Moppy, do you really think Greece can even escape from being a bankrupt? Seems that whether they default or not is just a rhetorical question.

Teach them? Heh I think they are the ones expecting but feeding us bullshit to keep the hype up for them to sell off.

Hmmm looks like we might have a Wednesday sales again.

I seriously hope they will stop increasing tax for these goods. It's a proven fact smokers don't stop due to costs, they just switch to cheaper or contraband stocks. At the end, legit companies lose and government coffers lose. Winners are illegal sellers and smugglers.

The mortgage calculation is a good thing for the housing market, not a bad thing as so many people feared. Housing prices will be reigned in and stabilized. Zeti is a visionary.

HSI not open yet ler.

Wow I was busy the whole morning and just saw the news on Bloomberg KLCI already 1400 points.

Can't wait whats in store in the 2nd session.

Capital preservation is always key in the case of highly volatile call warrant trading where you will ultimately lose all your investments if the timing is bad. Since all call warrants has some sort of lifetime attached to it. But for stocks which is built on stronger fundamentals, they might suffer depreciation but not complete loss.

So for stocks, the main reason for cut loss is to ensure your 'capital' as in your funds can be re-invested to the market at a more appropriate time to make a profit again. It does not necessarily mean your initial capital when you first started but instead your ability to continue the fight another day. If you did not cut loss, you might be in a less advantageous position (less funds) to re-enter a favorable trade in the future when the market is up.

If it makes you feel better, everyone else is also suffering the same fate.

Hmmm I can't say I can advise you one this because I'm not a firm believer in cutting loss. But since you're 100% in stocks I can understand the dilemma you're going through. Hope our forum sifus can help you come to a decision. But try not to make a panic decision.

Pana, are you planning to top up JTI?

Just hope our stomach no twist enough. haha

Come to think of it, KLCI did not really drop that much compared to regional peers. Although individual stocks might take a bigger hit or completely escape from it.

Because it's fun to tell ghost stories when you're camping in the jungle late at night.

Wow Affin really looking delicious now. Coastal also looking yummy.

I have this weird feeling every time these bear times comes, though now not as strong a feeling as before.

I thought it was butterflies in my stomach like when 1st time in love or running in a race, then I realised it was adrenaline in my veins or uncontrolled excitement. I like this feeling.

I'm wondering why gogo2 opened a new "stock market thread v99"?

Yeah he escaped from OPCOM and TDM with monthly highs if not mistaken. Good move from him.

Red and sad.

I bet you're glad you sold your TDM and OPCOM huh?

I'm ok la, my stocks though need some loving.

Almost entered more OPCOM as my 2nd batch but held back due to bad sentiments, looks like I saved a few sens per share on that one. But the rest painful to see profit melting away.

Yup, been through it in 2007/8 before already so quite immune. Already learned not to hold counters without stronger fundamentals, so this time the psychological effect is much lesser.

/pat pat to you too pana.

Today checking in late again and surprised yet again haha. Looks like this morning got a bit of panic selling before some recovery.

Today Friday I cannot buy ler... later weekend will be boring and stressed.


I read someone was asking for a joke to lighten the mood. Here is one to share with your partner.

"Researchers have concluded in a study among men that days starting with 'T' is the best time to have intercourse. Days such as Tuesday, Thursday, Triday, Taturday, Tunday etc."
