@TanKiwanWei: This is only my opinion/guess. With US election coming soon, I do not think that any speculator would dare to try to short the market while predicting the current US government every their best to improve US economy. Anyway, I do not rule out the possibility of market crash (e.g. 20% market drop), although the chances are slightly lower until US Election.

@Trader Hub: I do invest in bursamalaysia since 14 years back. I just started investing in Sgx since last year. To be frank, volatility of Sg mkt is in the middle of My mkt and Hk mkt. So I trade more frequently in sg mkt as compared to My mkt.
@Tan Kian Wei: I prefer cash cow company with low capex requirement. You can find a lot of these companies in beverage sectors. Of course, sometime I also prefer cyclical stocks which is in the uptrend now such as oil&gas sector now or palm oil sector few months back. Anyway, do manage your risk while investing. As I am now full time investor/trader, so I can always monitor the market. p/s: All my income streams are stock market related now, until I will try to create another income stream (property rental income) end of this year.

Hi, basically I am also still in the learning stage, I will first filter out company with good ROE records, and then dig out more on its business model and see whether it has the potential consistent growth in long run or having a good dividend payout ratio. Having say that, I also encounter some problem in investing in S-chip, which most of the investors don't like.
