You are right. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can make money in 2009. Even a monkey can make money in 2009.

The question is how much money did you made in 2009?

FYI, I was accumulating DBS between Dec 2008 to Mar 2009, I even participate in their stock option.

Why I did not post here?

Well, I only discover this forum early this month, was not here then.

Anyway, coming back to my first post.

My point was don't buy a stock based on personal opinion or hear-say. Do your own analysis, technical and fundamental, and make your decision based on those analysis.

In 2009, even stupid gongkias also can make lots of money in shares provided they stay invested  throughout the entire 2009.

My point is 99% of people that made money last yr they only started buying heavily from April to June. And NOT in the 2nd week of March 09.

If u say u bought heavily into banks in the 2nd to 3rd week of March 09, u had obviously lied. Becos if u belong to the 1% so zhun to catch the absolute bottom, u won't be posting in forums oredi.

I absolutely agree with wat u said bro! u have my support :) even my fren who is a big player who plays by few hundreds lots per trade only started buying heavily in april.. as april showed signs of a key pivotal reversal.. first second week of april was still panic.. at that point, u would already have been wetting ur pants not knowing whether STI could hit 1300 or 1200.. maybe those who bought in were really lucky.. or taking a quick shot..

ultimate fact is no one can time the market with such precision.. if we can accumulate near the bottom is pretty good enough lol.. if u really had a way of doing so, u would be hush hush abt it..

Cheers.

Ha ha. I think your ex-broker has lied to you about his experience in the stock market.

2009 has been one of my best year ever, I made a quite of lot of money from the banking and Oil & Gas sector.

There are some very good brokers and remisers, but many are just as blur as any amateur out there.

They just follows what other people are doing and have no idea what they are doing.

Mind you that they make money through commission from your trade. They just want you to trade so that they can earn a commission. They don't really care if you make money or not.

Anyway, I don't rely on broker to tell me what to buy or sell.

I do my own analysis, technical and fundamental, and make my own call. 7 out of 10 time, I'm accurate.

Remember, Nobody cares about your money like you do.

Why you panic?

There has been lots of selling on this counter since Dec 2009.

by the time u can tell clearly the selling has ended, Yanlord will oredi have rebounded to way, way above yesterday's low.

Just like I got 1 ex-broker from uob, he said in Early April 2009 from all his many years of experience, he cautioned it's still too early to tell whether Bank shares have indeed bottomed or not in early March 2009, he say maybe likely to break below march lows soon, by the time he said yes Banks shares have bottomed , it was in late-May, & bank shares had oredi risen soooooo much from their March-lows
