If something big really happen,
Go to your broker house, and ask your broker representative whether got customer or not. Usually very little dare to buy.
See newspaper, is it like a "doom" day everyday.
From psychological point of view,some of the "long term holder" don't have holding power and start selling.
Let the market absorb the downturn at least 5-8 months ( Very big crisis). Open the chart and check whether the graph appear like Zig zag , especially no clear direction for 2 months.
If dun dare to but shot at once, buy every week according to your ammo.
All will work providing you choose the right stock.But this require some time to understand specific stock. During really bad downturn, it is pointless to watch the share price every single hour, instead use your time to keep finding gem before your sixth sense feel the bottom.After studied specific stock, you felt more confident to buy and buy more.So you won't miss the anticipation
Holding power, dare to oppose market is not something can be taught by others, it need some experience.
If the market can take short position for example in oversea ( you can found 1-2 weeks very bull, another 1-2 weeks drop like hell).
This is the advice from some old sifu, not from me
. I just share what I know which may or may not apply to you all.
But personally expect nothing really big will come after general election, probably just a bit shaky in market. Let us see how things will be like for the coming GE
Too add to that, market IS ALWAYS forward looking. Looks to me that FBMKLCI already discounted the GE and after GE, it'll go up even more or perhaps new highs here.
Agree, stock picking is not really everyone cup of tea. It is both arts and science. It takes time to learn and trial and error and pay your tuition fee (often become smarter after HUGE tuition fee - if you know what I mean.
). For those newbies who wanted to invest, better seek pros help from financial advisors - getting into unit trusts or something like that, which offers better diversification, than listening to your friends or buddies that a stock is good to buy.

wait a minute.... how do u sure you buy at the low price during past crisis..... are we catching a falling knife...
currently all dividend counters stock price are sky high BAT, D Lady, Nestle, Digi, Maxis, Carlsberg, GAB, Amway, Aeon, Public Bank, Maybank etc.....
That's why no one can ultimately buy the bottom or sell the top. Yes, you could be catching a falling knife when you put money in and thought it is good buy. The thing about investment (or trading
) is learn how to manage RISKS. Learn to become a good RISK manager first, then ultimately you'll become a better investor.
