MooHumor: A parallel dimension

• Milk The Cow : I can't even get the chance to be affected by the news.
  I just bought some stock at post market close which I set it very low price (At that moment... I was sleeping & ting... ordered filled=) before war announced...
  
  If I got the chance, I maybe one of the biggest winner on Thursday as I will buy it at low.
  A surprised, Thursday market closed high = I'm still a winner ,  maybe lesser than those bought at low=grazt .
  Still can't relax even I'm a winner that day due to this stupid war.
  
  In a sense, in this case... I'm not that affected by the news in making my decision.
  It still affect my decision to some extent = I will choose an even lower price of my low TP of certain stock.
  
  My reserved fund for certain stocks are not used as it still not able to hit my low TP even with the help of the panic news. This proved those stocks I'm eyeing on has good financial fundamental (good company)
  Stock position diversion = risky vs less risk positions. (news won't affect me on my positions diversion plan)

• Syuee : News does NOT affect the stock market. People’s reaction to the news affects the stock market.
  
  The same news may have very different reactions, depending on expectations, market conditions and prevailing sentiment levels.
  
  For example, a company’s earnings announcement. A company may announce record earnings, so one might assume that its stock would go up due to heavy buying. But while it was a record, perhaps it was not as good as people expected, in which case the stock would go down due to heavy selling.
  
  So is the news important? No, it is usually noise. Yes, but only in how it compared to expectations, and how investors react to it…

• HopeAlways : Buy the rumour, sell the news is a market adage based on the belief that stock prices move in anticipation of rumours, and rebound when profit taking occurs when the actual news is released. It is a risky tactic of stock trading based on just rumors or moving events. Investors who stand to make a nice profit on their stocks then dump positions as the news is announced. As a long-term investor myself, I prefer to use fundamental analysis to find the best investment opportunities. Using valuation metrics and other information would help me to determine whether a stock is attractively priced. Fundamental analysis is more suited for investors seeking excellent long-term returns.

• HopeAlways Syuee : Trading frequently based on market news can lead to higher transactional costs and sacrificing market-beating returns in the long run. Maintaining focus is a basic investment discipline but a challenging task for many investors owing to the market noise.

• doctorpot1 : It is easy to say "when bad news comes and the stock market crash, I will buy the dip" but when it happens and emotions takes over it is more like the meme below.

• Syuee HopeAlways : There are exceptions to every rule, so it is not hard and fast.
  
  A better way to invest is to find good companies and consistently invest in them for the long term.
  
  If time horizon allows, a focus on the future with an eye towards long-term investment can maximize profits for most investors.
