Holding and waiting for it to come back is hoping and praying - This will be the trade that destroys you.

You are supposed to cut your losing trades early / quickly to minimize your losses and let your profitable ones run to maximize the ROI.

Anyone can click a button to buy or sell.

Being consistently profitable is something else entirely.

Try it, the market will humble you very quickly.

No its not. When you have done your research and have a bunch of utility, mining, banking, tech blue chip stocks, they will always come back. It is just a matter of time. For some traders it might not be worth it as they might think it is better to cut their loss. But just by holding out to reporting should net you about 8 to 10% plus dividend. Pension funds probably trade on that principle but they know what they are doing and will ditch a perfectly good stock for something they think is better.

It all comes down to what you are trading.

Guys, you all appear to be experts in trading, speculative trading is what I do, at 72 I don't have the time to invest. On October 31st, I bought Tomtom at 7.22 euros, I sold on Nov. 16th, made 617 euros. This a good profit in a tiny period. Why did I sell, simple, Im a speculator, the moment the goal posts change my instinct tells me to sell. The goal posts did change following the statement by the CEO
He and his 3 brothers own 44%, all four over 60 yo. They still wNt to sell, did you know they actually wanted 20 euros per share? No takers for now. I will watch still and will buy again. Unlikely that I shall be able to buy under 7.60. Will go in at 7.60.
Watch this share .

Guys, remember , Ripple XRP will increase over the next couple of months.
Trading at around $0.47 , by the way its 24/7 Coin. Continued trade.
I came in at 0.44$, Im confident that come Xmas I shall be in ....wine !!
Dont take my word for it, do your own research, invest only what you can afford to lose, not all by at least 20%.
Currently Im only on Ripple, trying to idendify another, right now Galapagos trading at around 91 $ looks a safe long term investement but Im not keen on long term, after all I only have about 25 years left !!

My feeling is, based on my own research is that this company is currently eyed by a number of " predators" since the company is valued at 1.6 billion euros where as it's true value is 4.5 billion euros.
Should a bid be made I can see the share price moving up higher than 10 euros might even reach 15.



Um, I think you've rather blown your credibility on this subject don't you...? :lol:

Not surprising!
When I was dealing seriously with this nonsense (what an oxymoron huh?) I pretty soon realized that not even one share anywhere in the world was under valued. They were all pumped up and up and on top of everything included the value of expected profits for at least the next decade.
Taking as an example this TomTom share , did you by any chance get to know what was the nominal value of the shares you bought for 7.22?
I won't be surprised to hear it was only say 50 cents.
Dividends are paid on the nominal value. E.g a 5% dividend on these shares would not be 5% of 7.22 but 5% on 50 cents, in other words peanuts.

The Cyprus Stock market is of course a joke but at least we got to learn things from scratch. It's a small place, we know people, and we know how an owner of a company can suck your money for nothing.
I know people who could very easily enter the CSE but they didn't. I will never forget someone who answering my question as to why he won't telling me: "Why should I? To steal money from my friends?"
What I cannot digest is how a businessman like you "invests" his money in the stock market.
Invest in your own company for CS. Assuming you have enough potential to expand, the minimum you would get from your own investment in your own company is 30%/year.

You know fuck all about speculative trading, if you did ypu wouldnt make such stupid fucking comments. Boy, speculative means just that? If circumstances change then you change. Dont piss me off with your stupid comments. I bought at 7.22 i sold at 7.85. This is what speculative trading is all about. Markets are VOLATILE,
They go up they come down
Learn boy, watch RIPPLE.

Honestly, you should stick to complaining about the price of Anusol and Preparation H - you know, things that you are actually knowledgeable about... :lol:
