Just to add,
If company closed shop, then is like buying a piece of toilet paper.

Any company management board don't run the company sincerely, as minority shareholders better don't touch the stock, as minoirty shareholders have no protection at all.

Company management board should be taking care of company profitability, not share price.
If company profitability is taken care of and registered good result and giving good dividend to shareholders, share price automatically will go up without a single sweat.

A good company management never care about daily share price, but caring how well the company is running to generate profit.

Just my opinoin/view.

Apple? Google?

If google, then DJ movement will be dictated by google as DJ index is computed based on price weight, not capitalisation weight (which norm for other bourses including KLCI).

The higher price of the DJ components move the index more.

For goreng or short term trading,
there is no such thing of price too high, what you look for is price differentiation between you buy and sell.

In fact gorenging KNM at 80 cents is safer than 40 cents back then, because at 80 cents time, the market is on the way up aka bullish sentiment, which chance of share price to go up is higher at 80 cents compared to 40 cents back then.

Market has some trend for awhile before changing the tone.
It won't change overnight, but it definitely will if it is going too far beyond the fundamental issue that can support the share price.

I don't think you should feel happy when your stock go reverse insteand go up in line with general market tone.

Unless you are intended to so long term investing one.

Buying a stock for short term trading that going opposite direction with the market is not a good idea.

My 2 cents.

I am surprise the still a lot of people buying Idaman at 0.02 or 0.025.

For MRCB, it is a political linked stock, which is well known in market place already.

Resort at 2.85 is equivalent to 14.25. Not to mention there are some bonus issue in between.
It is not like they are falling from 15.00 to 2.85.

Not enough bullet then earn the bullet lor

On one hand earn the bullet (work on core job/business etc), on the other hand let available bullet to generate bullet for you through steady way (investment).

Everyday in and out, you earn bullet for your remisiers.

Don't look down small small sum, lama lama jadi bukit. You know remisiers could earn few k up to few ten K from you if continous in and out market daily. By then after 10 years plus, it could be near 100K commission gone simply contra or daily transaction which is no guarantee you are making money through the daily transaction.

Previous day of transaction and trend has been signalling big sellers were/are disposing.

Reits are old man stock which has little room for upside. It is like FD only.

Take 10 years can earn 1 million, not enough meh.

Wealth accumulation and grow is a long term process, you cannot expect to earn 1 million by dipping in stock market in matter of months of few years.

Average return from stock market over the long term is 10~20%. It is the compounding force that is powerful enough to make one rich.

You have 50K, first year earn 15%, seems quite small sum, but compounding it over 10 years, powerful liao. By then your base (bullets) become more already.

Realistic return (average) is in this range 10-20%

If burn the 200K then take another 10 years to build back the 200K, so wasted the 10 years effort.

Don't look down the loss you made, it could destroy your previous effort and hardwork.

I made 10% from 200K become 220K, but you loss 200K in one shot (burned), I am ahead of you 10 years, another mistake done, become 20 years.

That's why Warren Buffett stated never lose the capital is the key. Once lose, you need 2x effort which you can't guarantee you can make money through the 2x effort.

It just split 1-2 years ago with 5:1 ratio. So current price you need to X 5 to back or equivalent prior 2007 year of its price.

so 2.85 x 5 = 14.25.

It never ever fall from 15 to 2.85 or 4.40.

It is a pirate ship this morning.

We better don't hope oil price at USD140.

Whatever gain in your stocks not enough to offset the inflation.

We lose more than gain.

This is academic term, look good on paper, and talk so easy.

Reality and practically, not applicable, tak boleh pakai.

Rally just started, sold already, mana boleh.

Just like KNM, rally started from 0.3x, then "sell on rally" so sold after 0.4x, lose opportunity. Then from 1.00 dip to 0.90 "buy on dips."

Good ar??

What to scare, we come down from 1500 to 800 also like that lah. Life goes on. As long as holding good stocks that still able paying dividend year in year out in a sustainable way, nothing to worry.

7xx, scare?

Peanut only if had seen KLCI from 1300 to 2xx.

Still those buying good stocks at 1300 level back that time, they are making money now as those individual stocks are even much higher now compared last time even though KLCI is still not yet breakeven. But not applicable to lousy and goreng-goreng.

I don't like company directors gorenging their own shares. Time and effort should be spent on taking care of company business operation, looking for business opportunity, taking care of shareholders benefit, instead trying to goreng and making money through own stocks.

If a company is indeed profitable and able to generate return and wealth to the shareholders, directors as shareholders would love to hold their own stake intact or even more instead throwing out their share in the open market.

Company should be suspended and delisted if company is losing all its shareholders fund aka negative equity already. Because it worth nothing at that time, but only liability.

It is normal for directors to dispose share, yup, quite correct. It is an open and fair market, anyone can sell their stake or buy. But why directors want to sell their own stake if company is highly profitable? That's the ultimate question because company management board is the one can forsee the company future and having all the details about the situation of company business currently.

I don't know but I sense tired bull out there, although bear is not around.
