1st day after it milk stock went up by 7 cents to $1.02,. it is now trading lower and as expected going for profit taking, so a win for the Kiasi and kaisue and those who hold out may win more after they have pay it due. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

For Eg: Chinamilk posted a 58% increased in profit and declared with no dividends to collect but px shot up by 9 cent to test $1.04 before settleling at $1.02 to sort of to catch shortise who is aware no dividends is declared so is a good time to let go for Kiasi & kiasue type and for greed they will still hold out for more let see what happen next. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The market always looks ahead, often six months or more. That means a stock's price will often reflect fundamental weakness several months before it starts to occur. If your stock starts to fall, you don't want to get caught rationalizing. Everything may look great on the surface at that moment. But the forward-looking nature of the market means a stock with sparkling ratings and a seemingly bulletproof profile may be headed for trouble. |

Investors should buy stocks based on both fundamental and technical strength.
But when it comes to selling a stock, you must find your way on the technicals alone. A stock's fundamentals will often appear to be in good shape several months after the stock has started to show weakness, hit its peak and rolled over. Which technical warnings can you use to alert you when it's time to sell? Watch out for new highs on weak volume. Sharp downward reversals are a bad sign. A stock that makes its biggest decline since its breakout or slashes through a key support level like the 50-day moving average in heavy volume is also a prime sell candidate. |

Besides selling when your profit or price target is reached, you should also sell when any of the following rules are met. Deciding to sell a stock can be a hard task, but these research-based rules should guide investors to better choices.

hi lampard... you might want to try Larry Williams or Martin J. Pring if you're serious about looking for TA books. The books can be pretty expensive though. You can go to Amazon to check out their prices. |

When to sell - Suggest you read Prof. Sebastian Chong's website (Retired NUS Assoc. Professor in Accountancy). His book "Value Investing" is a good one! http://www.finanfolysis.com/ |

Discipline is a must when you trade - the moment you've bought your 'goods' you should already clearly know when to sell! Like Eddie said 'get out when everyone is on the warpath; Don't be greedy, just take enogh of good food and you could always return the next time for another good round." Very good advice - 3 cheers !!! |

Hi jacsoh, The chart below shows the supports, resistances and trendlines for China Precision.
Trendlines do not predict levels of support and resistance. Support and resistance run horizontally; not at an angle. The lower line in a trend channel is often referred to as the supporting trendline. However the intersection of trendlines and horizontal lines provides approximate supports and resistances. For periods of 6 months or less, draw trendlines through the daily lows during an up-trend and through highs during a down-trend. On a long-term chart, trendlines drawn with closing price are more effective. Pls let me know if any of the images are not shown. |

TA is important when deciding when to buy or sell. But you must first identify the shares you want to buy. That I feel requires FA. If you want to have access to free charts, these are available at websites such as SGX, EQ and UOBKay Hian FOC (provided you have account with them). But TA is limited by the charts that are available and meaningful at these free sites e.g. volume, moving average, RSI and stochastics. OBV for example is of limited use if you don't have EMA. |

there are many websites that have TA educational info. Just type "technical analysis" and many wil come out. if you want to buy a book, go for books that are written by traders themselves. the book must talk about psychology because all the skills and knowledge you learn about investing will not work if you do not have the right mindset. |

Hi jacsoh,
When price makes a new high and then retreats, sellers who missed the previous peak will be inclined to sell when price returns to that level. Afraid of missing out a second time, they may enter the market in numbers sufficient to overwhelm buyers. The resulting correction will reinforce market perceptions that price is unlikely to move higher and establish a resistance level. The resistance level is stronger (major resistance) every time that price respects the resistance line and/or if high volumes are traded at the resistance level. A minor resistance is one where there's a bit of resistance and the price may rise further on subsequent attempts. Three-month, 1-year and multi-year charts are useful for identifying support and resistance levels.
Likewise, shareholders who sell when price approaches a resistance level will be disappointed if price penetrates the level and continues to rise. They will be inclined to buy if price returns to near the support level, fearing that they may miss out a second time. The resistance level thus becomes entrenched as a support level.

The various responses below referring to technical analysis are all absolutely correct, in their own way. Most technical analysts (including myself) will use a slightly different methodology to trade the markets, however one thing good technical analysts have in common are rules around when to buy, when to sell, and some rules in between for when to take profits, or when to add more, based on indicators or weakness or strength. Where most traders screw up, is that they don't have a well tested methodology (ie rules, often used very strictly) nor do they have the right experience or psychology. In short this is what leads meany failed investors to cut short their winners and to ride their loosers. My advise to anyone who wants to be a succesful trader is to educate yourself on the merits of technical analysis - read lots of books, talk to successful traders, go to seminars and take the time to develop a methodology for trading which is based on proven results (via endless backtesting). For most people this is a 2-5 year apprenticeship. Yes, easier said than done. Like most things in life, there are no shortcuts, nor is it for everyone. But a successful technical analyst can make a lot of money, whether the market is rising or falling (but preferably not sideways!). I would also advise against trying to implement snippets of technical advice posted on this website on an individual basis - you need to take all the good advice posted here (such as that from Kee Jang below), do lots of reading, then implement a 'total package' approach that has been well back-tested.. |
