Why Boon3 never ask to buy BRAHIMS yesterday?

This is why laaaaaa

Just keeping you occupied until gark come back to give tips....

My nail got chipped a little....

Why you all talk in riddles... not smart enough to understand....

I ask see got luck or not....

Generally, do you pick stocks based on company first then see charts, or look through charts then see about the company? I trying to find a way to narrow down.

There is no short cut for success..

Wasn't asking for a shortcut, but thank you for sharing your insight...

The funny thing about investments hor is everybody is influenced and tempted to make big and fast money.
When in school or at work, we are trained to always prepare for exam or prepare for the projects. do simulations etc.

But when it comes to investing, a lot of people don't bother to do paper trade. don't bother to read and understand what the heck they are doing or what they are investing/trading into. This includes me.

So as a young person or not, normally a lot of people cincai hantam few thousand on stocks "strongly" recommended by family members, friends, Siputs, analyst etc.

Interesting right to find out in the end based on experience, reading and sharing/discussion with others... the only right way to do it is to really paper trade for a few years to really understand the mechanics of investing, don't simply to listen to people and to control your emotions when market swing up and down like yoyo.


Erm... so how many stocks do you trade on hand? 3 to 10 or up to 20?

Why I ask this? Coz Uncle Peter Lynch had over 1k plus stocks during his time at Fidelity. A decent trader/investor will have 10 to 50 stocks on hand or standby to trade. There are always a lot of new and interesting companies to make money from. So to abstain from them all and just focus on that 10 stocks = to some extend limiting your trading/investing skill right? (But if u make a tonne of money from that 10 stocks = bagus lo)

If you can have patience and the wisdom to do well with one stock and hold till return multiple baggers = not overrated lo.
Problem is how many people can or willing to do that.

A good trader will argue that the time u take to hold that one stock to achieve say 3 bagger, they can trade many stocks with the same time frame to achieve higher than 3 bagger returns. But seriously, how many people are that pro.

But long story short, I agree with your favourite sayings la which I will quote as follows:

Both methods got its plus and minus...

as you know....
Charts can and are quite often 'made'.....
So if you buy based on the chart or as you say, use chart as the initial stock screener...
then your trading play is based on what the market sharks want you to play.
Pure chartist always swear that the charts is their holy grail.....

Using companies as the screener....
well, you trade based on your knowledge/reasoning on how the stock should do in the future......
some say you are more in control...
cause you are trading based on what you know.....
but there are risks also...
sometimes we can make the wrong analysis.....

Which is better?
which is the better route?
I can't answer for you....
what works for me might not work for you....
Perhaps testing it extensively paper trading might help you discover you....

Yeah, there is no easy answer as all sorts of methods can work or fail. It all seems to be best guess work.
Using charts and looking at previous pattern, you're making best guess what may happen next.
With company data also you're making best guess projection of what may happen in the future. After all things for the company or world events etc could change things very quickly.

This is exactly why paper trade is important....
It allows you to discover what is not good for you and what is................

lol.... teh o ice got la. hahaha....

anyway, today is the budget day. now market seems very upbeat and resilient about the market.

what do you think? what kind of impact it will have on the market?

my take is, healthcare and infrastructure sector will take a hype.

what say you.

I fear a bad overall budget....
where overall govt spending is not reduced at all....
.... and this might probably cause the ringgit to weaken further....
which means....
more and more expensive products for the lower income earners....

I fear for the country......

it is already a budget deficit. it's been few years consequtively......

Wahhhhhh now boon is fortune teller...

GST to the rescue,...

Govt is expected to report higher than expected GST collection based on year to date reciepts collection

Also they are 'borrowing' from the companies as GST refund is still very slow (>6 months)..

Hence the govt coffers will be temporary boosted.

Also the expected income tax and corporate tax reduction due to GST MIGHT not materialize...

Nope, internal factors like politics are making things worse. However, a few weeks ago, US was not really in a good shape? Forgot where I read it.

All this while, the US economy is like shit.
