Red Overall Market On First Trading in 2016 (4.1.2016)

As of 4.1.2016 (Monday), the day most anticipated by investors, traders, brokers & big firms because this is the first day of stock exchange market trades in 2016.

The good news is we are set for a new year. New Resolutions, New Expectations & New Hope are made this year.

People would always hope they can earn money out of stock to have a freedom life. But, Mr. Market doesn't seems to react accordingly.

Now, the bad news is:

Every Stock Exchange in the world are bearing today. Below is the screenshot taken today to refresh my memories of this Black Monday.

KLSE(Malaysia) has plunged 39 points to 1653.7 on the beginning of 2016 while STI (Singapore) plunged 46 points to 2835.97.

The market now is going slow because:

1.The FED announcement of interest hikes of 0.25% in December 2015

2. Oil prices plunged to below USD35 in December 2015

3. Market sentiments are slowing down because the FEAR of PEOPLE

Well, the actual reason for this Black Monday is the half of Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchange after the index drops by a whopping 7 percent. 

Big firms might be panic about new year 2016 and starts to sell of all their holdings causing this event to happen all in a sudden. 

For details, you can read it here.

China people should be in shocked in their first trading day of 2016. 

Nevertheless, Bursa Malaysia is also experiencing drop because of aftereffect. If you have good wisdom and have done homework earlier, this is a good chance to increase stock holdings.

In conclusion, Be Greedy When The Others Are Fearful. Just grab good stock while you can. 2016 is a tough year especially for Oil & Gas industries. Hope we can squeeze some profits from the stock market. 

Cheers.

Stock Market Is Tumbling Down - Is Bear Coming?

Hi. This is the first post on dividendnomad.blogspot.sg. Today marks the history of the market downside since 2008.

Basically, stock market has turned into a deep red sea which all the stocks tumbling down from their high. Refer to the pic below:

This is the worst drop since August 10, 2011. All the traders, value investors, dividend incomers are in panic mode. Honestly, we do not know what might be happening tomorrow.

For a better insight on the explanation how severe it is, visit here.

Today is a history record moment and I have taken screenshots for different indexes around the globe showing their poor performance after the market close (24/8/2015). Refer to the screenshots below for more details on each stock market:

 



Top (from left to right) : US Dow Jones Index, Hong Kong Hang Seng Index, Malaysia KLSE Index
Bottom (from left to right) : Singapore STI Index, China Shanghai Index

Looking at the data shown, Shanghai Index has most significant drop of 8.49%.

There are speculations on what might be happening today but here are the questions people start questioning:
1. What is happening to stock market? Is Bear Coming?
2. Why there is a sudden drop right now?
3. Do the drop of the oil price dominates the cause for this?
4. Should I buy now or should I sell?
5. How to rake in tonnes of profit at this market?

From my experience of investing, we cannot time the market.

No single market is able to achieve a long term growth or bull market.

As Warren Buffett said : " Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful, Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy."

As for me, I have a positive attitude toward the current situation as this is a good time to profit from the stock market. This is because almost all the blue chips stocks are dropping down and you can buy the blue chip stocks for long term investment.

The saddest part for me right now is I am trap inside the red deep sea. My portfolios are in red but I would have to dig money to buy more stocks.

In conclusion, my opinion is this is the best time to profit in stock market. CASH IS KING RIGHT NOW!

PROFIT NOW OR REGRET!
