lai lai we all switch to Big Value shampoo from Aeon, let's bankrupt P&G. Together we can do it!

P&G no moat and no pricing power to be honest. That's the reason I sold Unilever and never look back.

You increase price too much, people will just buy store brand. You want moat and pricing power, insurance, utilities, gas pipeline
electric transmission line, security software, google, Microsoft, Amazon, credit card.

That's why I said nowadays I only buy BlackRock, Google, Microsoft. Adobe, BIP, Visa, tsmc,

Arghh... GOOG and MSFT going to kill the market tomorrow. 

Just buy and if it falls, dca it all the way baby!!

You bought already or still holding cash? Until the next time Jerome Powell open his mouth and said no pause in rate hike

I would rather focus on WHY.

If I had made an investment in a stock. After say 6 months and I find my investment is LOSING money. The most important thing for me to do is to ask if I had made a mistake.

Yes?

One year later. Still losing money. Clearly I farked up. Yes?

So if I STUBBORNLY ignored the due process of reviewing my investment thoroughly and checking if it WAS ME that SCREWED Up and further aggravate the situation by AVERAGING Down, clearly I am stubbornly wrong.

Yes?

And even worst still... insisting to hold the stock for 15 years.

Take Meta (what a shitty new name. Lol).

Just a year ago, it was around 350? Now? Average down all the way just because of the global branding of Facebook? Or perhaps one should review if thereecist fundamental weakness in Meta businesss economics?

Average down of DCS should not be used as a correction strategy for one POOR initial investment decision...

but yea.. yea.... last 3 words..... 'AM I WRONG' ..... that should always be asked when one is investing or trading. 

This is the great disconnect isn't it?

Traders can accept and assume of their potential screwups, while those 'investors' when they see prices fall, they never ever consider they might be wrong earlier. All they see is opportunity to buy more. Yup, like investors never wrong. Maybe they want to wait 15 years or more................

Can you include the time axis as well?

When will we reach point (D) (labelled 4) around 4100? Jan. 2023?

I was telling some fellow passengers in the plane,.......

1) If Mr Powell gives favourable news tonight, then news have leaked-out all over the world that the Feds is going to adopt a wait-and-see approach after this.

2) If Mr Powell continues to say : "we're going to keep at it" tonight.... then all of us got it wrong !!!!!!

3) And finally, if Mr Powell says,... we'll continue to be data-dependant", then,..

I still believed in the SGD. I'll continue my campaign there. In the last few days, the major US Indices have closed lower now and then,.. Futures bounced up and down,... BUT the SGX has been climbing.

The SGX does not seem to be following the US lead,...

America’s Refiners Are Running on Premium
High natural gas prices in Europe and steeper discounts in sour crude oil are helping U.S. refineries squeeze out more profit

Oil and Gas Profits Are an Easy Political Target
BP is the latest supermajor to report strong third-quarter earnings that are likely to fuel further calls for higher taxes as well as bumper shareholder returns

have to see if smiley usage is the same

Bros,... I sat up last night and watched everything,... I looked at his face,... and the faces of the media personnel asking questions.

Mr Powell the rates must continue hiking but,.... he too reiterated more than once, there must come a time to stop, and he said he has mentioned this many times earlier.

I think,.... some mkts may not fall this momirng even after the falls in the US Indices early this morning.

So sifu, now what's the next news to front-run? 

btw can compare... its trailing profits vs the last annual profit...

Fuhhh....
the danger is the below...
during the fantastic growth years... we see profits go 30 > 34 > 40 > 76  which equals the stock to the moon and beyond.

now what if it enters the profit recession years? 76 > 66 (trailing numbers indication) > under 50?

if and if it does happen what would be Alphabet's valuation then? < 60?

and also need to address how long the profit recession would last? and the bigger issue is would earnings growth ever return? Cos if earnings growth does not return, what's the catalyst to drive the stock back higher?
that is how I would evaluate this stock risk.

Ahhh, but if I was looking at google, I would only be looking at google and won't even making other comparison.

But you know me, I like to fight a good fight and more importantly, I like to fight an easy fight. Them sure win fights.

google at this moment of time, isn't one.

too many current headwinds/risk.

With google already warning of further ad slowdowns (which makes sense cos which company wants to spend big in a poor economic environment? one of the first few things it will cut down is ad spending), it would make prudent sense to wait (if and if I am interested).  But that's just me. 
( biggest recent concerning news of course came from Maersk. Massive concern there. )

( and of course ... I am against what Fed is doing right now. A huge chunk of the inflation issues were created by what Trump did. Tarriff wars inflates prices. Raising 30% tariff on what Americans imports (from China) isn't smart at all, cos it will only end up raising cost of products. Increasing employment wages in hope of bringing jobs back to America has only inflate corporate costs, which corporates will only pass by inflating prices. )

as they say, a leopard never loses its spots...

so how to trust?

How to do business with someone I do not TRUST?
and the big picture... that's so clear, no?
