@lovely. I understand your formula. Funny enough, after months of though, i realised how im going to go through, this yr and next. Its quite similar to yours. I choose long term companies, that i want to invest in. Blue chips, or strong fundamentals. I buy during the downturns. And whenever the market recovers, i wait and sell at around 10 percent or thereabouts. And hold the cash, until the market drops again and i get another buying opportunity. My formula predicts that the stock market will rise and fall on the way down. Incase i buy and the share doesn't gain by around ten percent, i'll happily lock my self in till the market recover after 2012.
The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself
