Try to guess ma.....

give more tipsy...i noob a haha

Aiyoooo....

When you are forced to trade less, trust me, you will THINK deep deep before you buy/sell.










GP now 52 sen.
Scroll back few pages and see the 495.

haha, shark's mind games.. we wont know what happen next =D

yala...i always think it will rise more when it come up!!!

there's no way to predict cases like GP... left pun salah, right pun salah wan.
and no amount of charts also can predict.
its either can take risk, eat risk, or shit risk

btw until now duno what boon3's portfolio is like. how many/what counters are you holding? share share abit

Sorry but nothing to share.

Share opinions, no problem.

Actually, if you try to predict the short term movement for GP, I would be first to say that it's difficult.

However, the longer picture, it's not so difficult, it's doable.

Let's forget about the 605 exit.
It's past.

More recent one, I posted here on Friday saying that '495 would have been a good price'.
Let's see what happens..... hope I am left, right, top, bottom and behind also salah.

my humble opinion. it's not doable when the counter is being manipulated.
495 also can crash if they want it to or skyrocket oso can. "they" can make charts deceiving. no one would know any better.
goes back to my earlier rants last time on no regulation.
i can't remember who said this, but someone said, if want to "play" gpacket play many rounds also can.

Learning jor!

Of course, I totally agree with the manipulation issue but isn't this what this exercise is all about?

I very rarely trade speculative counters and this GP is no exception but for the sake of the exercise, I had share it 'live' here that I thought 495 would be a good entry point.
That's my humble opinion.
Of course it could crash and my exit position, admitting that I screw the tradewould have been 485.
In fact, any stocks, good or bad, could also 'crash' after we buy.
That's a possibility.

Remember, I am one who do not trade short and I have publicly acknowledged that I am no 10 min trader..
I can't play that game because that's something I am not good at.
Why trade or shall I use the word GAMBLE on something I know I am not good at?

And regarding those who declare they make many rounds.
Congratulations to them.
Well done.
But I am certainly no many rounder and I have no intention to be one.

If you think being a many rounder is a good objective, all the best to you.

i think those with balls of steel only can go many rounds or those who have extra info that public dont

how long do you hold your shares for on average? is there any gauge to this?

TBH, I don't put a time limit on when I have to sell and I really have not kept track of my holding period.
I am focused on 2 issues.
Fundamentals and then charts.

Again, there's no holy grail.
Recently I got hit the following manner.
I was up 35% on a stock.
Stock earnings came in very bad.
Hardly any profit.
From a growth stock to become an almost losing money stock.
Got out with a 35% profit.
Stock fell almost 20%. (forgot precisely how much, maybe it was 18% or so)

Felt like a smartie pants for getting out.

I felt like buying back actually.
But there was no justification.

Chart hinted at me when the stock recovered back 10%.
The charts kept flashing.


I disregarded it.
Simply because I never felt smart being forced to commit to a trade just cos the chart said so.

So I declined the opportunity.

Stock today?
It's up almost 15% from where I sold and I could have gotten a nice tidy profit if I went back in.

Well?

Many times, fundamentals do help a lot in telling where and when you should exit but sometimes it could fail.

C'est la vie.


Things like this will happen and will continue to happen.

sometime it requires guts more than info...

even people give you info, you got no guts to buy in... same die 1....

market manipulation is normal in Bursa.. i don't feel anything....

without them, we don't even can see 1billion volume per day in Bursa...

LOL LOL LOL LOL.. thanks for sharing.

im aiming to slowly clear a % of my portfolio before year end. have a feeling that tapering might start again...

haha yalor... my phrase balls of steel = guts.

Well tapering should not be an unexpected issue since we know the QE cannot last forever and ever.

There's a saying, instead of focusing on the forest, it's much more productive to focus on the tree.

In the marketS, many things can happen.
It's impossible to predict all that would happen.
And even if could, it might not bring us the success.

Why? Sometimes in a rising market, many stocks will rise.
But if we ride the wrong horse, we won't get anywhere.

Think reverse.
Look at some of the 'anti gravity' stocks.
They seem to go up always and ever.
Why?

Look at the impact of the recent taper fears.
Did it hurt the stocks at all?
Or did these stocks actually grew stronger since then?

Conclusion?

hmm hmmm hmmm... never managed to catch an anti gravity stock before
so far recent tapers, sell down fears became real sell downs.
got caught in all the corrections. cashflow tied up so couldn't boat good buys then.
had to hold many and wait instead of benefiting from cheap good trees. lots of lost opportunities.
hoping to reverse this situation year end. on right track?

Try to hold less stocks...

Learn what makes a stock an anti gravity stock.
Learn how to catch anti gravity stocks.
Can be done.

trying trying... resolution!
tropicana is the opposite of an upside of anti-gravity

That one... ownership issue.
Many think twice before touching their shares.

waiting for 2nd PP... anti gravity should stop by then.

censof volume 20million...

but price still holding...

good sign or bad sign?
