    Oh dear a little sensitive eh. OK, share your "tips" for the next two weeks. Some here may take a chance and win or lose some necessary cash. Then we will have some real research and reap real profits.

    As for being a 'serious investor", is that one who made or lost millions of €, ¥, £, ₽, $ and joining your "wealthy set", are these the landed gentry, Kings, Princesses or poachers, out on the moor at day break, gathering it's glorious bounty?

    You have no idea of my past or present exploits in either field, as I have none of yours.

    Enjoy your hobby.

    Petrofac (PFC) up 8% today, currently £4.80, getting ever closer to my £5 target but think will hold regardless till August 30 when results are out.

    Isn't it buy on the rumor and sell just before the result?

    it is very easy to point to past unproven results. Anybody can quote, in hindsight, good market moves. Not many do it on the potential large scale that you may or may not have been betting. The only way proof can be guaranteed is by posting you buy/sell slips.

    But I am not expecting you will do that.

    As some have posted for every winner there is a loser. Good luck with your hobby.
    well said, we are obviously dealing with a complete amateur, at worst a boiler boom boy trying to recruit here

    seen those types hundred times in Thailand

    Yes, it is per annum. Yes, it is good - worth the fees.
    So your capital value has increased by approx 60% in the last three years, very nice, why has your superfund and you wife's superfund done relatively so badly

    some body got there maths wrong.

    Its down about 20% before the 5% uptick though (of course up over 50% for the year). How long have you owned it? Any thoughts on Alibaba? Thinking about buying a bit of each. Only need one to really hit...

    Generally:

    No simple solution, matters if you are investing or trading, and if your head's above water managing your own portfolio there's probably nothing here you don't already know, like the market gives you an opportunity to risk your money, so after market overheads that your share of trades will pay for what you do make is what others have lost, and don't forget the vice versa.

    SET is one of the world's most manipulated markets (you either know that or will pay to learn), so some of this may be counter intuitive. For example, while stop loss minimises risk, that is also a nice way to go broke slowly, so in time if you still have any money left it will be because you ignored that technique, at the right times. Sounds easy; not.

    Fundamentals vs technicals: both are important, and when they clash go for the former, but keep in mind that even a strong stock may not be strong forever and can wither against structural changes like new laws, regs, crew, etc.

    Stop loss and diversification are both proven to minimise risk. That said, if you're holding a fundamentally sound but falling stock, this is a great opportunity to set aside the stop loss and lower your avg while increasing yield at the same time. If you intend to hold such a stock long term, then unless you are investing for income reinvest that yield back into buying more to further lower your average cost and increase your returns over time.

    As you stop blindly following what the experts tip and do your own research, you might check out not just volume but who is buying/selling (institutions, retail, foreigners); fex, if retailers net buy and foreign net sell, it's heading down.

    Otherwise the usual stuff, keep your losses small, don't average down (but do sometimes), don't try to catch a falling knife, buy when the trend is up, sell when it's going down, and if you like money don't trust your broker because they like it too.

    The www offers a ton of advice and info, but there are also downsides to too much.

    None of the above is written in stone, lots of exceptions, good luck.

    One thing I always consider: Never confuse what you think is your own saavy with what is actually a bull market. You're only doing good if you're beating the index funds. Even then, your sample size is likely too small to infer that you're smart.

    Speaking of potentially dumb moves, I am still left wondering whether one of these Chinese companies could be the next Chinese Amazon.

    Their stocks seem expensive, but not even in the same realm as Amazon (which I believe is a huge bubble in the making). I'd like to ride that bubble Chinese Stylee....

    At the current valuations, it still looks like greed

    I have had managed funds before. One did very well (16% in year), one was a more modest 4%. I've also bought shares. My experience was that the funds were stress free investments whereas I was constantly checking the prices of my shares. I didn't think the fees I paid for managing the funds were exorbitant. Money well spent (for me personally).
    If you're holding a fundamentally strong stock long term there's no need to glue your nose to the screen or get stressed out when it drops; the only numbers of interest are what you buy and sell at.

    Many thanks for all the replies.

    I am generally a lazy investor, preferring to invest and forget. I used to get away with this technique when bonds were offering semi decent yields, but that stopped quite a while a go as you all know.
    Last year l went into Fidelity Thailand managed fund and that has been performing slightly better than the MCI alternative, but more or less tracking the same blue chip Thai companies.
    I have so far not ventured into EFT's, but l think l will take a look as they seem pretty straightforward if you stay away from the more exotic ones, and would suit my file and forget approach.
    Does anyone have any EFT's worth considering apart from the ones already mentioned in this thread?

    Cheers. E
