When alot of people says this stock is selling at low price... that means it's time to buy. When alot of people says this stock is too expensive.. sell! It's that simple, buy low sell high! Alot of people say there is going to be a crash soon, so wait to buy low. Buy stocks which is cheap $0.05 - $0.10 is consider cheap, $1 and above is ok, $5 and above is consider expensive. I hope this help u all to gain some tips, I normally don't share this secret, but I see u all are so keen in learning so I dun mind sharing...

Common market parlance:

Today's Low is Tomorrow's High

or

Today's High is Tomorrow's Low

hahaha...

Everyone agrees and believes in ... "Buy Low, Sell High"...

from the greatest fund managers to the fresh 'stock market graduate'... :)

So everyone should simply buy low and sell high...  :)

I must admit Elfin's view in her short post below is full of wisdom and good guidance to all... :)

Though she has only recently accsued me of 'flaming' someone, I still don't get it... I mean why should Elfin be angry (I sense from her post) with me at all???... was it an act of "flaming"?  ... :(

More than 2 years ago, I read a report from a prominent investment firm predicting crude oil price will drop to US$40 a barrel. Crude oil price has not gone anywhere near that price more than 2 years after that report.



One of the criteria Warren Buffet is looking for in his successor is an independent mind. It is important to think independently when investing

Well said. This strategy is not for any Tom, Dick or Harry. It is through careful research and analysis and experience and more importantly  with a bit of gut and luck that one is able to make money during a market in turmoil.

When investing, it is important to read widely. Contrary to what some say, not all news reported are "late news". The information available on company's performance, results and prospects in the future are all available on the internet. Even information on insider trades can be seen on the internet. In one particular company, its employees starting buying from its company director at 70c. A investment fund was also accumulating this particular company shares at around the same price range. The share shot up tremendously due to good results. So information on insider trades are again not nessarily "late news".
Don't believe everything that analysts or fund manager report BUT also don't totally disregard what they write. Some people say when a company has a buy rating, it is too late to buy. Well true and false. Look at Cosco. It has went throught many buy re-ratings. So if you had bought from its initial buy rating, you would have made money.
If you have more knowledge, you are in a better position to make a "informed decision". Otherwise, you would be just following the "crowd". In the article "Luck's not random it favours the prepared" in the Sunday Times on March 11, 2007, Bill Byrne pointed out."Prepare your mind for success. Achievement is like athletics. It requires preparation to win. Read aggressively.
So whether it is work or investment, to me acquiring knowledge is one important key to success. That is something nobody can take away from you.

perhaps not the easiest... need to qn the definition of what's high, what's low, for each stock, and moreover, for each specific timeline you're looking at.

what's low in a bull market may very well be high in a bear market. newcomers to investing, pls be careful yea....

But it is an art to know when to seize the opportunities to buy low and when to sell high that distinguish the novices and the experts

Buying low and selling high is the easiest thing to do! Even a little school girl can do it. Everybody can do it.
