Your position size should be determined only by

    how much you can afford to lose per trade.

      And also how much you can afford to lose if

                you blow your whole account in time...

No point to play small...

    If one plays too small, it is hard to earn

          enough even for the commission.

          This is another reason why newbies

                        should be playing only one stock...

Nope. It's not a matter of playing big or small,

    since big or small is only a realtive idea.

        More importantly, trading skill does not

              come overnight to anyone. For newbies,

                    just like jugglers, they must learn to juggle

                          with two balls before they can handle 10.

                                  Only when one can profit with one stock

                                          should one even think of playing with more.

                          But of course if newbies want to make a

                                                        lot of money, they can play many stocks...   

 

And pay less tuition fee

For newbie traders, it is advisable to play only

  one or at most two stocks, ideally just one stock.

      In this way, trading skill will be improved in time.

              But of course those who want to make a lot of

                  money can play many counters...

 

haha.. what.. I said I slowly collect mah. Hmm. I also don't know what is the best price to buy... just buy a bit here and there. Amount that I can manage to juggle through some fluctuations till the cow comes home.

but of course not anyhow whack any high high price lah... given the current situation.
