I follow FA only hehehehe

 

[Adenovirus]

Just curious.

Are you guys proficient in TA + FA or proficient in one of the 2 ?

I personally do not believe in TA because its tool for speculation which tells u zilch about the company's intrinsic value. TA will tell u many different tales over time about the performance of the company stock price which does not reflect the underlying business operation, while FA hardly changes with time.

FA tells the background of a company. TA tells the current market sentiment towards the company.

Personally I'm crap at TA, but it's a useful tool to analyze the market's sentiment. Keyword, analyze.

 

[Perisher]

I use FA to pick counters, then TA for fun as I'm not good at it. If TA fails, at least the FA is solid so I can wait it out.

I see. Well, I am very poor with TA. Sometimes can't even figure out the chart patterns

 

[ValueInvestor]

its FA that helps me stay away from crappy small cap stocks

It's what I would call "flavor of the year" stock. I still remember the S-chips, REIT and shipping companies "flavors of the years"

Actually, it's best you experience it for yourself. FA or TA, all can learn from books and websites. Only when you put $$ in, then you know what kind of investor you are.

That said, it's really cheap to get your feet wet with SCB/IB or even BCIP, bonds etc...

+1 to this. No amount of theory can prepare you for the rollercoaster ride that is the stock market.

One thing for sure now is that STI stocks are definitely not expensive. By entering now you have a HUGE advantage over those who entered at 3400+ STI even if you have less experience. Just keep in mind to only invest with money that you will not need in the near future
