Your remisier should have told you SIA is a good stock. Did he tell you that?
If your remisier is lousy, he/she would have recommended cheap S chips to buy and not SIA. You should take this opportunity to read up on the past results/dividends of SIA, then you come and tell us whether your remisier is lousy.
Because at that time when your remisier ask you to buy at $14.70, whether you buy any other stock, at least 95% of the stock in the market would be lower than what you bought initially.
He did say SIA is good stock and he convinced me it is a good dividend stock. True most stocks plunged but SIA plunged 30percent while stocks like Starhub just dropped slightly. Of coz I should have did background checks but hey I was still new. Didn't know where to look... I actually didn't say he was lousy but I realized now I must rely on my own analysis.
