not agree!
If you have holding power, why you need set stop loss?
unless you know it will continue to drop, otherwise you will lose money really.
if it is a good counter, current price is not so high as peak value, it will come back
soon!

Dont worry if it is paper if u are holding a good counter.. I have big paper loss on SGX long time ago. buy 1.70 drop to about 20%-30% after 10years of holding whether the market crash. the div alone can cover my paper loss. Still didnt sell after so many years, then see the solid paper gain.. Long wait of at least 10years.. (when I am young dont have the patience) make 10-20% gain straight away sell those good counter. then see my portofio all become lousy and pennies counter which some become worthless.
Finally did a change in my investment method and finally able to beat the market year-on-year. As i am working i dont have time to monitor stock. I tend to buy what i think will be the value and size of the company 5 years later... Try to read more investing books. Warren buffet book and the one who teach him at colombia.
Remember investing need patience. Even if u start a company, usually will take some years before it can makes million.. (plant need time to grow, same with companies) look for strong management in listed company.

Haha thanks Bintang for pointing out, I suspected that also.
But for stocks that we regard highly (for my case, which is most of my counters), also cut loss at every opportunity? Stocks will always have fluctuations, scared sell liao the next moment might bounce back, then very counter-productive. tats why I always just hold... dunno how...

Haiz,
All red again.. Hope wun go through the same cycle like last year -30k + paper loss... Hmm.. looks like I never learn from past mistakes ? or maybe I dun know what was my mistakes..
Let the market give you what it will...
Never fight the market (averaging up or down)...
Averaging shows outwardly deep down inside you are "mm gum guan" with the market...

If your fleet is large enough, how about putting up a few more planes for a second wave of sortie?

Don't always think money is easy to make in stock trading. On the contrary it is easier to lose. Remember whenever you buy, you beginning losing until the price covers your two-way brokerage commission. In addition, the sellers always want to profit from the sale to you, and these sellers are powerful lots. Mostly the counter party is your broker, broker firm or a few fixed parties (if you begin noticing by checking the counter parties --they tend to be familiar ones) and they know your weakness too well.
So trade carefully..esp newbies in stck trading....

Hi Calculation,
Appreciate your input. Today Friday liao, might have opportunity to buy.
My view is that if you find all blue chips are over priced, it is most likely that all good potential stocks have been over priced too.
There is no single definition of blue chips and SIA is not the only blue chip.
You may also consider what I (personally) used to call "semi-blue chips" such as Parkway, Wing Tai, CapitaMall, Straits Asia Resources, Keppel Land and perhaps even Suntech.

Hi All,
Any cheap blues still available now ? Many seems to be overpriced amid the current economy, e.g SIA
