Go to POSB website and find out about ETF they recently launched. I suppose this is a safer bet than putting your money in stock market at this moment for people are 'guessing' the direction of market and dont know if DOW would hit 10,375 or Gold could hit 1500? All these are just 'guessing' and no one knows, only the insiders know... | ||||

The stock market is neither good nor bad. It is a neutral congregation of willing buyers and eager sellers. It is only our perception of the market being good or bad. When you make money from it, it's good. When you lose money in it, it's bad. To those who don't trade/invest the markets, it is neutral. To jasonfaxingliu's query on what stocks to look out for, frankly I don't know. What I do know is that one needs to do one's homework whether it is investing for the long-term or trading in the short term. And it is a lot of homework if you want to master it. What has been recommended for laissez faire investors is to do dollar-cost averaging over the long-term i.e. to put a fixed amount in a few well-chosen index funds every month and forget about them for 20 years. The probability of one sitting on a good-sized fortune is supposedly very high by then. Of course, it helps if one starts this strategy in a down-market instead of a up-market. Happy trading/investing! |

In a prolonged downtrend, such as we have recently experienced in 2007, many people have stubbornly held on to their stocks, thinking not of the trend, but all the time only dwelling on their stocks' 'great fundamentals'. Thus at at a late stage of a prolonged downtrend, these same people, having been finally convinced of the existence of a downtrend, will readily agree that stocks stink... But this does not change the fact that the stock market is good. Only people's biased thinking is bad...  |

If you can say that, obviously you are oblivious to the phenomenon of 'trend'...

Your post can qualify to be the best and most useful post to newbies... :) The stock market is a place for betting, and not for investment as such. If you want to invest in a company, you must make sure you buy it's stock at a low, low price... the lower the better. But not at a high price. It is rather stupid ton 'invest in a company' by paying a high price, only to later discover that the stock's price can actually go down to an 'insane' level, eg. to a fraction of one's purchase price.... |

I find that our market is only interested to eat your money and not allow you to realize the value of your investment. So that is why people should stay away and put their money on more useful ventures elsewhere, lol. | ||||

The best advice I can give is when people are interested in buying stocks, you should not be keen at all to know what stocks to buy... Rather, you should wait out patiently for times when many people you meet have lost a lot of money and are trembling in the knees, being scared of stocks and the word 'stocks'. This is usually at the bottom of a long drawn out bear market... Then, and only then, is it worth to place your bet...

There's saying after mid Dec, stock prices going south so holding power got to be at least 3 months. To invest 20K in Golden Agre or China Hongx is still a good bet. Seem to me world stock market now is trendless.. so waiting for news: up or down (many will react to make the effect more significant) |

Listening to tips can harm you. This is because a few good ones can get you addicted, and then the booby-traps will be placed and there you can never out without losing much. Also any advice in a forum should not be used for decision making, very important this one!

Always remember that there are quite a number of "bull-shitter" here (excluding me), and you can do well not following them. Just ignore any tips to buy or sell a counter. LOL. | ||||

Not only does it lacks activeness, this sg market is also very clumsy, so stay away. Always play mostly contra. Just place small bets and never hold stocks otherwise you could get entangled to a slow demise. |

Generally and overally, the SGX market is rather impotent, that is lacking the prowess of an investment climate. The financial sector is the main movers by themselves with mainly the fund managers and the investment arms of banks and financial institutions playing. So if you really want an advise, stay out of the market except the finance. Also in this sector you have to be choosy too.
