I will start buying some counters to keep when Sti touch 1700. (Have u set target when are u going put more money in the market?)

Watch the price keep dropping and dropping will create fear in you to invest. As long as u have done your homework, set a target time frame for your investment, comfortable with the risk of the company that u are investing. This is a good opportunity, cannot wait for everyone to agree then start investing.

Win or lose in predicting dont matter . (As long as the investment money made is in the pocket)

So many directors holding large chunk of shares are sitting at massive paper loss, some are starting to buy actively.  Have u decide what counter u are going buy and when ?? When the crisses over no more this kind of price ler, u will be pay at least 50% or more for some of these counter later on.

Waiting needs to add in the X factor.  X= age. if a young at 30, then u will cover the investment period of 5-30, as DIC boss said ones. Citi, UBS, etc as exp?????

if at age of 55 n  above, the period, too far stretch liao.  

ha ha, remember, time wait for no man.
