With the "yoyo" market trends out there, everyone of us needs a dose of motivation to keep us going, to maintain our poise and confidence. Especially for new investors and the beginners, it is indeed a trying time as the market trend is so reactive, a lot of us are unsure what move to make.
Here is something I found in my newspaper clipping collections and I wish to share this piece of booster with you, a winning essay by Gan Hong Leong of Bentong, organised by SIDC published in the Focus column of The Star:
Words of Advice
For all stock market investors and speculators out there, here is Gan's advice:
Value for money you must insist
Buying in a downtrend you must resist
The trend is your friend
Follow it to the very end
Holding on to falling stock is unwise
Cut your losses quickly is advised
Never kill the golden goose when you have one
Never sell prematurely, let it run for once
Undervalued unpopular stock is never a fancy
Glamour stock is the choice normally
Join the crowd; enjoy the ride, if you wish
Be careful though, lest you fall out and vanish
The market is most tempting at the top
Lock in your profit before volume has a good drop
Sell your stocks when you love them most
Take your money and let the deal be closed
Buy when volume traded is at its lowest
The market will then be at its dullest
Investors should buy low and sell high
Traders should buy high and sell higher
Someday you will know what I mean
By then, you are a stock market dean.
