The Stock Market is my University when comes to investing. All you've learnt from books and uni only prepared you for the real world of investing which is very unforgiven! Cheers! | ||

Err..i think, this times round some maybe paying in ten or hundred thosand, even in million of $$$ for wanting to earn a lesson learn here. As for me, meanwhile i did not touch anyone of those (good, bad and or ugly) stocks. Can said abit Kiasu, not lahh...actually just tot that is is better be safe then sori as i c things, forewarning nyself. In other word i losses alot less, so i save abit more for my rainy day and wait for worst to get over with.

singaporegal, re your post 27 Jun 1555hrs....who to believe?? Only believe in yourself. 2-3 years ago, my broker highly recommended a certain stock....gave some fantastic story about a new technology which will storm theworld market...stock was at 10cts....going to have a rights issue for warrants. I did my homework on the company: negative equity new shareholders just took control..new shareholders suing old shareholders; and vise versa...they won't have time to focus on the business one of the directors bought 100lots from the open mkt....and sold 50lots within 2 weeks....=>no confidence in the co. or kuching kurat director dont even have $5K to spare.... I turned down the offer...today the stock languishing @ 0.5 to 1.0 cts. Sometimes, certain money not worth making...if I believed my broker and vested in the co. I am sure I would have had sleepless nights.....even if the stock goes up to $1.00 today, I would not regret it cos at that time, I just did not feel comfortable with the co. So, do your own research, believe only in yourself. |

how not to buy when reach the peak? whether or not is a peak is at hindsight, only obvious after a few days later, which by that time, u have either 1) bought at the peak 2) missed the chance of buying at a lower price. This might make u mad and impulsive, buying at any price rise movement ...which might, t hindsight be the peak. |

Very often it is the Wishful Thinking (clearly demonstrated in this thread) of Investors which would lead to Self Deception that finally resulted a wrong decision! Cheers!!! |

The difficult part to learn is to cut lost, not knowing after cutting it lost, price starting to shoot up like nobody business and the best part is to understand oneself (not to sell) when it prices keep going down (hanging on till hope arrive or hanging on till it is zero value) here one have to weight how much can the pro and con be weighted that such and such stocks isit worth keeping over your next 1, 3, 6 12 mths or even hold it, infinity till it reach your price, usually one can ave down esp on lower volume and buy within mean. Hv some profit, take some & leave some for other. |

Mr Market has many characters - one minute he maybe your best friend and the next your worst enemy! I think he is the 'smartest man' that I've ever encountered. The moment you think you've beaten him, he'll strike you like a thunder-bolt. Therefore, as long as you're still in the Market, try as far as possible to 'learn' to respect him and do what he tells you to do (make sure you read the message correctly)! Cheers! |

It's good to look at the company from different perspectives. Maybe take the middle ground. Its ok to read analyst reports, but take them with a pinch of salt. Apply a safety margin to the price targets. The more optimistic the price target, the bigger the safety margin. Most of the time, the analysts or their high net-worth clients bought the shares before the reports are made free to the public. Using TA, you can spot this from the price increases and volumes. |

very often, you'll see 2 different analysts with very very different perspectives into a same company! Makes you wonder sometimes who to believe. |

There is always a high percentage of Psychological factor in the "Stock Market". I take Analysts' comments with a "pinch of salt" but read more closely with Analysts'/frim's backup with research on paper report. - Nornally contains a declaration that the Analyst do not own the shares in question - Important are the "assumptions" and the "downside risks" in their comments. |

Tanglinboy : "Dotted's" story is very meaningful.. As retail investors, we should learn never to be like the villagers in "Dotted"'s story. Observe a stock's movement before buying or selling. Don't chase after peak prices as it would allow the "big boys" to sell, or panic sell when prices dip as it would conversely allow the "big boys" to buy. Always buy within our means, unless you are daily trader. |

Good story! and hikitty is right... sounds like how the big players move the markets at the expense of retail investors. |

"Dotted's" story is similar to press reports of analysts' targeted prices. After having progressively collected shares at low prices, they will suggest a target many times higher than the prices they had bought. They will unload more progressively by progressively buying less at high prices. Similar to "Dotted's" monkeys' story? Who would be "stupid" enough to tell the whole wide world to make money? The moral of the story is, "When someone openly tells you it's time to buy, it's probably time to sell or "cut loss" . The converse holds true. | ||

Once upon a time, in a village a man appeared who announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys went out in the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish and villagers started to stop their effort he announced that now he would buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so scant that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it. The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business his assistant would now buy on behalf of the man. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man comes back, you can sell it to him for $50. The villager squeezed up with all their saving to buy the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere! |
