For some reason even though GE beat estimates, the stock super tanked. Now i'm not sure if to take the lost or continue holding for long.
Bought at 16.79

gee...i understand its a hassle icon_question.gif but if u can read some of the previous post, lots of faq r there shocking.gif
there was some discussion abt buy price, cut loss & target profit - so wats yours?
wat was the reason u buy? r the reason stil valid?
if u can't make up ur mind, i'll quote William Buckingham: "you'll be like a deer in the headlights."

so dun just stand there... evaluate & decide coz its ur hard earned $$$
if u wanna lose it with style, the stock market wil giv u a lesson u wil never forget
who knows? maybe u r lucky & bless & stock can go roket to moon...

btw, if u wanna put range trading from theory into practice, maybe got a slight chance it can swing trade up, but ur buy point makes it hard a bit

no prblm man. I just wondering why, before entering market, already thinking of withdrawal etc. I think the best option if you are long term investor is to go for CIMB/local broker. Peace of mind smile.gif

imo for this range trading, options won't help, as direction still uncertain, it'll just decay its time value

[attachmentid=1267120]

hmm... 16.5-17.5 range trading? i sense greed & fear from the thread  laugh.gif
wat the heck, buy market open & gamble  vmad.gif ...caveat emptor
*
haha... got stuck & next range trading is 15.4-18.1, if it goes below 14.5, i've to say adios sweat.gif
well, hope it can continue downtrend nex week, so stop loss can be activated on the case study nod.gif
buy the dip, ge fulfils at 15.17 hmm.gif

DJ dropped back 100 pt
3 days ago on CNBC I heard when a floor trader was asked:
Which will be seen first, a dow 11K or 9K.
and in front of the world audience he said dow 9K
So be mindful.

Hey sulifei, how come the yahoo & stockcharts 50d/200d MA line position not same one ?

Oh.. found the answer, 1 is logarithmic.
Better to use linear/loga ?

mrPOT, frankly speaking, in terms of 50-200ma, i hav no idea rclxub.gif i like the yahoo, as i use KISS method
i heard some others found stockcharts helped them le, so how? doh.gif

imo, dun get overloaded with book, virtual trade, over reading too deep FA, TA & analyst reports, high chance to get confused
as all wil giv conflicting signals when is time to take action

I just wired my fund to Sogotrade and am entitled for 100 free trades for a month.

I use maybank, they charged me RM 10.
Sogotrade side charged me USD21.

So plus conversion loss, I already lost about RM100.

Sogotrade only allows wire back at USD50/per wire. The incoming will charge back RM10 plus conversion rate again.

Ok. I have lost RM300 plus plus if I withdraw now..

Foreign trading so expensive.. smile.gif

But they gave me 100 free trades, then may be I can say these one month brokerage worth RM300++.

I will give a try. see how long I need to earn back RM300.

En excerpt frm bloomberg to soothe our nerves.. next week is an agonising wait.

[I]“You have this skepticism in the equity market that is frankly irrational,” said Richard Campagna, chief executive officer of 300 North Capital LLC in Pasadena, California, which manages $600 million. “Given that the third quarter was the tail end of the recession and earnings are this good tells you earnings are going to snap back much faster than people expect.”

Stocks may rise further as long as the Federal Reserve continues to signal it intends to keep interest rates low, Campagna said. Articles in the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal today said central bank officials have begun to consider how and when to prepare investors for higher rates.

I think the resistant level for C has dropped to 4.50.

The share is trying to break the resistant level these two weeks.

If it fail, it will probably drop to next support level, may be at 3.90.

Seems like the rally may be slowing down despite the solid earnings over the past weeks.

would u all want some other stocks? but it need ur feedbacks & time to analyse it for expected range trading... shakehead.gif
as usually i hav some stocks which breakout-then pullback or it swing trades up - then i don't bother
but there's too many for me to monitor, if yes, need 4 volunteers, what price range u all prefer?
i dun like penny stocks or low volume type, normally takes long2 time to move hmm.gif
or u all prefer status quo? ie stay back & watch entertainment as usual, haha cool2.gif

Market very difficult to predict. 2 week of strong earning also cannot push the market up.

The Weekly Report For October 26th - October 30th, 2009

Commentary: The best analogy I can think of for the markets this week is that they have been sprinting on a treadmill. There were some volatile moves back and forth, but in the end, the markets ended up going nowhere. There were some large moves higher in individual stocks such as Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN) and Apple(Nasdaq:AAPL), but it wasn’t enough to swing the indexes into the positive column for the week. The promising breakouts from last week have basically stalled, although most of the indexes remain above their breakout areas.

Bottom Line
There are some clear signals of weakness appearing in the markets, but as of yet there is still not a valid reversal signal. The market remains above prior support and in a near-term lateral range. This coming week should offer additional clues. If the indexes fail their breakouts, they could be in for a more prolonged consolidation or lateral trading range. The key level on the downside remains the September lows; if these are breached, it could signal a more protracted correction.


I get this from chart advisor. What does it mean? Very deep financial language for me. blush.gif
