Emotion Is Right, Sometimes…


Several days ago I posted that I have an uneasy feeling when I entered a position of a stock. That feeling (or gut?) is proven correct. The stock that I purchased slid even further today after a week of steady (and abrupt if I may add) decline. To add to that, I’m trading on margin which makes the loss (and profit, if any) amplified several notch. I call it a day and won’t touch Indonesia stock exchange for this week. Let’s see how it goes next week as I will most probably (huh? What kind of grammar is that?) liquidate all of my position.

I have no clue how to trade options, the idea has always made me a little jittery. Sounds like some of your picks are doing really well though.

@Anita: you don’t need to be jittery :). I’m going to write something about options and how you shouldn’t be afraid to use it. After all, it’s just an investment instrument :-)

Di Arab? Ada temen gw yang pernah menawarkan jadi analyst untuk seorang investor dari Arab. Tau ga dia bilang apa? “Ah, di sini engga butuh analyst, orang pasarnya naik mulu tiap hari.”

So I think the market crash is caused by their own arrogance…
