What Shares To Invest?????

[jazz_samz]

Agree.. if you are unable to keep tab of the developments, it definitely makes more sense to spread yr investment capital. Unless you have somebody dependable to help keep an eagle eye on yr counters...

For me, I have somebody reporting every 5 - 10mins hahah so have an edge to be slightly more aggressive...

The thing is that its not easy to 'switch' yr strategy fast unless you are able to make an informed decision... Like bro A.C.E. (armchaireconomist.. good abbrev aey?) mentioned, you have to adopt the strategy which best suits yr ability / portfolio / investment pocket.

I've made steps to take a 180 deg abt turn strategy liao.... i.e. Not looking at how the counters are gaining but the opposite...

well... again it depends on what strategy we are after...
I'd rather spread across the stock market to money as well. Yes.. maybe slower... I don't really want to keep looking at the screens...

Well done... Good to hear brothers...

Like I said.. I went GA GA and made my claim of 22% before lunch too...

I don't like to announce the stock names of the immediate stocks I am after... there may be implications but if stocks that are meant for long term investments, its not to sensitive then

Be careful of false dawn... How the reasue plans works out is still to be seen.

I'm not a pessimist. Just a realist. But at least there is something to cheer about in the short term. All rescue packages comes at a cost. Someone has to pay sooner or later. And its not going to be the politicians (who will look good looking like heroes)... but the taxpayers. The effects of this crisis will be far reaching...

Good morning. Signs look good. Let's all hope for a good day today. US did well as a whole last nite and so did FTSE.
I will be going GA GA today.

Nope.. bottom line is you have to KNOW what you are doing and definitely a good broker helps alot... Enjoying yr watches will only be a temporary relief but it surely won't get you more watches
For you bro, you should hibernate.....

Bottom line here...enjoy your watches

I agree but there are good opportunities to capture when the hopes are high and cash out within a short span of time.. my definition of "immediate stocks"... I reckon its okay to take measured risk but not go for the kill in hope to make back losses... a gambler's mentality will only result in deeper losses....

IMHO, Singapore stock market fundamentals are very different from Aus... Our economy are driven differently but definitely if it the global economic market slump till an extend of a MELTDOWN, it won't be wise to NOT jump ship if your holding stocks aren't the pillars blue chips of that respective stock exchange. Cutting loss then will only free up funds for you to take up better opportunities. Holding on to a heavy blue chip stock may set you back yrs to recover its losses....

my take on this: hold on abit, and dont jump in if you are not prepared to lose the money. in times like this, you can make a fortune, but at the same time lose it too.

i am currently eyeing mining shares (bluechips) on my side, on the expectation that the mining boom will still go strong thanks to india/china growth.

on the other hand, i would also like to consider some shares in finance/banking sector - but since i am a risk adverse type person, i will wait for a while.

Again, IMHO, our stock market is generally taking the lead of N225, HSI and some extend ASX... STI should be the strongest index when compared to other SEA Stock Markets, so even if the others in this region are down, it is not necessarily so for STI.
N225 maybe down 9.6% but their Yen is counter balancing the impact... It won't be too good a scenario for JPN if both N225 and Yen are performing aggressively at this economic climate as its only the opening day of the week AFTER a collapse last week. I am looking at the Yen's impact used in Global trading.
If DOW closes positive by at least 5%, I think N225 will do well tomorrow and hopefully the rest of Asia... (at least for tomorrow for now...) Lets pray and hope...

agreed. that is why i cannot make sense. some markets up, some markets down, yet sg market up so much. dont understand.

Good luck to all for tomorrow....

If someone here tells you to buy "Cosco" and "Hyflux", don't listen to them...
If someone here tells you to buy Rolex, trust them...

My 2cents...
