Lots of Trading Opportunities!


After the darkest, then pitch black, then finally a silver lining. I have a lot (I mean, A LOT) of stocks that is already heavily oversold and prepared to go higher. However, the dust hasn’t settled yet. The stocks are indeed poised higher but looking back through the last trading session where the market can [...]

Macbook or Macbook Pro?


Adinoto pinged me tonight about a deal he has on Macbook pro. It’s a barter between my current Macbook with a new Macbook pro in addition to some cash and I think it’s a very good deal. The problem is I’m 60% sure that Apple will update the specification this June (usually they bump up [...]

Happy Belated Birthday To Me!


21. A week too late but still a perfect timing to congratulate my self on getting to 21. I should’ve wrote this post on March 23rd but what the hey (to think of it, it’s actually 8 days late..)
It’s been a quite a busy “chapter” in my life. Some are taken for granted and some [...]

My 2007 New Year’s Resolution


There’s an old saying, “Aim high, if you miss, at least you achieve more than when you aim low”. This year I’m not going to aim high, I’m just going to aim as best as I can ;) so here’s my new year’s resolution:

Finish my final paper. I already pinned down what I wanted to [...]

2006 Wrapups


Here’s my list of things I have done (for better or worse) in 2006

My equity rose around 30%+ this year which is not bad if considering the Fed interest rate is hovering between 5-5.25% and Indonesia’s central bank rate is somewhere under 10% (is it? Sheez… I miss using Google or Yahoo to do a [...]

Rafting and Simplicity of Trading


Yesterday I went on rafting in Citarum water stream. The event was great and fun with me bruising in several places. However, the most important part of the event is not rafting, but rather trading. I know it’s kinda silly to correlates trading and some semi-extreme physical activity such as rafting but I do find [...]

Dollar-Cost Averaging Invalid?


I’m currently reading a book by Leslie Masonson titled All About Market Timing (yeah I’ve been digging into technical analysis for several months now). In one of the page on her book (is it a he or a she?) she stated:
…, never use dollar-cost averaging in a bear market, since it puts you on the [...]

Learning to Trade is VERY Expensive


If you are trying to learn how to trade, let me tell you one thing, it’s VERY expensive. The seminars are expensive, the books are expensive (some aren’t though — there are exceptions on this one), the tools are expensive (Metastock — $500, RET Trader — $1K), even the ’specialty’ semi-seminar is expensive (I’m talking [...]

Thailand’s Military Coup


Okay, this comes as shocking as how I got some sleep last night. Well okay, this is MORE shocking. Apparently last night (Thai’s time), there’s a military coup d’etat by military to seize control last night. Of course by nature this will affect Thai’s bath (and it already did) in the currency market.
The currency dropped [...]

Blogger of the Week(?) and Self Reflection


Several days ago, I was named Blogger of the week (52nd) by Fatih Syuhud, a prominent blogger that blogs in English (whew, that’s alot of “blog” in one sentence). In essence, he thinks that I’m one of many energetic youth that is needed by this country to succeed (and saying that with class by quoting [...]
