one big mistake and they'll get wiped out and never look at the stock market again... been there done that....."

I have been on the market for only 2 years in a serious way. I started buying since 2009 but the fund was very small and I didn't bother about the market until 2013...because as you know..stock market is something ..neither our grand parents have participated with or our people-in-law or our friend or their families..I can pretty much say..that you and I are the one of the fewest people in this business..trying to learn and I can tell why..Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world and we just don't know what it means to be not poor. As most people are herds.we are no different. So, whoever are participating..kudos to you..and as I've always said..young people should start learning early..why..it's better to learn Paplu, flash, marriage or whatever else is there..early in your life than later..so you become proficient without losing much..just like Messi..started palying so early and he's scoring like crazy

So I don't know much about how people exactly went through in 2008/2009..but I have read about the people who crashed the financial market..Micheal burry comes to mind.
