Huh 3.05 no short (i mean for me), I will not short at the bottom of reversal channel shld it tick upwards. Already there was 3.24 one day last wk i should hav taken it when watching live, very gd entry point but it price went down very fast and never looked back. 

Olam's been testing this 3.05 support a few occasions since last wk and stubbornly did not break down. This should be the key support. My gut feel 3.03 will be the tipping point for selloff, time will tell soon.

I lost money in Olam. I'm going to earn back from Olam!

serious ah....again? Okay then, u put your faith in the pp team. Lol They r really quite formidable in holding things up for so long.

firewood dun be stressed out. Hav u managed to clear your other half of Gar today? there was .74 in this early am for the taking, but u hav to q early right after Monday's close.

For Olam, ideally, 3.19 would be a very meaty and juicy price to short...

     but that is provided it goes up to that price.

        Just from the look of things,

           tomorrow will be the best time to enter a trade for this counter.

               Today, it closed @3.05. 

                   Many will definitely be shorting this one tomorrow.

                      But then, many will also buying @3.05.

                        In view of the present world situation,

                            I have preference for a short though...

                                but I will cut as soon as I am proven wrong...

Can u look at Olam's chart and tell me where is the Next trend heading? gaecia not very clever at all, need your powerful foresight in chart reading skills for pointers. Of course it won't be just trending sideways because ultimately it will still trend in a specific direction (up or down) over time, right? iPunter      ( Date: 30-Nov-2010 20:59) Posted: You should learn to be 'technical' in your investment.     Stocks go up and down all the time.         Simply 'picking stocks' is not good enough.             Even if you have picked the right stock,                but at the wrong time and the wrong price,                   you may have to waste a lot of time (sometimes months)                        for it to go down, and then back up again.

If you only had 10k to play with.. how would you play the stock market in this current condition?

I know im holding on to 2 stocks that are losing a couple hundred.. i dont mind losing some more but i dont really know what to do even if i liquidate the stock.  Please dont take it as i'm complaining.. just asking around for some friendly advice.

 If you think i shouldn't be in the market at the moment if i can't handle it.. i'll take it positively also

I might sell some n keep some or just sell all , shall see how market perform then !!!

During the early days of computers, people think that the paper industry is a goner.

   since computers can store a lot, and paper is thus little needed.

      But it soon turned out that, rather than diminishing, paper use sky-rocketted...

         because people do more  printing because of computers and printers.. .

What is "Panda"? I don't get it.

  What I mean is, for example you have bought a stock and it goes down,

    then that is obviously a bad trade, then you should sell it quickly.

      The reason is that if your analysis was wrong you must not hold it

         Similarly for shorting too. Holding can make the mistake bigger.
