Time for Metamorphosis

What've been written so far are in fact genuinely from the botttom of the heart.No regret, as i started leading my life i very much savour . I'm now into something i try spicing it up bit by bit.Next time you 'd see something very much different from the previous.Die or live , succeed or failure are not in the headlines though they are something i care to survive.

To be involved in the mainstream jobs which literally promiss lucrative income and profit might be the dreams for most of the job-seekers out there.It makes no surprise to mention that there are some bold and creative dudes who brave their own ways into unknown territory. Money is important nowadays though ,but doesn't mean we couldn't lead an differrent lifestyle that the unconventional job or the work brings about.

It could be hard to imagine at times for myself to take up career change from an engineer and a one-time property developer to taking up career in finance and now the stepping-in to the tourim industry.

It's really worth the effort to slow down and take time off to squeeze a wee bit of the brain juice so that not to regret the decision of a lifetime.Life is too short to go back to and groan what we should have done and become if we were to be blessed and given the take-two in life.

Going into tourism is a gut but not a rush decision and i took almost a year to implore and data searching from technical to even spiritual aspect of it.I even went to the extent to seek out hint from Bazi school of thought to know if it really suits me though it ended up still a question mark.

Freelancing

Back to the life of freelancing again. It could be such a relief if you are thinking that no more of the backstabbing by your colleagues , the blank promises of your cunning bosses, the tremendous freedom ahead.However, there are certain downsides we have to get over in order to succeed this rewarding process of freelancing.One thing to be extra cautious is to never cave in to any temptation or it might end up being proverbial starving dreamchaser.It has been suggested that doing one or two things a day to maintain the surviving backbone and the other that could help open up window of opportunity in the future.That sounds rather easy , right? But trust me it's easier said than done, partly because you have to keep your budget down to make ends meet unless you have unlimited disposable savings that can sustain you for the rest of life.

However, it is not impossible if we can discipline what's been timetabled and planned. Having said that ,never ever let the abovementioned be the noise that interupt all your effort to execute to innnermost burning desire that is the prerequisite to drive us through during the struggling and trying period in this process.

How the Big Guns do it ?

Let's talk about the game now played on the KLSE screenboard. Have the novice or the retail players like me ever pondered some tricks played by the institutional player like EPF?It could be fun when you read not the screen but the movement placed by the force of the volume.I noticed it when i found out there were sell and buy transaction for the same stock for the same day.It happened like this. You can tell the difference when you spot that one large volume which is few folds more than any other volume intraday placed at price lower than the current price for one particular stock,normally blue chips.It is the support to prevent any sudden fall in price caused by sellers. When the bull ( which might be temporary) happens at one particular day, this big gun starts selling but would buy up the same stocks if if the price falls to that supportive level to prevent sudden fall in price.

When you happen to encounter one ,please welcome it for it might be your fortune if you have bought in that stocks during the bear period.

Let's just do it!

It's a long time , everyone.It sure comes home with a hit now.It's still on our funny economy.We spotted it right with a bull.It's now down, down, down,and it's still carrying the momentum though at differring rate around the world. Some may beg to differ but it's no doubt our klsc could still hold on to 850 points. Let's wait to see how long it can possibly hold on not below 700 points.It's a fun game.A lot might wonder how could we fetch up good bargain right away. I'd say go ahead and make sure your do your homework.Perhaps i could throw some good advice but please view them with cautiuos and inquisitive mind.

It's always easier to believe rumours that any such XYZ stocks do promise certain amount of quick bucks , not to mention that such spread of 'fortune-telling' could possibly be from the mouth of the owner of these stocks , there are some from the so-called analysts who are paid professional 'fortune tellers' spreading like wild fire in the forest. Trust me it's much better to sense it with your own gut feeling followed by some basics of the game.

Personally i do perform fundamental analysis on certain stocks which gives me a buffer or a factor of safety if what are told by technical analysis going the opposite direction. Fundamental analysis does tell us the degree of how solid the stock is but it's not always recognised by the institutiona playersl or hedge fund.That is why the technical analysis play the part. So , please do buck up yourself on the two's if you are serious to dive into the market

Inflation

Fuel price hike warning calls! Though it has been promised by the government that no petrol price increases for this year ,alas it went up with no mercy to rm 2.70 per litre-broke the Malaysian Guiness's Record for the biggest leap in rate ever.It has in fact affected every part and parcel of its citizen, more true to those struggling in any attempt to make ends meet.What can the normal citizen do but to accept what's been decided.Rm625 rebate could sustain us in no more than few trips to Kedah from KL.But that was played to temporarily silent the critics and furious 'Mr./Mrs.Malaysian Boleh'-just counting down how much longer we 'boleh'in the face of the alleged and proved inflation clouding every Malaysian.Start tighten up the taps or source for more taps now all fellow Malaysians. We are indeed in recession now or much better be termed stagflation-price increases for most items but are rarely in demand due to less confidence or reduced purchasing power. Consequently, retailers are forced to either reduce prices and reluctantly accept deflated profit or to reduce production. The latter tends to worsen unemplyment rate in the country. Squeese your every cent and dollar to its worth!

Stockalism

It's been for years since last traded in Share market .But only since last year that i really seriously dipped my head into studying Stock and its research on hundreds of stocks in the current market be them blue chips or penny stocks.Books by local or foreign writers became my recent favourites.However i'm not going to bla-bla on what is stock or any of the fundamental or technical analysis on when to buy and sell shares, which counters to pay attention to and to avoid, what are the fair prices and its intrinsic values and all the macroeconomic factors that so-so-claimed could skyrocket or plunge the share prices.

My concern now is whether share market is really meant for all retailers or so-called 'small fish' (small cap) who have lost hundreds of thousands bucks in the 'shark' (share) market during the 1997 financial crisis and some didn't even make it back through the boom time.All the stock investors gurus are so generous in their books to show you how to make millions in the stock market and some even put up media advertisement to woo apprentise and charge up to rm10k per student-now they discounted up to affordable amounts as competition heated up recently to attract you and me to become millionaires.

Come on-lah. Do you think these so-called gurus wouldn't be sitting down there in front of thier laptop screen busying getting millions and millions first before they could even spare thier golden times to coach you and me to be richer than themselves. Same goes to the book writers whom i might naively believe are willing to share thier 'secret-recipe' to the public. I would challenge that not even 99.9% of all human kind would do that unless they are the 0.1% which according to the AAA psychiatrists might be mentally imbalanced or they may be dead-man whom thier secret-recipe in the tomb were discovered by Indiana Jones or yes they are really kind monk who see money as mere incense papers presented to the souls during Chinese 'Chin Meng' day.
Please do not take me as paronoid. If there was not the case, then a lot of business today would go bust due to fierce competition.I guess the ' KF* ' would be the first food chain restaurants conglomerate to head south if they are so generous to let us know its recipe.

To be bluntly straight to the point, those joker-gurus are just out there to hunt for the first millions by selling you that technical knowledge which even they themselve could not guarantee the sure-win even after so many years in that battlefield cum with all the best knowledge they ever manage to gather over the years from the best stock masters
