Speculation As An Art

I get a lot of comments and emails where people tells me, you are using technical analysis because you use charts. I get very puzzled but at the same time I don't really bother about it because they don't know me well. Looking at all most of my before-breakout blog posts, most of them, I have done it without charts. The charts are there just for illustration purpose to the public to show where I bought and where I unloaded.

1. Just think about it, how do I know Midas will run today at 8:31am this morning before market opens, there is no charts on pre-open market? 
2. Can the chart tell me something about Top Volume activity before the stock appears on it? 
3. How did I know Oceanus would run the other day at 9:04am before any high volume appeared after I bought? 
4. How did I know Peter Lim will buy Yanlord after I bought on October 4th and alerted Robin at 8.42am on October 5th? 
5. How did I long/short a stock way before it appears in Top Volume like Mewah, Capitaland, Oceanus, etc..?

Of course these are just a few calls I made. There are many others on the blog and if you have time, you can do some reading of the entire blog.

Do you dare to give a call before market opens at 9am? Do you dare to give a call early and say this will run today or this will breakdown today and then it happens? Can you spot the high and low in a volatile market for almost a year? Well, I had proven that all that is possible if you understand how BBs are playing the game. Nothing is impossible. The only problem lies with human because all of us inherit fear, hope, greed, etc..

Charts are of course important, but I think understanding the mind of the BBs are far more important than using charts. These days when everyone has charts, I am trying to go back to those days where charts aren't readily available because I believe that's a challenge, to do things most people can't get it right. I using numbers to determine whether a stock is ready to move or not just like what happened to Midas earlier and many other stocks. Of course, to reach this stage without charts, you would need to have a very good memory with numbers which I think I only met 1 person who can do it consistently with profits. Talk is cheap, however there are a few who saw it live when I did it and I always produce trade records to show that I really trade.

Speculation - A Difficult Art

I received an email with regards to one of my follower who shorted JEL Corp. When I read the email, something in the past came into my mind. Many years back when I lost money, I was also following someone else's call and during that time all I was concerned was just making money and not wanting to lose. Just because everyone thought he was accurate so I just followed blindly. In the end, I lost more than my capital and was on debt that took me years to repay.

Moral of story, in speculation or trading, every single cent counts as the money is belongs to you, you must trade this market with your own call and not someone's else. If you lose money because of someone else's call you will never learn as you are just following the crowd. But if you lose money yourself, you will learn more about yourself and gain enlightenment during the process. Every lesson comes with a hefty price and only when you pay more money to the market to teach you lessons will then you become wiser and more experience. When it's all set and done, you will realize that money, winning and losing are not important, those are just feelings and monetary gains. To me at least, it's the journey towards enlightenment and stretching one's limit towards gaining ultimate wisdom counts.
