Your wellcome:

end of 2016 I bought (as my one and only deliberate speculative) stock CSGN (Credit Suisse bank) for ca. 60000 SGD worth hoping that after that longterm downward trend before, over a decade, the stock soon would recover. I sacked in some nice dividends, but for sure the stock also in the course of Covid still dropped more, I lost probably 32% stock value (at least 15000 SGD worth loss I guess) when I finally lost patience and sold.

Take home messages:

-don't enter into deliberate speculative turn around stock trades

-don't buy single stocks, but ETFs

-don't buy bank sector stocks (strained sector, particularly now during Covid Wave 2.0)

bye bye, happy & successful investing
