paying "school fees" is one thing, bt hw we "manage"/compose oneself after the payment is quite important.. why we had to made that "payment" due to wat reasons? and so on... most important is to constantly upgrade n read widely, and be very resourceful in wanting to find out anything.. if one paid school fees and still not "learning the right way", then he/she can continue made payment until doctorate liao..
I agree with student,my first contra lost 3k++.......

Stock trading is a dangerous undertaking for those who have not yet paid the "schools fees".
"School fees" refers to the usually substantial sums one will have to lose in the course of one's foray into the stock market, perhaps over a period of say, 10 years.
In this regard, if one starts out and makes a lot of money as a result of tips given out by an experienced veteran, it may turn out to be an unfortunate thing because unless that veteran continues to give those tips (calls) throughout that person's foray, he will not have learned the ropes himself.

elmo0 n taybc1071,
For Rayphua, seach this forum for his post and look for a squeeze thread. I believe you can use the search function here.. either search under Rayphua's name or try to look for the thread directly.
For Victorian, you must read all his posts.. they are all very informative and useful (all serious stuff). Recently he started sharing out fishes using threads under the title "Victorian Secret 1..2...3...etc....
For others, just ask at this forum directly. There are many helpful and experienced traders here...
Hope this helps and have a nice day....

hi harryp, where can I look for Victorian's stock recommendations?
hi sir ,,were can i look for Rayphua and victorian, if i have some questions
Here is my short cut advise for you to start trading immediately while you learn the rope slowly. The money you make now can be used to pay school fees as they are not cheap nowadays....
1. If you have the capital and can hold long term, follow Victorian's stock recommendation.... sure win one.
2. If you want to play short term swing trades, follow Rayphua's call... pow chia one.... but you have to be quick and know how to cut loss if necessary.
3. If you want to find out future trends, ask Singaporegal.... most of the time zhun zhun one.
4. For Market wisdom, look for ten4one....
Hope this helps and have a nice day....

jamestay11, victorian's threads tells u where to look for the good fishs (good FA stocks). As for How to fish, you have to pick up TA or FA yourself. Another really easy to read book for invoices to read is 'Handbook for Stock Investors" by goh kheng chuan. very cheap only 18bucks. go find in borders got or not. as for websites for TA,try http://www.investopedia.com/university/technicalanalysis/ (recommended by singaporegal). if you want to read analysis reports if ur broker do not email u everyday,go http://www.remisiers.org/research.html

Judging by the huge attendance charged by the gurus, it is not hard to see that
the gurus (particularly the passionate ones) don't need to play the stock market themselves anymore.
It is more sensible and so much more profitable for them to concentrate all their energy on "making others rich" by conducting or (or assisting) assisting the seminars/courses.
(I have no doubt that the more obscure gurus who occasionally reveal their secret market methods in their sessions are benefitting others) .
Hey, this is really wonderful, man...
ten4one does it again!
That bit of wisdom from him is so valuable that we must all gather around him,
treat him nice coffee, and ask for more of the same.

I'll take hime as my "sifu" anytime...
Read and enjoy the reading and don't try to be a Warren Buffet or a George Soro 'cos you'll perform and understand better being yourself. Understand the Stock Markets and learn how they work - the more you understand with knowledge accumulated from the experience the better you'll be. Noting beats experiences - YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES!
Only 'play' with money you can afford to lose ALWAYS!
I agree with the reading but what to READ first? I would recommend that you start with thoroughly understanding MONEY MANAGEMENT.
Go to the NLB and borrow the book below. You may be bored if you hate maths but I simple loves this book.
Title: The Trading Game
Author: Ryan Jones
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc
Once you master all the Fixed Ratio Trading, Fixed Fractional Trading etc and have the EDGE on your MONEY Management then start to TRADE.
Forget about paper trading. Paper trade only on the trading platform you intend to use to trade. Essentially to get a familiarization of the trading platform.
Paper trade will NEVER subsitute REAL trading since REAL money is not involved thus the emotion factor will never be there. With paper trade you will never know the REAL feeling of LOSING and also the REAL feeling of WINNING.
Lookup Victorian to learn about Fundamental Analysis (FA) and SingaporeGirl about Technical Analysis (TA) on stocks.
Start observing around you and notice companies and corporations that have direct and/or indirect impact to your life. Determine if these companies have values or add values to societies or yourself and ask if you would like to own part of it. If so, ADD to your desire to want to own the stock of that company/corporation.
Use the money management strategy decribed in the book together with the TA/FA and good observation and start REAL trading.
Good luck~
Just to add on to the list of things to do:
Nowadays, there are many adverts in the local newspapers on trading on the stock market.
Go for their previews and get a general intro ... and then .... (see below ) : )
Read online Business Times, buy The Edge if you really serious in stocks. Go for a TA course like TerraSeeds or chartnexus. Make more like-minded friends who can guide or advise u in stocks n bring u right in track. Then do what tanglinboy say for continuous improvement. u will learn something new everyday.
Read the forum, read books, play with paper money before investing for real.
Hi i'm new to investing, can someone advise me or any nice tip to intro..
