Sulifeisgreat, thanks for your experiences condensed for our reading, though its not that short though, and i'm still digesting ahha..

Looking at the chart u inserted, the blue line in the middle of the diagram intersecting the share price line, whats that ? Seems to be accurately predicting bullish price movement.

I bought google already, just keep it aside. Danmooncake, ppl saying AAPL can go $300. Dare (crazy enuf) to buy at $205 not ? Duno got possibility it'll dip or not.

i dun hav hourly ma nor 20ma for them? we need to ask those day traders for assistance
any idea wat drives kong up? try check up google or yahoo finance message boards to see stil got roket fuel or not?
wonder when wil be the pullback? 11? imo, there r other better quality stocks in this group rolleyes.gif
maybe need to check any momo bought or adding or selling position or not?
also need to check (if got time) those momo got quality boh?

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=KONG

in comparison to lvs

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=lvs

can u see the difference?
so if this stock can generate earnings quarter after quarter & more momo add position
then u r early bird (but maybe it can even do a pullback to shakeout weak holders)
but if co no make money, then could be speculative or goreng stock
notis speculative stock quality difference between us & our beloved m'sia shakehead.gif

I didn't even know the importance of technical analysis until lately. After reading yr link about MA and looking at the charts, i learnt that it is useful to compare the short term MA against long term MA and once the short term MA goes lower than the long term one, its time to run ? blush.gif

Other parts of the technical analysis i haven't touched yet. Only use common sense to judge that the bottom blue bars are for volume, if they are on top its a good sign. Once it turns upside down, its not such a good sign anymore. brows.gif

Sifu, right or not ? What other things to read in conjunction with the above ? rclxub.gif

If falling below long term MA its time to buy already. U should sell before it breach long term MA threshold coz from there onwards, its gonna freefall. If its approaching long term MA from below, then its time to sell, the reverse is true.

Yes, that's is what's expected to happen. nod.gif

The US market has been ignoring the unemployment numbers...
what they care is "lesser" claim. doh.gif

If we have this kind of unemployment numbers in Malaysia (closing to double digit),
I think our market may crash big time.

Ok, just buy the dip for now to play the swing trade. laugh.gif

In TNA during dip: 43.80

right click on the image. save to ur pc, from there, u can open or enlarge for viewing

imo but beware, here is a stock for swing trading, as earnings due 22/10/09. 
alwiz set ur target profit & loss in advance, as if stock dun move rite, we dun wan to hold the bag & be an involuntary long term investor, also move ur trailing stop if it goes up. coz we either win some or we lose most  blush.gif

eg. a quick case study in options vs stock % movement. taking strike price of $5 & expiry on 19/3/10. of coz, we can take other expiry date & price too. whichever suit ur style 

[attachmentid=1259941]

if we think its going up
buy stock 100*5.44=544
or buy call option QQPCA.X 100*1.4=140

but if we think its going down
sell stock 100*5.44=544
or buy put option QQPOA.X 100*1=100

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/os?s=SPAR&m=2010-03-19

well if u own 100 of the stock, u can write a cover call, collect premium & the money wil be in ur ac, provided u gamble & stock move in ur direction. otherwise ur 100 stock would be sold & u collect balance of the proceeds. if u gamble rite, then u get to keep ur 100 stock & the premium collected from cover call... dream on  tongue.gif

if we think its going down
sell call option QQPCA.X 100*.85=85
coz if we sell a put option & it really moves down, our stock wil be sold

if we think its going up
sell put option QQPOA.X 100*.7=70
coz if we sell a call option & it really moves up, our stock wil be sold

taking a gamble, i think spar may move up, so i use scenario buy stock/ buy call options/ sell put options  wink.gif
as it has been beating earnings estimates, otherwise its arang batu time - jmo

http://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/esti...s?symbol=SPAR.O
*
here is the post mortem for spar doh.gif

if u had did earnings play, ie sold before earnings, would gain 6-5.44=.56 (careful as got some stock never move after earnings)

Attached Image

refer above purchase example on arang batu case study, below is the results for 20/3/10 options expiry rclxub.gif

bought call option & now close position QQPCA 1.4-.85=.55 lost

bought put option & now close position QQPOA 1-.05=.95 gain before comm

sold call option QQPCA & collected 85 in advance, if want to close position, need to buy back at 130, lost 45 (but normally we do nothing as we had already collected 85. now we waiting to see would open interest person exercise this option or not?) unless we want to keep the stock in hand now

sold put option QQPOA & collected 70 in advance, if want to close position, need to buy back at 175, lost 105 (but normally we do nothing as we had already collected 70. now we waiting to see would open interest person exercise this option or not?) unless we want to keep the stock in hand now
