Unit trust cannot make money? 投資基金六守則(胡立陽)

I always heard people said that unit trust cannot make money.
this is not true. click here
why people lose money in unit trust because they leave it with fund manager.
You should always treat unit trust like your stocks.

eg. If china is not doing well and US is doing well, we can always shift our money to US unit trust.
We are RETAIL INVESTOR not fund manager, fund managers have no choice but to keep on invest according to their job scope.

I shall end this with this video

Do you know that trading and investment is a open book exam?

Why I love trading and investment?

Do you know that trading and investment is a open book exam?

Every morning you just need to open your textbook to look for your answer (investment decision whether to open/close your positions)

Everything is found in your textbook.

I believe everyone can score at least  "B" for your open book exam, right?

Exam duration: 30 min
Passing Score: B

Can you can pass it?

Is there really a way to detect whether recession is coming?

I am one of the few who call for a bull market last year despite so many bad news, eg debt ceiling crisis, tapering , US government shut down etc .
Who want to know why am I so confident?

Does Dollar Cost Averaging works? - Part 2

One must understand how DCA works. It only work in uptrend or recovery markets. And please take note that I never said DCA won't work at all, but DCA won't work in a down trend market. 

Qn:  DCA can apply in STI or China in the long term. says 10-20 years? 

Ans: Yes. Cos China & STI will be in the uptrend in the long term. Question is whether this person can/willing to invest for a period of 10-20 years. And will this person give up half-way and stop investing when he or she see their portfolio dropping by 30-50% during the downtrend/recession, for example 2008-2009 or not growing after investing for a few years.

See what happen by DCA in China for past 5 years, how much opportunity have this person lost. 

Why can't we wait till the market bottom up and start buying in the uptrend.

Buy Low Sell High is always the most basic fundamental of investing.

And please take note that DCA cannot apply to individual stock.

"Buy low and sell high. It's pretty simple. The problem is what's low and what's high" 
- Jim Rogers

Does Dollar Cost Averaging works?

dollar cost averaging - DCA is a popular concept in the financial markets.
but please understand the concept of DCA before applying. 
this is only my view - 

markets moves in 3 directions - uptrend, sideways/recovery and downtrend.
DCA only works in the uptrend and sidesway/recovery markets and not downtrend market.
try DCA in nikkei market. i don't know how much u have make over here.





China - last 5 years
Long term china will still go up . But how much opportunity have u lost in the last 5 year

So what is support?

I have enquiries asking me what do i mean by support level.

In my previous post, i mentioned 2 support level 1750 & 1700 to watch out, market-sentiment-3-february-2014.

So what is support?

A support level is a price level where the price tends to find support as it is going down. This means the price is more likely to "bounce" off this level rather than break through it. However, once the price has passed this level, by an amount exceeding some noise, it is likely to continue dropping until it finds another support level.
