STI to cross 3000 boosted by long-term investors

let's get back to reality after forum-tainment...

 

Yo Robert,



"My great piece of advise to you, learn from the aunties or school girls." 



Hmm...... Robert, I must say you are indeed a joker.  What are school girls doing with stocks and shares.  They should be in schools preparing for their exams.  I think I've had enough.  Cheers.

 

hey Robert,

Do tell us what good and cheap lobangs you bought in the coming week(s) alright? =) interesting =)

Peace

 

haha.. really entertaining.. =)

 

Yo Robert,

I think you better don?t listen to those Ah Sohs at the market. They like to use the I-Ching and shaking the yarrow stalks for predicting the stocks they buy. So far they have been lucky due to this super bull.

 

l-tan888, you are right, if that happens I may have to pack my bag and migrate to Aussie land too:)

 Peace

 

The best place to learn share investment is at Seng Kang wet market.Just open your ears and you won't go wrong.Mr Robert, we are waiting for more tips from you.

 

Hi Robert,



Hm....I don't even learn from analysts or fund managers. Let alone aunties or school girls.*hehe*



All the best! 

 

Livermore,



But I prefer to learn from rich tai tais and housewife the art of buying low selling high. My great piece of advise to you, learn from the aunties or school girls.



ps I have been sharing too much info to you all...

 

Robert,



I'm skeptical about getting tips from housewives or tais tais.

 

harryp,



Common sense will tell you that SIA will never go below $5, either forthcoming or in the future.  Otherwise, LKY will need another stent bypass in NZ or Australia next week.

 

Hi Robert

Buy low sell high is a common method. I started shares in that way but not any more.But my style is different from most people:).



I have exslained before in my earlier posts that just focussing on buy low sell high  is not neccesarily the best way. My strategy is quite similar to some investment books I have read.



Anyway good luck to all!

 

harryp,

Fantastic. Yeah! And that is the tip I overheard from not 1 but many many housewifes from the wet market in Seng Kang. Maybe next time I should move to shopping malls to get great tips from rich tai tais! Just buy low sell high you won't go wrong my friend.

& Harmony

 

Yo Robert,

 

Thanks for sharing your the secrets and tips. Are you expecting that SIA and Capitaland to crashed to below $5 as earlier you considered anything above $5 is expensive and not buying low anymore in your post 17-Mar-2007 23:44 ?

 

 

Peace

 

Really "top grade" posts by Skslim and Hohokit!!... :)

Real value-added comments!!!

 

Hi Robert,buy after the crash you mean was the last correction or is there a major correction on the way?

 

I can see the enthuthesium in some of our fellow forumers here. Ok let me give you one tip... buy SIA or Capitaland after the crash. Buying low selling high.

ps I normally dun reveal my secrets early in the morning.

 

I strongly agree with lausk22 

Today's Low is Tomorrow's High
or
Today's High is Tomorrow's Low

Of course to make money u have to sell at a price higher than what u bought. But the difficulty is in knowing which direction the stock price will move. Low prices could go lower and high prices could go higher

However, the price of a stock by itself is not a good indicator of its worth. There are many cheap penny stocks but their values may drop further especially in trying times like this. And sometimes when a stock is "expensive'' by Robert's definition, ie >$5, the dividends and capital gains may be even more significant in percentage and in absolute amount.

No hard and fast rules or answers, if not everyone would be a millionaire! Must admit though that it is also important to feel market sentiment. But you will notice that no two men are identically alike. So for every one person that says it will go up, there's always someone else who says the reverse. Will have to decide for yourself as it's your money.

Whichever method one adopts, do be careful and realise that the stock market is a zero sum game. So for everyone that wins, there will be someone to lose.

Let's hope that everyone on SJ will be winners and able to make good decisions and good profits in any market condition.

Sorry for the long response. Couldnt sleep cos took too much coffee! ; )

 

 

Robert,



"Buy low sell high" is common sense in all successful business strategy, not only in the share market.  Everybody knows and also wants to practice that.  Why don't you recommend some viable stocks for our analysis and consideration instead? 

 

Another a great tip I heard from a housewife... chasing hot IPOs is the best, how? You must buy it before other jokers buy it so when the price shoots up, you sell, again this is buy low sell high strategy.

 

I understand young man, for good advise is hard to swallow, just read more and slowly gain some experiences. Like what confusion taught us " a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" slowly build up your knowledge of buying low & selling high, then in future you will thank me for this piece of valuable advise.

p/s I gain my knowledge from many wisdoms from supermarkets to shopping malls to fish markets..

Just focus on buying low selling high you won't go wrong young man.
