Singapore Stock Market Rally 2020

Prices open high and shooting up the morning.



Is it time to sell? Or let the profits run?

Is it normal for prices to go back to normal when we are still in a recession?

Will there be another huge drop coming?

There might be. 

So let's spot a stock in my portfolio to sell. One that is unusually high.
  • Venture at S$16.50?
  • Ascendas REIT at S$3.19?
  • Sasseur REIT at S$0.79?
  • Mapletree logistics trust at S$1.92?
Did I just spot a buy opportunity?
  • Valuetronics at $0.60?
Something went wrong toward 10am.

Profit taking. Prices going down.

I saw some stocks hitting way above my target sell price.

Then I decided to let the profits run.

Lo and behold! The prices went the other way.

Lesson learned:
  • Never let profits run
  • Sell at sell target price
  • Stock with the formula
  • Don't be greedy.
  • Don't feel regret.

Do Traders Make More Money Than Investors

Trading has come to a grinding halt. All my disposable capital is stuck in a market that is not moving up. I can't even buy anymore when they are down. I just have to sit and wait for the day COVID-19 vaccine is available.  That's when the market will shoot up. Now I know why traders cut losses. So I guess I am not a trader but an investor. A long term investor... 12-year investor to be exact. The financial crisis seems to come every 12 years.  I don't have much of 12 years left ahead of me. It's time to become a trader. So... Do Traders Make More Money Than Investors? Basically, both will make as much money. The trader makes the money faster, maybe in minutes, but more stressful. They buy to sell. They cut losses. The investor makes the money slower,  up to decades, but more relaxed. They buy to hold. They hold losses and hope.

Exploring the Current Trends in the S&P500: Microsoft and Tesla Stand Out

I browsed through Finviz today and noticed that there are only two pages of S&P500 stocks with buy signals. This caught my attention because it means that most of the stocks in the index are performing well. However, I noticed that there are a couple of exceptions to this trend. First, there's Microsoft (MSFT). The stock is currently trading at $226 per share. It's definitely one to keep an eye on. [DONE] Then there's Tesla (TSLA). This stock is trading at $117 per share. It's definitely worth considering as a potential investment. Overall, it seems like the market is doing well, with only a few exceptions. As a rookie investor, it's always important to keep track of the trends and do your own research before making any decisions.  ~ The Rookie Trader Rookie Stock Trading Strategy - Jan 2023
