When the news is out, it's already too late those who bought earlier have not yet sold their shares. Suddenly, the news hit and they can't even run as it drop so much in one day.

In the first place, this stock is giving dividend.
Just like Muhibah, the stock is nof fire, but can suddenly spark up a big fire.
So, there is no safe stocks to buy at all at KLSE.

What I mean to say is that we may not be playing the fire stock like Mtronic or those goreng because of news or rumours.
We are buying a good stock that can so suddenly collapsed and become fire.
just all because of revenue down,

Hi all

Noobie : Those are good questions. To trade or invest in proper manner, it is not as easy as buy good stocks or sell when revenues decrease. More factors to it. If one bought Genting at rm11, at rm9 now is deemed cheap? We need to know why Genting being pushed up to rm11 and why it is downtrending now. Know what I mean? The chances that Genting drops 20 to 30% per day is very remote, I won't say not possible. Think of it, do u think muhibah is good fundamentally? Why do u say so? If it is good, why cimb want out? Anything to do with political risk? Etc etc. Giving dividends also may not be a good stock. Hence, many criteria to consider before one trade or invest.

Time frame. Please consider that in ones trading plan. Do we plan in the first place?

So, general rules ... Do not touch goreng stocks. If one is telling me Genting is cheap at rm11 as the target was rm13 by our friendly analysts, then rm9 should be a cheap sales? Wait a minute, klci at new high ... The risk is much higher to buy at rm9, how about rm7. Will that be a good entry price? Perhaps rm5 is cheap enough and we do not expect it to go to rm3 again? Why yes? Why not?

Thinking critically is very important. Only very few in markets will use brain to think, do their own homework and analysis. Do not trust your broker reports.

TEH
