But most of the time, I am in Starbucks (day or night),

thus I do go to many a lot of places in between...

eg. during lunch-time, market dull periods or when just waiting for my price target to be hit...

Actually I am very busy, alternating- multi-tasking, forumming, shopping, gym etc etc.. Smiley

You are right...

and newbies should take this good tip seriously before plunging in.

As for me, I trade and invest (I do both) in counters based only on their charts,

and nothing else, not even the radio.


And I have no time to read, or understand, any solid lengthy analysis reports (where got time for that)... Smiley

Most people lose money in casino because they play like in casino....no fundamental.. greed, fear etc.

Most people who invested good companies will make money. The difference is that they don't go round and tell people they make money - the smart investors.

Singaporegal does have valid points there. And I fully agree with her on what she has said. Furthermore, if you will remember, she is also a highly respected pioneer in this forum.

And it is definitely true that the vast majority of stock market players lose money, be they 'investors' or traders.

And for all you know...

It may even be common to find successful businessmen and property owners

who use their business profits and rent collections to 'finance' their stock market losses too... 

Nothing personal. though... just an observation... Smiley

Think its very individual. If u really think 95% will lose, then really u shldnt be here. We are all here because we at least have some fundamental investments. Likewise, if u are still waiting for the storm to be over, carry on to wait. Anyway, stocks is using extra cash to 'play'.

This is a paradoxical situation of infinitely hilarious proportions.

You see... Singaporeans are well known to everyone (famous) for being "kiasu".

And here you are asking them to cut loss (ie. purposely lose money).

Now, how is that even practically possible, I wonder.

They simply wouldn't buy the idea...

They'd rather hold their 'paper losses' till all the cows are safely home, lol... Smiley

95% lose because they don't know when to exit their trades. Most people fear to turn their paper losses into reality. So what happens is that people will hold on too long to their losing trades.

The recent Europe crash happened so quickly that many people find it hard to accept and thus wait for the market to rebound. As I mentioned a week or so back, I do not think there will be a quick rebound in Europe anytime soon. Economies, unlike individual stocks, have huge momentum and it takes a long time for things to improve.

For now, the best approach is to stay on the sidelines and wait out the storm.

I encourage people dun play stock too.

 For Chinese saying: In gamble 9 lose and 1 win.

 In stock market: 95% will lose.

 That means play stocks is even worse than gambling!!

Ever wonder why there are so many ads on trading stocks? Yes it is very profitable to be a financial institution.

Stock trading is a much, much more complex and intricate activity than meets the eye.

In particular, the psychological factors involved are simply profound, to say the least.

I personally think Alexchia is one of the lucky ones who has 'got it'.

Happy trading, Alex... Smiley

I encourage people don't gamble.

To me, the stock market is just a "market".

Like the "market", People Buy, People Sell.

If stocks are selling cheap, you buy. If stocks become expensive, you sell.

Like the "market", there are good products and bad products.

I like to Buy expensive high quality stocks, but there are others who like to buy cheap lower quality stocks.

Like the "market", if you don't know what you are buying, you can get cheated by the store owner.

If you don't know the stocks you are buying, then you can lose money to the stock market.

If you don't do any homework, then playing the stock market is like gambling.

Some SUPErR SMART single china guys do this:

They pay $2000 annual fee , go casino almost EVERY day, they get:

1 packet of cigarette, got free drinks , free food (points exchange), got aircon.

They wont stay there long , may be 3 or 4 hours, earn $200 to $300 , then leave.

They claim that their salary $1000 plus or $2000 too little, and , thats why go casino make extra $$ for extra expenses.  They are more than expert to know which games or tables can win money.

Thye might not win every day, but, at the end of the month, the pool of money won thru gambling enough to see them  thru to some luxurious life here in singapore.

Casino lose out to them but, casino can make money from tourists , people like you and me who go there only once in a while........We are the big carrots to the casino.    LOL
