I don't really consider them shorts, they tend to be illiquid counters with bigger spreads (the greens are biosensors, Shangturbo, Karin, Swing Media & Fischer) also happen a few of them just reported their results

I was thinking perhaps we could dig deeper into some companies at this point in time to look for value instead of being overly focused on short-term price movements.

Short-term price movement will allow people to look for buying/selling opportunity, So for now, it's time to look around to do some "share-buyback".

Agree MW, right now, many counters have moved away from my perceived "margin of safety". So I rather wait for more red days. Hopefully my "targets" go down together with the market

hi mw,
its normal human behaviour to get engrossed with huge market ups n downs. these seemed far more exciting n attention gripping at the moment than anythimg else.
as moderator, i am sure u have noticed when counter move a lot, thats the time also the conversation count on that counter shoots up, esp so if a big wellknown company is involved.
its like that in other countries also.

Yes, thanks, point noted. I guess it also opens up opportunities for value purchases.

Yes. People are mostly clouded by emotions of greed and fear. Currently, it is fear playing out in making Mr Market offer lower prices than before. It is when extreme pessimism builds up will meet with great opportunities for potential value buys at lower prices.

The lower the market prices offered by Mr Market, the lesser the risk and thus higher the returns, as one can buy with greater margin of safety the lower the price gets assuming he has bought below his estimated intrinsic value per share of a company.

switch off the stock market.
