    But Pakdi, sometimes it is adviseable to go against the trend. Most of investors i know (yang buat duit la) jarang mengikut trend. Trend yang i maksudkan ialah bila semua orang tak beli, kita beli. Ingat tak masa maybak was RM5 dulu or masa Digi masih murah gila. ataupun masa MahSing masih RM1.50. … when MahSing was at RM1.50, the trend was telling to leave property related stocks.

    and one more thing when ‘playing’ stocks. dont afraid to loose :)

    “trend yang i maksudkan ialah bila semua orang tak beli, kita beli”

    ini bukan trend yang dimaksudkan :)

    “dont afraid to loose”

    as long as it is 1:3 risk - reward ratio, betul :)

    tapi kekadang kalau risk reward ratio is 3:1 … jenuh tu .. boleh pening kepala seminggu …

    that’s why pro investor follow the trend, dia tak follow the crowd ;) kalau follow crowd mmg jenuh tunggu 1:3 tu.

    market - trend - smart money

    crowd - emotion - fear & greed

    So what is the trend now? If we can’t get other people opinion on the market so from whom should we get one? How to follow the trend fundamentally or technically? From the market is waiting the technical correction any time from now so, is the trend to avoid the market, but why showing the trend up trend? SO WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY TREND? UPTREND? BUY TREND? SO IS THE TREND GIVE THE INFORMATION TIME TO EXIT? WHY SOME STOCK SHOWING UPTREND AND THE OTHERS DOWNTREND? WHY THE VOLUME SOO LOOOW? Err… information for evacuation trend?

    Can you advise tips, when is the buying trend and evacuation trend just before hand its happen, then the trend become true…?

    Wassalam.
