8월30일 입이 트이는 영어 Investment Loss

Talk about a time when you lost money while investing.

For a while, I was big on the stock market. I used a multi-pronged approach. I tried both short-term trading and long -term funds. I soaked up advice like a sponge. I tried things that bank employees recommended. I discussed the ins and outs of the market with my friends. I also did my homework, reading books and taking online classes. However, I couldn't earn a return on my investment. At times, the losses were quite sizeable. The biggest problem was that stock trading is all-consuming. I kept getting side-tracked at work as I checked the stock prices. I couldn't focus on my day job. I eventually had to give it up. Stock trading just wasn't my forte.
