I think double-dip is not possible, all country government also don't allow the double-dip recession occur. we also maybe underestimate the American economy self-recovered function.don't forget china market, the government is incenting the internal expense, I know there are many infrastructure ongoing which include railway,high speed railway, airport etc. even expanding rural country, china is marching in a way which you can't imagine.china increament will bring asia market recover, hi guys, don't worry too much , just join in the bull market, maximum your profit! otherwise you will regret that you miss a chance which maybe change your life. |

I heard something very interesteing from the Radio 938.5, he talked about financial advisors, they always say market is bullish but there is a chance of downside. So I pretend to be a financial advisor here, The bull market continues as the sentiments in US are improving but there is a chance of double dip. Useful huh? We must prepare for another meltdown which will happen one day (yes if you project it for another 1000 years I can guarantee there will be one serious meltdonw)... Simply my dear financial advisors, please tell us within what timeframe the bull market will be there and whithin which timeframe the bear will be there and not say stupid things like it may happen. If you quote like that, my little 3 years old can also be a financial advisor. Have a good day tomorrow think before you advise your clients tomorrow. Cheers. |

Actually in my humble opinion you need both TA and FA, get to know your FA first, wait for the TA and then strike. If you think FA for a company is so good then you may want to ignore TA and go for what you know, conversely the folks are all thinking so negatively about the market, then you get out when the TA is pointing to bear, dont care about the FA for the companies you think you know so much. The third A you need is RA, which is a risk assessment. There is no right or wrong, good or bad, it is a holistic approach. | ||||

Hahah... I beg to differ, As a gentleman, I shall not argue with un-gentlewoman who are stubborn. Just wondering who is stubborn, I just think it is the pot tat calls the kettle black. Nah...nah,,,nah... TA is not fantastic, not miracle hocus-pocus crystal ball prediction, is not infallible, so TA cant make sure sti will reach 3000...and dow 10000.. just as I think your views may be right n may also be wrong as we are all mere mortals unless u have that supernatural divine powers. So since u have divine supernatural powers, u make sure sti 1000 n dow 3800, but alas u may be also right by sheer luck as it is 50/50 chance.

Since cheongwee said TA is lousy, read below from some well-known analyst on why TA is not lousy: How to Grab Significant Short-Term Profits From Technical Trading by Mark Skousen, Advisory Panelist
"The overwhelming majority of economic theories, market forecasts, trading strategies, investment systems, hot tips and sure-fire speculations never pan out." ~ Alexander Green In the August 14 Investment U issue - "Why Most Investment Systems Simply Don't Work" - Alexander Green urged you to stick with the tried-and-true method of fundamental analysis. He did so using this mantra: "There is only one thing that dictates where a stock will go: earnings." I agree that earnings are the ultimate determinant of stock prices in the long run. But that's not the only way to gauge where a stock is headed next. I firmly believe that technical analysis - volume, trading patterns and historical trends - can enhance your returns tremendously and can keep you out of trouble in many cases. Here's why... How an Earnings-Based Investment Model Crippled Bank of America Buyers The problem with taking a straight earnings approach to investing is that stock prices aren't determined by current or past earnings, but by future earnings in relation to the current price. Throughout the past decade, for example, earnings looked great for Bank of America (NYSE: BAC). In June 2008, it earned a record $3 billion. You'd have made a bundle of money investing in BAC during the new millennium. Factoring in rising dividends, stock splits and share price appreciation, you'd have tripled your money. But over the next year, Bank of America's earnings plummeted, and by the end of 2008 it had lost $2.3 billion. The stock followed, collapsing from $50 to under $3 a share, wiping out all of the previous eight years' worth of profits (although the stock has since rebounded to $17 a share). By time the bank announced a sharp drop in earnings, the price was way down - and investors who bought based on earnings had lost their shirts. So how does one anticipate an earnings collapse like that? Use Technical Analysis to Prevent Pain - And Profit Needless to say, sound economic analysis doesn't hurt. Many economists (including our own Alex Green) predicted a real estate collapse and the subsequent financial trouble. But using technical and historical trend analysis can also prove extremely helpful in improving your investment results. For example, many technical analysts have fared extremely well over the past decade (and more), using chart patterns, volume and historical trends. And investors like Bert Dohmen, Jim Dines and Dennis Slothower profited from major trends in commodities, stocks and foreign currency, while avoiding most of the financial crises in 2008, because they used an advanced version of technical analysis. Here are two other simple tools that have proven very effective...
If you used these two technical tools together, you'd have got out the stock market in October 2007 and not re-entered until April this year - without being whipsawed back into the market. Not bad. Chart: http://www.investmentu.com/ Gauging Investor Sentiment... Tech-Style Put simply, technical analysis isn't a crystal ball, but it's a good way to measure the psychology of the market. When new highs and new lows are at all-time highs, it suggests a strong bullish trend. Conversely, if the indicator is at an all-time low, it signals incredible pessimism. The new highs/new lows indicator gave a sell signal in October 2007 and a buy signal in April 2009 it's still bullish. According to the chart, the market is headed higher, so investors should consider several choices... Of course, technical traders use a variety of ratios, indicators and charting patterns to make their buying and selling decisions. Their systems are never perfect because human action is not always predictable, but human behavior and the herd instincts are sometimes quite apparent and experienced traders can make a great deal of money and avoid the worst of bear markets. Good trading - AEIOU, Mark Skousen

Are women of today not keen on starting a family? What would be more important in your life? A great career or a family. Just curious. Yes, I agree women today are more educated and more independent
