One thing very true about Philosophers & Economists is when they're given the same facts and figures, they'll come out with many different views and sometimes very extreme. That's life isn't it? Always with 2-sided stories and all classes of people -you just can't have it all your ways. JUST LIKE NIKE SAYS ' JUSTDOIT' and I did it my ways....hahahaha and a MERRY X'MAS To ALL.

IMHO, the best Traders are Engineers! Cheers!

 

another economist and philosopher here.. just like me..

however, i tend to find philosopher and economist underperform under actual trading condition..

 

ah... that's very true...     :)

 

Fear is in us all the times - we're afraid only when we're in the dark and can't see clearly what's ahead! A very good example is when you're driving - in a fine day, you drive with confidence. In the nite or on a rainning day when the road becomes less visible and more slippery, most of us will drive with extra care and reduce the veh's speed.

Just  like investment or trading in stocks, if you've done your works and know exactly what you're doing, you shouldn't have any fear within the scope of the parameters - even the worst happened, you'll still be up and running.

YOU CAN'T WIN IN ANY BATTLES IF YOU'VE FEARS !

All said, I must warn that ones must not be over-confidence. Cheers!

Actually that kind of "pessimism" is very healthy when it comes to any dealings with the stock market beast. This is more "defensivism" than anything else. To survive in the stock market, it is absolutely essential.

Singaporegal IS on the right track. Kudos to her!

 

Agree with iPunter... I take on a very pessimistic outlook when I trade. The moment my chart indicators detect some negative sentiment, I will be ready to hit the sell button!

 

Righto!... hehehe...

 lot of really good information on this forum, huh? All the newbies never had it so good... can learn as you watch.

 

Everything u invest in has risks.How great is the risk and can u minimise it.

Playing shares always have risks,so they ask u to diversify and play long term to soften the risk.

When spore having property boom,people tell me spore property never fall cos small island ,land limited.Well we went through period of low px.So even property have risk.

 

"one must be afraid, yes, very afraid of losing money in the stock market".

 

hahaha... you really used the precisely correct term... 

As far as the stock market is concerned, that  is very precise and true:-

one must be afraid, yes, very afraid, of losing money in the stock.

I have not the slightest doubt at all that many good souls will agree with me.  Take care.  :)

Hope you don't mind me adding this...

Don't bet big and you will not lose big in case you lose.

 

Whether you trade or invest for the long term, mid term, short term or whatever terms, they all have risks. It is all about how well your understand and tolerate the risks and managing them accordingly. Colors and Markets can change. As a Player in the Market, you've to adapt to the environments prevailing.

You'll be a LOSER if you refuse to change because the environments will never adapt to you. Don't wait till the cow comes home! Cheers and bring home the beef!
