Thus, it is much wiser for one to be a long-term trader...

 Rather than a long-term investor...   

In this kind of market play dividend? If your share price come down and loss is greater than your dividend, there is no meaning.

I hear this phrase too often " Buy and keep now" One of my friend said the same thing to me. The main idea is if you are at a loss, get back into profitability  faster in the future. If your loss gets bigger and bigger  and you still say," buy and keep", then when market recovers, others would be already making a profit OR clearing their loss faster, but you would still be in the process of recovering your loss...........

lookcc bro , 

Check with you , how do know the divvy payout amount for next year ? pls share , newbie here , thanks.  

Good game, got it at 1618hrs at $4.98. but actually it shed to 4.96.  let it be loh.

Today, the BBs were terrible, they blocked 5.01 with 537 lots at 16.02 while EU market opened.

QB since am, 5.06; 5.07;5.04;4.98 n last 4.90 b4 preclosed. No deal on 4.90, BBs saw my Q got angry liao.

Look at SIA, BBs thumbed it down 10 bids(20cts) during preclosed. The moral of the story is that not nec CO down SIA will up. Not holding any, dumped earlier liao. But may consider to keep few in Jan 09, anticipating helfty div in Mar.
