Anyone can share please? Suppose all the directors all of a company know its business very well? the question in my mind is any restriction or criteria they needed to fulfill before buying or selling its company share? | ||

Made 4K, fined 35K. Lousy adviser, thinking the authority won't come after small amount. | ||

yuppers, stupidfool. not necessary to trade everyday or frequently.  it all depends on one's timeframe and aim.
so elfie's back from her hols. for those lkg for clues. update on local market as per STI charts below. Note that we're still in a range play with channel bias being down. Break of 2,835 for upward or 2,640 for renewed downward. o/w, it's as per the charts below. Vol is drying up, so traders need to be careful. Don't fish in a drying pond if possible. Not worth the risk. Note 2: do not try and predict the bottom. What is more pertinent to do is to wait for the signal. That'd be one doji (or better yet, a hammer with a long tail) plus 2 or 3 green candles consecutively, with increasing volume. That's the earliest sign of a turn. o/w, to treat all things as channel play still. cheers.

Watever it is,be it vol or price,one do not need to buy,buy buy or sell ,sell sell everyday. Trading is akin to gambling actually.And how many gamblers win the casino at the end of the day? |

No sensible person will play a thinly traded stock... One must always choose stock with regular volumes, a liquid stock, which is popular with traders... Only thus can one concentrate on price action... And studying price action itself is simple, but is a very involved process...

Besides price movement, it is also important to take note of volumes. Volume = Interest No point buying a stock if there is no interest in it. |

This is specially for novices... The most common cause of big losses in the stock market is the overwhelming urge to make money. With this underlying strong urge, many will lose their otherwise good judgement and reasoning. This invariably lead to actions like averaging down (which is an uncounsciously combative motive to get back at the market), resulting in bigger and bigger losses. Other reasons are: Using 'TA' indicators as though the stock market is a mechanical entity. Unfortunately, such indicators, though all of which are undeniably very scientific formulae, are useless against an entity such as the stock market, which is in reality an unpredictable entity composed entirely of human actions. With regard to TA, it is important to remember the simpler TA one uses, the better. In the stock market, the most important TA indicator is the price action itself. But even this is oftentimes deceptive! So do beware of the 'beastly' urge to make money... In other words, beware of yourself!...

i think there are china ETFs here? not sure. ok, anyway, byebye peeps. elfie's off for her holidays!  meanwhile, if market moves and you're unsure, don't take any longterm position; better to stay lightfooted. volume is key; don't trust a rise on low vol. As ipunter will say, not having a position is also a position. cheers! |

Unfortunately, still need the fund managers for overseas investment. Like buying into India, China etc, we need to buy unit trusts, otherwise, no way we can get in. Not sure if eTrade has that? Anyone knows how to buy China without buying unit trusts? I hate unit trusts as well. They all can't perform at all! Very slow during a bull. High overheads! |

completely agree. why they give these fund managers their money: because they think the managers--armed with shiny Ivy League degrees and polish--know more about the market than they do. I like the quote in Peanuts today. "Never trust a coyote in a tuxedo." We should look at all fund managers with All together now....
haha.
