When you say "i find satisfaction in owning great businesses and not trading them" and say it has made you money, do you make money on dividends alone without trading them?

what scares me is how easily you want to take advice and invest your cash.
choose a share that even if your initial capital is halved by a paper loss in the next 1-3yrs you will not sell, because you believe in that company.
if u can't find such a share buy a tbill or a money market fund.


Agreed.

When you say "i find satisfaction in owning great businesses and not trading them" and say it has made you money, do you make money on dividends alone without trading them?

depends on how you look at it. Have shareholders like dj ck of centum made money though they may not have sold their shares?
The focus should be on whether the underlying business is making money.

I finished buying carbacid last week at 25 bob range to wait for the unknown but I think the products they deal with have a future.I rarely consult on what to buy and many times I have smiled.
