It’s human nature to be emotional, and life is richer for it. But it reduces investment returns. Many people make systematic errors in their investment thinking, due to their emotions, egos and innate cognitive biases. They suffer from confirmation bias, tending to seek out and find evidence to support their position rather than evidence that might refute it. They think about risk more when things are already going badly and less when prices are already up. They resist admitting mistakes and hold their losers too long. They think about how they’ll spend the money they’re expecting to make from investing, and this can cloud their judgment and encourage excessive risk-taking. They’re overly optimistic and overly confident about their investment abilities, which is dangerous. By contrast, Buffett is a paragon of rationality. His investment decisions are insulated from such emotionality. He has said he’d never give up a good night’s sleep for a chance at a slightly better return. He thinks long term and so he doesn’t panic when the market falls; instead, he sees drops as buying opportunities. To invest better, become a student of human psychology. Learn how emotions lead to cognitive errors, so that you can avoid those errors and benefit when others make them.
Okay, may be i shall keep till 0.55. Why i have such sudden decision?? I think mpcorp will not lower than 0.50 until the new shares have been issued. However hard the price can not sustained at above 0.50, major shareholder will definitely interrupt as nobody is willing to buy the new shares if the market price below 0.50.
It is a good chance for calvin and choongpooh to dispose their shares at higher level. Although i am not so happy with choongpooh i prefer to give him proper advise. Choongpooh, wake up. Your dream is sweet, but the reality is cruel.
In short term, this particular stock would not be attractive. If get small earnings, i will shift my capital to BJCORP. The UMOBILE is going to be listed soon. Follow me, i am the one who can lead you guys to correct path.
AWC introduced by cytew can give good return in very short period. I am watching its movement and will give proper considerations before i make my decision.
TPY Bought at 55 cents. Your cost is 42 cents. So 55 -42 = 13 cents discount which is 29% Discount! Very Smart Buy! Just like Buying Mui Bhd at 15 cents or PM Corp at 9 cents.
Calvin always love to buy something that nobody want. SO GREAT BARGAIN HAS EMERGED FOR MP CORP!
