(To the Thread starter.........)
Who says stock market will definitely rise in the future?!?!?!?!
This assumption that the market will always rise is largely base on USA's experience...................
The Japanese market has been a decline, for example in 1997 Nikkei 225 is 22750pts........fast forward to 2000, Nikkei is 20833....fast forward again to 2007 Nikkei is 18269.........2010 Nikkei is 11204 (Each successive peaks has been lower than previously attained)
The STI has been no better, it was only until 2006-2007 that it managed to "break form"..........
The future, can make your investments look under-valued, but it may well make it OVER-valued too.............You can go check creative's history for more evidence.......
Is value investing gambling???
You cannot equate uncertainty as gambling...............
For example a basketball player takes a 3 pointer shot.........Is he gambling?
If so, then why hire professionals to play basketball???
There are many urban myths about investing/Technical Analysis.............But there is only one truth, you only invest during the end of the bear market<----------When I tell people, that my best picks will come 2-3yrs later, they are always "jawed-drop"
"Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own"
