I used to trade gold futures….lost my arse.
Markit you’re into a bit of diversity..your wife has diversified to home for Galungan..no doubt staff have POd as well and you may not recoup all your losses?
It’s a great question for a site about Bali …oh and French food.
I also lost my ass over the stock market! I was a fool and listened to my mother in law who at the time was making big bucks, so when I inherited some money I went to Morgan Stanley and sat with a broker and blindly invested in what she recommended. I knew nothing about market value and even invested some of the money into what I thought was an investment for my retirement. It also was base on current market value, and I couldn't touch it for at least five years! I watch as it rose a little, dropped more, then rose a little to keep baiting me to leave it in. I saw it was going to continue this pattern of up a little then down more until I realized I was going to lose all my money. I went to take it out and they said Oh! I should leave it in and eventually it will go back up! I told them I don't want to wait ten years and lose it all. I lost over thirty percent of the money I invested! So now I wouldn't invest in anything with the dream of making more money from investing. Like they said Gold is very volatile, the stock market is designed for the broker to make profit, not you! Maybe that's why their called a broker! Better stick to food French and Thai sound delicious! I'm not impressed with food from Bali. They seem to eat the same thing everyday! Boring! No coconut milk soups, or curries, no guacamole, ceviche, things baked in a oven, just a mountain of white GMO rice daily! It's no wonder so many people here, have diabetes!
