Good investment technique requires one to "buy cheap-cheap" and "sell high-high"...
But in practice most people always do the reverse...
Because it's just human nature to fear buying when the market is falling and people are bearishly frightened that it will drop even more, so they sell instead of buy....
And when the market rises, therey will be bullishly brave and refuse to sell when it is high because they feel it will still go even higher, so they buy instead of sell...
This is why investing is so very tough to master... :)
uncertainty still rules the market and we maintain our "uncertain" stand (neutral) till end of this month...good luck

Business Times 25 Mat, 2007 - China's stock guru bullish about market
Lin Yuan intends to keep every penny invested in equities
China's Warren Buffet says he is keeping every penny invested in a share market that has nearly tripled over the past 18 months."Don't ask me whether the bull run has peaked. The stock market will be in an uptrend in the long run," Lin Yuan, who has become an idol for the millions of Chinese who are pouring into the stock market for the first time this year,
A 44 year old medical college graduate, Mr Lin said he has turned an initial stake of 8000 yuan into assets of well over one billion yuan in the past 18 years.
"My principles are simple : I nearly always invest every penny in the market," he said."To win in the stock market, you must invest everything there for most of the time.". Like Buffett, Mr Lin focuses on a relatively small number of stocks.
Mr Lin began investing in stocks in 1989 as a low ranking museum employee in Shenzen. He weathered 2 big market crashes, giving him the confidence to stay bullish on Chinese stocks even as many foreign financial fugures warn of a dangerous bubble - including Alan Greenspan.
Mr Lin's emphasis is on long term investment rather than the short term speculation.
"Presistant long position holding has made me lose no money in any single stock,"he said.
End of article.
I did mention about the benefits of being a long term investor compared to being a short term trader. I have been a short rader before. My experience has taught me that the gains made by short trader cannot match those of a long term investor presuming both have equal capital. Market sentiment does affect all stocks. But at the end of the day, fundamentals count more than anything
Good sign is that there is no panic selling except during the first few minutes upon opening bell.
Massacre today !!!

What a day to end the week...
Today DOW volume is high.. almost 4 billions shares traded on DOW..
issue: is it heavy sell down from top?
In times of bull, "cooling off" can simply mean shaking out of the bears, while the aggressive bulls position themselves for the next run-up leg.
Another point worthy of note is the size of the "bubble"...
...previous bubble sizes may become small by comparison...
A possible scenario.
Its good that the market is cooling off for a while actually ......
If there are record volumes everyday, I will be very worried because the bubble is getting gbigger and bigger.
