Went Sunday morning. Got some time to talk some ayam.

Ok, my main focus always is making good trade on a good setup. There's got to be a plan.
I would rather lose a well planned trade then simply trade and win...

This was Top Glove chart on the 9th.

As noted several days b4, I mentioned the point that 'top top' for TG... ie Double Top was formed....
and there we were on the 9th... TG is right where the neckline is for Double Top.... and most of all, it was already trading with the uptrend channel being breached... and technically the stock was already weak since the correction in July (yes, it did reached a new high after the correction but the signs were there (via the lower traded volume) that the big boys weren't interested in participating in the rally at THAT point (do they not believe the stock go could much higher?) ....and most important, the down days kept on increasing... the clearest sign that the rally doesn't have legs no more... it needs a good correction.
and oh.... the volume.... the volume looked better on the 8th and 9th.... (increase volume on down days?

) .... but the one thing that needs to be mentioned is..... we need to remember that TG is now 3 times bigger.

so whatever volume we see now.... we need to remember that TG is now a stock which is 3 times bigger!
That was where we were on the 9th...
So clearly, it wouldn't be good trade in my books to go in on the 10th... and when I saw the message.... it was starting to trade below the neckline already....
the thing I asked...
Aren't I clearly betting against the market? If the stock decline started gathering momentum, do I even know where the exit door is? ( yeah... I could guess where the so called support is (hate such trading) or I could use % as my cut loss ... but nah, I fancied neither...

)
and yeah.... what's the catalyst to enter the trade? Catch the rebound? Nah....
Everything else.... still the same for me. There's nothing new! Still waiting for TG to show me their big earnings... which is at least 1.5 B for the coming quarter...
Any earnings else is technically very, very good but we need to remember... it's already as expected by the market.... which is a joke really. TG could report 1 billion in profits.... which will be very, very good ...... 1 billion profit wo.... but then..... those marker scientist had already spoiled it lo cos such profit numbers was already as expected......
So I really dunno how to trade TG on the 10th.... and so TG closed on the 10th like this...

and btw the buyback is reckless....

But for now... nobody will care .... cos the stock rebounded nicely.... dragging the whole market up....

Well it could possibly be a bull trap.
The rationale of going on tv right before qr report is out and the large buyback would certainly lure in many new holder to ensure a strong base or either allow the existing holders to realized their profit.
If this is true, kinda shocked to believe the owner will do this kinda move. Top glove has always been the slow and steady kind.
