That is why the one loses money keep losing.

One of the best articles about investing I ever read. Those who're still chasing for super stocks like HY.. strongly recommend to read this.

Tongher, Jaycorp, Liihen, Bstead plantation..

True. Only the so-called super investor can afford with margin account. But I guess being a good investor is just fine, cheers.

Now I know which level I belong to...:)

KYY's girl friend.

Can invest anytime, be it bull or bear. Just remember:NEVER SAILANG.

Hahaha.... interesting and a good article to kick start the new year.

YTL is a family business. They are the hardest hit if business not doing well. MOST importantly, the late founder is leaving a good ethnicity for his family...safe to invest in this counter.

The thing I see is that KYY is using his influence to hard sell HY. Yes HY is doing fantastic at the moment, but comparing it to brand names like Nestle, Dutchlady, Panasonic... Well,I can imagine a rosy picture appears in everyone's mind. Good luck to all the late comer in HY.

Hmm... sell and run when the price drop like no tomorrow, buy and pursue when hitting all time high... just make sense that most people unable accumulating wealth ==

This song fully describe my feeling now...TT

Feel like wanted to pass a towel to him ^^

Just wonder when did author start accumulating shares?...

Words of wisdom from Author, thanks.

So funny... but absolutely agree.

GOOD article...

True, cyclical stock. Buy when everybody forget it. Doesn't matter if it will trade at high PE or not in the near future. As long as the business is stable, management is sincere, and dividend is paid out consistently, it is at least worth keeping. Just wait when it becomes hot again, simple.

I was misled by Perstim annual report. For the past 3 to 4 years, their management always stated that the future prospect is going to be tough and challenging. Year after year they keep doing fine and dividend is increasing too. Otherwise I should have invested more and much earlier. This happens to Uchitect as well.

Good one.

wow... are you a millionaire now?

Old man with small heart....

Wow.... great marketing.

I think the writer is looking at it purely as house buying matter,and not an investment. This is the fact. Many people end up bankrupted because fail to pay house loan. Don't easily committed to such a 'debt' if you are not ready. At the end, the investment might end up as liability.

Nice picture...like it.

Still it is a good piece of information, easily digested and no complicated jargon. Anyway just for reference and every investor should judge it independently. Thanks for uploading.

A nice one.TQ.

Siawhui, I bet you dare not buy if really reaches 2.20... at that level, people might expect it to go down further to 2.00, 1.80, 1.60.... I have seen so many comments like this. Fear and greedy never stay away from our life.

Agree.

Agree with pisanggoreng.

Thanks for sharing, like especially the wedding story.

Poor soul with lots of money... am I one of them?

The writer has his point and strength, and also weakness. Think again and don't just follow blindly.

You know what the market player is doing?

Typical mindset... everyone hope that the price will go lower and lower. But when reaching the said level, just wondering how many out there will really enter the market?

Lol... interesting.

Saving is good....but I feel pity for her.

Besides, saving is not just for the purpose of investing/creating passive income. Some people might need it for other situation, like paying medical bills, education fund,wedding,loans or enjoying good meal/vacation with the loves one..etc. When the saving is sufficient, you can have more options in your life compared to others. That is the meaning of this article.

I dont mind winning every football match by 1-0. But I hate scoring 3 goals and concede 5 goals at the end.

Maomaochong, if don't start saving, where is the money for investment to fight inflation and grow wealth for the future? Maybe you have rich daddy, but most people don't.

Again, it is down to doing your homework, no free lunch. If you are too lazy, ignorant, don't know how or have no confident at your judgement, then better look for other options. Eg. invest in dividend yield stock or blue chips. Choose the method that best suit you. Your effort will determine how much you will gain from stock market.

In order to get prediction(of earning growth) correct, one has to do a lot, a lot of homework. I wonder how many of genuine investors out there are really doing this consistently and seriously? Not to mention majority of investors who still have 9-5 daily job. Besides the regular job, I believe many of us still have other things to take care of: family, friendship, love, sports and many more.

I really salute those who devote themselves fully to investment/trading. I might not be able to do that.

So, choose the investing method that best suits your life style.

I agree... talking something in general is useless.

"复杂的事简单做，简单的事正确做，正确的事常常做"

Great. Even though I dont know where did he get this pharase from, but it really sounds like Coldeye's philosophy.

So many disclaimers.... looks like people only accept credits but avoid critics.

If looking for similar dividend play, I might prefer STAR MEDIA over Magnum.

I think one has to be very clear of the reason when a decision is made. You want to be a trader or businessman because you are tired of fixed hourly job? you are getting a lot of satisfaction, or just because you wish to make millions of money? If you are still doubtful about your action now, for sure the determination wont be there, and very likely you will fail.

Well described.

Interesting...
