x 1   x 1  Alert Admin	Hi ten4one, Actually I believe that the stock market is always right. Its the lay investors like us who are always wrong and barking up the wrong tree. Thats why I use more TA than FA in making my decisions because TA sort of tells us what the market is "thinking". Once we know that, we can make plans to follow when the wind changes direction

'Cos they've strong roots and trunks. Sorry Mam, I don't know the names of fallen trees or their groupings. But nevertheless, I've a good criteria if you intend to plant ones - choose the one with strong root and good trunk! Maybe the Tree&Park Director should also take notes hahahaha....!

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	The Stock Market is always wrong, so if you follow everybody else on the Market, you're surely to do poorly. Therefore, sell when everyone buy and vice versa. Always look for a sudden change in the Stock Market. If you've identified one go for it before it becomes too 'loud' (ie when you'll look for the right opportunity to get out)! Remember the bias of investors toward a stock, whether +ve or -ve, causes the px to rise and fall - once you know what the Market is thinking, go the other way. The Market, more often than not, always overreact (just like what's happening now)! Come sway with me on top of the Banyan Tree. Most trees have already fallen and this Banyan Tree is still firmly rooted after going thru all the natural disasters! It is not really cheap though; but then again good things don't come cheap! Remember this BRAND!

x 4   x 2  Alert Admin	In response to the hugely popular "When to SELL??" rules, I've decided to start a new thread on "When to BUY??" It's not an easy decision. So when should we buy? 1. Concentrate on strong industries and sectors.   Nearly half of a stock's advance can be tied to a move by its industry or sector.     2. Look for strong profit growth.   Specifically, look for quarterly earnings per share growth of at least 25% plus high annual EPS growth.     3. Seek top fundamentals.   Besides earnings, key factors to watch are sales growth, profit margins and return on equity.     4. Watch for strong price action.   A stock should be a leader in terms of price strength vs. the overall market.     5. Prefer stocks at or near new price highs.   In a healthy market, stocks at new highs tend to go even higher.     6. Pick companies with new products or services.   Groundbreaking products or favorable changes in industry conditions are seeds of winning stocks.     7. Watch for companies with increasing institutional sponsorship.   Nothing compares to the buying power of institutions.     8. Avoid low-priced stocks.   Quality stocks trade at a premium.     9. Prefer companies with management ownership of stock.   Owning company stock gives executives extra incentive.     10. Buy only when the stock market is trending higher.   Forget about buying on weakness. A market downturn puts overwhelming pressure on stocks.     11. Buy when there's panic selling.   Rules 8 and 10 may be disregarded if low-priced stocks have fallen drastically for 1-2 weeks without a big change in fundamentals. A market downturn doesn't continue unabated. There will be some rebounds and it has to end sometime. Make some money during the rebounds.
