Just some more Nonsense

While most of my schoolmates are busy looking for jobs (I hope they are.. haha..), i'm actually quite looking forward to the new sem in school. I want to study as much as i can.. wahah..

The results.. don't know when they will be out.. i just want to know how many modules i passed.. lol.. of coz, looking forward to my LBO result.. I've put in sooo much effort lor. LOL. I want a 2nd lower at least. Wasn't easy for my writting speed though to score such.. coz i write so wols.

Why didn't they use typing instead of writing? Then they would have so much less problems.. less mine too. Hahah.. for example:

1) problem of using correction fluid,
2) saving the trees
3) saving ink
4) problem of papers getting lost etc.
5) problem legibility
6) the need to use a frail string to tie the papers together
7) spelling errors (with the aid of spell check)
8) ease shifting of paragraphs/ editing the essay as a whole
9) speed in typing

Of coz, this is just something IN MY OWN OPINION. Need not contest with me with the benefits of using the traditional way of having an exam. LOL.. in anycase, i'm trying to be nonsensical while trying to convey some truths.. it indeed save paper at least ba.. haha

Well.. some people said.. because not everyone can type.. ya lor.. practice la! LOL.. oh ya.. in the future.. we might be doing our exams with laptops huh.. who knows? But at least not at the moment. Some things just like to remain primitive.

For example, the number of financial tools provided in our financial market (i mean OUR) does have some difficulty for us to short sell during the bearish season. It was supposed to save guard the interest of the buyers ba. In theory, there is no limit to the potential and/or risk of shorting.. i think that's why. But then again, there are solution offered in the US.. so what is this? Developing ba.. one might say.

So while developing, the market made another plunge this rainy friday. It was 80 over points down.. huh.. so indeed it came, but sooner than i thought. Well.. well.. never believe too much of what people say (or what i blogged either).. for for every truths there are, there are bound to be half-nots. Also, there is a thing call propaganda so long as enough was done.. the not so credible thing became the truth. Read the "Crucible" before? You'll get the meaning.

So they say this they say that.. (who are "they" anyway?) they say that it was going to be beyond 4000 points at the year end.. well.. it was, IN MY OPINION (must really put IMO leh.. people are so offended if their views are being criticised.. lol.. so this is purely IMO.. i might be wrong too) kind of self-fulfilling. So long as you get many doing the same (like buying up a share), it will go up.. just that nobody is losing money as long as there are people willing to pay more.. and as many bided for it, the price increase and so those who bought at the outset will benefit. So.. who are the losers? They are those that chase the profits at the wrong time.. that is, when the security is over-priced.. and still offered to buy at a premium. It is true that many over-priced stocks still have the potential to gain.. so long as people continue to bid for it.. but for everything, there is a limit. When the limit is reached, people will start selling.. and when you get enough people the same thing, they practically sell down the market. Add in a few more other psychological aspect of investing.. i think a lot of people will try to get out of the market, making the problem worse.

In the end, those who are tempted to chase profit without realising the risk of the market will get their fingers burnt. It is, a risk/return game.. think more 1st please.. if not, just go in casino bet lor.. the outcome is nearly the same as those not doing "homework" before investing.

Of coz, it is possible for anyone to reap what others had sowed. Even auntie can top the bankers in warrent trading.. haha.. that is, if you use common sense and limit greed. Run before it is too late lo.. the losers are those who bought last (during bull), and those who sells first (during bear)(In theory, if you don't sell, you won't realise lost.. it is just paper lost. But then, if you paid for something at a premium about premium.. it might take more than a lifetime to get back to the same level). Common sense huh? Hahah.. yah.. but the only problem is identifying the bull and bear.

It was easier said than done, of coz i know.. if not, i'd be not here sitting and blogging le. The hardest part is identifying the animals lor.. haha.. even till now.. i'm still a greenhorn at the market.. lol.. easy to make mistakes lor.

Anyway, i do hope that the market will not continue to plunge like that.. it has stong implication on the economy and other issues. So shall wait for monday and see what it is like.
