HSI and China index is truing green now. I think the mkt may rebounce a little ...

Waiting for it to be shorted to below 72 cents.
thanks for all the advice!...
  a while ago i bought in for sunvic and sold cos of korean war scare..this time i picked midas cos of their potential and ablity to not only gain from china but from the world as well.
the only this i am really hoping will not happen is that the investigation of the case in china gets midas involved. that would see the stock get suspended and what not.
  i was thinking about averaging out again..but my remiser advice me not too..so i see how..maybe when the recover run is back..i might buy to keep or when the stock bottom out..i buy more..in the mean time..save more for buy in again!
Vested in midas at 28cent 35cent 50cents 73cents 89cents 1.10 cents.
If you are a long term investors, i believe one should start to buy again..
At $1.00 u accumulate if see stock drop 30% why dun buy some more..
Unless they stop the production due to unrest in middle east, or china gov ask them to stop the production..
I believe they are still generating revenue as we speak..
Osim at $0.05 alot people screaming not to buy and selll out (do not touch)
Osim at $1.60 analyst writing buy call, people start buying
Osim sudden drop $0.30 due to middle east crisis, people say stop accumulating see a wait will drop further (What rational is this, fear perhaps i guess)
Different people got different gut level.. (Not everyone can make good money in stock, it take guts and alot of good foresight) Dont run with the herd, stay focus and wait for bargain.. Buy at a price u think it is fair,
got to ask yourself what is fair value and buy according to what u think is cheap ( Only in crisis, there is good money to be made whether short or long term accumulations of stock
S$0.74 coming ! Rebound lai liao !!!
If there is no rebound in the near term , then breaking 72 cents would see it goes   down to 67 cents which becomes the strong support now .

Since you have already paid up i would think is better to hold. If you cut loss now isn't it quite a lot to bear.When you hold there is a chance that you may recover. Result is coming out on this Fri.There may be some dividend to collect and also clarification to be announced...
Have faith in the stock + it is close to it stock value of  about 70 cents per unit ( 45% cash + Assets).

If you are not holding many and you have some extra cash that you don't really need in the foreseeable near future, than buying a few lots can average down your costs.   Note that this averaging down is conditional upon your risk aversion.

better to stay away from this counter until the dust settles. risks far outweigh any potential rewards. 
hope you are not holding too much.
72/97 is  -25% already.
may be this is a good learning lesson on stock market.
sometime ago, some stocks can become -50% in one day, -70% in one day, or even -100% ( when it is Halt , follow by Suspense for years).
take a deep breath, go back to rethink your method of investing/trading, must learn something and get better procedure next time around
