Wonder what could be the best strategy these days for survival;
Bargain hunting?
short selling?
Averaging?
Stay calm and wait?
Stay out of the market??

All these are best strategies depending on the share except the last one if it is not corrected like 'Stay out of the share'

These days u can faith on gambling than CSE. CSE is killed brutally by its damn regulators. Best thing is don't even look at it until u hear a good news of it. that is also highly uncertain. Keep ur hard earned money with u, FD, Buying a property, start ur own business are the best options.
CSE is the killing field.
Market went up on its own control and by retailers hard earned money. There was many regulations to control its up trend. that's good ,cos otherwise that bubble would have blasted. But when the market going down like nothing regulators do more harm than helping to save the market and retailers. Whose agenda is this?
This treatment method was so famous as "LEDA MALATH BADA SUDDAI"

Best strategy these days is to get rid of the credit burden and go on a low profile without leading to a worse situation. High chances of burning fingers these days.

ASI will touch the bottom and will turn around shortly. Be patient and start collections. If no money hold on till the market gains momentum. Don't go for panic selling or purchasing.

If you have money put them in FD or Treasury Bills (TB). If possible, you may sell even (large?) part of your equity portfolio and invest in FD, TB and other fixed income securities for few months. It is clear where the market is heading. The truth is bitter. Realizing bitterness is even more bitter!

You may realize by now credit clearance is not the problem here. As I mentioned on other day, credit clearance is the wound of beggar. It used to cover up market down turn. Now UN is there to blame for market drop. Neither is real reasons. The truth is as a whole CSE is overvalued according to my current thinking.

Never think that things are so low in any stock market, things can go unthinkably low.

But if we hold shares with great reputable companies then no need to worry we can gain lot when market comes to the positive trend. But in that case we need to hold the most suitable shares other wise it may end up with huge loos. Smile

There are still trading opportunities. Plenty of counters for good technical traders. But be careful. Be bold, but don't be too greedy.

Alot of problems here is that people trade value like they're trading trend. Yes, there plenty of counters that look attractive as far as valuations are concerned. but these same counters look weak as far as trend is concerned. If you buy on value. Be prepared to absorb 10-20% losses, and don't expect returns anytime soon. When the market bounces back you'll get your returns. You'll just have to wait until that happens.

What mono is trying to say is that the trend is your friend. In CSE since you cant short, upward trend is your friend. do not buy when the price of the stock is trending down. by doing so you are only trying to catch falling knives. Overall market may be down. who cares. you trade only the ones that go up. one way to determine the trend direction is by observing how the moving averages are stacked up and the slope. I use (8,30,50,200) these days.

also do not use historical support price levels for entry these days. also use stop loss protection at all times. if the trade didnt work in your favour within minutes abandon ship pronto. i cant stress this enough. do not grant you self the opportunity to average prices in the long run if you are a wise trader Smile

overall market is going down on low volume. there will be a recovery soon. bom

Very true!

I believe in applying both valuation as well as technical at the same time.
