Oh No YS1 I hope you juz play2 this one when u bought @.625 - Pls dun get taken by their Masterskill name - the only thing they're good at is killing punters :( they absolutely have no skills at all and they ain't no masters too otherwise the share won't drop from what 4 bucks to .40 cents :( Am not sure why you always jump from one hot potatoe to another - sorry I have to be 'hard' on u cause I consider you as a good fren here even though I have a habit of always teasing u before :) I've known you for sometime now since the good old days where we manned General Lee's fort and my hope is one day after you escape from the evil Lee clutches you will like me move to a correct path i.e in fundamental investing and thought you've done that after you repeatedly mentioned Kcchongnz is your sifu and that you will follow his investment style but now seems not. what happened? I know you're still young and according to my ex GF sometime back that you're a very good swimmer with all the arsenal of styles like Michael Phelps so why don't you take the opportunity to learn (since you're very much capable) and have time on your side to seriously consider asking our good friend Kcchongnz help. I know he will be conducting a class of FA investing soon. The money you 'invested' in all these sad to say junk of the JUNKS is juz a small amount of his course fees and you will easily get back from the wisdom of his investment teachings - he has proven to be one of the best here in FA if not the best and with his guidance I have absolutely no doubt that you will do very well in your future selection of stocks and also understanding the concept of value investing and not punting on flavor of the day and then hope and pray simultaneously that it will rise up someday and not keep dropping after you've realized your mistake. An opportunity like kc's dun come by often so pls take full advantage of it. we get lucky once, twice but soon our luck will run out when we punt on these junks - trust me I've been there and am sure you have too :( I still hope you consider me as a fren as I do to you otherwise I won't even bother to write this. All said I wish you the very best and come to your senses soon :)
yungshen , u are too optimism... But today it broke 14 days moving average.. I worry it will take time to consolidate... Beware..Tomorrow 200 days moving average is around 0.413 & middle bolling band is around 0.42... Today I sold out 50% of my Megb shares..
Yeah, this Gary is a very smart guy, without spend a single cent, he manage get on board with his wife and get Masterskill to buy share in his company at a premium.....
Today being Friday, will be sharp drop. Might buy at 0.40-0.41
Question now is, what biz is this co in? FnB Kah? They only talk about bright future in the co they had a minority share holding in. Nothing about MEGB's education future. What can investors look forward to? Once, I realized that I terus cabot ! Imagine a co even it's majority shareholders had no confidence in and sold out ALL their shares! If that is not dramatic enough, what is?
And if it's eyeing gambling biz, itu haram for d Muslims.
If I want to invest in gambling biz, I'd have invested in bjtoto n Genting.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
