Have you staked multiples of your usual size and gained or lost big from it? What’s your story?
I have in the cash market few times. Although I have never staked more than 10% of my capital on any trade (so this is not as big in those terms)
Intense tech - lost 50%.
Borosil Renewables - it went down more than 60% but eventually gained to 3 times my price - sold it too early unfortunately
These days I do very little in the cash market (MF is sufficient for that). I have never over-reached while buying options, although the whispers are getting louder recently
I’ve lost a lot in 2015&2016. That time I was new to markets and used to buy in cash on recos of TV channels. I don’t remember names of stocks now. All I remember is I ended up losing ₹ 1 lakh including charges on an investment of 2.5 lakh in just 4 months. December 2015 to March 2016. Then took a 2 month break and restarted in May. And was able to cover that loss in 3.5 years by December 2019.
Experience teaches you lot …
