Text of the page (random words):
i ll do it very happily because there s a bunch of good ol army buddies whom i ve known since i was 18 19 years old all doing it together with me it s a mix of nostalgia combined with a heady mix of brotherhood that i find comforting we can all bitch about our life or army life and perhaps the most serious decision of the day is whether the lunch is good or bad reservist not only gives me a chance to rest my body but more importantly it gives me an opportunity to rest mentally and to reflect and indulge in some soul searching i always come out feeling more ready to go and more refreshed than any holidays after reservist maybe during holidays i still have to be with my spouse don t get me wrong i m not saying i don t enjoy her company but separation makes the heart grow fonder i think a healthy separation from the company of each other can do wonders for our relationship during my reservist term she ll be going out and spending time with her friends or even herself i think it s the me time that is important with so many distractions in the civilian world it s hardly justifiable to have me time anymore i ll end up spending time with myself in the night when everyone else is asleep this keeps pushing my sleep time later and later and making me more tired and tired until the whole sleep cycle is restarted with a bout of reservist in every year this is important to me in my experience this picture shows two extremes reaction one of utmost disgust another of thoughtful reminiscence no doubt i ll be earning less in my reservist period compared to working i think it s still very worth it it s compulsory anyway so i don t really have a choice which is good sometimes i think having little choice is better than a lot of choices because the former makes you think really hard about each choice available to you rather than making snap decisions and move on to the next one with the latter in army this lack of choice is even more stark because you re simply ordered to do things i know how this sounds it s a pitiful attempt at justifying mental laziness and rejecting any semblance of responsibilities to one s own life but hear me out a life where one has to make decisions on your own is a very tiring life satisfying no doubt but still tiring i feel no shame in wanting a period of time where i do not have to be responsible at all those who are happily employed might not be able to understand what i m saying here because you ve no idea how much initiative i ve to take just to have the same pay back every year but i digress i m not bitching about my work life here and enjoying the much needed break during my reservist term i ll be gone for a month since last fri and there might not be any new posts you certainly won t see me in the cbox this is a delayed post made on a fine sunday afternoon and by the time you read this i m already well inside my army camp possibly doing some mindless task or bitching about the sluggish pace of life while wearing green without really meaning it read more sunday february 20 2011 the youth and the stock market sunday february 20 2011 bias 32 comments quite a lot of people are joining the stock market at a younger and younger age while it s important to know about such things eventually i wonder about the wisdom of joining it at such an early age isn t there something else to focus on like socializing and indulging in pointless but memorable pursuits i started doing this stock thingy when i m 26 or 27 i ve the bulk of my earlier years doing plenty of pointless but memorable stuff i remembered playing lots of rpg games reading extensively on all sorts of topics except finance and simply just day dreaming would i exchange all these stuff for an earlier retirement i doubt so it s just part of growing up i suppose i fear that the younger the youths are joining such financial pursuits the faster they would lose their youthfulness and idealism the financial arena is not for idealistic individuals because they would be washed out in no time will today s youths be losing their idealism at an earlier age too who else could be idealistic if not for the youths the youth are greatly limited by the lack of capital i don t know about them but when i m in my early twenties even if i ve the interest in the stock market i would perhaps have less than 10k in my bank account and what could i possibly do with 10k in my bank account buy s shares buy those pennies and hope that my skills in picking out a gem would ensure that my 10k would multiply it s not impossible it s just terribly hard and the odds are against you since without the necessary capital every shot counts even more so and the tolerance of mistakes are significantly reduced or perhaps driven by the lack of buying power one would be driven to use leverage to enhance the gains and the losses i think like a kitten the youth should spend time on playing so what s the point of dabbling in the stock market when one is so severely limited i believe that without a minimum capital it is better not to start investing trading that minimum should be around the range of 50k why 50k with that amount a position of 10k can be placed each time so one would have 5 bullets in total with 10k one can buy most of the blue chips which are a lot safer than pennies though the gains are not as substantial with 5 bullets perhaps 3 would be average 1 would be spectacular in profits and 1 would be in the loss so one would come out of it alright but what happens if you don t have 50k to begin with then stop kidding yourself that the positions are for long term investment and stop deluding yourself that the amount of dividends would contribute towards your passive income for attainment of financial freedom even if you struck gold the amount gained would be insignificant a lot of youths start to believe in their own investing trading powers after reading up on a few books by their gurus that is the problem isn t it clouded by youthful optimism and confidence they march straight into the jaws of a shark still thinking that they can escape unharmed i think it takes life experience to sieve out skills from luck because a skilled person would have the same outcome as a lucky person it also takes life experience to sieve out the market truths and the myths literature cited time in the market is better than timing the market i ll say it depends on which stock you re holding the wisdom it takes to determine when an advice is appropriate to a situation will take time to develop i m just not sure whether when i m in my twenties i would want to learn about such things i feel that a part of something in me would be lost and gone forever you can get all cynical and skeptical after being tainted by the market especially if you ve lost a lot of money seriously i would recommend most youths to simply concentrate on their studies or get a part time job and in the meantime just read extensively about finances in general and not to focus so much attention on the stock market there is a time to do everything and once that time has passed you ll be wondering how your youthhood is like would it be full of adventure and memories or would it be that you ve made a roc of 10 but an absolute amount of 1000 what is 1000 to a youth with no proper earning power yet and what is 1000 to a working adult read more wednesday february 16 2011 seasons of life wednesday february 16 2011 self realisation 6 comments i seem to be going to a lot of baby showers recently either that or i ll be visiting people who had just given birth in hospitals it seems that this is the season where a lot of my friends are having children not too long ago i ll be invited to a lot of wedding dinners seems like there s a season for everything if we divide a person s life into 4 seasons spring summer autumn and winter and place milestone events of one s life accordingly we can see a closer relationship to what kind of seasons our lifestage is currently at spring in this phase people are getting married i was invited to a lot of wedding dinners a few years ago so that must be the peak of the spring season interestingly as i was married last year i m the last few people among my friends who are married most had already been married a few year earlier than me i doubt i ll be getting a lot more wedding invitation now maybe just the occasional once or twice a year as the bulk of my friends had already tied the knot spring is filled with hope and anticipation full of wonder as to what the new year might bring summer this is the phase that i m currently at recently i ve been going in and out of kk hospital and buying gold bracelets anklets for babies to celebrate their 1st month into the world some are already having their 2nd kid again since i had a late spring i ll likely have a late summer as well i kind of expect more and more of such occasions until maybe 5 years later where the reproduction system and the desire to have kids die of with the passage of time summer is filled with fun activities but also equally filled with sweat from the higher temperature everything is still sunny and bright autumn this is the phase where the children of my friends are getting married it can also be the marriage of my own children i ll extend the season to include the birth of grandchild obviously i m not at that kind of age yet so i ve not attended a single such events at all but i can see that my parents and my in laws are already into the autumn season some just entered the autumn children getting married while others are deep into the season birth of grandchild autumn has a tinge of melancholy amidst happiness as the encroaching coldness and bitterness of winter draws near winter this is the phase where one is attending the funeral of your friends spouse i wonder how that will feel with the pool of friends slowly diminished by the encroaching touch of death will it be scary will it be lonely and will it be gloomy winter is cold and lonely always wishing for the warmth of people around you but if there s no despairing winter there won t be hopeful spring life is a cycle filled with seasons isn t it i think seasons can equally be applied to investing i leave it to readers to draw a parallel between the two read more tuesday february 15 2011 money management skills tuesday february 15 2011 market strategy self realisation 1 comment these days i tend to focus on the planning part of executing a trade i m no longer the trigger happy person i was when i first started in the market i guess it s no longer exciting to me and i don t have such a high expectations of it so the stress is no longer there i used to think of wanting to get a few hundreds every week from trading i think all these targets are making it hard to think properly and you always want to do some action instead of patiently waiting out i removed all such targets from hence on besides learning about the technicalities of a trading system i think the more important part is learning how to manage your money you must have heard a lot of people saying about money management and all but what does it really mean to me these are the key elements 1 the amount of capital allocated to each position 2 the risk reward the cut loss and take profit point for each position i find that over time there s nothing new i want to add to my trading system it works fine for me both financially and psychologically so i know that is the correct trading system for me the only thing i want to keep on improving would be on my money management skills money management is really about allocating a limited resource money to where it s treated best it s interesting that only after the bulk of my free cash is spent on my highly expensive flat and that i ve really limited resources to trade that i actually spent a lot more effort looking for the best bang for my buck you can even call me a reluctant trader in the sense that if certain conditions are not right i would not even look at it if it hits the right conditions i ll reluctantly put in a small position to test it out if it hits another lower point and the conditions are right again i ll enter reluctantly again this mindset of sieving out what s wrong about a trading position is new to me i think in the past i m looking for what s right about the trade and there are lots of reasons to enter something you see what your mind wants to see so in the middle of a trade i might want to free up my resources tied up in a position to have cash not because the trade has run its course but rather i saw a more attractive potential position coming up i m arguing with myself whether the extra bids i can get from waiting out the full potential of the position i m already in is worth the wait and therefore the risk it s the opportunity cost of holding a position and locking up your capital especially so if the position is profitable that is again new to me because i used to have the resources to do up to a few trades at one time but now i m reduced to maybe 2 so in a good way i m being forced to evaluate all my positions to get the best out of my portfolio instead of an individual trade that i think is the epiphany that struck me when i was browsing through my charts late at night read more saturday february 12 2011 cma post action report saturday february 12 2011 technical analysis 9 comments i entered a trading position on capmallsasia a few days ago i m surprised that i closed it in 3 trading days since it hit my target price these days i really can t be bothered with that few extra bids that i can get by staring at the screen constantly i just leave it with a queue order if it hit i ll be happy with it if not i ll queue again lazy way to trade really i ve been eyeing this counter since cj mentioned buying it months ago it had been interesting academically then but it only became interesting to me when a buy signal is triggered recently i got in a 1 84 when it hit my overnight queue order and had been rising for the last couple of days before the party stopped i cashed it out when it hit my tp of 1 96 3 trading days later since i had covered the full ma channel for this trade i ll say it s a pretty good one of course on hindsight it could have been better if i waited 2 days later because the price went up to a high of 2 05 before coming back down to 1 91 1 92 at last close it s really important to leave when the party is still on i do not want to leave when everyone is leaving and so because of this i would always have to leave some run behind for others which is perfectly fine with me if i had 2 batches i would have cashed out a batch at 1 96 and another one at 2 00 near the value zone of the weekly but since i had only 1 batch i don t want to change my tp on the go and adjust while i m still in the trade that happens so many times before i changed my tp in the middle of the trade and it came crashing down on me no more of such things in the future is it a good time to re enter that s the thing ...
