x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Crashes doesn't come suddenly. In the crash of 1929, the market becomes volatile since July, but the real crash starts in Oct. In the crash of 2008, the market has been volatile since Dec 2007, but the real crash comes in Sept after Lehman Brothers files for bankruptcy. Now, the market has been volatile since mid Jul...

For all Traders, the only thing you can do now is Short, but Don't Short Gold. If the market is going to crash, it would this month. Watch out for Greece Debt Issue. If Greece Defaults, I believe that would be the trigger for the crash. For now, depending what you are doing, you should position yourself for the worst. The pressure is reaching a tipping point. I feel it, can you feel it?

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	That is one factor that I am pondering over too. The news of crash is out for some time, infact the market could be already priced in for the crash. People already expected the worst, if bad news comes out, there might be a drop but not a major drop like the past recessions, but if the news turn good, the bull might be raging up like never before. Nonetheless, just be safe and trade carefully.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	An Ostrich mentality is the worst thing to have in the stock market.       It is wiser to be saving one's money from vanishing into thin air.           A crash in stages is more worrying than a sudden vertical tumble...                         A severe downtrend is itself indicative of an unpromising situation...

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Somehow I do agree, I notice from the list of counters I was monitoring, even tho it went down at start, I saw a slow climb upwards whenever there is a pause in the market direction. Not so sure about this but it seems that people is starting to get tempted to long their preferred counters at this point. No call whatsoever, but I gonna give the market more attention this few days. Trade carefully and good luck. alexchia01      ( Date: 03-Oct-2011 16:31) Posted: SGX has not much counters to short already. I've been shorting Hong Kong Banks since mid Sep and today add another shorting position to them. Right now, sitting on a pretty good profits, over 25% gain. Tonight, I'm shorting the US Banks, if the market permits of course. Isolator      ( Date: 03-Oct-2011 16:23) Posted: Just be prepared for another selldown tmr..... Look for counters to shorts... lol

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	When your stop-loss is triggered and you don't want to cut your losses, so you come up with reasons that you not in urgent need of money, so you just hold. With this kind of mentality, you better don't trade stocks lah. Stop-Loss is there for a reason. It's the breaks to prevent you from falling into the pit. Now, because the fear of pain, you remove the breaks, hoping that after hitting the bottom of the pit, you can survive and slowly climb out of the pit. Let me ask you this question. Do you think it's less painful to step on the breaks and jump car before the fall or hitting the rock bottom and slowly climb yourself out of the pit? tensai_jin      ( Date: 03-Oct-2011 09:46) Posted: Hi all masters, just a qn from a newbie. With current market sentiments, when is holding on to losses better than cutting loss? Common advice is to set stop loss, but I am not in urgent need of $ anytime soon this or next year so is it better to just hold and wait for brighter days? My main holdings are companies like goldenagri, pec and cambridge which are more " stable" . (hopefully) I know that the market is unpredictable and can just destroy everything in a day or week, just wanted some thoughts on holding vs cutting loss.
