It is always hard to tell if you have right investments not unless if you stick to the known coins. And being the intelligent investor would mean not losing your money. The question is how can you not lose your money when investing on unknown coins? For me it is a matter of a gamble. And being intelligent investor does not always end up so easy. Experiences would be a good foundation to become an intelligent investor and not just by purely reading details. It is always easy to say things than do it..
