Yes, and the worst thing is, people always think that buying is investing... But to me, selling* is real investing... hehehe...  (*Note: Holding is in effect buying ie. you have already bought and by holding, you remain bought, or long) |

Never hold yr stock for more than 3 to 4 years for long term. Recession is in cycles. To be frank even if u are well equipped with skillls in trading, u will also be trapped sometimes also. Remember it is the economic & the company FA that influence the stock price...... For Livermore comments, i agreed with him. Buy some when stocks are oversold. But make sure they have good FA. Lastly remember to reserve bullets (that what i normally did). Cheers, Happy CNY to all.

Of course you can find your ideal price ! But you need to be well equipped with the skills of trading, which many people are lazy to learn. If you bought and hold any SP500 or DJIA blue bank chips for the past 10 years, you would not have earned much and probably be sitting on a huge paper loss. That's a lot of waiting for nothing ! Buying and holding now in this economy is like burning your real cash to your ancestors !

When dealing with humans, I am a very good, generous and kind. But when it comes to playing the stock market, I always try to be as mean as possible, ie. buy as low as possible, and sell as high as possible, albeit at predetermined points. I don't play 'lovey-dovey' with stocks. Stocks are not your darling friends. |

I am not so sure about that. To me, the number of shares I have is no different than the combined $value of all the shares. As long as the market is downtrending, my capital gets to be smaller and smaller. Thus, I have never been caught in a downtrend at all, even in a big meltdown, This is because long before a meltdown is full-blown, I would have been out (dumped) a long time.. |

I have nothing against trading but just note some points. Each time you guess wrongly your capital is slowly reduced without you realising it. Let me explain. For instance you sold at $1.60, and then the stock goes up again. Let's say at $1.70, you decided to chase and bought at $1.70. You have lost out 10c. If you don't chase and the stock is at $2, you find you don't have the capital to buy back the same number of shares you sold at. Pay attention to the major correction and not the minor ones. | |||||||||||

If you have $10k in a stock A, then at any instantaneous point in time when market is open, that $10k is the same whether it is in stock A, B or C. Just that the number of shares in A, B and C is different. If you can appreciate what I am trying to say, you would be able to rebalance your portfolio where neccesary | |||||||||||

You can't always be waiting for your "ideal price" to buy. Be flexible. When stocks ae oversold, use a 2 strike strategy instead of insisting you need to buy at a certain price

You can find tons of videos on YouTube.com that teaches how to read charts. But, I think the best lessons are from the mistakes you make. Trust me. You definitely going to make mistakes in the stock market. Everyone does. You can ask any experts. Everyone makes mistakes and loss money before. The most important thing is not to loss all your capital and learn to cut loss between 7% and 10% to protect your capital. Learn from your mistakes and don't give up. |

Wa, you are very clever to wait and buy low-low, I also agree with that... It is better for you to learn to draw some simple straight lines (support/resistance), So that you will know what is 'high' and what is 'low'. No need to go library to dig up Einstein history, but just understand that high/low is only "relative". But don't listen to your relative too, just read from the chart. hehehe... |
