  Start of last year every month I buy till no $ left in bank, pple think I'm crazy to do that, crazy to buy.

  Now I so hesitant don't dare to buy, pple dare dare buy or consider to buy... Hmmm....

   

  My only most recent purchase is Keppel Green Trust at $1.14, first batch of 5 lots. Preparing for another 2 (or maybe 3) more batches if the price gets lower.

  Thinking to sell the more volatile Capland together with some wrong purchases so that profits erases losses too... and redeploy funds to my adopted strategy.

  now the prices of shares are sky high. UOB is 20, OCBC 9 and DBS 14.50, CapitalMall 4, Genting 1.2 etc etc.

  dunno should wait for it to drop then buy or if buy now, the prices are too high.

  What are you buying for? What is your strategy for buying?

  What happens if market tanks 50%. Can you afford to keep your cash in it?

   

  Different people have different circumstances. I'm afraid you will have to discover your own strategy.

  Really never hold past this week

   

  I'm not looking at most returns. I rather spend less effort and be happy with smaller amount of returns via dividends of maybe around 7%, with potential capital appreciation in the long run.

  >9k dividends p.a. now. Slowly grow. I must adhere to discipline in following personal strategy. The few times I didn't follow, quite jialat.

  After running up so much, a healthy correction is required. Those on my watchlist are not moving much... no GSS for me...

  There should still be one more rise before a much more major correction sets in.

• Rooney9

  so now is the correction by the market? I am thinking of buying, but then I am beset by feelings its better to watch on the sidelines first before going in.

  Anytime is a good time to buy shares.

  Just do your homework.

  The big players buy a 500,000 lot during the dip, and sell on the rise (i.e + 0.04) and contra a cool bundle.

  500,000 x 0.04 = a cool $20,000 in a week.

  Need large amount of money and nerves of steel. But do your homework.

  yes u r rite. when market dips, some people see buying opportunities while the rest of us are gripped by fear.

  I would like it to crash more, then can buy cheaply with greater safety margins.

  Then again, I'm only going to be 27 yrs old in 1 month's time. Take what I say as pure entertainment can liao.
