QUOTE(danmooncake @ Oct 28 2011, 04:32 AM) Well, there where two major crashes when I was in market. I've survived the dot com bust in 00/01 and housing bubble crash in 08/09. My concern is if the broker closes down/bankrupt, will you lose your money?My portfolio took quite a beating in 00/01 but in 08/09, I rode the bear and bulls later when it recovers. Everything came back more than double. So, no fear. |

indeed it was a great FUG. It was unprotected fugging all the way and took a medium risk playing call options no balls to play high risk ie. futures I m looking to gamble on some shorts/ puts option, taking a look over the weekend, due to the sudden dog jones spike "not uncommon for stocks to suddenly spike up in a straight shot with heavy volume and then stop, roll at the top, exhausted..." only for traders and those using TA http://books.google.com.my/books?id=6eyy4P...epage&q&f=false QUOTE(simonc @ Oct 28 2011, 10:50 AM) AIYO! which bunker u were hiding in? u miss out on all the fun & 'money cannot buy' experience outlook remains superb since 26 sep 2011 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2042861/+60 Post #61 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2042861/+120 Post #137 salute the IIVC members as they brave the onslaught and pick up valuable experience instead of hiding QUOTE(zamans98 @ Oct 28 2011, 10:20 AM) |

Z: Don't worry.. the market is always here.Now hide in the bunker. Out of 5 LONG position prior to crash, only 1 recovered, AMD Others like SLV, AGQ and GLD are quite near to entry price. One dead stock is SPRINT (S) I always have a exit strategy. I won't tolerate more than 15%~20% loss. If more than that, it means I'm wrong, better exit and play again with remaining capital. When playing with options, one really need to be extra careful because they're not stocks. Time can kill 'em. Use them as hedging tool or amplifying tool when you've confidence. Just bail when something ain't right. Always can come back another day. Looking back: Sept: Best time to play bear Oct: Best time to play bull (although I have been cautiously long only till SP 1220 only). These two months, I've made more than last 6-8 months in earlier part of the year because of the volatility. The bulls have earnings season to help them.. so, afaik, it is going to wind down in about two weeks. Looking forward: Now that the EU crisis is temporarily over, time to take a look at the banks. The bulls will take 'em higher. If financials rally, everything will rise.. commodities, etc.. Good luck to all, may we all continue to make money.

QUOTE(jerrychoo2004 @ Oct 28 2011, 10:27 PM) bro DMC...what is the recommended price to let go of my LVS? When to sell is really a tough call. For me, I have always take some profits and let some of them ride up till my trailing stops hit, then buy back again when it dives.it is shooting up like nobody business now lol....so happy ^^ For LVS, I'm still holding on my 1K long shares (now averaging $30) and selling cover calls every other week to lower down my cost. Also, scalping calls/puts when within this range: 36-44-50 area. There are quite a bit of supply to soak up at around $50-$52 (resistance). Looking over its earnings.. I think this time LVS could break that $50-$52 barrier if the general market wants to reclaim that May high spot before year end. Q3 earnings been good for LVS. Q4 could be even better because of the holidays in China. The slowdown in China were major concerns but they still gamble like nobody business. Singapore MBS rolled in record profits. Pretty astounding so far.. no recession fear in Singapore. I hope LVS can go to $80 in the future, so I may buy myself a brand new car or pay off my house.
