...all I can say to the newbies is that grow your brain before you try to grow your portfolio.
Good advice, but i believe newbies will be just like you, only after experiencing bitter loss of money will they realize that new knowledge is the first thing required in this market before you want to grow or earn money in the market. I myself used to be like that, didn't listen to anyone's advice, just followed what I thought and only when I really lost did I realize that everyone's advice is correct word for word. That's why I have very little advice for newbies, I also want them to experience to have the most authentic view of the market, I think there is no better free lesson than a paid lesson.
