In my opinion, you can't make money trading unless you are a genius. Big money is not in trading; it is in the waiting. The buy-and-hold strategy is still the best provided you know how to identify good stocks to buy.
I bet many people got burnt from this strategy and until this day can't recoup all their investments. Best strategy is to cut loss and ride the trend. You can still make profits if you are right 1/3 of the time.
Our economic and investment environment have changed that a buy and hold strategy is no longer valid or applicable. It would give better return if one is able to time market and ride the trend correctly. Of course, cut loss is an important part of the strategy.
How long is the hold though? 30-40 years. I think if you have enough money you can take advantages in trading especially with today technology where news travel so fast and computer put in trade in light speed. In US, even the SEC is paying attention how trader utilizing technology to take advantage in day to day trading activity. I think it is even easier to manipulate market like BURSA or other countries with volume similar to Malaysia. So i personally think enough money and time spent, you can make money from trading. Is like 10% winnig and 90% losing.. just need to figure out how the 10% do it.
Buy-and-hold strategy is normally for retirement people to grow up more money to live and also depends on the investor's objective. If for young generation, it is not suit because you have fresh legs to make more money. You can apply that strategy in the US stock market. But not in Malaysia. Here, there are many issues can affect the Index. Even it is just a small thing, it would cause red to Index. I fed up with Malaysia stock market and it is tired for waiting the uncertain things.It is good thing to ride the right trend and set the profit target so that you can lock the gain at right time
Investing is boring. The buy-and-hold strategy probably does not suit the majority. Who does not want excitement and make money at the same time? But let's be honest; how many have the skill to do that? It's easy to say: Cut your losses quickly and let your profits run. In actual case, it's much easier to cut your profits and let your losses run. Let's why many traders lose money and they will continue to lose money, trading. You are the exception if you can win.
Sorry, Let's should be That's in the above post. If you really have the ability to trade, you should trade the FKLI or the FCPO where you either go short or long. Presently, shorting stocks is illegal in Bursa and there is nothing you can do even when you see that a bear market is on track. But, with the FKLI or FCPO, you are legally okay if you short. Make sure you don't lose your skin, though. Go slow, be cautious.

Asked by one of our members, i thought maybe we can start a poll of which online broker do you use to trade Bursa stocks. Please reply with the url, pros and cons.
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no pure online brokers in Malaysia like those in the US and the broker fees are basically the same across all broking house unless your transaction size gets above a threshold where you can negotiate for a better price. Any broker friends here willing to shed some light or highlight why your brokerage is better than the others? :)
At ECMMoney.com costs you only 0.05% only until 31/8/2010. But Min. RM12.00
Is this min RM12 charging only base on below 4K per trade ? If trade in 10K or more,what is the rate ?
HLebroker M2U Jupiter OSK CIMB RHB
Which securities firm is most cheapest charging on line trading?
Thanks simon, So which one is the cheapest? Do they all charge the same fee like profitability mentioned ?
At JupiterOnLine, trades below 50k, per contract is 0.1%; for trades above 50k, per contract is 0.05%. Minimum per contract is RM10. At M2U, minimum per contract is RM8. Your can ask for rates as low as 0.1% for your trades. At OSK and KIB, the rate is 0.42%. I have no ideas about the others.
At MercuryOnline,brokerage rate 0.380%.
I think this time many Securities had lower down their rate,try to attract more clients or do more business.Jupiter's rate is quiet low,some more their members now can able to open the "Equities Tracker" to check the company's fundermental,div and many others,this websitepage total Free.They are using NextView software,from the chatting can able to see the candlestick moving in the real trading day.Is it too good??

I THINK BNM WILL RAISE INTEREST RATES SOON ! May be you are Bullish or Bearish.. Welcome to hear from you. I might have plug the idea from the air. Might be nonsense, but given the circumstances of weakening RM. It could mean something. Sometimes we need to play around with ideas so that when a reversal occurs we can be prepared to be Bullish or Bearish. Even though they increase the rates/i.e the market drops. I am still Bullish, get to buy them from bottom up
Some say interest will be raise by 75 basis. That is quite alot. How many points will that be? For now, leading Markets are pointing a reversal of trend. So I'm expecting a reversal from now onwards. Till announcement of interest rates comes out. Be on the look out for selling pressure. Good luck all. Welcome feedbacks
Only 25 basis for now. I have got no positions today. Cleared all with a hefty loss. But quite happy with it; pretty vague on how the the market would react on this announcement. Hope you all be safe in trading . May be we could pick up shares that are cheaper tomorrow onwards. As long as the bull is on track. Good luck
OMG.. such a strong bull. Did not correct at all. Amazing ! Up 11 points
Hope to see a continuation for at least this whole week. And hope to see Dow around 10900 for now.

1303 or around there was the previous high years back. Index shall be hitting there soon. I'm guessing it's a Resistance. What will happen? 1/ Index will test those levels a few time before Breakout higher 2/ Index test the resistance level; then will go down all the way We hope to see no 1, a BULL RUN In trading we hope to see the BETTER side but market is not so kind either. So have a stoploss somewhere. Hope to get some response here. Thx guys
yeah 1305 was the last high back in April 2008. That certainly is a "natural" resistance. Regardless if we get there or not, I don't think it is sustainable. As much as I hope for a bull market, I think the whole rally since we hit 800 is very overstretched and nearly done. Let's see...
REVERSAL DID HAPPENED HOPE NOW..REVERSAL UPWARDS
Ther reverse uptrend will definitely happen and it will be very soon. Now is the best time for buy on weakness
reversal already confirmed

Any views on what is short term price expected for this RCECAP stock? ANN
The Support Line is 0.58 to 0.66rm,and Resistance is 0.74 to 0.80rm,so wait till it break through the Supporting line.Today the closing price is 0.65rm.
Lets analyse the chart: The SMA20 is turning up while the stock closed (at 0.65) above SMA50 today. These are good signs of a possible uptrend starting out. But the fact that it also closed above the upper Bollinger band could somehow negate the push by the bulls. If it does climb (or crawl more like) up, it has to take out the resistances at 0.66 and 0.69 before going further up. The MACD looks favourable. The RSI still has some room to go, upwards-wise. The stochastics looks a bit suspect. So, be alert to the possibility of a new uptrend with some downside risks still present. Lets see if this view worth 2 sen or none at all....hehheh!
volume around 10M would be nice before a nice breakout! I like this setup. I'm predicting 80c [subject to volume]. Sell when i breaks support at 61c Gudluck all
3Q report out,making profit lei.

Notice the directors keep on selling this share, anyone got comment? i also read its biz seems to be good. Green tech is the future.
Last week,their directors "playing" their own counter,be careful.Downtrend stock.
today closed 0.42, already up from 0.395. seems like 0.40 is a strong support level.
when major shareholders or directors sell their own shares it is normally not a good sign. better to wait for the 1Q results which is going to be announced soon
Wait after the AGM on 25th Feb 2010 in Penang.

Good reversal point/support at 10K Let's wait for Monday for DJIA to confirm it's reversal trend. Make sure it closes above 10K. Hopefully Bursa follow through as well Gudluck everyone
i think dow shall close on Monday above 10060 to confirm the reversal and if this happen, that mean dow already see it first bottom and will continue to rebound until 10300 to 10400. Any breakthrough will confirm another up trend for dow.
With the proposal to create jobs by Obama could lead investors gain back their confidence to invest and this would push the Index to safe level which set to rebound. Moreover, Europe countries also set to follow the Dow.
I am sure the Dow will turn up back to 10,000 points tomorrow.
From a purely technical point of view. Finishing below 10k is very bearish. I'm a keen follower of Elliot Waves, we are on an impulsive down wave in U.S market. We 'might' bounce back above 10000(low probability), but should not go any higher than 10150. Dow is headed for multi-month decline at least.
I trust that Elliot waves might say that. But for me, there was a correction on Dow Jones last night by investor because of the result of the G7 meeting. Index has been drag down to close a little bit lower than previous day. However, it shows investor has turn up mind after slightly lower about 7 points open in the morning.
KLCI rose higher in the first session but volume has not reach to the same level as before. Most the third liner stocks' price not moving up. Chinese investors start lock the gain for ang pau. Only the blue chip counter will end higher.
There will be another bull run after CNY and dont miss out this last opportunity before market go south

That fella wants to buy the company at 90c Now it's trading at 82c cheaper by 8c which is nearly 10% It's so good in value! Further more I think the Board is going to reject and the offer will be raise to Rm 1.20 or 1.50 My 2 cents. Anybody got any idea to contribute?
What if the deal not materialised. I remember that fella mentioned abt going private somewhere end of 2008 when the price was around 40 sen.
Risk will always be there. We take risk all the time. Set a stop loss level. Gudluck
By Technical Analysis, volume has rose as the price close higher. This will boost the price will go up more to the takeover price. Besides, MACD also shows the signal to buy whereby there is crossover of blue line on pink line.
Then why KNM was down to 0.790 today?
Good spot ! Further discount
Yeah. I support it. When people sell we buy. The syndicate also wait at this moment to buy at cheap price, then lock the gain when the right price come.
KNM will gain up again tomorrow after lower opening in the morning and lower close yesterday.
More discount will come out for this coming chinese new year. People mostly chinese will start sell today to take out the money for the celebration. The price will end lower this week.

OMG! There's a gap in between ytd's and today's candlestick. It is now trading at the lowest price in its history. Anybody know any bad news which causes the fall in price of this share?
Based on technical view, the bearish has breakdown two moving average which are 50 days and 200 days. Even the MACD also shows the sign to be bearish and should sell on 26th Jan. If you see candlestick, the candle gave a sign that would turn down more when the price went up high but close lower the day before yesterday.
