BN. BAM was also one of those that I almost 2x. Or course must be ready to play the long game of waiting at least 5y

Is 5 yrs consider long? All this stock hold since 2020.

I don't have S&P either. Those hold long are the good stock.

Legend?

There are many many more legend here.

It's a simple tactic. Invest and hold a good company. And this comapny is just around you.

Example Google. You makan, tidur also Google. I hold 5yrs and it's 250% today with an annual 27%.

Problem is people want to get rich quick aka get rich by Tuesday. Not many want to hold like 5 years.

I sit down now, type and think back, Damn, it's already 5yrs. Feel like just yesterday.

5yrs is not long. But you miss the 5yrs and thinking back now, yes it's a long mistake.

Cannot blame this people either. They go through Bursa way of gambling. Cannot trust the other side to hold your money. The best is money is in your pocket. Aka cash.

When trading, you're gambling with another side person and hoping your card is better than theirs. Nothing to do with the company.

Not only bursa. Whole world like that. If I am not a buy and hold, I wouldn't be getting current gains. There are good stocks on bursa also that require you to buy and hold.

5 weeks ago, I mentioned on this forum that xpev posted good results, and that I am going to buy this stock. I did. My previous trading method is once it reaches 20% of my cost, I sell to lock in profits. I have decided that this method won't rake in the big bucks. Buy and hold is the way to go. I expect further gains for this stock tonight.

I won't touch Chinese stuff.

My biggest regret is not holding Visa which I bot about 10 years ago. If I had held thru this 10 years, I would have made it! I bot it as a CFD stock.

for tax purposes... full time job would be considered main income

trading local market... non taxable

trading overseas... taxable under FSI guidelines, when funds are remitted back into Malaysia... be form already has a section for it

From what you write here, you need to learn what to hold and what to buy.

I cannot say this stock is good or bad. But not a top quality stock to hold.

It may not be a top tier US or China stock, but I have a strong feeling based on the fundamentals and the recent price action in the options market, this stock is poised to move within a month's time frame. It's just my own personal judgement, and I am putting my money on the line for tonight.

Fyi, I just bot 100 XPEV @ $22.94 only just now. But, at 9.30pm local time, my $25 sell call option, DTE 24/10/25 was bought immediately. So, I have basically created a covered call today for XPEV. Sold the option at $1.00

There are so many ways to skin the cat...

I can disagree with putting your whole portfolio basket into big tech, but who am I to judge if you make money consistently?...

If the methodology works for you, then just keep doing what you are doing...

You can trade in minutes, to hours, to days, automate systems, take long and short beta-hedging positions, to taking trades that make all your profit for the year in a month's time or a week, to holding on for years, trade the news, trade the fundamentals, or trade price action, then just do it...

What is important is to find what works for you...

Maybe we can share specific trade ideas here. It's best its not too general. It's easy to say buy X share, but we want to know at what price X share should be bought! Ideas from others broaden our perspective and think of new and alternative ways of profiting from the markets.

Like that you better sub for trade alerts so you copy trade 😂
There are lots of trader providing such service real time trade alerts. Of course need to pay la.

Don't trade. Just buy and hodl. You can get at least 5x easily over 10-20 years time.

source from Gemini AI stated below



learn to invest. Hold and HODL is the key.

Maybe somewhere in between day trade and HODL. Swing trade and look for trading opportunities. And use options to enhance returns. Now, my options strategy is leaning on short strangle. I am HODL S&P etfs, and selling OTM puts and options to get some small income

I don't subscribe for these real time trade alerts. But reading Seeking Alpha so long as it's free is fine for me. That day on X, someone offered to let me copy his trades, and in return, he gets 20% of the profits. Wants to link my account to his. Fat hopes I do that!

You don't need to share profit. You can just copy his trades.

Eg is the travelling trader. He will post his trade on discord. 5o gain access to his trades you need to cough up some money for monthly sub or annual sub.

To hold a stock, need to research more in detail.

We don't base on the "Feeling". Feeling cannot be read and measure.

Because holding is a longterm investment, we need to know their financial report, business competition, cash flow, what sector, profit margin, intrinsic cost, and much more data.
