Anyone got struck in Oceanus .... Still no news yet :(
Thanks bro for sharing your view. Nice sharing! I can see that you belong to the Investor Group.  There's a difference between investing in stocks or playing stocks.  To invest for a stable return, most of what you said is very true. To play a stock(for short term like contra), I think Technical Analysis and watching price movement are the priority. So it actually depend on individual whether they want to invest in a stock or play a stock.
A company can have  very good fundamental and value but if BBs, Funds etc are not interested, the price still won't move.  I personally won't buy this kind of counter and wait for BBs or Funds to get interested because I don't know how long I have to wait. I will prefer to buy a counter with potential and which BBs and Funds have  immediate  interest in it.  Like that, I can see my return faster. 
Juat my 2-cents worth!
Huat ah!

Haha yeap, doesn't mean that the longer we hold, the more money we make. My strategy is to buy stocks which are normally suppressed and undervalued after i run a check on it's fundamentals, and taking into account it's potential, growth prospects, risk and yield factor etc... I personally know fund managers who are always on a lookout for these stocks. To me whether retail investors or institutional investors, BBs or fund houses, etc..., we are all just a part of the market and would want to invest in something that has value and can grow. In terms of BB world, there is also not just one BB but many many many BBs, and all invisible forces of buying/selling, value investing, trading, speculation, etc... would interact to what we call the Market.
In terms of companies which no longer have any potential for further growth, one can also check the fundamentals of the company to access it's cash flow and debt, after which coming up with a risk/yield level to determine the price of the company stock. But for retail investors like most of us here are, it would be good to look at average dividends paid out annually. So I suppose if a company is risk-free, i can give it a conservative risk or discount factor of 0.04, and if it's average dividends paid out per year is like 0.125, the intrinsic value of the company as a mature and stable dividend-yield company with limited potential for growth would be $3.125. Corrections and volatility do occur in the short term but in the long term, prices will still match back to their fundamentals for these companies (unless their fundamentals really change). Therefore, for companies which no longer have any potential growth and if their annual dividends paid out per year is very little, it's intrinsic value would be matched accordingly (some S-chip companies pay really miserable dividends and I can't see how much growth they can produce with their retained earnings).
Ultimately, the thing I look out for in companies is whether they have value or not. And I would only buy if they are really cheap and considering their stability and risk, whether for capital gain companies or dividend-play companies. For capital gain companies, I would normally sell after it has reached my target price. Sorry for the long post as when I talked about investing, I can always go on and on. Investing is just like planting a tree. In terms of capital gain companies, is like you watch it grow from a seedling to a mature tree. For dividend-yield companies, is like you eat the fruits from the tree. A fruit tree that can produce many fruits (dividends) and on a land with fertile soil (cash-rich), and in an environment with stable weather conditions (debt/risk) will naturally fetch a high value once farmers and people (the Market) realize it. Lastly, thanks to Bro Simpsons for adding me.. Everyone HUAT!! =)

Bro, before coming to SJ, I may agree with your points, and this is exactly what I was doing.
After reading your view, if I understand correctly, it seems to me that this is opposite of what I learn here in SJ, especially in this thread.
For what I learned here, once you sense you made a mistake, make the decision fast to cut, instead of hoping and praying that there is an u-turn, and from what I see so far, I do agree with whoever commented about it, most of the time, there is no u-turn.
About nurturing the stocks, it might work well if the market sentiment is very good. My sister did tell me that earlier on, I think should be end of last year to early this year, almost any counter she buys, will eventually make money, that was when the market is SUPER good.
Furthermore, I believe majority of us here don't have deep pockets, cannot hold many counters and wait for it to germinate and start to grow.
For those many counters I am holding now with paper loss, if I cut now, I still can get back quite a bit of money. But if the market crashes now, I know all of them can really turn to become paper, worthless. 
This is my personal opinion from what I have learned so far. Please do correct me if I am wrong.

I think this is the weekend with the most number of posts. Why all of u so free one ah?? Haha. Thanks bro Simpson for creating tt member list. I'm perfectly fine with my no. 9 as well. I nv knew got so many ppl in this forum. I don't think I even talk to more than 10 of u all. Looking forward to more sharing of views. Huat ah!!!
Sister Falcon, it is not that I already got the hang of it, but really Bo Pian. Didn't know how to cut loss before, and now still baby sit many many counters from the poor experience before. Pai Seh to tell you how many counters I am babysitting now. Just to tell you it is many. So, I really cannot to afford to hold even 1 more at the moment, unless I am able to clear any one of them if they happen to KI SIAU to move nearer to my buying price, I am ready to cut just like what you did for your Innopac.
Unless I hear good comments from Sifus in the examples of Innopac and Unionmet, then I still hold. But FL, it was ready not I wanted to buy, I was tricked into it by the fake buy q. And Bro Stockcham already informed BOH SHUI for the closing. Another sifu also said not a good sign for that closing, so I really don't want to hold and pray hard any more. Guess what, after cutting, so peaceful though paid tuition fee, and was able to crack jokes and enjoy free shows in SJ for Thursday and Friday. If not, would be so tensed. LOL.
Well, I am learning everyday here, though I am slow learner. HUAT AH!

Ya, you told me that. So I only q 145, not chasing the 146 or 147, and ready to withdraw any time. And then see it should match at 146 or 147, got deceived, and didn't withdraw. Well, indeed learnt a great lesson, saw the fake buy q b4 opening 3 days in a row. Wednesday in Centurion, Thursday in FL and Friday in ISOTeam. Sure already grow wiser after this 3 days lesson. At least shouldn't fall into this same trap again. LOL.
Ok, now I learned that we get the order ready, but leaving the last step right? And any moment, just press the button. Anyway, will try my very best not to put myself into this kind of last minute scenario again.
Thank you for teaching!

Bro Cskshares, I'm still polishing my cut loss skill. I see that You alredy get the hang of it. Losing is inevitable smtimes if You want to stay in d game. As long as its small dont worry, You will make more this week. Huat ah! Btw I've sold Freightlink last Thurs at 0.144, didnt make anything. I was not comfortable with the new deal with City Harvest. I need to 'believe' in a stock even if its a one day affair, lol. Cheers!

Huat ah!
Huat ah!

My personal view only..
Rule 3) , though my initial trading was based on this (Eg: 7% stop loss,etc..) but no longer valid for my current trading system..
Basically,
1) In any technical analysis stocks you want to trade, should always ensure that Fundamental Analysis is intact for the stock that you want to trade, be it short,mid or long term.. This will minimal the risk, although I won't say totally eliminate all risks.
2) Never trade using contra as any stocks need time to nurture, like a " nurturing a plant" .. It can be 1,2 to 4 weeks..but sell when the target price is hit and reap profits.
Holding power is important..
------> Have you ever experienced, when you sold using cut loss system, and it bounced back again after that? With the right combination of technical indicators,time frame to lock a position of a certain stock ( Each stock got different dates to lock in, that's why you see uptrend/downtrend..except those in-active,low volume stocks..)
3) Do not use all the technical indicators, but rather choose those that you comfortable with, at least 3 to 5.. and not more than that. 
3) Emotion..another big topic..
4) Many more..but can't finish in this page itself..
All the best and this is only my personal view..
