Multiple skills trading in stocks, Forex, commodities, option ..etc..etc How to FOCUS and gain good ROI ?

1. Dividends(some qrtrly/half yearly) payout will be bank-in into broker trading trust account in that country currency value..
In the future, if u buy share, it will deduct the purchase from the trust trading account.. If the trust trading acct is insufficient $$,
you cannot buy shares(cost) more than your trading account .. You wire transfer (TT) into the trust trading acct. In forex, use leverage ratio.

2. Depending on the user-friendly function of the platform, cost/fees charge, alert/notification/timer by email, smartphone apps,
investors breaking news/recommendation/guide/advice given .. MANY ppls want cheapest cost/fees like TRADE KING usd 4.95 per transaction, right.
For me, i like great alert/notification/timer when the stock reaches/touch certain overbought/overvalue/margin of safety .. For investor, cost fee is not the important matter, as investor seek for long-term holding..Hardly use many put/call (for trader ) and occurred many transaction fees..

Are you a good patience person and got the ability to have long-term holding power? What USA stocks are in your /colleague's mind now that you want to share with all forumers here?? e.g
J&J, MCD, KO, LVS, MGM, BAC, BZH, AA, XL, MPEL, LYG, AAPL, KEY, LSI, NOK, TXN ..etc..etc

Ask yourself, do you really need the stock to lock profit or not ?
Do u need to use the profit and $$$ for cash holding for future opportunity, FD, landed property, business ..etc ..
Otherwise, let the stock grow yr net worth and WORK EVEN HARDER for you..

Note: usually all ppls worked very hard for money.. Why not, let the money work even harder for you ?

Using company property to trade own business? Better u stop from doing it..

Your situation is same as mine, as my MNC company in Ampang + Melaka
got superb network bandwidths directly to Silicon Valley and Dallas.
Even the company's network bandwidth is great, there is always an authentication record,
system LDAP logs, computer cache records, firewalls details, that prove/show your "whole"
personal / business activities, FYI and some software has "cloned" /replica of your
computer. In my MNC, they were 50 IT Security ppls 100% responsible
just to monitor yr emails/email attachments/temporary internet files/caches,wall paper ..etc..etc

Subscribe to OWN local broadband internet service provider ( cost ~ rm200 monthly ) and surf / trade like king
without any restriction/worry abt using company property for own business and subject to displinary/termination action if found guilty?

LVS upgraded Upgraded Source and will see Q3 Earning reporting on coming Thursday. Same dividends or special dividends?

NBG = not bad too. C Q3 Earnings -

As long as FED continuous its quantitative easing(QE), relatively stock will continue to be uptrend..Don't fight against the FED.
In future, FED will taper and reduce QE, increase interest rate 5x-7x and hence, it is time to exit/short ..

ETRADE is my 1st USA broker account as I got share options/Restricted Share Units and I'm able to
purchase my MNC company share at 15% discount given to employee, which deducted thru monthly salary up to 10% of basic salary
accum and company purchase share for employee every 6 months.

For Q2 as investor
In my previous experience, i buy and sell share using ETRADE broker.. Seldom withdrawal as the fees are expensive and
need to know the conversion rate. Keep yr $ in the trust account.Any future share purchase transaction,
will be deducted from yr trust account / available balance..If you continue TT in and out into yr trust account,
conversion rate fluctuate and bank fees TRADE KING charge usd 4.95 per transaction.

For Q1 + Q3, let the trader share their experience.

USA Govt Shutdown + Potential Credit Rating Agency Downgrade = Market Uptrend.
AAA ==>> AA- ( Still very STRONG Credit Rating ). Most importantly, cheap printing money is
helping stock to move higher. Nasdaq is in 13 years high, and this year 2013 alone, has up 22% ..

AWESOME !! ==> LVS Q3 Earnings

Yup, continuous cheap printing money may help stocks move uptrend too.
Seem like tapering will delay to end of 1st Qtr 2014 after next Debt Ceiling solution and got clear
robust economic data to act..

You are lazy to search..

Not Intel.. Share Options/RSU is limited there and ONLY applicable for senior mgr and above level.

Present Headquarter MNC company is in Dallas, Texas.. In Msia, got 2x manufacturing plants
at Ampang and Melaka. In Melaka plant, it was another previous MNC company HQ in Santa Clara, California
for more than 50 yrs before the present 3rd world biggest semiconductor bought it by paying 76% EXTRA premium
of the share price during the take-over.. Small listed MNC companies gave many many share options/RSU/Success/Profit Sharing
compared to big big listed company.. Out of topic here. Not related per thread topic..

FYI. Out of topic here.. But, last word on this matter below.
Many MNC in Msia.. Last time ETRADE and Charles Schwab brokers,
now using UBS brokerage.
Not Intel, It is National Semiconductor Corp( NSC) last time and bought over by Texas Instruments Corp (TXN)
last 2 years ago. Additional = Bought share for employee every 6 months, for the share price is lowest
in 1 year timeframe at 15% discount during NSC time.

Many MNC companies practiced similar, as long as it got listed in NYSE/Nasdaq/AMEX ..
For Siemens/Infineon ..etc listed in Frankfurt/DAX/FTSE ..etc , also quite attractive benefits..
Stop this topic, as out of scope. Source = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor...leaders_by_year

Market will switch back 1 hr late trading (starts 10:30pm Msia time) today due to the end of day light saving.
However, Market will start day light saving early 1 hr trading (starts 9:30pm Msia time) on March 9th 2014.

http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html

Year-to-Year = DJIA , S & P, Nasdaq were up more than 20%

Seem like normal/usual Time for profit-taking for certain traders/medium-term investors ?
For long-term investors like WB and the rest, they just ignore this noise..

Already record high and ROI year-to-year is excellent so far..

My view:-
1. Hold tight yr ALL present portfolios and be optimitic for long-term, as the interest rate is still low plus
still got cheap money printing. Perhaps, u may think to lock some profits/sell a bit counters that
are not perfoming well or non-dividend counter.

2. No need to chase any counter now. Continue saving yr year end BONUS/CNY BONUS
till SUMMER FIFA WORLD CUP 2014 BRAZIL .. Prepare for year-end holiday, X'mas, Jan 2014 CNY..
During WORLD CUP June/July 2014, expects market volume is very low / thin especially during 2nd round, qrtr final, semi-final ..
Analysis and Grab counter with low P/e ratio or good financial ratios counter or VIX > 25 ..

Did anyone analyst Stock Market for the past FIFA FOOTBALL WORLD CUP? Do u know the stock market trend during world cup
for the last 20 years? Be different compared with others and hope you will gain good ROI.

Watch LVS.. Grew more than 50 fold since 2009.

Many of my friends bought it between usd 1.50 to usd 2.30 in March 2009 , and 1/4 still hold it as today..
Lowest in history = usd 1.38 .. Highest in history = usd 148 .. I'm very fortunate to get it at usd 1.45 BUT
i denied telling my friends. Told them just a few units bought at usd 1.80 - usd2..

Calculation = usd 1.50 => 75 = 50 fold, right? Will history repeats to usd 148 again?
NOTE :- usd 148 high in year 2007 is without the latest and newest Macau and Marina Bay resorts.. With new facilities, will the record breaks ? From usd 75 to usd 148 = half road to go ? My own Expectation target = usd200 Yield Dividend abt ~ 2.8 - 3% presently.
