SIX: How do you decide when to buy/sell?
@HopeAlwayssaid that there is no best way to determine when to buy and when to sell the stocks of indexes. The timings depend on investing goals, philosophies, and personal preferences.
"The three main risks are company, valuation and earnings risks. Once we are able to find a stock that that signals low risk based on these three conditions, it is time to buy. Whenever a negative change happens to any of the three conditions,  it is time to sell."

SEVEN: How do you know when to stop loss / take profit?

$SIA (C6L.SG)$
With the discovery of NEW Omicron covid variant over the past few days, seeing weakess in the aviation and tourism sector again.
SIA has broken the 5.20 support last Friday as a result and now potentially nearing the 4.80 support that we have been consolidating above for 6 months.
Here is where some bargain hunting can return again having rebounded from here about 5 times since May and perhaps for those looking at the longer term recovery play to get in on dips.
