In what way is fishing healthier than bowling?

      You mean got  lot of fish to eat?

              Or got a lot of time to sleep/read magazines/watch DVD while waiting

                        for the big bite?

Issues  pertaining to share mvt  ie.  trading halt,  share placement sales  cannot not be divulged beyond the boardroom which is tantamount to insider trading.

epliew      ( Date: 07-Mar-2011 12:20) Posted: can tell me what is ur price to cut loss if bought @ 2.01 ? eastcivic      ( Date: 07-Mar-2011 11:37) Posted: what gaecia said makes sense.... rise in price of oil hits transportation company badly. i think 2.04 is a tough  resistance and cosco will need to breakout from 2.04 to chiong further. i've placed my bet and  now just waiting to see how it plays out..... if it breaks out successfully from 2.04 then good for me.... if it does not and my stop loss gets triggered, i accept this small loss. when placing a trade, be it going long/short..... always need to have a stop-loss and have to accept  the stop loss if it happens, because even if the chart shows us all the signals to  enter  a trade(eg severely undersold/overbought, indicators all pointing to reversal etc), there is always a chance for the market to not go the way  we  want. calculate the risk-reward. see whther the bet that you want to take has an acceptable risk-reward  to you before entering.

 

Wrong....

You long and short at the same time also will lose brokerage fees.....

Rising oil prices will not hit transportation sector badly .Once ,there is a minister said that and most ppl thought he is talking nonsense.

something to think about ?

 

MELBOURNE, March 7 (Reuters) - Australian stocks fell 1.4

percent to close at a 5-week low on Monday, with index

heavyweights Rio Tinto , BHP Billiton and top

banks all posting losses as tensions in oil-producing nations

sapped appetite for risk.

The benchmark S& P/ASX 200 index fell 66.4 points to

4,797.9, according to the latest available data, its lowest

close in 5 weeks and tentatively breaching chart support at

4,800.

New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 index rose 0.4

percent to 3,430.1.

 

quite true....

fishing is healthier than bowling....

I am not arguing with you, but do you know you can only make

    money by investing on the right side of the market?

          Of course like most people, you stick to your staunch opinion

                that the market will reward you handsomely at a later stage.

                      But time is money, I also hope for you to make money.

      It is  a unique undertaking...

            which requires a lot of experience..

wow really?

i thought fishing is more related....

i seem to find alot of similarities with fishing and stock trading.....

1.   need alot of patience  to catch a fish - need alot  of patience to enter/exit at  the share price you aiming 
2. there are different rods to be used - different strategies, indicators, different charting software
3. different oceans/seas to fish - different stock markets to play

i think there should be more.... but i can't think of them at the moment

          and Wayne Web's old one-handed " grab and throw style" ...
