I write this post for skeptics. If you are one of them, then please read on. Many beginners in the stock market don’t believe that market analysis techniques taught in the books, internet or any training from financial consultants or stock analysts do really work in the financial markets. In their mind they said that if it works, why are they teaching it and not keeping it unto themselves. To add to the doubts that they have, the methods taught seem to be strange and have little to do with the Main Street businesses. Well, I was one of them before but I do my homework to find out what really makes the financial market ticks. Here I will present 10 market analysis methodologies that work in the stock market and it also serves as a learning guidance for those who want to explore more of the equities, commodities or even forex markets. Anyway, it works.

Today was indeed a violent day for United States financial markets. Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell by 679.95 points (-7.70%) after official announcement that United States confirmed in recession. NASDAQ fell by 137.50 points (-8.95%) while S&P 500 plunged by 80.03 points (-8.93%). It is another day with huge movement. I said in my last post that a new beginning is possible. I guess I am wrong on this looking at the market behaviour today. Anyway, we trade by the chart and self-opinion could be wrong. For now, I turned to short position as trading signal was triggered for Malaysia FKLI.

Maybe you’re playing it safe for now – CDs and government bonds mean you sleep better at night. Maybe you’ve had enough of the volatility and market-induced stomach ulcers. I can’t say I blame you.

But just as the saying “what goes up, must come down” holds some truth, so does the opposite. This economy will eventually swing back up (for more than a day or two) and when it does, you want to be ready for it. Investing in the stock market still remains the best way to increase your wealth. You just have to avoid using these common excuses that even capable, intelligent people use to avoid the stock market:

In my previous post, FKLI Nov contract failed to close above the 870 points level on the intraday hourly chart. This week is a short week for US as they are preparing for the holiday season. Dow Jones fall in the morning session but rally after the afternoon session to close on a positive note of 36 points (+0.43%), while NASDAQ was down by 7.29 points (-0.50%). By now, I believe that many people are scratching their heads and wonder where does the global financial markets are heading to? Recession and unemployment are felt everywhere. Banks are failing. Giant insurance company AIG broke the silence by announcing her mountainous problems. Automakers are begging for cash from the government. All these news are really depressing to the economy. But as we all know that the stock markets are leading the main street business by months. Rescue plans are on the way to the ailing companies. Value and blood are found everywhere on the financial streets. Will this be the end of the financial depression? Should we expect a healthy rally from here? Let’s look into the Malaysia stock market.

Most people won’t be able to distinguish the differences between price and value. To them, they are the same. In reality, it is not the same. If price and value is the same then we would not need to consider so much when it comes to purchasing anything in our whole life. We just walk to the stores and pay for what we need. In fact, the former sentence got a catch in between the lines. You see, what I need is not what you need. So how can the value be the same for everyone? Why is this question important in the first place? If we are able to answer this, we will be able to unlock the fundamental concept of value investing.

I believe that most of us have heard of stock market operators. They are known by many different names and they are constantly the blame for our financial losses. In some parts of the world, they are known as sharks, syndicates, big bosses, speculators, liars, cheaters or stock market manipulators. Some of us cheer their existence and their operations while some cursed them as if they are the culprits to our financial ruins. Are they our friends or foes? As the famous saying goes, know thy foes and you will have the upper hand in battle. In this post, I will challenge and dare you to swim with the sharks and eat from the crumbs of their feeds and not to be their feed. Here I would like to bring out some of my personal thoughts on this question that most newbie has.
