Are our hopes high in the market or is it immature?

Are we really expecting the market to move up soon or is this market immature? or importantly are we immature not to understand this funny behaviour?
There are so many moves on illiquids, bull#$#% companies where Qtr-Qtr losses go infront of their names and companies.. Companies announce freaking rights issues and suddenly emerge winners.. on the other hand good banks letting the smaller investors down by amending the rights issues as they wish time to time..

I only see companies with growth prospects, future value go down everyday.. Theres no end to this..
See wats happening to LOLC, DIMO, LCEY... to name a few..

Yes every other share but fundamentals are going up time to time but good ones are making us losses everyday.

Agree this short term ( actually medium term) price depreciations are quite depressing specially to see %&%&^ shares go up.

But hold solid companies long term and we will be the victors.Patience is the key so the weeds will self mutilate themselves to learn their lessons. Right now the way %&^%^& is going up it seems the idiom "even to kill dogs to make money" is okay.

I saw an article even foriegners are worried about manipulation and insider deals at CSE. CSE, SEC and investors( should I say gamblers)both need to mature to sustain this market.

1. Forget the ASI & MPI; they are probably flawed anyway.
2. Look at the specific companies instead. Get rid of the junk in your portfolio.
3. Remember: You are not just buying shares; you are buying part-ownership of a company.
4. Therefore, buy only businesses that you understand.
5. Do not wait for rallies. Stop chasing bubbles.
6. Start thinking long term. It takes time for a caterpillar to become a butterfly.
7. Buy and hold. Don't even look for selling opportunities.
8. Buy only fundamentally strong companies. That means profitable growth and an attractive asset base.
9. Analyze the quarterly results diligently. If performance is great, buy more; if not, reduce your exposure. Keep validating your assumptions.
10. Lock up your shares for a year and throw away the key!
If you follow these rules - In one year from now, you will be a richer and calmer investor.

very true . . . . .

SL.Market - well, good job on the findings. A committed trader will have greatly benefited by those.

but, it is not just right for investors. There are people who can't be in front of a machine all the time to monitor. some even wont have the time to check after work. If they get too frustrated by the quick movements they are going to lose.

Antonym's points are excellent for an investor.

yeah in cse we need to be in front of a machine all the time. otherwise we are too late. Its too fast that prices get up and then go down. if you away for few more hours you miss the rally.

I think for the investors who cant be seated in front of the computer during the cse working time best option is investing in Fundermantaly strong medium and long term stocks.

unless you want to take that extra risk to get exorbitant profits, you don't have to do that. I believe that a decent gain can be made in the mid to long term. All depends on your expectations in life

Good advise + Rep from me just wanted to add few things from my opinion.

1. Have two accounts
2. Invest 70%-80% one account as per Antonym's philosophy.
3. Don't even bother to read the monthly CDS statement but keep the eyes open
4. Balance into the second account with online trading.
5. Try to follow the technical analysis and get in to the train early. (If this is difficult try to follow the penny shares)
6. Don't be greedy get out at a reasonable return.


This is what I practice and I sleep well. I do not have a time to sit on the computer throughout the day to trade but I still gain on my 25% trading portfolio.

thank you very match your ideas very attractive keep following.

look guys the smart people will win. the market maybe flat but there is money to be made.

I've been consistently making good money since early april. Be smart about where you invest, let go of stock that are not exhibiting what you were expecting them exhibit.

Can you be my investment adviser?

Most investors make money when markets are flat and on a down ward slope, if they select a stock they will stick to it and by more when there is blood in the market. How ever advice is when the market is dipping collect your chosen stocks in small qty's. This will be not possible if you are a day trader or a short term trader.

@ Antonym - good insight for an investor. Thanks.
