Fellowship of the Shares

Hahaha... 

Appreciating a Dajiejie (kak yang) is not the  kind of love you have in mind...

It is more of a friendly appreciation...  

Lai, lai... zaiganyibeihaohaodemeijiu...  

 

Mr Mani,

It is so unmistakable!

Whenever someone post, you appear so uplifted and must follow up with yours in appreciation.

If it is not love, then what is it? 

 

In love with a name???

hahaha... you have a cool sense of humour... 

Laiya...womenlaiganyibeihaojiu!!!...  

 

Mr Mani, are you in love?

 

It's so good to see Dajiejie posting ... and happy  ... hehehe ... 

 

Hi chinkiasu,

Thanks for your bouncing smileys! Your emoticons never fail to bring a laugh to me.  

 

Folks,

Anyone read about the "Say goodbye to the goblin..." in Today's paper?

I like that remark made by Mr Fisher.

I qoute from the article: "The US economy may slow down, but so what? Because the US is the biggest economy, they tend to think that when the US gets a cold, the world is going to get pneumonia. This, today is wrong."

 

Hi CKS

always good to be back home again.

Enjoy ur article u posted.

 

 

 

many thanks Lausk22, feels great to be home even though I enjoyed myself...  you have given me "stress" to take the pics ha ha... and I managed to have a few good shots, leh.. give me some time to let me sort it out and post it.. 

meanwhile re subprime.. I found an rather amusing article by Ben Stein (Fortune) for you to read...

One of my best friends, a blue-eyed, red-haired stunner and a math whiz, is married to a builder and mortgage broker near Naples, Fla. She flew into town, and I had lunch with her today. "How is your husband taking all this stuff?" I asked her.

"He doesn't sleep. At most he sleeps from 5 A.M. to 7 A.M. We built two spec homes near Naples. We spent $2.7 million on each of them. We had them listed for $4 million each. We haven't had one prospect in a year. We lowered the price by a million each. Still no prospects. We're losing $60,000 a month on the two of them. My husband has no business. None. The phone never rings."

"Horrible," I said.

"I'm leaving him," she said. "He's grouchy all the time. I want a guy who's rich and cheerful all day and all night. Why should I have to suffer because his business is bad?"

"He's your husband," I said. "You have to stick by him."

"Why? I want to laugh and have fun, and he's in a bad mood for months on end. I didn't make this mortgage mess, and I don't see why I should have to suffer for it."

"It won't last," I said. "It never does."

She suddenly looked much more upbeat. "How long until the market turns around?" she asked expectantly.

"Maybe six years," I said.

She looked staggered. "That's it," she sighed. "I want you to start looking for a rich husband for me who's going to stay rich no matter what. Tell him I'll be a really great wife." (She has a killer sense of humor so I am praying she's kidding.)

Twenty-four hours later, as I was driving to Malibu from Beverly Hills, I was called by a woman friend of 37 years who is a psychologist and marriage and family counselor in a suburb of Philadelphia. I told her the story about my friend who's planning to look for a richer husband. She gasped.

"That could be a disaster," she said firmly.

"Because she's breaking up her family over money?"

"No, because what if she leaves him and the mortgage market and the spec home market suddenly turn around and he gets rich again and then she can't find anyone as rich to marry next?"

"Good thinking," I said.

"You have to be realistic," she answered.

 

 

welcome back cks!! I'm sure many people here are waiting for your interesting travelogue and fascinating photoshots.

there are opportunities in a volatile rollercoaster market, especially for nimble traders or punters, like Mr Mani.

 

three cheers for Singaporegal....!!!!

for giving us the encouragements...... although you are right that recently market really boring with these hangovers of sub prime etc etc.. nothing really new except to look forward to Sept 18th..

my dear lady... I just got back..  now struggling with jet lag.. will be posting some pics soon that I took from Masia mara... stay tuned...

and certainly, Pinnacle welcome!!!  Your posts are really refreshing.....

 

 

Hi Mani,

Agree with you on that. Too much monitoring of stock prices creates too much emotional attachment to your counters. I also think shplayer is right. Actually regardless of whether you use FA or TA, you should use rules. And when you follow those rules, the stock market is actually a boring place with as little surprises as possible.


 

Hi Pinnacle, 

You're relatively new here but I do read your postings. Please keep it up! 

 

So many forumer going for a vacation..

Me too... going for a getaway in a few weeks time.

Since I'm relatively new here, hence my absent will not be felt though...

Hope by the time I get back, Fed had cut the rate and market rebounced enough for me to clear whatever I'm current stuck onhand.

 

Mani,

You are right.....especially those FA stock.....can be quite boring to monitor.....98% of the time there is 'no play' on them.

Thats why I keep some of my funds for 'punting'.....to spice things up abit.

 

Shplayer... my Da ge... :)

That's what I found out...

Constant monitoring of stock prices is counter-productive and can cause unnecessary "t'ow tia" ...

As long as one has entered at a good technical point, one needs only to check say once at EOD... 

 

Thanks geojam2,

In addition, Mr Bush thanked Mr Howard for inviting him for the next OPEC meeting. But Australia is not even part of OPEC...

Lastly, Mr Bush walked out, the wrong way, after his talk, confidently.

 

Mani,

Perhaps you are right.....but even fundamentally sound stocks are also affected by corrections.

Maybe I should take a break too, get out of the country and not monitor the screen.

 

Da Ge Shplayer ... :)


No need to have "t'ow tia" (headache)...

The solid fundamentals you favour so much may come in handy when DaJiejie is away... hehehe...  

 

I will miss DaJiejie too... hehehe...
