I am not sure how many new investors here realise that it is actually abnormal for a stock to go up 10% or 20% or hit limit up in a day.
Those days, for value investors, when we buy a stock, we will hold it for months if not years. Our aim was to make about 12% per annum (excluding dividend payments). As long as we can beat the FD rate, the EPF rate or the ASM rate. Anything above 12% is a bonus.
Nowadays, we buy a stock at 9.00 a.m. By 3 p.m. on the same day, when the stock does not move up, we start cursing the stock. Why no movement one? Syndicates pressing down the price, is it?
I suppose this is the culture of instant gratification. If you can't fight them, join them. I will ride along with the wave following the megatrend.
Have a good holiday tomorrow everyone!
