x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Sorry la, i cant vomit all my strategy out except some counter that i find worth to hold and see how egg turn to chick then chicken. I got around 5 STI stock that i always play so i will just play quietly, STI stock dont need to promote one, all knows how good FA r. Tips for u. When STI fall the heaviest, u need to be brave, know what to catch and know how and when to run. Thats how easy money make in some bad times. When i catch those falling stock, theres a risk to kanna whack hard thats why i dont promote risky style of my other play. STI can up down a lots if u not careful. Theres r many play that can profit in the market, just thats people like to play complex game which is different from me. Eg, if all player see then same TA and i know what theres r thinking,  i will do things faster than them( They play left and i like to play right), i just do it, just sell it, is a kind of market experience that inside my mind. If u r a kungfu expert and when someone punch u, u just block it without thinking. But thats need years of training, some success, some forever fail. U can learn all the strategy and knoweldge of stock play in this world, but if u lack of  3 simple key, u also can fail big. Thats is the most simplest and hardest to put inside your mind. Same old thing in thousand years, Patience, Discipline and forgiveness... I stop here now, if not i can write a book liao. Book just give u knoweldge, is yourself that give u real market experience, book is dead, market is alive.     Salute      ( Date: 15-Aug-2011 23:49) Posted: wao, you stayed behind scene action and no talk..........secretly buying up........at least your tiong seng rewarding you already warrenbegger      ( Date: 15-Aug-2011 23:41) Posted: LOL!

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Well, you do need to have a proven track record first before the majority of the people are willing to fork out their hard earn money to buy your books and listen to your teaching method (or Bull-Shit, some may say). Ok, that's about it. Thanks for the advice. Let's see what we have going on in the markets today. Looks like most of the sectors are up (even Gold is up) except for the dollar from US Market open till now. Most Financials are strong today, Morgan Stanley rebounded today from last Friday's sold down. Looks to me we will have a positive trade in Asian markets tomorrow unless maybe Botak Ben comes out and say some nasty words. :p  iPunter      ( Date: 16-Aug-2011 00:41) Posted: Many professionals, eg. accountants, engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc     have gone into 'full-time' stock trading at some time or other...               Many have found by the hard way that it just doesn't work that way.                     The best and least stressful way to make good money is not by trading, but                                 by writing books on trading and also teaching others (for high fees) how to trade...

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Yes, I fully understand what you are trying to say. During the 2008 downturn, I went to a property auction with my cousin. At that time, he swoop up 3 properties within a period of 1 month with upfront cash and no loans. I thought he must be drunk at that time. He is now happily retired at the age of 40 in UK and only now I realized the actual unsober guy was me.   warrenbegger      ( Date: 16-Aug-2011 00:21) Posted: NO! I only treat stock as hobby.

x 1   x 0  Alert Admin	That's a nice one ! We never know what is going to happen. 1997 and 2008's crisis is two big lessons to be learnt. Now the trend is shorting the market. Last time we don't. We buy this at $1 and we wait for it reach $5. Now its not going to happen. Times have changed. We always have to follow the latest trend. We dont have some $100 million to manipulate the market. So best thing is to be humble and follow the trend. More to learn from you Sifu !  warrenbegger      ( Date: 16-Aug-2011 00:06) Posted: True, thats why BB cum FM always jump faster in front of U and run road faster than U, if not they will hold their cute baby with tears beside their eyes...

Peace of mind is very important..... Never let money control your emotion..... Actually, a Full time trader is trading part time..... lol
