likewise Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 you obviously have no clue about how hedge funds work, and buying and holding stocks, can turn out to be dead money, or you need to find a company that has been paying high yields for many years.

GrantSmith Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 No need to be rich in order to invest and want to learn about it. Not at all, so long as you can afford to part with $100 (give or take on the exchange rate) for some information that in this day and age is easily accessible courtesy of Mr Google. For those residing in Thailand and interested in the SET one can easily take advantage (remember those 3 words, quintessential for the purpose of dressing up of mutton as lamb) of the information available for free courtesy of the SET. Mac, you claim "expertise", mind me asking, what are these so called "expertise" and are these recognised by any authority? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naam Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 when i want to switch off from my grim work as an investor in (what i think) a grim and very risky global environment i click on this thread and after a few minutes of reading my grim face turns into a big grin. keep up the good work boys!

likewise Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 the simple thing is that you cannot admit that there is money to be made in trading major assets, so we each take our on path......the issue here is that I acutally could explain the very basics of trading over a weekend seminar but it would never cross my mind because lots of incompetent people will probably think that after the seminar they are now ready to go out and trade, morally I would feel unhappy about that. You want to sell a day course to "teach" people about investing, it is immoral, then you would be better off opening a school with a 3 month program for people who are really interested in the financial world.

MacWalen Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Traders/speculators vs investors. I teach investing. How about you guys getting together and opening a school of trading/speculating? You will be able to help a lot of people to lose their money. You can also use practical examples showing your small portfolios. I think it could really work.

likewise Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 @Naam I like trading my own portfolio with it ups and downs, as long if I reach my yearly goal I am happy, also trading cannot and should not be seen as a major income stream, you need a few other income streams, and trading is a nice extra to it.

likewise Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Mac you are making a fool out of yourself, your portfolio is a demo account mate, you think people dont see that ? Go back to teaching English isn't that what you do.....or are you the genius that can teach everything ? Wow hats off then As I said get real man, lol tiny portfolio, I do not feel the need to show my portfolio on a forum...why should I, as far as I am concerned each finances are private.....or will you now post a statement with your bank balance ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddyjenkins Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Its been some time since Mac Walen showed his portfolio to us. Do readers recall he started to show his portfolio and explained to us, using his immense knowledge of finance, how the portfolio values changed? That was such a revelation to me, I didn't know before that portfolio values would change, but Mac Walen told us and showed how he knows how to invest and make money. His portfolio was worth about 80 million baht of his school's money...all of their cash I believe. But we haven't had an update for some time. i noticed Thai stocks have fallen quite a bit since then.Does that fall explain why we haven't had an update? If so, why? Mac Walen is used to losing money so I am sure he wouldn't have minded showing us how his portfolio value has changed. He told us how he lost tons in the dotcom crash because he didn't understand options and presumably used maximum leverage, which he teaches is an excellent thing to do. So anyway, I imagine he must have just been too busy doing really important things that we wouldn't understand, at least not without another of his training courses which would cost money but be excellent value. Oh, one more question, was Mac Walen using maximum leverage again? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacWalen Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 The leverage talk was not serious as you can see from the context. I do not use leverage and the money is doing ok considering the current situation. I am not a trader but an investor. Actually I bought more.

Rimmer Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The topic title is: Walen School of Investing - learn how to make money and have a better life! If this is going back into the nuts and bolts of investing and portfolios then it needs to be either closed and re opened in business investments forum or moved over there as investment technique to get maximum input in the the topic, It is also not specific to Pattaya since the seminar has now taken place.

Oh, one more question, was Mac Walen using maximum leverage again? As I recall about 90% of his stock picks were losers and 10% winners! The SET and Thai markets are dropping like a stone now with all the problems and the Thai Baht is following suit,,this is EXACTLY why investing in emerging markets is so risky,I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole! Well at least Mac Walen has learnt another valuable lesson for his next round of seminars,it looks like he might need to start them soon once all the schools's equity has been flushed down the pan...NEVER CATCH A FALLING KNIFE!

I think there are times to add more, but to add more you need to have first started with a small position. Mac didn't he used all of the school's cash. Second, only add after a major correction. I think he has added too soon. This guy knows about as much about trading and investment as my cat...the difference is my cat has lots of redeeming features and everyone loves her and she never pretends to be an expert in trading and investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
