x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Sifu may be right...     There are people who 'ride the trend' for decades on end,           during which they became rich and pauper in turn...                 By riding big uptrends and big downtrends up and down.                       Many may also have died or are wiped out while pratising                             such such holding, mainly because they would then have                                   averaged down heavily during big downtrends... Oldbird      ( Date: 01-Aug-2012 15:27) Posted: I do not know where you get that 80% figure? But that is what i guess for the result of casino players, 80% lose on that day, for the remainer 20% winners will lose back on the next day or the next next day ! Both stock & casino are not "zero sum" games, the only difference is stock price has a trend to follow if one holds a long term view. Eg, i can safely say that stocks like Nol, Genting ..,, will return to it fair value one day if given enough time frame but will Genting goes up or down tomorrow will be any one good guess!

Many think that they have found a secret formulas of using TA and thus able to make a living! They probably will find themselves disapointed after practicing for some years. They will realise one day that high frequency trading will only make money for the broker house and our tax department

They are desperate, seeing the miserable vol from retail traders. Low retail participation is happening even in US, China and global mkts, not just here, and it's a sign that more people have wise up to the idea that they can lose their hard earn money playing stocks. My fear is that ignorant youngsters get sucked into stock trading thinking they can make alot of money in a short time, but lose instead, and get addicted like gambling. Trading is very complicated, and we cant beat the greedy, merciless BBs who use program trading. Most people only give up after their bullets dry up, a very big painful loss. I've discouraged my friends, colleagues, relatives from trading, bcos with internet and mobile trading, it is too easy to trade, and get addicted. 80% of people lost in stocks, how sure are they that they can be the 20%? The only way not to be the 80% is to never ever treat stocks like gambling,... ie buy/sell fast on tips and news...sure lose big big. Everyone shd wait for price to be very low then buy blue chips, and hold longer, for dividends and capital appreciation. One can only make profits from such an investment approach, ie take a long term investment approach. Betting for quick profits is no different from gambling in a casino isn't it?

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Most of us are chatting more these days because we hv lightened our positions, and watching by the sidelines. Only computers doing the trading with itself, i think. BBs are setting up traps to lure us in. Cannot be greedy and get killed. Those who buy/sell everyday sure lose more than they can win. Rather earn less than to lose big. Wait for clear signals and confirmation to long or short, dont gamble with our hard earn money.
