I think if the market doesn't improves quickly, i have to keep all my counters for my kids. . My biggest lost in currently Allgreen followed closely by Bovest. Should have sold all my Allgreen at 1.95, but greedy me....

 

Can you guys frequent Starbucks & Burger King more often.... to help improve my stocks. Ha ha. My SIA Engg stocks also jia lat..... i bought it $4++

You lose some.... you make some.... have to accept that.

Bear markets must run their course and this one doesn't look like it has yet.

 

They are really useful for cutting your teeth as an investor - I've learnt much from the past 2 in the last decade. "Never test the depth of the water with both feet."

Luckily i had released some of my stocks to buy my bike before the US down turn. I had initially wanted to pay off the bike using my savings, luckily i didn't make that move. The gap was close to 2k difference (each) from when i sold my stocks off to current market rate. I had also just received the dividend pay out..... i guess it's just the right timing. At least my bike's value is not dropping as fast as these stocks.... my paper loss is quite high now. Sigh.... lets home for a better tmrw

Land Banking now? Do you think its going to work out with the current sub primes crises in the US? It's something you can consider but your timing a bit out bro.... I nearly ventured into buying some small pieces of land in the UAE a few years back.... but last minute backed out and put my money in the Singapore Stock Exchange.

DJ, UAE property boomed in the last few years.

Now UAE is probably the safest place in the whole world, haha

I just started working a few years back after finishing school so at that point of time, i had to put everything i had to do the land banking investment. I did some research but felt that this was something i couldn't constantly be there to monitor and "changes". So i decided to put my money locally.

 

Yeah, guess i would have been able to owned a small piece of land there and sold it off at a comfortable margin.... its all about gut feeling and timing.... I was looking at another Abedeen India investment at that time too. Dumped in 5k but not sure what happened now. Think its about time to call my invester to find out now.... maybe can buy another bike already. Ha ha.

Heard that there are oil project over there and lately there are also lot of job opportunity created by the sand oil project, truck driver are getting 12k canadian dollar a month....

I was introduced to it by my colleague's friend who was working a few levels above my office. That was back in '04, 4 years ago. Not sure if he's still up there.... you're interested in doing land banking in Dubai and UAE?

After reading your post, I can't help but keep thinking of what could have been. Rats! It's like kicking yourself in the nuts. Sigh....

No no no.....thats bad.

 

The first rule of investing is never think of what it could have been.

Think of what it will be. heh heh

 

good luck to us.

Interested with the revenue, heard that it's not bad, not sure how true it is?

[paithorn]

haha, Paithorn.

Can you imagine if you had bot something else other than ST Eng. You would be down a lot more loh.

 

By the way what level did you buy?

 

I bot at about $3.15 1st time and $2.59 recently.

 

no problem lah, just hang in there.

 

My ST ENG average is now $3.02.... so paper lose big time cos I went in average down twice...

 

Also bought the YZJ....at $0.97

As long as you dont leverage to trade margin, you will only lose your own money at most. I'm sure you were already prepared to lose when you first put your money in. so should be no issue even though a bit painful.

 

losing own money is fine. in life, we all make decisions that sometimes win , sometimes lose. It's ok lah, Bro. this time we lose, next time we try to win back.

 

Good luck to us.

[paithorn]

Yup, agreed bro...

Hindsight is always 20-20. If you buy now and it goes down further, you'll kick yourself for buying too early. If you don't buy now and it goes up and never goes down, you'll kick yourself for missing the boat.

 

For small fries like myself, I've realized it's useless to do any sort of analysis. Just think of yourself as a coconut bobbing on the waves. You'll be carried wherever the BBs carry you to.
