Equity Investing - Lessons are always learned

It's been ages since I've updated this blog. Gone through market crisis that shook the world, read investment books, read more about how Buffet did it, traded here and there. 2009-2010 passed by and I dubbed it as my age of awareness in the financial markets.

For two years, I managed to maintain a healthy portfolio and was able to re-invest some of my profits in real estate and trust funds. Still 60% of my investments is in equities and I don't plan to make any changes. You learn as you watch and trade the market everyday.
