Hands getting itchy while in the markets.Can make money from stocks during this time? Aiya now so many people ask me this question, one! :-0 Since I don't want to have to eat only towgay, kiam chye (this one no more cheap, leh) and tow kwa only I go to stock market also, la ( besides the wet markets and supermarkets ). (Firstly - do you have heart problems ? If you do have , stop reading this!!! :-P) Answer: Can, la !!! ... but don't expect too much, huh ... :P :-D But be judicious - be very selective and lean more ('heavily') on fundamentals. Take profit when there's 'enough' profit - don't expect profit margin (in general) to be as before - Then buy only when there are compelling/'convincing' reason(s) to do so. (I find myself holding for shorter duration(s) or with modest profit target(s)(- compared to that before the current financial debacle :-P ... a little bit kiasi already -:-D haaahaa). "Swear' , one must to be agile too - May have to do more jumping in and jumping out/off & 'swinging' from one to another.
Generally - Slow and 'staggered' (:-P ) accumulation on certain ('dark' :-D haaahaa) blue chips (and maybe on selectively-picked second-liners) to hold ('go intermediate' &/or 'long' . There's that possibility of taking 'small' profits now and then when and while certain stocks/counters go trending upward in the future. Just be sure that one stays invested .)
**This week/current - look see ... look see and pondering : HGMetal , AscottREIT; Ascendareit; Meiban, GoldenAgri: Allgreen; OCBC Bk; China XLX. Look for weakening of prices. Buy on weakness in price (but check on 'support' and/or ' resistance' level before acting ).
