Shares on the measure trade at an average 14.5 times estimated earnings, compared with about 17.4 times at the beginning of the year, according to Bloomberg data. The following shares were among the most active in the market.

How to pick up all these skills you mentioned (reading charts, learn the indicators (MACD, RSI, Moving averages), learn candlestick analysis, monitor the news constantly, learn to gauge the investor/trader sentiments, learn how to read gap-ups/gap-downs and first trades, learn to monitor global markets, learn how to buy at the dip or just before a price movement upwards)?
Dare not be a short term trader after this incident. :(

Learn how to read charts, learn the indicators (MACD, RSI, Moving averages), learn candlestick analysis, monitor the news constantly, learn to gauge the investor/trader sentiments, learn how to read gap-ups/gap-downs and first trades, learn to monitor global markets, learn how to buy at the dip or just before a price movement upwards. Never buy at the high.
And always expect the unexpected and trade defensively. The rest is all experience. If you have a full-time job, I don't think you can be a short-term trader.

To be a good short term investor is don't buy anything as you will loss! Be a mid to long term investor than you may buy stocks.
Please be noted: Purely on our investors point of views, stock investment is meant for mid to long term investment tool but not for short term! Ironically, brokerage firms and other related stock investment participants aiming for more and more short term investors to participate in their business activities.

FRIDAY, 03 SEPTEMBER 2010 13:03 |
Genting Hong Kong (S21.SG) +11.7% at new 52-week high of US$0.355 ($0.478) on strong volume as players turn attention from sister company Genting Singapore (G13.SG) to cruise operator, hopeful it could also enjoy latter’s gaming success given its 50% stake in Resorts World Manila, says Dow Jones. Broker expects RMW to benefit from Philippine casino regulator’s recent move to stop granting new gaming licences to private operators, shut down smaller gaming parlours and poker clubs in non-tourist areas. Orderbook quotes shares may test at least US$0.34. |
super star virgo? 3 days stay on board and no gaming, will be very boring.
