I follow the smell of money.

* This artice was originally published on 24 August 2015. I am reproducing it to welcome Mr. Bear's come back (after last round being defeated by us kow kow) *

 

Dear Mr. Bear,

 

You have a lot of fun recently. 

 

You growl, you thunder, you bare your fangs. 

 

You scared many people. But you can't scare me. 

 

I WILL FIGHT YOU

 

I dare you to drag FBMKLCI down to 1,500, to 1,000, to 500, to 250. 

 

I dare you to drag our banking system into a crisis.

 

I dare you to drag our economy into a recession.

 

I have got all my bullets ready. And I am going to fire at you. 

 

Bullet after bullet. Round after round.

 

I will be patient, I will be slow, I will be determined. 

 

But I will defeat you.

 

You will become my dinner. You will become Bear Rendang. You will become Bear Sashimi. You will become Bear Burger. You will become Bear Satay.

 

You have been warned.

Actually every event will eventually rebound.
Great depression -> Asian Financial crisis -> 911 -> 2008 subprime -> Oil crash -> Brexit -> Trump won. lol

Eh pls. Paper loss is more than that! :)

Cause 17% (actually) drop you need 18.3% to gain back. Not to mention i got much more money in the market now than what i started with last year.

Icon, The last fought with bear in 2015 cud b very different fm current scenario!
It's better to b cautious as the melt down since beginning of tis year may turn into world financial crisis!
Unprotected capital may melt down to a point where many yrs needed to return, that is provided a strong company!
Many signs pointed to potential crash, just need a trigger!

2018-04-04 20:43

Jon Choivo

Haha not a trader. So i can just swallow all the way down.

2018-04-04 20:51

Jon Choivo

Good luck to you too.

May i suggest you consider value investing if crisis/downtrend happen.

Value investing works best when everything is dropping like flies. :)

Don't run away too fast.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Wednesday he expects trade actions between the United States and China will likely lead to a negotiated deal, but that it was unclear whether such talks would happen by the end of May or later.

"It wouldn't be surprising at all if the net outcome of all this is some sort of a negotiation," Ross said in an interview with CNBC. "It's very difficult to put a specific time denomination on negotiations that are as complex as these."

Haha

China's response is a surprise for some people," said Julian Evans-Pritchard, senior China economist at Capital Economics, noting that neither said had yet called for enforcement of the tariffs.

"It's more of a game of brinkmanship, making it clear what the cost would be, in the hopes that both sides can come to agreement and none of these tariffs will come into force," he said.

Beijing's list of 25 percent additional tariffs on U.S. goods covers 106 items with a trade value matching the $50 billion targeted on Washington's list, China's commerce and finance ministries said. The effective date depends on when the U.S. action takes effect.

Is it Trump trying to create reasons (chaos) to dump market sentiments pathing the way for FED board to block interest hike in the remaining months...high probability. lol

2018-04-05 11:51

We may witness DJ to break new high in coming months in the absent of interest rates hike.

Imo, people who play margin are greedy people.
If no money, don't play stock market.
If got enough money, just use the disposable one.

Bear bear is coming

2018-12-23 16:43

UnicornP

Don't fight the bear. Kill it instead by punting index put warrants. You can't fight the bear because official economic data is showing economic downturn coming which may eventually lead to recession. Or you may just hug your millions of cash and go hibernate until 2021 which is confirmed a bull market reborn.

2018-12-23 16:49

feimah

This coming recession will be massive. Our economy depend too much on oil, trade n export. Weak in domestic consumption coupled with higher tax. I think bull may return after 2021.

2018-12-23 16:59

freetospeak

the fed still can cut rate 9 x how to recession...lol

The major U.S. stocks indexes accelerated declines in the last hour of trading after White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said the United States and China might not reach a trade deal at the close of a 90-day negotiating window unless Beijing can agree to a profound overhaul of its economic policies.

Nicholasming91

I guess the bear even doesnt want to be a bear anymore..

2018-12-24 11:42

UnicornP

I guess stock market works like this.
Firstly a bad event like 911 or recession fear comes. Then the panic ones all exit first, left those unafraid ones holding. Then after a while interested outsiders came buying bit by bit while the fearful ones still stay sideline. So at this point the stocks will start rising again. Then until a certain high point those fearful ones came in again chasing high. And bad event happens again, cycle repeats...
WOW IM SUCH A GENIUS !!!

2018-12-24 11:53

UnicornP

The most important point is you must exit before the panic ones rushing out. And collect when the market is quiet like Arctic.

2018-12-24 11:59

Lol.. LFM pushing high for this round. Not sure how long it may last.
