You need to think simple...
One. You are not here to outsmart the market.
No one can ever be smarter than the market ALL the time.
Remember this.

Catalyst is like a reason to buy a stock.
If you cannot find a reason to buy a stock, then how do you expect others to buy the stock?
Quarterly profits is usually a reason to buy a stock.
This is correct.
The expectation of better profits aka the market bets that the stock will see better profits...
will normally see the stock moves ahead during the month it is expected to announce profits...
Ah Ben profits results is due this month....
Normally, in a lot of cases (*cough* *cough*)..... the market they 'know'....
Which means normally...
the profits do follow the immediate trend...
So what is Ah Ben doing now?
it is trending lower.....
not a good sign... yes?
Then you can do some simple 6c6c....
Last month Ah Ben posted 2 mil profits vs 10 mil profit the previous year...
(*yes we compare the quarter result vs the same quarter the previous year*)
that was very poor...
the coming quarter... this month...
Ah Ben profits result is to be compared with last year profit of only 3 million (yea last year also poor)
which means the bar is not that high....
but yet... the market doesn't seem to be enthusiastic at all......

not a good sign.... yes?
Regarding trend....
the saying or teaching is to follow the trend yes?
current trend is down...
if you buy now.... what are you doing?
Think about it.....
