fy2008 full yr reswult wudb out on 7 aug after market closes.
Yes, you're right in that sense. but remember that banks dun force sell when a stock goes north and traders only short in a big way during bad news or when they foresee a downtrend...its like adding oil to a burning fire but the fact is that generally, people likes a bull more than a bear.
Lets take a stock to be a living thing, do you prefer to kill him or save him to make money? Well the choice is yours! I would prefer to focus in a single direction.

I do not mean to offense anyone here but just sharing my tots...
To me...shorting or the "conventional" way of buying low selling high are the same...pple will still get burn...shorting or selling high are still the same...(you are hoping the counter is at its highest price) if the counter goes your way...the other party that is buying still gets hurt...
When someone sell...there will be another person buying it...It is always the greater fool's theory at work in the market... one side gets the $$ while the other end of the transaction gets hurt.. it is the nature of how things work in the stock markets.
So shorting or not... the end result is still the same...
Just my own tots...

Looks like it is going to hit $7.
all well said, tks to share all tots. another way to look at all tots, simply no venture no gain loh, though needs to face some risks here and there.
Wow! Moving up so fast.....

wow, this burger chiong in pm. but buy high sell higher is not the current trend leow loh. beware of this burger.
if u look at the 10 yr chart for SGX..it shows a head n shoulders pattern...
looks like the overall trend is down..
Hm.. just out with some profit since i log in few during yesterday low.. today buying force is strong.. still layman predicts strong sellin down in later day if follow these fews weeks pattern.. Trading Sell
My opinion is that,ipunter is a trader.He has the foresight to sell high and buy low.
Hercules,on the other hand,is an investor.Thus he can forget about the stocks he is holding.
Hence,the difference betw the 2.

agreed both sifus. AK opine that switching counters and keeping cash are vital options during buoyant markets. basically, doing own study and listen to others are viable techniques for investments.

The key is to forget about the stocks you are holding. If you can do that and if your stocks are good, then you can buy stock at time of the year. Sometimes there's no need to check price everyday. Once a month might be good.

The trick is to get out while the loss is still small...
Holding on and hoping during a long bear market is painful...  |

It's true indeed! Get out while you still can....return when the bear get exhausted!
Thus, get away from the beast, dun have to stab/kill it, u could be hurting yourself! Come back again when it become friendly again.

The stock market is a beast, but an unemotional one.
Too many people have lost their money because they treat the stock market as always a friendly animal...
kind man whereas reading ur post is a pratical guy.
