true.....  a master once told me......

"sometimes we only see the things that we want to see"

Exactly... you are so right.

Thus, realising the market is not subject to our calls, but is the other way round,

we need to develop an totally unbiased appraoch to tackle the unpredictable beastly thing.

Unless we are happy to ride lengthy roller coasters, this has to be the best way for a compromise of sorts..

if we can't trust even ourselves, how then do we trade? what and how do we make a decision to either buy, sell or hold?

PS: not challenging you, and no bad intentions from me, but just trying to learn more about trading.....

thanks!

i am still a noob in this...... hopefully i am right, still learning....

Good defensive action...

    Way to trade...

to add on......

CFD = Contract For Difference

from wiki....  In finance, a contract for difference (or CFD) is a contract between two parties, typically described as "buyer" and "seller", stipulating that the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the current value of an asset and its value at contract time. (If the difference is negative, then the buyer pays instead to the seller.) In effect CFDs are financial derivatives that allow investors to take advantage of prices moving up (long positions) or prices moving down (short positions) on underlying financial instruments and are often used to speculate on those markets.

For example, when applied to equities, such a contract is an equity derivative that allows investors to speculate on share price movements, without the need for ownership of the underlying shares.

In summary, when you play CFDs, you are playing the price movement of the share. Hence, you do not 'own' the share and you only pay 10-20% of the value of the share when you purchase a CFD.

For example, a CFD of 1,000 shares of genting at $2 will cost you 20% x 1,000 x $2 =  $400 (before commission and daily finance charge)

For 'long' positions, there will be a daily finance charge. but for 'short' positions, there are some houses which do not charge daily finance charges

i do not encourage short as well.

singapore a stable market those short is reserved for US market.......
