........................... keep it and leverage down. recently the wawasan 2020 is not "laku", i think the investor may think this is the right time to invest for stock and get return for more than 30% annually after 2012 (election time mah), insted of earn the 7% annually.     

Errr... why do you need to quickly sell off the shares.... is it because of the T+3 or you're afraid it might drop further? 

I'm still holding on to Zelan which I bought at 0.785 (2000 shares, peanuts amount compare to you guys) as I'm waiting for the market to go up around year-end or chinese new year..... Might even keep longer if the market is recovering (unlikely, looking at world economy)....

At the moment, I'm also stuck with KINSTEL and RESORT as the price I bought was higher. Again, will be waiting for those counters to go up (maybe next year or two  ) before I sell them....

Well for me, its based on no. of transaction and no. of buying/selling queue pressures. I will monitor its movement and follow the buyer/seller trend till a certain point where i feel at safer zone or lesser risk when buy or hold on to a stock. During Bearish market, strong stocks movement also will be volatile due to faster profit taking n its easier to get BURNED easily if didnt exit fast.
This is why i feel the opportunity to buy and sell one stock counter back several times is possible. Buy In at strong support price and Sell out when the selling pressure is strong, and later when drop back to strong support lvl i'll go buy in back.  Another trading strategy i set if i fail to exit early is to buy back the stock at its next support lvl and sell if rebound back.

Eg. like Zelan, i play this counter in and out more than 3X.
Still want to buy in back but 2bad it didn't drop till my safe zone price.
Zelan jump from 0.80  to  0.87 yesterday at closing is quite unexpected as the buyers seems in a hurry to grab at higher price and push up its price.
It seems like being plan and execute well by some players.

Resort..
I chk this counter drop from 2.6+ to its support lvl at 2.4 and seems stable around that price on Thursday.
But on friday mornng i notice  selling pressure start to build up back as more seller queue appear. Too bad i didn't stick to my plan to exit fast at 2.43 after notiice more selling pressures coming.
So now i either buy back at low price or sell when it rebound.

I also notice this week alot fishy news play and erratic stock movement.

Airasia - news about privatisation? i monitor this counter not much movement even after the news is out... buying vol. is low and den... later come out news Airasis lost millions..
The earlier news more like a trap to bring its price up to cushion

Ramunia - limit down. very bad..

Zelan - drop alot before this ..

MMC - privatisation Zelan news? mmc drop... den later no privatisation.. go up... but den drop again.

Resort - drop n drop ... even all local research papers give good TP.

Yes, buy strong counters at low price for mid/long term investment good but if the movement trend and selling pressure high, there will be higher chance to buy it even lower price.
Nobody wants to get stuck at high price for long time. Either cut or buy back at lower price to average down. If no more ammo and dun want to cut, have to be patient and wait slowly till it goes up again.

Unless you think you can accurately time the market, have deep pockets to average down or have insider information, you should invest long-term instead of day-trading. And now's a perfect time to invest because stocks have fallen up to 70% from their peaks and trading way below their NTA.

Whatever you buy today has a very high probability of turning in a handsome profit in 3 to 5 years time. Safe stocks like Pbbank, Resorts and IOI could double by then, and if you can stomach more risks, stocks like Zelan and KNM could triple or quadraple.

Try diversifying because you'll get to spread your risks and ride the economic recovery in other countries as well. My current long-term investments are as follows:

- 50% in Unit Trusts (4 types - US & Europe, China, Asia Pacific ex Japan, East Asia).
- 25% in Aussie Dollar.
- 25% in Bursa stocks (Zelan, KNM, Scomi, Resorts, Pelikan, Gpacket)

Hope this helps.

That's the reason I started buying stocks. The fact that the prices of shares dropped so much and will go up one day. Even though trading shares involves high risk, the risks are much less when the stocks are cheap as they have fallen much and probably would not drop that much more (that's excluding companies that go bust!!!).

I didn't plan to play stocks yet as my strategy was to save money for savings/emergency funds, then unit trust, then only invest in stocks. Due to the current GREAT depression that is happening now, I actually had to skip the "unit trust investment" part and jump straight to buying stocks!!! 

My initial plan was for long-term investment but after starting to trade, I'm getting addicted to this intra-day trading!!  Haven't started doing it yet.....

I don't know about you guys but I experience something quite illogical when I started trading:

Before trading stocks - I like my weekends where I can rest and enjoy
After trading stocks - AAAaaaarrggghhh!! Such a long weekend!!! Monday come quick! QUICK!!! 

Anyway, today is my D12 of stocks trading (yes, I'm counting  ) and I'm getting very good info from you guys.

I also feeel like that .... 

I've been trading since end of 2005.
Frm my previous portfoilo, I already sold all of it except left 1000 share of Kencana
which is kind a sayang to sell -> I know I'm not suppposed to love the stock but...
it's my first trade and I don't think I can ever get the price that I've bought for this counter...
unless the company hv problem...

wanted to know how much u buy for that sentimental value kencana ? 

That's the problem with trading - it becomes addictive. Almost everyone will become emotional and will lose in the end ...like going to the casinos. If you make more, you'll become more confident and trade even more each time. And if you lose, you'll also trade more to try to "make back" because your ego has been hurt.

Back in 2000, I turned $30,000 to almost $100,000 and then lost it all back ...including the initial $30,000. Sepandai-pandai tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh juga ke tanah. Of course the good thing is I've learnt my lesson and I'm a better investor today.

I also feeel like that .... 

Me too....I pray Monday comes early since I am in stock market. Last time I could hardly wake up in the morning despites snoozing few times of my alarm, now no second delay when alarming. Then straight go to on PC to watch DJ movement. Sometimes I even woke up before my alarm time.

Me too. So easy to jump out of bed!  Last time, had to press the snooze button many many times!!! 

@ Cherroy - Maybe we should have a list/database which is updated frequently, you know, for reference. Something like this:

1) Long-term stocks e.g. Public bank, maybank, IOICORP, YTLPOWER, Resort, etc
2) Short-term stocks
3) Good dividend stocks
4) Don't buy stocks
5) Urgent! Must buy stocks
6) Urgent! Must sell stocks e.g. Airasia on monday!!!

Although we have threads for those, it would be really useful to list them down, don't you think? Info will come from our forumers, of course, buy at your own judgement/risk!!!

is a good idea, but is very hard to maintain..
dun u think so?

Better stick with those existing individual thread, as there are details information posted by forumers already.

Create another will result in cross-linked discussion, which by then dividend stock thread become like public bank thread on one day, and another day become BAT thread. Just like this thread, last 2 days, it more like Resort thread already.

Some more, one may not agree abc stock is long term stock as well etc.

This thread serves quite good for general discussion already until now. Always welcomed any idea.

Cheers.

Won't be that hard, I think (if don't spam too much for that particular thread)
Ok, just thought that a database thread (minus the spam) would be nice and convenient. 

For example, if I want to find good dividend stocks, I have to practically browse and read through the whole "Good dividend thread" before I can come up with a list.....

Anyway, I have gained lots of information from this thread. V19 coming soon! 

Because the term and classification of it can be subjective, so kind of troublesome and might not agreed by others.

LYN forumers are famous for spam,   no offence, even the pinned useful link/website and must website thread which being created for sharing and reference, also being spammed. 

Cheers, appreciated for the suggestion.

I notice that Bursa does put up some good stocks for special offers almost every week.

But next week, AA might not be good. Judge your own.

The sad thing is most forumers are happy with only 2sen profit in the short term.
. Again,  I personally would disagree a 2sen profit expected from Resort World like the other forumers.

But I still respect their decisions, after all.

This thread is more about the Stock Market in General, so I would imagine that the topic/stock of the day would depends very much on us the forummers. In fact if the forum keeps talking about the same topic/stock over and over again, not much people would bother come here
