temp Ticker:

Topic:

 

  1. Tough decision making may come twice, what would you do?

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

  1. This stock fall and fall hard from $24.00 to $8.00, which is 66%. Are you going to cut loss if you were the share holder?
  2. Next, the stock keep going down. Are you going to sell it when it reach $4.00?
  3. Finally, the stock came back up and poke through $8.00 at end of Dec and keep going up. Are you dare enough to buy it again, if you have sold it when it fall down previously?

25th March 2012 – My Analysis

BULL or BEAR ??

 

Short term (1 week)

Notes

clip_image001

-- Shipping Baltic index is in the positive move.

-- All 3 indexes are still in the positive range despite some downturn last week. Have to take last week downturn as only a minor correction. NASDAQ is the strongest where it is hard to see the downturn last week.

-- Important economy data will be out on Wednesday and Thursday. Don't be surprise for some volatility.

-- The VXX downward move indicating that we should expect a bull market in the short term moving forward.

-- China FXI is not healthy. How is China index going to spill over to the United States is yet to be seen.

  4. Daily chart shows that the price of handle has dropped back exactly 61.8% which is normally the price range where buyers come back in to scoop up bargains.
