follow their path to damnation and refused to follow their rules.
Buffet termed dot.coms "trendy" stocks and accurately predicted their demise,but very shrewdly bought up big on other undervalued bluechip "non trendy" stocks which have skyrocketed since the dot.com crash.
A fool and his money is soon parted.
