World cup has been my only attention currently. And just checked my portfolio today. Down 18% YOY. It's so hard to time the market's bottom.

I would like to quote Warrent Buffet's on this, "If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians."

I wonder C, BAC and FAS will rebound? ANybody have any idea? I'm locked in at 4.54$, 18.72$ and 26.50$ respectively. These stocks r killing my portfolio.

Why so on year end? Any ideas? Y let FAS go? if financial sector were to rebound, I think FAS would be the most rebound exposure. I've not been keeping up with news on the financial sector cause I was concentrating on tech. And I didn't check my portfolio for a month+ till last week.

Danmooncake, are you familiar with the futures market? I find equities not exciting enough. I tend to scalp a lot.

With Fed printing about 600$ billion. Any suggestion of stocks to capture this new bull run?

Are you recommending to dabble in commodities futures? Any ETFs or stocks to recommend? I just need ideas. Thanks Dan for the prompt reply.

I'd say ride the wave. Main street investors like the story. Trim off profit everytime there's a weakness?

I just have a small stake in it unlike some big guns here that can trade at multiple times of mine. I was in on almost the opening price on the 2nd that it trade. My strategy is to sell my base stake once it has some weakness and then let the profit ride itself OR sell before its first quarter earnings. Then, short it before the results and then buy on the dips? I think Youku has the most potential in online video distributorship compared to Tudou.

Well, I don't know much as so many in house experts here like danmooncake, sulifeisgreat and zamans98. What'd ya guys think? I'm in because of the speculative play.

Yes, the PA is very very strong. However, it simmered down today. I sold off my base and riding on profits. Could have lock in at 48$ but I was outside of my trading platform (dating, lol) and could only check the price. Sigh, oh well! A gain is better than no gain.

I would suggest that you find distressed stocks for sale to wait for their recovery as it would be a much enterprising option rather than buying broad based ETFs. An example, like BP dropping to more than 50% of its value during the Gulf spill crisis.

Congrats, Dan! It closed above 50dma yesterday and today's up almost 46$?

Same here. Didn't know it's quadriple witching day till rosdi1 point out. Should've lock my calls on LVS and out. Oh well.

You can buy as little as 1 share? They don't do it in lots like in bursa.

Yes, interactive broker's nice. Unless you got 20ku$ and more to shell, I think it's the best broker out there?

Yeah. Am wondering when will LVS reach 50$?

Still holding, it's been playing at the 20 EMA line.

Dan, If I may ask, what are you waiting for?

Dan,
Doubt it. Opened red today. Sigh, my Jan 11 Calls.

Jan 11 50$ and 45$ calls. Now, it looks like RED SEA in my portfolio.
