They should take it like words from the original 'Amercian Idol' judges, who really meant to be constructive. There's no room to be personal in the stock market. hehehe...

I have a friend who CFD in 2007......loss big time.  So he when to acc. stock in 2008......even bigger time.  Then come 2009.....start sell in late March......unthinkable.....really.

After Lehman, it is a very different arena......

If you are here long enough........many are long gone.  Singporegirl are you still here.....a super chartist.

You should evaluate your investment strategy.

You could be using the wrong strategy for the wrong type of trade you want to do.

There are short-term trading strategies, mid-term trading strategies, long-term investment strategies and shorting strategies.

Before you start trading in any stocks, you should already know which strategy you want to use.

Never choose a stock that is good from shorting and use a long-term investment strategy on that stock. This is a sure way to get killed in the stock market.

I disagree with this.

Going long is much easier than playing short.

If he cannot make money by going long, how can he be making money from shorting?

I think his strategy for trading and investing is wrong.

Or he is too emotionally involved in the stocks he's trading. Hold when his is suppose to sell and sell when he is suppose to be buying.

The biggest mistakes in investing is trading without strategy and trading with emotion.

I love to see Ho Chin to become CEO of  SGX.  For a change., a lady to head SGX. 

Those GCE 'A' level students tomorrow after taking your results, you may apply online to be SGX scholar .

Ah right! Shorting rule is only preventing the small guy from making too much money shorting in a downtrend or even uptrend.

The brokerages and banks can hide their smiles just borrowing from their own pool which they sometimes lend to you.

Because you invest.  Invest means buy and keep or long.  You need money and must have money to invest.  You must be a rich guy. The market needs your money.

You gamble when you short.  You don't need to be a rich guy to short. Shorting no need base capital (pen_qian).  If your trading limit allows, you can even short a million dollars, and a player not easy to find a million to pay for the shares you sold to them. Analysing this logic you find that shorting is better.
