In order to have good gust of blood circulation, you should 'feel' the other way.   Let your 'feelings' betray you just for once,.   hahahaha!

You are so humble... :)

       I think you are actually a winner,

             ie. one who loses small but win more...

This is what I meant when I said before:

        one must learn "the gentle art of losing"

              before one can make good money...

You are so right...

     This is much, much more sensible and absolutely  defensive...

           After all, the stock market is all about betting...

                The earlier one realises this , the better

                     (though many will become angry when they hear this)...

In my opinion, never throw good money after bad.

Sometimes it's easy said than done.Afterall, you

must be thinking that you have bought high and

now the price is lower, it's a steal to accumulate,

why not?????? Pl. remember my first sentence.

You must admit that right at this moment...

     there are many who have been 'accumulating' and averaging down

           since the downtrend was underway last year.

               And these people are still sitting on very, very huge losses.

                   And today, while the downtrend has not proven itself to have ended yet,

                         many are still at it...

only work on growing company... and no accident... even something like BP, you can't predict before hand...

wait..  but if company is growing over year, you earn anyway.... no strategy needed...

so... end of day... still on picking the right stock... with right margin...

anything bought overprice.... is luxury... just a way for rich to show off they are rich....

Hard to say... with low vol. and other markets are trading weaker recently, all these technical indicators for STI may not be accurate or be manipulated.

I dun look so much into it since I'm not a trader looking for short term gains...I rather concentrate on the bigger picture in the longer term. Cheers!
