Calin Goia, Voltaj frontman and a five-year investor on the Stock Exchange, says that stock investments take time, keeping informed and involvement, and advises investors not to let their portfolios exclusively in brokers' hands. Voltaj leader started his investor career in 2005 with a sum of 10,000 euros, making investments in "simple" stocks such as SIFs or banking stocks. With the first gains, the invested sum grew, with the artist managing to get the biggest return of 50% during the 2005-2008 interval. Then the crisis and disagreement with his broker came. "(...) After the unfortunate experience I had with my broker, my advice for beginners is to hold control over deals when investing. If they lack time and don't gather information about market trends, they'd better take their money to a bank. Another aspect is the strategy: I bet on a longer-term strategy and have not had too much to gain," the artist explained. Slightly disappointed about his first contact with a broker, Calin Goia confesses he has not lost confidence in the capital market, but is waiting the moment to make a decision about what to do with the over 10,000-euro portfolio he has on the Stock Exchange.
