Trading is Risky, Will Lose Money?

Is Shares/Warrants Trading Risky?



One local Professional Trader cum Trainer said “You are guaranteed to lose money in Trading. So must have money management or risk management rules put into practice so that what you lose is less than what you make over time.” In short, he is preaching there is no perfect trading method/system, no holy grail, cut loss if you are wrong. So he is telling you his trading method taught to students also has weakness. Do you know why it will fail, when it will fail and what will fail? Why pay to learn from him? Haha, today, this Professional Trader wrote in his blog saying he is confused with the US markets and now sitting on the fence. Would I want to pay to learn from him?



One US expert trader said “If Trading is Risky, Why Trade and lose Money? Find a Winning System! Otherwise, dun trade!



I agree with the US expert. Why trade and lose money? Why trade and be prepared to cut loss when you know the trading method has weakness? If I know the trading method has weakness: why it will fail, when it will fail and what will fail, I will not trade or use the method.

Now, I fear not because I have discovered a Winning Method for Trading STI Put Warrants. Yes, consistently making profits since I started after monitoring to confirm it works for some time. And, nobody believe me, including my “Trading Representative & Co”.



But I realised I've been losing money after I started STI Put Warrants Trading: Broker overcharged me at 0.33% instead of 0.28% brokerage and related fees:

  1. Contra Profits for STI Put Warrants Trading were lower with the higher brokerage fee, plus higher related fees such as GST, etc., especially when the contract value is high.

  2. Shares Trading/Investing Profits were lower since I started many years back.



Although I did check when I first started online trading and noticed minor differences in the brokerage fees, thinking the online calculator only give estimates, I did not seek clarifications and continued. (I know nothing about investment/share trading then). Differences were minor because I started small. Now the contract value for the STI Put Warrants trading is bigger, that triggered my suspicion and further action to investigate.


More horror stories unveiled:

  1. Default is 0.33% with Remisier, 0.28% with Dealer.

  2. Company website is not correct: Non-advisory online Trading is 0.28% and Advisory online is 0.33% . No, not like this.

  3. Surprised you are charged 0.33% for warrants

  4. All my clients are charged at 0.33%

  5. Change to Dealer to get 0.28%

  6. I've too many clients, find another Trading Rep

  7. Account suspended, change of trading rep.

  8. 300k trading limit, no deposit required. Now, deposit 100k to get 300k trading limit

  9. No deposit? 100k trading limit.

  10. 300k temporary trading limit for today, ok.

  11. Remisier comfortable with you, maybe less deposit required

  12. Account suspended, you send emails to complain, new Trading Rep stressed.

  13. Find your own Trading Rep to activate your account.

(item 7 to 13 occurred in 1 day)



Wah lau! Bloody Sharks (Unstable Remisiers)! My investment at risk! Trading is Risky! No contingency plan! Dead!



Thank God! I have no share holdings! Market Crash, I'm dead! No means to sell! Other trading accounts I have dun have necessary trading limits. I forgot the password for other trading accounts dormant for so many years. I dun know how to use the other dormant systems.



Learnt a painful lesson! Going to start contingency plan - activate online trading systems with other brokers. Seeking professional help to deal with Broker Shark!

CPF@55 Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer!

CPF@55  Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer! Do you know that  CPF@55  policy can help you get richer with a bigger SA (Special Account Balance) after 55? Yes, provided your are rich with a big OA (Ordinary Account Balance) and SA which exceeds the FRS (Full Retirement Sum).  Assuming you have $240k (SA), $160k (OA) and FRS is $200k, this is how you can become richer after 55: 1.  2 weeks before your 55th birthday, buy a stable Unit Trust Bond Fund with $200k SA under CPFIS/SA investment scheme (minimum $40k SA must be maintained) 2.  On your 55th birthday, CPFB will transfer $40k (SA) and $160k (OA) to your RA (Retirement Account) to form $200k FRS. 3.  Next day, sell your CPFIS/SA investment of $200k, this will be returned to your SA. 4.  You now have $200k (SA) and $0 (OA) after RA is created! What happens on your 55th birthday if you did not do the hack (ie. step 1&3) above?  CPFB will transfer $200k (SA) to RA.  So after 55, you will have $40k (SA) a

Fengshui Forecast was Spot On Again!

Fengshui Forecast for August 2008 Stock Market was spot on again! STI had a major correction of more than 10%, dropping from 2906 on August 1 to 2574 on September 5. Too bad, I was not ready to short sell this bear market. But I felt very happy that I've exited the market before this crash. Thanks for the Fengshui Forecast! I prefer to simply wait on the sidelines, with my cash holdings earning interest from the bank or money market funds. This is a bear market! Capital Preservation is Key! Cash is King! Survival first, make money afterwards! Patience will be rewarded when the Time is Right! "Mr Market has never failed to recover from every setback. But not so for individual stocks!”

Stock Trader's Almanac 2009

After I started working, I was always at MPH or Times Bookshops on weekends, reading books to upgrade myself. With internet, I no longer do that except when I cannot find the information I want. Recently, I started visiting the bookshops again. I went to Kinokuniya this time as it has a wider range of books and uncontrolled (ie not shrink wrapped). I found the Stock Trader's Almanac 2008 and read it. I was disappointed as I thought I can find things mentioned in Amfraser's STI Forecast or useful information for the rest of 2008. A very expensive book costing S$70+, but I read it free! Ha ha, times are bad, many people do that at the bookshops! When the Stock Trader's Almanac 2009 is out, you can see me at Kinokuniya again!
