 "Rogers: Later this year or next"

Really??

[soros]

The number of videos posted on youtube making forecasts of financial collapse coming this year or next is getting alarming.

If it does come , where should we hide our money from the collapse ?

actually, if not sure WHEN the crash will come...just sell progressively...and raise cash progressively...

like sell 50% keep 50%...

or break portfolio into 100 or 200 parts...then sell 1% or 0.5% everyday...
if it is uptrend, you will still capture some of the upside...

problem is most people want to keep dancing until music stops...

Would it not make more sense to just go by the valuation of every individual stock that you own instead of looking at whether the market is overvalued or not and agonising over when the market is going to crash!

he is just shorting the market lah!

[mslee888]

forget about timing the market...you will go crazy instead.
Just go for value stocks.

Really like what u say, the reverse is true too. Buy slowly when the mRket is going down, u will capture the "value". But while markets climb gently, market plunge quickly. So in a way, it is easier to capture value then capture gain. 

This only works when u have enough money and big enough portfolio size, like what u say. Split into 100 parts. Slowly buy or sell. 

For the "poor" like me, it's like only 10 parts. 5 for buying 5 for selling. Sianz. You cannot split until too small otherwise the commission would be eating away your gain or loss liao

i want to sell my FLIT but still seems a lot of steaming ahead.

But my experience is always tend to buy and sell too early one in the market.

With the classic buyer/seller remorse.

Example i had sold Keppel DC RIET(from IPO)@ 1.2 & 1.24.

If only i know before hand Market still intact & Keppel DC price eaisly hovers around 1.28/1.29 now.

This kind of scenario i have had experienced again & again.

Wonder anyone have this repeatable experience?

Stupid huh!?

we never know how the market will behave lah, if we do, many of us will be sooo sooooo rich!
we can only try to guess...

but common sense will tell u, if u are making money, it's a good thing already, be happy and be contented!!
if u are losing money, why are you losing?? think about it...

that itself is our very own investment straits.. it's unique and makes u Zzz well/not well at nite too!
don't bother try to be god of stock market lah.
