x 1   x 1  Alert Admin	Both sifu is right. People are unwilling to step out of the market because they think that it is still going to go up. Humans are greedy. Market crash or not they still see it is an opportunity. Until their hands really get burnt big time then they will stop. For me i will just keep GSP for long time. Close eyes dont see because this is only 20% of my savings. I still got 80% to back me up. iPunter      ( Date: 19-Aug-2011 14:11) Posted: Sifu is right...     Every moment is an uncertain moment (it may go up, it may go down)...                 Thus, every moment is a bet for those holding...                             In order to be certain of no further losses,                                         one merely needs to step out of the market.                                                   It is as simple as that, but very hard for some to do... risktaker      ( Date: 19-Aug-2011 14:02) Posted: maybe u need to sit down and.analyse the.situation calmly. ur not thinking properly because u have exposure in the market. ur betting on a 1% chance.of rebound tonight... haizzzzz. when.ur wrong u have to cut. good luck.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Agreed with risktaker and iPunter. I got my long trade this morning against me and have closed all my long positions @ 2pm, taking a small lost in the process from my profits overnight.  In this volatile market conditions, it is best not to hold on to open positions (especially long in particular) over the weekend. No one knows what will happen, it is simple not worth the risk. Good Luck :p

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	thats very true indeed.  so by right, the only way to go is to SHORT now. blindly short it. but then there's another side of the story. what if.  helicopter ben announces qe3 (or whatever he wants to name it) tonite? i've learnt, in my short trading span, to be agile. to cut loss. to respect the market. oh and also. all these reports from the cuckoo-brain ANALS, i  chuck them aside. if  these anal reports are printed on a  90gm paper, that paper quality become worst than the cheapest toilet paper available in the market.  iPunter      ( Date: 19-Aug-2011 14:06) Posted: At this point in time, many investors are already losing a lot...           If the market continues to fall, more people will be selling                   to salvage their savings from being eroded further...                             and this is why we see the trend feeding on itself.                                           Stocks is not " sng-sng" (to be taken lightly). parimas8      ( Date: 19-Aug-2011 13:58) Posted: master iP.  i believe u sir.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	ok to say something positive.... holding long term is good, because after their " contract" (can't pay out dividends) with the banks end, then they can start paying out dividends. but for short term, not good for trading because of the MACRO factors. Long or short term, u decide. risktaker      ( Date: 19-Aug-2011 14:02) Posted: maybe u need to sit down and.analyse the.situation calmly. ur not thinking properly because u have exposure in the market. ur betting on a 1% chance.of rebound tonight... haizzzzz. when.ur wrong u have to cut. good luck.

Haha.  I also made a mistake thinking that STI will make a sharp U turn.. it did not... I reckon it wont already.. Thought that Genting would lead the way. Yes i agree with you, dont hold long positions. Let dow go up 300 points or go down 300 points. Doesnt matter. I want to sleep peacefully tonight. I really feel that Genting SP will not break its 1.50 support. Genting already started accumulating their own shares.. I believe that it wont go as deep as you guys think. Anyway goodluck to you. STI did not make a U turn, therefore there will be no profit taking. 2 possibilities. Last minute heavy buy back or STI will just keep it this way
