Can’t really say I love or hate any particular stocks. There are some that helped me made money and some which I’m still holding with paper losses (no point hating them as I wouldn’t have bought them if they are not good. Just wished that I had not bought them at a high before they dropped further). Well, that’s part and parcel of trading I guess. You take them all. While I wish that the market is not so volatile, it’s also in such volatility that one finds the stocks which they have been watchi...

Here’s wishing all the mooers the very best in the Year of the Tiger 🐯!!! Huat ah!

Yes, there’s a difference. Rightfully, stocks investing should not be like gambling.
When we buy Stocks, we are not buying lottery tickets in the hope of striking. Behind every stock, there is a company which owns the stock. If the company does well, the stock price should likewise does well and vice versa.
However, if one just buy stocks merely from some heresay or recommendations from friends or simply, everyone is buying it, then, that’s not investing but gambling in the hope that they have...

I will first figure out what went wrong.
If the fundamentals of the stocks are still intact (no adverse issues affecting the long term earnings and growth potential), I will actually buy on the dip and accumulate more stocks. If I’m already very invested in that stock (beyond the set % in my overall portfolio), then I will just not do anything and just go take a break from monitoring the stocks. They will eventually come up. However, for some speculative stocks, I wil...

Honestly, it’s easier said than done. Over the last couple of months, I have made some money and also lost some money despite doing my in-depth research and analysis. Sometimes, the stock prices just dropped for no apparent reasons. Perhaps, the stocks are being manipulated by some short sellers or they know something that we don’t. Over time, I have learnt to stick to quality companies with strong fundamentals - companies with strong earnings and growth potential and growth strategy. If the mar...

I’m excited that it’s now a brand new Year! I hope to be a better investor and trader.
- I have set a time horizon for my China stocks and recovery stocks; that is, if I don’t see much improvement in the next 3-6 months, I will cut loss and re-invest in some growth stocks (which I‘m determining currently - but will be the quality stocks with strong financials and growth fundamentals and potentials).
- I aim to cut the number of counters which Im currently holding to ...

Santa Claus rally refers to the tendency for market to rise in the last 5 trading days of the current year and the 1st 2 days of the new year.
The bulls think so but there are real challenges such as Omnicron spreads which are causing countries to reimpose restrictions or lockdowns, the Fed withdrawing liquidity and increasing interest rate in 2022, and rising inflation amongst all things.
The bulls think that while Omnicron is highly contagious, it is not as deadly considering the high rate of vaccination coupled with boosters. In addition, Countries are not inclined for a full shutdown and supply chain bottlenecks will ease (eventually) and any rate hikes will be slow.
On balance, I think there would still be a Santa Claus rally as I learned that the S&P 500 tends to rally in the last week of December based on historical data. It is likely that it will hit new highs later this month. This would indeed call for a celebration 🎉.
