Acerca de Mí

¡Hola! My name is Andrés Costolani. Of course, this is not my real name. Who am I? Who cares?

I'm 27 years old now but I don't achieve anything. Even I got a degree, I don't have any achievement. Let introduce more about myself. I born in 1981 in China and moved to Hong Kong in 1989. Then I was growing and studying in Hong Kong.

During 2003-04, I'd a chance to visit the Czech Republic. I worked as a student intern in a software house as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer. That was a wonderful experience. I met many friends. Some of them we keep contact still. Besides my placement, I travelled around Europe. I went to Austria, Slovakia, England, Holland, Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland. So great! I enjoyed much during my travels. If possible, I want to revisit Europe again!

In 2005, I graduated and received a bachelor degree of Computing. Afterwards, I worked as a Software Engineer in a local operator, NovaComm, about one and half year. Then I moved to Sakai Group as a Senior Programmer for another year.

In September 2007, I resigned and had two-week non-paid holiday. I then joined Zurida as a Trainee of Financial Planner. However, my personal characteristics don't fit for the job of financial planning. I resigned again after three-week training.

Likely, I found a job immediately. That was a Marketing Executive at Ondra Solutions. In the beginning, I quite liked the job nature. It was a new area for me. I'm a technical man and I didn't explore much in the business. It was my first time. However, the boss, Mr. Villa, is a demanding man. He gave me lots of pressure and his ideas were changeable very fast. Thus, I couldn't survive under his management. I quitted before the Lunar New Year.

Very soon then I entered my current company, Gracias Kapital, as an IT Officer. Back to IT. I'm performing coding, production supports and other IT-related tasks. I feel more comfortable.

This is my brief introduction about myself.

My first investment was on 21 August 2006. That day I bought Bank of Communications (3328.HK). Afterwards, I bought many other stocks. I earned before mid-August 2007 but I lost after November 2007.

I tried to figure out why I could continue to gain. However, I don't know why. I just know that I was over-sold on 17 August 2007 and I was over-bought during 31 October and 1 November 2007. These days made me changed from the heaven to the hell. Why I did that? I don't know still. One reason may be my insufficient experience on the stock market. Another reason is that I can't stay calm down during the exciting moments. Thus I failed on the stock market.

Starting loss but I don't cut loss so my money is escaping me very soon. On 31 October 2007, I'd +15.14% gain but I buy more shares that day. Unfortunately, my decision was wrong. My portfolio was recorded -5.11% at the end of November 2007. Continually, my NAV was squeezed to -11.44%, -26.17% and -22.73% in December 2007, January and February 2008. The worst thing is now – I'm losing -29.44% now (07 March 2008)! Why I didn't stop earn and cut loss? Horrible!

I've to figure out my failures and search a key to succeed; otherwise, I'll be dry out! This is the reason why I write here.
