bro, no one here is inversing your strategy and shorting the stocks you mention la.. no one look twice at the amount you or the amount most of us trades... as i said, reddit(wsb daily discussion)  and this thread is completely different.. maybe you can open a /k thread and keep posting what everyone deems as spam! i personally find it entertaining but you are making the thread less attractive

btw you said you experienced the march crash, when you experienced the glove crash , you freaked out didnt you until you mentioned to everyone here you wanted to harm yourself etc

Wow... JFtech unbelievable...
HPP too...

If the price is going up, then it is a good stock - momentum trading

I think the targetted repayment assistance might be too small a pool to explain the large retail inflow.
My two cents is that there are way more retail participants this time around and the inflows are actually tied to their life savings.

This is a double edge sword. If it can tide the current downturn, it acts as a convenient buffer.
In a crash, people lose their jobs but no longer have the usual savings to fall back on as that has evaporated in the stock market. It is a big distance to fall for the man on the street.

glove is going down again.. here we go again..

DIP is GOOD.
thus it come clearly on the man on the street with their finance literacy.
Have you DCA?

If you think we are near the peak of bull market, you can divert to medium term investing and sell some long term stocks. Actually the March crash did not feel scary at all. Unless the next crash goes on for decades and people start thinking stocks are trash just like cash and bonds right now

I think the long term data of staying invested is irrefutable in the long term. There are times when I take my money completely off the table (Beginning of this year for example with the political situation threatening to result in a GE which then tanks healthcare), but usually I stay in. What I do personally, is adjust my investment-cash ratio accordingly. I am about 70% invested with 30% cash. This is purely from my stock portfolio, which is totally separate from my personal savings and funds I own. I would highly encourage people to create that firm separation between their stock portfolio and their other finances. You must be able to tolerate losing your stock budget. I can lose my entire stock budget and I can safely say generally my lifestyle still remains the same. I'd be awfully sad though.

Timing the market for me is an exercise in futility. New investors are incredibly bullish here, and I was no different. Learnt through experience so I prefer to have a borader strategy. Of course, I still have to time my entry points. My absolute max tolerance in the current climate is about 80% portfolio investment. If a big correction comes, I still have cash to take opportunities to make up for the hit I take on my stocks. In times of volatility, always give yourself some cash headroom.

I can't put this forward without mentioning the macro forces factor to put all these in context. The government is a lot more aware now on avoiding a market crash. Compared to the start of 2020, they have less mechanisms at their disposal now. They are near bottom in terms of lowering interest rates so that's going to be in the realm of last resorts. Moratoriums have been dispensed, they can ill afford to give out another round. People can lambast the government as they are the easy targets in the fight between healthcare and the economy. In some sense, people risk dying today of Covid or dying tomorrow from economic impact. Another economic slide may not be recoverable. Things look stable for now.
The financial literacy of the avearage Malaysian has always been poor.
I wager most retail buyers don't even know what the company they bought shares in does.

Given a magic wand, I'd make life finance classes covering personal finance, personal taxes and potential investments part of the upper school syllabus in front of religious or moral studies. These are things you WILL end up using and benefit your life. But then again, I may be biased as I am part of the FIs.

Reits is a good hedge against inflation
you get your returns, with capital appreciation with close to inflationary rate
of cause, one also should study with due diligent and pick which Reits to invest in

yup, if it's really due to MCO, then glove counter should go up...

If you said so then tech really should be over. I think there's reason for their meteorite rise which is explained by their sheer eps alone. Yes, unsustainable but for 2022 onwards. The market is trying to price it moving along. I think at current price, it is still attractive given the high DY, but at the same time could be a trap if China really pull off 100b gloves in next 2 years not even including current expansions locally as well as new players.

In case your companies have exposure to the Tokyo Olympics.
MedElite23

Japan privately concludes Tokyo Olympics should be cancelled due to coronavirus

https://www.thestar.com.my/sport/others/202...rus---the-times

Need to be aware of the pressures surrounding the event. In Japan, the public approval of holding the Olympics has fallen from 28% last year to 12% this year.
They are already exploring for exit options as they have spent big money already with sponsors and the build.

I am still holding for now as my buy decision was not because of the Olympic factor. It will definitely help as a catalyst if it really goes on.

Might not be my place to comment but gonna leave this here anyway, the averaging down makes me a little uncomfortable.
If it works for you.
Not directly linked but industry linked.
Sportswear is expected to benefit for example. Packaging to take your exmaple if a company has exports to Japan.

there has been no love for gloves for WEEKS-MONTHS.

and this morning, the shorts continued, from reliable source:

Top Glove: 2,263,100
Harta: 167,100 shares
Kossan, Supermax: 0
