    I have so many I dont want to talk about because it spoils the mood. I lost big money in Bharti Shipyard, Kingfisher, DHFL and so many other worthless stocks. Learning experience not sure because I am still making many mistakes :( I am also making mistakes of selling too early like Kwality I sold after one year of patient wait. It shooted up after I sold :( If I had not made so many mistakes I would be millionaire today :)

    as a momento... :D:) liked tht one.
    your losses seems to be quite big. dont take it as a failure. we investors always are students and commits mistakes many a times.book ur losses and move on. you can reduce your income tax liability by booking losses.

    LOL. But they must be cluttering portfolio and distracting. How you deal with that?

    I havnt made any major loss in equity cash segment till now.

    I made huge losses in futures trading. Some of them were super huge. Futures trading is very risky. Be careful my dear friends.

    they're a reminder of the mistakes we made and a lesson, we got KS Oils across all our accounts. Even my brother has it, he sold his other picks like Hero Motors and kept KS Oils :p

    It is not quoted now :( It was blue chip at one time with Deccan Chronicle newspaper doing well. But Venkat Reddy bough IPL team Deccan Chargers and aircraft also and lost lot of money. There was big scam committed and Reddy went to jail also. Banks also lost lot of money in scam.

    My biggest booked loss in Futures was 2.5 lakhs. Have booked 1-2 lakh losses many times. But its ok. I even made quite some money from futures.

    If you want to learn futures its ok but my sincere advice would be to stick to cash segment delivery based portfolio system. Its safe and much more sure. Also you can play small bets. In futures the amount on stake is huge. Profit and loss both can be huge.

    Parin were you writing options?

    Derivatives is a "haram" for me.

    I was not too much into options. Whatever little options i did was mainly buying puts and calls. I was mainly into futures.

    Why is derivatives haraam for you?
