huh, godpa, if i'm not aiding you now, then what is it i've been giving you and bunnie via email for the past few months man.....anyhow, like i said, timing matters a lot in the market. btw, jerome, baseerahmed etc. if you're interested in following the trend (ie, to pennies), then could perhaps look at the pennies that victorian is digging up. engkong, and ptcl (go to those threads). now i haven't assessed ptcl's techs yet, but engkong is my pick tho: his FA corroborates with the TA pic i've analysed. and it's falling into the tech range i called. so far, so good. fyi, for those scalping swing trades on sapphire: be careful. small buy ups, large sell downs in the morning. trade of 9000+ lots, 2500, 4000, 1000 sell downs in morning first hrs at 3c. update for those unable to see sgx/poems data: 194 gainers vs 402 losers, 2744 unchanged. STI abt -42pts at 3356, sesdaq at 209.11, +0.51 k, byes. elf is sick yet again. sigh. :( bunnie. wail. :( |

hm jerome, update the list a bit (pls note tho that i'm not doing pure ta trades--the traditional indicators--for htese few mths; still think upside not worth the risk taken): take out the china stocks (not worth the risk; plus price already factored in year's increase). take out longcheer and jurtech. consider taking out wingtai etc higher costing ones--qn of value per dollar invested. csm has lost sensitivity to indicators as well. maintain still tho that the money left at this end of the bull cycle is in the pennies. that's what i mean, follow the trend. scan through sesdaq. if you follow the papers; STI up 13%, but sesdaq is up 45%. choose your pennies well tho; and don't expect to use a/d, c/o etc on them. and be careful that once pennies crash, they'll take years to recover. so it's all abt risk/reward ratio for yourself, and your own appetite for risk. I'll admit that i'm a rather high risk taker, since my aim at this age is capital growth, not capital preservation. It necessarily means i take greater risks than someone who's say, looking for 10% growth pa. my advice is just that, just another opinion on this forum--do make up your own minds, and never take what i say as the be-all and end-all. i might be absolutely wrong. and rem too that it isn't just a qn of picking the so-called right stocks, but also timing. That's a crucial factor. |

Sorry to butt in Geojam, i tend to not be able to join in the conversations as this is a very fast moving thread and i simply do not have the time to log in constantly. but i think you are just being humble. Your experience in life is something which the younger ones like us have to go through before we can attain it. Thus you are already 'richer' than us. We can definitely learn more from you as you learn from us. After all isn't this what education is about? lifelong learning |

(cont from previous thread): b) i & ii) you need to find my previous post from sometime in dec for the rough list of stocks. pls note tho that they're not exhaustive. since for me, i prefer to specialise in the 80c to abt $2 range. there are many stocks above that price that are TA-able tho. and yes, crucially, the list always changes. it's what i posted sometime back about always check your stocks to see that they are still responsive to the indicators you use, rem? iii) yep. at that time, when i said TA-able, i meant obedient to the indicators you listed. do be very careful in this current market tho; likely you'll find the stocks moving faster than the indicators; or not as responsive. it is really more volatile than most people think. partly 'cos of this and also 'cos i'm very busy with work, that's why i've swapped for longer term holdings (ie, FA basis, use TA to call entrance/exit). since don't have the time for close monitoring required for momentum. scalped enough pure TA trades for the year alr. hope this helps. apologies if it sounds confusing and nothing's concrete; must realise that just as the market is a dynamic, fluid place, so too, investors have to be equally fluid. Never make the mistake of thinking targets are set in stone. All techs change as the macro trend changes. Rem that. my key pt is the same: follow the trend. that's the best advice i can give. nites, hope it's useful! |

ok baseerahmed: firstly, you must realise that elf does not do by fixed TA method/indicators. I essentially take via stock first, then decide what method to use. And i take into account the general macro trend as well. Eg, in abt dec to early feb, fabulous for normal TA trades (a/d, c/o etc), since it was stable enough. but market got too irrational/volatile, which is why i swapped to FA+TA on mainly pennies (note, not just any penny, but only solid ones with real FA credentials), and the tech tools change accordingly. Coupled with value plays, like what i noted last week on this thread i think--this is the time for momentum scalping as well, since it's so volatile. again, the tech tools you use for these are different. as for your qns: note that there are no fixed answers to them, since a lot will depend on your trading time frame and goals as well. ai) generally at least 3 days. longer if i'm tracking as a value play/deducing BB movement. ii) no. i don't always watch the bu/sd. again, it entirely depends on what i'm trading the stock for. wld advise watching bu/sd during this volatile mth tho. iii) eh. this entirely depends on what tools you like best/respond best to your stocks. some stocks are insensitive to practically all indicators. alt, that if you're a day trader (for eg), then a/d, c/o etc will mean nothing much to you. iv & v) sorry, i don't use poems charts. i only use SJ charts. poems i use solely for the bu/sd which is day specific. (what charts does poems have??) |

haha, yes asterisk. i think dorian gray is an absolutely poisonous book too. but such sweet poison, ain't it? love the language there. yup to the aesthetics of it all too. it's the idolism of beauty and perfection. incidentally, mishima committed hara kiri, did you know? and yea, heartbreaking work of staggering genius. like, geez, man. that book reads like an acid trip or something. hey, that means you're free now eh? good. go help my bro victorian dig through sweet potatoes. haha. i'm sleepless. sigh. tmrw still gotta work. wail....baseerahmed, hang on; i'm separating yr qns from asterisk's post so that it's clearer. |

elfinchilde : I wonder if u could find some free time in between ur heavy schedule next month to clear some of my doubts on ur TA : A) (i) How many day's AD and CO do u watch to confirm if it is uptrending .....(ii) for those day's .....do u also watch the buy up and sell down or do u watch the bu/sd from the day u confirm it is uptrending .....(iii) is it a must to watch both the bu/sd and AD, CO, bollies ,etc..... ( iv ) The graph shown on poems shows ' very microscopic ' increment ,say for 3 or 4 days ....how do u read them as uptrending or down trending ? (v) can u give an example(counter) so that I can see it in the poems charts? B) You had mentioned sometime back that out of all the sgx listed stocks, only 50 or so counters are TA-able . ( i ) What are those counters ( ii ) does this list always change ( get dropped and added ) as time goes by or are they fixed becos of FA . ( iii ) when u say TA-able do u mean they obey your indicators : AD, CO, Bollie , RSI , Williams .. ... sorry if long list of doubts ... ...can post at ur convenience . .. |

oh yea, and listen well to godpa. he's certainly someone to respect. ;) and yes, i did read mishima before. but that was some time ago in my teens/early twenties. his books can be a little heavy, dense as they are on imagery and obliqueness. Yep, he has a trilogy, but one of his classics is confessions of a mask. gotta warn ya tho, it's homoerotic undertones. japanese culture. you're livelier by nature tho. go read Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. One of my favourite books. Try Ghostwritten, too. By David Mitchell. Elf tends to prefer the more meditative, sadder books tho. you might not like them. oh, and have you ever read the original fairy tales by hans christian andersen, and not the sanitised disney versions? very beautiful language in them. :) k, gonna go off and zzz. falling sick again. *sigh* good luck for your last paper(s)! |
