The stress of buying shares for the first time

AS an unemployed school leaver with absolutely nothing to do and exhausted by a schoolies of endless shopping, I've spent the last week in front of the computer catching up on Ellen and Taylor Swift on youtube. And whilst they are ridiculously hilarous (especially the Zac and Taylor 'sing a duet' ep!!) I thought maybe it's time to take my parents' advice and 'enrich myself' in areas other than 'Haylor' and trashy celebrity gossip.  

My solution: Watching the sharemarket.

And I cannot believe my seriously bad luck.

Right now, as I write, the one company I've invested in since yesterday, is plummeting. I know it's the sharemarket, it's unpredictable, it's volatile and I totally should have expected it. But when every other stock on my watchlist, which I've been researching and following for weeks, has risen by almost a dollar in a day.. what is my luck?!!!! So here's my dilemma. Yesterday, the day I had enough money to start buying shares, my watchlist-shares started sky rocketing, so I thought seeing as they're on a high, they'll probably fall again. But they must have escaped my curse..Instead I thought I'll look for another share with a reputable company that's dropped a bit and.. Goodness, it's fallen again! It's like watching money slip right through your fingers into some muddy gutter. And for a first time buyer this is not a promising sign!

And now that I've started ranting about my lack of luck, this brings me to a week or so ago, when Taylor Swift was in Australia to promote 'Red'. I was hanging out in the city and I'd just checked my Taylor Twitter feeds, she was presumably sleeping in her hotel, so I went to get lunch in the shopping centre. And guess who happened to walk outside the mall? And yes I missed it.  

These shares just keep on sliding! What is this!!!!

But now that we've just past 12:12 pm on 12/12/2012, and I'm still typing and my heart is still beating and Ellen is airing on tv, I guess I'll just have to thank my lucky stars for now...
And hopefully my luck will turn in one week when ATARs come out! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
