Andrew is my kind of guy!

You simply rock! ...

hehehe...  

 

In bull market buy and hold but watch the chart that it is still on uptrend. In bear market, short sell and hold

 

I have a friend who CFD in 2007......loss big time.  So he when to acc. stock in 2008......even bigger time.  Then come 2009.....start sell in late March......unthinkable.....really.

After Lehman, it is a very different arena......

If you are here long enough........many are long gone.  Singporegirl are you still here.....a super chartist.

In 2007 starting of the financial crisis band on warran on the wrong side and keep going into reverse direction. Share consoludation is also worse when 100 shaft to 1 share so don't think 0.005 is bottom can't go any low when consoludation 100 to 1 means 0.5 but when open it drops all the way to 0.01. Any China Milk case.....  Yes, we'll be smarter but luck play a part

 

That's the problem with leveraged instruments (warrants, margin accounts, etc)...

The player often forgets to pay attention  to the leverage factor simply because the outlay seems so nominal.

Thus overtrading is common, especially if one goes in with the intention to 'make it big'.

How one can lose 200k, etc in the stock market is beyond me...

You should evaluate your investment strategy.

You could be using the wrong strategy for the wrong type of trade you want to do.

There are short-term trading strategies, mid-term trading strategies, long-term investment strategies and shorting strategies.

Before you start trading in any stocks, you should already know which strategy you want to use.

Never choose a stock that is good from shorting and use a long-term investment strategy on that stock. This is a sure way to get killed in the stock market.

Some win some lose but I think those who has got finance back up eventually win and for those in careful long term investment win.. and the great winner is SGX (like Casion dealer always win)

 

I disagree with this.

Going long is much easier than playing short.

If he cannot make money by going long, how can he be making money from shorting?

I think his strategy for trading and investing is wrong.

Or he is too emotionally involved in the stocks he's trading. Hold when his is suppose to sell and sell when he is suppose to be buying.

The biggest mistakes in investing is trading without strategy and trading with emotion.

The market needs your money. You gamble when you short.  You don't need to be a rich guy to short. Shorting no need base capital (pen_qian).  If your trading limit allows, you can even short a million dollars, and a player not easy to find a million to pay for the shares you sold to them. Analysing this logic you find that shorting is better. out-of-the-box      ( Date: 04-Mar-2010 10:29) Posted: Already paid over 200K in "tution fee" last crisis and 2010 get into stock market again start to make small buck and now in negative zone again so pill up greater losses... what do you think?

I believe you only play long all the time, regardless of market conditions. This is the biggest mistake of all.   out-of-the-box      ( Date: 04-Mar-2010 10:29) Posted: Already paid over 200K in "tution fee" last crisis and 2010 get into stock market again start to make small buck and now in negative zone again so pill up greater losses... what do you think?

I love to see Ho Chin to become CEO of  SGX.  For a change., a lady to head SGX. 

Those GCE 'A' level students tomorrow after taking your results, you may apply online to be SGX scholar .

Simply list China companies and no proper check of their prospectus and financial statements, they can't just rely on the external auditors, and China companies default in bond payment and commit fraud, what SGX can do?

Ah right! Shorting rule is only preventing the small guy from making too much money shorting in a downtrend or even uptrend.

The brokerages and banks can hide their smiles just borrowing from their own pool which they sometimes lend to you.

This is the "Utimate Quote Of The Day"...

SGX never reach the global "class/status/reputation" for stock investments and I am afraid it can try very hard and not attain world class, unless it re-examines and changes it direction.
