Is public consensus important?
When you buy a stock that is very unpopular and it doesn't go up for a long time, so what will you do?

How to predict a company's profitability? We all knew that the annual reports we studied are based on past performance, so how do we know that the company's profit will improve again?
Can we believe the prospect written in the annual report?

When will the stock prices rise? After announcing a new high record profit?

forex is no different to gambling.

Ya
Stocks are more suitable for me

Value investing works.
But how you derive the intrinsic value to determine if something is undervalued, that's whee the debate starts.

In the current environment of low interest rates and the flood of money in the market, it is harder to find undervalued companies.

Forex is gambling and a way to grow money. Join the 12% group who make money.

Life is a gamble anyway.

Great.

That’s why you need to have a certain knowledge about the industry.

I was an engineer working in Nokia R&D and Continental ADAS R&D before. This helped me in evaluating tech and automotive sectors as I have closely worked with the manufacturing, suppliers etc and know the ins and outs of the underlying business.

Agreed with you
Insiders will have deeper knowledge than the average investor.

Most stock rubbish, only few can keep for profit, the rest buy for charity.

That’s exactly how their business work. If a stock education company gets listed publicly I’m gonna bet my money on it 😂

How to c[r]ash in stock market

I'm not adept at calculating intrinsic values, so I buy when price is quite cheap, like Genting & PBBank in Sep 2020. It worked for me this way. Not sure about others who used discounted cashflow analysis, or other earnings forecast calculation.

1. Public consensus is important to roughly know the market emotions. But if one buys & hold 5 years, it isn't important.

2. Why did I buy an unpopular stock in first place? What is so attractive about it? Can its share price increase within the expected timeline? If the company's story is intact, why sell if it hasn't achieved its potential yet? Unless you need to switch to better counters or urgently need money or realise it's a mistake, why sell?

3. To predict company profitability, one must have a lot of info, whether insider info, or sifu tips, forum discussion, or own stock research. To illustrate, glove stocks share prices rocketed from June-Aug bcause big funds know that ASPs have increased substantially, & knowing that other companies financial performance would suffer during MCO, they shifted their funds from Covid affected stocks to Covid beneficiary stocks.

4. On annual reports' reliability, it really depends on the company's integrity. Some companies repeat every year in their AR that they'll do their best to improve, but nothing done.

5. General rule is when companies announce new record high profits, share price will hit ATH soon. But sometimes there are other factors which affects the share price. Glove stocks which announced new record high profits, the stock prices plunged after that, along with ESG concerns.

Thanks for your reply
I love BP too!

Dollar cost averaging would be another alternative.

or else you could try cryptocurrency.
