on a separated matter, do you guys think its wise to borrow money to invest?

i always get calls from credit card center asking me if i wanna borrow money with really low interest rate. some 2.7% per annum. real tempting but the first lesson i learn in investing was, never borrow money to invest. so, i always reject those offer

based on which comment or what reason? sorry

but lets say, i borrow to invest in shares probably medium to long term. do you think its still a good way to do it? anyone here done that before? coz i read books written by real successful traders, alot of them had very bad start and some eventually declared bankrupt. alot of them borrowed too.

i always miss opportunity due to lack of funds. wanna borrow from parents or siblings but feel damn bad. wanna borrow from bank, im worried financially i cannot handle. so in the end i always let these opportunity slip pass.

p.s. sorry for bragging or ranting about this. i just hoping you guys here can share your opinions

to me selling is always the hardest part. when profiting, greed kicks in. when losing, false hope kicks in

anyhow, i take profit by chart pattern. some people by PE ratios, a percentage of profits and lots more.

me, i diversify my capital into 2. one long term play, another medium or short (seldom).

long term, i set a target for at least 1 year. let the profit run like boon3 said. but i will monitor it too from time to time as i want my money to be efficient too. profiting the most in the shortest time. if the stocks doesnt run as smooth as expect i will find another one who i think can. with target cut loss too. i set 10% cut loss with min of 20% a year profit.

short to medium term usually i trade according to the counter i been monitoring closely all these while. e.g MBSB, CBIP, PADINI. up to now, only less than 20. very seldom i trade counter that i dont know or i dont monitor from a daily basis. i also look into the fundamental into this counter just to make sure they are financially healthy. and usually this, i dont have a fix TP too. totally by chart pattern. if i see that its peak according to technical chart, then i sell.

im not sure if you guys calculate profit/duration ratio, but i do. just to keep a record, so i always have an objective to break it. my fastest record was CBIP, if not mistaken 20% profit in slightly less than 2 months.

aside that, yes, sometimes emotions kick in, but thanks to my busy day job, this becomes lesser as i dont have time for emotions

p.s. this is solely my strategy of trading and might not suit you. please consult your agent for more info

yes, maxis has higher speed with a cheaper price tag but without hypp TV. some people like me really do use their hyppTV service.

maxis coverage is very very limited at the moment. only in high dense area like KL, PJ and i think subang is also covered. if my area have, then sure i sapu mia

i use Unifi because of its speed and at the moment no quota.

btw, talking about TM, i think its time to jump off the boat liau. too risky to play. if the approval get approve, i dont know where TM price will go

yeah, same bandwidth but yet, when i look through maxis website, i found out coverage is limited. but why when i sign up Unifi, they said only 1 year. im poor too, that why i use my unifi to the max, 24 hours download. every month have around 100gb kot. but getting lesser coz dont have idea what to download

should have short KFLI yesterday. but unfortunately didnt have the balls. called broker liau, but no balls

like yesterday?

FKLI seems rebounding

second attempt at 36.5. my heart tell me long after greece got green light

still longing FKLI

waiting for it to hit 1640

me, totally opposite. what i gain in stocks, im losing in futures now. im paying my tuition fees to learn futures

i paid around RM5k to learn stocks. hopefully i pay lesser to start profiting from futures. LOL

mix actually. i look at RSI, Mac D, Stochastic, Bollinger Band, Parabolic Stop/Reversal, EMA 7, 14, 21, 30, 60, 90, 120, 200, support, resistance.

and ultimately, fundamental. i play stock using fundamental mostly, then only see where to enter using technical.

i actually, look at chart and try to find a pattern of indicator that it always follow. eg. counter ABC, using MacD and RSI very accurate, then i will solely use those 2 indicator until the pattern breaks. so eventually, every counter have different indicator to trigger buy or sell.

and i kinda learn trend analysis not long ago. still studying that though

btw, RM5k i need to work 2 months to get

poor guy salary
