Re: Ethics of buying/selling alcohol companies
You can place trades before the opening bell as well once trading commences. Opportunities arise through the day: news on the wire, rumors, twitter feeds, data mining feeds, looking for specific trading patterns whether it be equities, fx, options or commodities.
I tend to have a greater appetite for risk then some investors. I purchased about 1.7 million shares in RBS - a UK based bank that had to be bailed out by the UK taxpayer during the credit crunch. The UK government will soon be selling its shares in RBS - so will I. On the downside, I’ve also got it wrong - I’ve made bad investments on the AIM here in the UK and lost a load of cash also.
To me it’s the best computer game in the world, I could do it all day everyday. This is the primary reason why I never went down the traditional asian route of becoming a doctor - I met all the grade requirements, had the extra curriculars etc. My father wanted me to go down this route, but I knew it wasn’t for me, I mean who wants to study for 6 years? I was making more money than most managers in businesses by the age of 20, so I knew this was the route for me, to do it for a living full time in an institution so to speak. Anyway, my dad is still under the impression that I never got accepted for med school, what he doesn’t know is that I never applied!
