Yes its all very visible now, on hindsight. Yah should have invested in A$ NZ$.. might as well should have buy 4D also can win. Maybe I put in pilliow now I laughing at everyone. But this is all Hindsight. NOW IS Cheap. Next week could be cheaper. Let me tell you, since 911, we not see such a drop. I can forsee that it will be followed by a few more drops of -2.XX% here and there.. and very soon we realised that STI can drop to 2500 for you to see. Not all the victims come out yet. There are still alot of hopefulls holding on. The blood bath is yet to come.. Wait till recession occurs maybe it will be even worse. |

I wouldn't say loss as long as it is on paper(22% for me)...but i dont think the crises have arrive either..i see the market will rebounce then the stock will rally awhile till election then the real crash will come after 2009.. This is my prediction..may not come about..but i stick with it since i have confident and will buy as with my plan...so either i swim or i sink...DYODD.. |

I have saving in AS$ and has enjoyed it's 5-6% yearly interest. Have invested quite a lot in stocks which I don't really prefer. After all these years of investing in the Stock, I don't think I make money, but my sum of FD in AS$ is getting bigger and bigger. I have a few times mentioning to a few friends about putting all my Money into AS$ or NZ$(interest is higher than the AS$ fixed D) to have a peace of mind and the reply was forex changes can be a kill too, moreover, NZ except milk and sheeps, there is no other resources like Australia has to backup, it's currency is more risky than in Australia. Last year, when AS$ passed S$1.32/AS$1, I didn't sell it and soon after that it dropped to $1.24. What influences the rate of AS$. eg: the carry trade stirred up the AS$ appreciation, and it was withdrawn to make profit a short while after. Will there be another carry trade for getting into the AS$ saving.,can one advise.? As FED keeps cutting rates, I suppose the AS$ is going to depreciate as the return is going to be smaller and as stocks are getting bottom and people will convert the AS$ saving to the stock market. Am I correct? |

Educator... :) What percentage of your trading money is lost? If it's a mere 10% or 15%, there should be no causes for depression, because it's rather easy to win that back in the long run... I suppose being an educator ( I assume), you will know the importance of education. To me, there's no other educational package as good as the "Genie Tutorials", which I constantly recommend, in spite of unfavourable comments by certain forummers.... It is not just a trading guide... it is a character-building aid too (and for all levels of traders)...

educator: In times of bull, when you put FD everyone laughs at you. In earlier year 2007 someone "mock" me at the FD returns when he can make lotsa more in the bull market. He is correct at that moment in time. But my strategy all along has been diversification in financial investment tools. And today for once since that time my FD is beating my stocks dividends and capital! Lesson to be learnt: Be it times of bear or bull, always spread your monies around different investment instruments. |

I am retired and have lost close to $20K in the last 2 weeks on blue chips. I should have put the money in FD and savings instead. I am very sad now. |

sohguanh, Yep. Last time young so everything also cheong all the way. Never think further then 2 steps ahead. Now I have diversified already. Today market looks pretty shaken-up. Don't know how long this is going to last. Hope to see it clear up before the CNY so that everyone can have a happier CNY. Happy CNY to you in advance too. : )) |

Lazyhorse: I see then I tink your young times strategy is bad. I am still buying but I still have my FD, insurance so I am ok. This year insurance premiums and CNY expenditure I have cut out so I can play shares without fear no monies. Always split up your pork meat into pieces and neber mix them. This is how I treat investment :) Anyway happy CNY 2008! :P |
