2 questions. How long have you been in the stock market and what is your total return over that time?

Instead of keeping money, why not put your money in less risk counter like good reit, good dividend counter like tasek, bplant or even maybank. If you lucky n good in timing you may also gain from capital appreciation.

Wahaha!

Like TTB I have prepared far ahead for a bear market. All along I only invested less than 5% of my capital in the stock market.

Hmmm? Time to liquidate more assets and get ready to buy stocks at rock bottom prices?

Yahooooooo!

Bingo.....this is an important indication....it is time to buy....when ppl are already frustrated n giving up with the market, it is time to buy.......likewise when everyone is excited abt how high a market can go, it is an indication to sell....when market is hot, everywhere got tips, now market in doldrum, why no tips? Tips are traps n those who buy based on tips are the ones that get burned!

I remember WB said he does not care about Macro factors. What we need in i3 is more company analysis whether the company is good or not, right or wrong, whether you like it or not, they do not matter. What is not important now may become important later on. We should constantly acquirement knowledge whether the knowledge is applicable now or later on. This is the most stupid article I have read this year.

What a waste for not investing in BURSA. I am seeing a lot of opportunity coming in 2H. Anyway, by then I am sure you are quietly making a come back...haha, cheers.

Dont be too choosy la. A lot of opporturnity in certain growth counters and not overvalued. Expect more in the next 6 months when their new plants or new factory start kicking in.

Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism and finally die on EUPHORIA. Where r v now?

Ruslimz, betul3x. At least 80% of the retailers are eventual losers. The biggest winners are Mr. Market's best friends, the sharks who thrive on the former's strong support.

Posted by Lk036 > 2016-06-18 00:24 | Report Abuse

Agreed, most retailer lost money in trading share market. So how friend if one still want in equity. A) buy reit. B) invest in good dividend stock like tasek, bplant. C) buy only when market crash d) buy follow icon8888

not a bad idea actually to stop buying temporarily, until the next big crash.

U will never get rich by putting your excess money in EPF or Bank according to expert. Good traders make money in any type of trends may it be bull,bear or side way movement. There is no end learning in shares market cos style of playing changes rapidly. Making money is not easy in market neither is difficult. Don't give up Bro
