IHH, stellar IPO

"It never was my thinking that made big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!"

Labels: music

Not a peep out of the bears today, on the 'high inventory stocks of cpo...' Bulls looking for a 'reason' why prices are up.

Traders on BMD futures markets are ego driven. You can tell from the way they will curse at the market that goes against them, and whoop for joy in winning positions, as if saying "The market is always wrong, I am always right." Is this the right attitude to take? Well, it is not a very Christmas attitude.

Exchanges, the market and the brokerage industry is set up to create the impression that easy money can be made in the markets, but as Jesse Livermore says, "People who look for easy money invariably pay for the privelege of proving conclusively that it cannot be done on this… earth."

"There is the plain fool who does the wrong thing at all times anywhere, but there is the Wall Street fool who thinks he must trade all the time."

"It never was my thinking that made big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!"

Now all the experts are finding holes to hide their "bearish outlook on high inventory stocks data" predictions.

And just a few days ago I heard one big trader exalt..."zero export tax? Must be cannot sell the cpo with no buyers..."

Stand apart from the crowd

Analyse your markets and lay out your strategy and tactical moves in advance, and in privacy. Don't ask anyone's advice, and that includes' brokerage advisories, tips and even well-intentioned market gossip. And, don't offer your advice to anyone else. You shouldn't care if Shearson is buying ABC or if Salomon is selling XYZ. You should stick to your objective analysis and market projection based on whichever method or technique has proven viable for you; and you should revise that strategy only on the basis of pragmatic and objective technical evidence. Such evidence could be a signal from your chart analysis, your computer system or from the margin department, which reminds you that your position has moved adversely and that your
account has become undermargined.

In short, if you make money in your trading, stand up and accept the accolades and the ﬁnancial rewards. But if you lose money, you alone should accept the responsibility. You must have conﬁdence to trade in the marker, because the most serious 'loss' of all is the 'loss' of
conﬁdence in your ability to trade independently and successfully. If you don't have that conﬁdence, you probably shouldn't be making any trades, except to close out adverse positions to limit your loss exposure. The list of speculators' laments goes on, but they all seem generally
related to carelessness or poor trade timing, misjudgement of the market trend, ignorance of the basic tenets of sound strategy, or lack of self-conﬁdence and discipline. Serious introspection suggests this thesis: a sound strategy, viable tactics and good money management, and
consistent risk control are even more important to overall success than a good technical or charting method.

Traders on BMD however are persistent non opinionated schizophrenics with no confidence, always asking others' opinions and offering their opinion as to market direction.(due to EGO)

Simsci futures error trade on SGX. Think the error trade was adjusted to 351.70, with all trades below busted.. One day this could happen on BMD, which is why the business rules have a busted trade section.

When these sort of sensationalist headlines come out.... it might be that the rally might soon peter out.

They finally come to their senses to reduce the margin requirements.

Previously it was just plain common sense that at RM7,000 per contract FCPO, this represented a move of 280 ticks, whereas at the price of 2300, a 10% limit move would be 230 ticks either way. Doesn't take rocket science to realise this .... but still it took so long.

Now when will they realise they need to reduce the exchange fee. Why is the exchange fee for the index futures RM5 per contract with cpo at RM2.50? Trying to squeeze water from a rock.(a small one at that)

One needs to be bold, 2013 why not try with exchange fee at 2.50? Volume is so paltry anyway...

"An uptrending market is typically characterized by a succession of higher highs and higher lows. Traders should not be anxious to sell their long positions and revert to short because bull markets generally go higher than most traders anticipate. The market, and your technical indicators, will “tell” you when the top has been seen."

‘Losing money is the least of my troubles. A loss never bothers
me after I take it. But being wrong — not taking the loss — that
is what does the damage to the pocket-book and to the soul.‘
Jesse Livermore
