"people want to invest, they want to be successful.......they need to have big dreams, and grit....and of course, knowledge and mind set."

In the last 18 months, a lot of people lost a lot of money...............here are some useful thoughts and ruminations.

 

- Winners become Emperors, Losers become prisoners.  Everyone loves a winner, don't they? In reality winners and losers come from the same stock, most often with same ambitions and abilities.   No need to treat Emperors and prisoners differently.......often, it is down to luck. Chinese call it fate...fated....I think it is good attitude.

 

- But great success is luck....luck including when and where and to whom born. Slow success is skill and hardwork............Re stock market, there is nothing CFA can teach except diversification . CFA sylabus has little to say about FA and TA.. Most of the CFA sylabus is devoted to portfolio theories. Professors of finance after all are on the side of random walk theory.   

  Great success is luck; moderate success is skill......and as for individual success and failure.....it is about practice, habits and characters .....some times the market favors certain habits and characters, some times another set of habits and characters....as Buddhists like to say, there is no permanence, only changes.

 

- The real lesson is...success and failure are two sides of the same coin. Stock market performance is about practise, habits and character. The same practise, habits and character that leads to super profits in good times are  the same practise, habits and character that leads to huge losses in bad times. Habits and characters don't change. 

 

- stock market.....best viewed as a personal adventure....and people's habits and characters cannot change 
 
 
- knowledge is not skill. Skill comes from practise and habits and repetitions. U can teach all the knowledge in the world, in the final analysis , no use one.  For the recipient of the knowledge no use without personal practise, habit and character.
 
 
- The old Chinese philosophers got it right when they are very careful in choosing who to teach.......teaching to the wrong people, the public in this case.....only produces bad results and unintended consequences.
 
 
ps....The fairy tale of Buffalology is a billion dollar industry. On it rests the foundation of capitalism. For the vast majority of people, it will remain a fairy tale until the day they die. And there is little you can do about it. 
 
In the end, the randomness of the U curve rules. The vast majority will be in the middle and some at either ends....and your position in life is down to luck.

i no lose yet, but no gain also, i already anticipated based on last year, something was very wrong and this year even worse. Next year, i don't know.

If one is an active participant in the market and is observant of the overall market, he should sense something was wrong.

When market is flashing red, one shouldn't' be dancing on the street like everything is as usual.

Even sifus who been very long in the market actually were behaving as if everything was as usual, this is the weird part.

I opposite with you guys. In 2015 volatile market I earned a lot. 2016 earned meagre. 2017 bull market lost a lot. 2018 turbulence market earned reasonably. My conclusion is all depends on what stocks u buy.
Eg: 2015 star - JHM & export stocks
2016 star - Airasia
2017 star - Vitrox & all tech stocks
2018 star - Leesk, Dufu, Frontkn so much more.

But sometimes I suspect that operators have become smarter over the years thus we as retailers have a hard time making a killing.

Qqq3 do u want to confess?

qqq3 takes KYY to Holland.
qqq3 caused KYY to lose a lot of money on Jaks.
This big loss (money) can help a lot of students, unfortunately, it is damaged by qqq3.
qqq3 is still in denial mode, wasting time to talk here.
It is best to hentam him kaw kaw like what CharlesT said.

I was already in the market when Riverview was trading at RM100 a share, about the same time when a minister said "Don't say we did not warn you?", then the market crashed. Index then was 1,300 only.

I sold MYEG recently just before it was suspended on the later of that day at RM1.07 , after the suspension, it went as high as RM1.30 or more. Friends have said "I have no balls". Could have made more.

GENM case, I made some, from RM3.06, i sold at RM3.16, and it went down progressively. Did i have balls?

Friends said we need skill not luck but i think we need both, when looking at those events that were happening.

New person enter the market today for years to come, may not be sure making profit in future. Otherwise, friends can no need stay as an agent but buy all the can and earn more from even contra profits than those commissions.

I can not be sure, whether MYEG will go down since they will relocate their GST resources to overseas. GENM will suffer if the QR is a loss one.

To me, i need more luck.

myeg and genm shareholder kesian, when news out, no time to run also.

Maybe a different holding horizon (a longer) can help. Short term price movement can really go crazy (see armada).

Alex, my own lesson learned, if the person loss lesser the he has made, it is very good already, still got profits, very admirable because they are actually not many such guys, given at any season, does not matters whether you are skillful or not that skillful. Is the Jaks big investor skillful?

US will hold off on raising China tariffs to 25% as Trump and Xi agree to a 90-day trade truce

so what is Art of the Deal?

It is nothing but bullying, may even be described as immoral.....It is very different from Christian values and Confucian values and all the good values that we are used to. It is very different from Rule of Law.

Trump's Art of the Deal is Rule of the Jungle, not rule of law.

So...now , he started the trade war....and he declares truce and becomes hero?

Not so simple......Trump's only popular card for his base is his racist anti China policies....He cannot just give it up....Trump will have to double down later......
