Time Start Thinking Investing Stock for Long Term

AndrewPKYap SG

How is starting a business the same as buying and selling stocks and shares?

sillyme SG

In both instances, you own the business. If you are an investor, you own the business. However, if you treat stocks/shares as trading items, then we are on different boats. Then there is no need to discuss anymore.

Should the business close down just because there is a recession? No.

Should investors sell their shares when they see a downturn in the business? Yes.

Are minority shares holders the same as majority share holders? No?

Just because there are some similarities between business owners and investors, does it mean that they are the same thing? No. Otherwise wives would the the same as prostitutes because there are some similarities, like they are bith women, for example.

deathbait SG

worst example ever.

Anyway, the resolution of this matter lies in the function of the investor. If he's a long term investor buying into a company via shares because he believes in the future of the company, there is no difference in his role and that of a man who starts a business.

Andrew however is referring to the investor(or speculator) who buys shares with the intention of selling them for a profit. I find it highly amusing because Andrew has always flamed speculators. Anyway, speculators obviously hold no loyalty to the company and will dump shares high to buy back low.

Still, more than a few people have lost their shirt on such strategies based on market timing. Andrew, you're still living in HDB right?

weewee SG

now is indeed a good time to buy shares. It is just my own opinion anyway.

Delusional idiot. So when are you carrying out your insane threats against me?

There is no need to be in a hurry even though it is a good time. You can pick and choose and wait for a good price. That is what investment is all about. You get out when it is high (and the situation looks bad, like last year) and wait for it to come down. You only buy companies you can trust (blue chips) and you only trade the big economic cycles (in terms of years).

See this opinion piece (that liar Chin Eng calls it a letter to the press) I wrote for Today Newspaper.

sigh

dodge again.

It's an innocent question. Are you still living in a HDB? Do you own a car? How well off are you? Is your current networth indicative of an expert in the markets?

And for the last time. It's already been carried out. Things take time when they are real, not imaginary.

I guess it is only fair that after warning people of the impending crash and now that the crash happened as predicted, I should also say that the time has come to start thinking of investing in the stock market.

Long term investment hor... and don't borrow money to buy.

DJ, STI are all below the level they were in Jan08, and US$ is at its historical low against all major currencies

guaiboiboi SG

it is always easy to buy but hard to sell for a good price.invest in long term is good but you have temptation to sell also.......

redDUST SG

imo, definitely the market hasn't bottom out.

so called long term investors don't time their buy and sell. they buy when they see a distinct opening in a company they like. a bear market helps but it is not a major determinant factor that influence their decision.

they have holding power, money invested are spare cash and they accumulate the stock holding when they see an opportunity.

long term investors also sell, they don't hold forever. it is just that the law of averages help them post a profit when they sell.
