Bro Wave, I reckon it is a classic case of me buying without realising that the price movement will still swing up and down because of the monkeys or BBs toying with it.

In reality,  that is why I tend to buy after market closes at 5pm to avoid buying at higher price during market hours. However, I may still end up buying at a price and the next day it drops further.  😅

Bro yoga,

Do a post mortem to analyse your decision to see if you can learn from it.
What perimeters were you looking at to prompt you to buy?
What went wrong?
What didnt align with your gutfeel?
Sometimes you can find something there.
Other times not.
But until you do the post mortem, you wouldnt know.
If really cannot find anything, then at the very least what you would have learnt is the importance of not buying 
too much too fast. Becoz our timing can suck and sometimes suck real bad, by spreading out our BUYs, we can
keep averaging down to bring our entry price closer to the bottom.

Did a paper trade for SingTel and it dropped after I bought it mentally.  Think I will just do my yoga for now.  😅

Thanks Bro spore.  Sigh.  Not really sure about the likely outcome for SingTel results and whether the monkeys controlling SingTel are planning to push it up or down.

SingTel results will be out on 21 May. Do take note. 4.83-4.84

Yes. 100 shares as I missed the opportunity to buy on Wednesday and from experience, things can go awry when I am greedy. You can see a big gap between Bro Spore1' s buy price and my price. I used Tiger Brokers for this trade. It added up to $ 927.57, including the commission and other transaction charges. I received $ 90.81 from this trade and it brings far more joy than working with toxic co-workers.

Just 100 shares? So cost just $925? Wow, like that also can make money, congrats! Now going down fast ...

Nibbled 100 shares at $ 9.25 yesterday and sold at $ 10.21 this morning. TGIF

Queing at 4.81 for Singtel. Bro Yoga, want to come along?
CDL looks bad. Just broke 200 day moviing average. 
Support at 7.30. Seems low, but may go there. 
SCI 6.16, is not dropping faster enough. Too resilient. 
Can the shortists please work harder.

Update on Bitmine for the small community of Bitmine investors in this Trading Floor.

Tom Lee said the market will have a drawdown around mid-year period.
This drawdown can be 10%, 15% or 20%.
Even if it is only 10%, it will feel like we are in a bear market.
He also said market may also make like a " round trip" back to the start of 2026.
Meaning we go back to where market was at the start of the year.
But the good news is after this correction is done, markets will rally and end higher by the end of the year.
Assuming his narrative is correct, then what we do NOT want to do is to be stuck in stocks bought higher
when the correction comes. We do not want to be in the correction, We want to be at the sidelines watching
but not agonizing from the correction. We want to be 100% cash as CASH IS KING when there is a correction.
After that when the correction ends, we want to swoop in to Ka Ka Hoot to pick up bargains. Say is lidat say.
Actual execution is another thing and left to be seen. But its good to talk about it now before it happens so that
we can plan for it and adjust our position sizing etc.

Tom Lee was asked and he said his price target for Ethereum by the end of 2026 is $9000 to $12000.
Remember I mentioned before that for Tom Lee, his price direction so far has turned out to be right though his
timing isn' t as CHUN. But its okay. So long as Ethereum really goes to $9000 to $12000 region some time in the
future be it 2027 or 2028, that is also a good outcome. 

I asked AI what is the price of Bitmine when the price of Ethereum is at $9000 to $12,000. This is AI' s answer.
Just sharing this update for those of you who are vested in Bitmine.

This stock is a mountain and those who chased it are mountaineers.
And those who dare to chase it over the last 2 weeks are now rewarded for their bolas of steel.
Now that they are up there standing at/near the peak of this mountain, they can take a break and rest there to enjoy the stunning view.
But there is one thing about climbing a mountain. Especially this type of mountain.
Dont overstay your welcome.
At some point you need to make you way out and count your money.
Just dont wait until this mountain suddenly and without warning ERUPTS !!!

Bro spore,

If you dont mind, post your trades immediately when your order is filled.
Or better still, post to inform the moment you queue to buy or sell.
Whether its Bro yoga or some other bro or gal or Ah Pek or Ah Mmm here wants to follow, let everyone who wish to follow
do so with his/her eyes open that nobody here owes nobody else a living. Any trading suggestion offered is free. If you make
money, no need to Chia Lim Kopi. But if lose money, cannot KPKB. That' s the deal. If not agreeable, dont follow. If want to
follow, means you agree to the rules of engagement here.

So Bro spore... you can pung sim and fire away.
Let those who have ears and wish to listen, listen.
Let those who have eyes and wish to read, read.
Let those who have bolas and capital and wish to roll the dice, roll.

bear has three ways to deal with cockroaches...
one: spray insecticide at it.
two: make noise and chase it out of my comfort zone.
three: catch it and let it go outside in the garden where it belongs.

My bear mate has a fourth way to deal with cockroaches. She takes some tissue and squishes the cockroach and that's it. No need to clean up the smell and mess after my insect spray. That's her preferred execution method-- Squish it and flush it down the toilet bowl.

Trade with brave killing methods

How I wish my stock entry price is " one shot one kill" like your cockcroach kill record..  😅

wavehunter      ( Date: 14-May-2026 14:58) Posted:

Suddenly out of the blue, an ugly looking cockcroach crawled out from dunno where in my study and appeared at the top of a
chest of drawers next to me. I reached out for my sandal to hit it. I was mindful to hit hard enough to kill the cockcroach but
yet not so hard that it will squeeze the innards out leaving a wet patch on my furniture which will then necessitate some work
to clean up and fumigate. I absolutely hate cockcroaches. Other bugs I am more tolerant and forgiving but cockroaches...I
hate them. 

I have one non-negotiable rule when it comes to cockcroaches in my flat. If I see one, only one of 2 things can happen. The
1st outcome is that cockroach dies. My preferred mode of execution is insecticide. One good spray at the roach and it is doomed.
I will watch where it goes so that I can retrieve its body later for disposal. This method works best. I would rather not whack it
becoz too soft and it wont die...too hard and its innards will spill out. Then have to clean up. So far so good. Every cockroach 
which entered my home never left. Every single one of them had to hand in their NRIC for cancellation.

The 2nd option is somehow when I am trying to exterminate it, the cockcroach somehow found its way out of my flat and escapes.
This has never happened. I do not have clutter in my home. Even my storeroom is neat and tidy. My stuffs are mostly stored in
photocopy paper boxes or shoeboxes. So no clutter for a cockroach to run in and blend in and disappears. Every cockcroach 
which has entered my home did not leave. My track record is ONE SHOT, ONE KILL. Everytime.

That' s how I deal with cockcroaches.

What about you guys ? When you see a cockcroach, what do you do ? Walk away ? Dont bother ? 
I think many people do that. They just leave the cockcroach alone believing it will find its way out in time.

Good point, Bro Wave.  Anyway,  I have tried paper trading before and there are a mixture of good and bad trades which will probably be the same if I had actually traded.
I guess that is part and parcel of trading. 

wavehunter      ( Date: 14-May-2026 20:41) Posted:

Try this then.
The next time you are damn khocksure that it is a very good time to buy a stock, dont buy.
Just do a PAPER BUY. Meaning no actual buy but a mental buy.
After that watch what happens to the stock.
If becoz you didnt buy the stock actually went up but if you had bought the stock will fall, 
then it means Mr Market is standing right  behind you watching every trade you make so
that he can immediately skrew you up. I suppose one solution is you dont trade. You mirror
Bro spore' s trades. Try a few trades and see how. You dont try, you wont know. 

yoga123      ( Date: 14-May-2026 16:32) Posted:

Whenever I buy any counter, it will always drop. 
Dunno why,  it will drop even though it has already been dropping before I bought.  Not that I bought when it is climbing up.

If I buy this AEM or SingTel, it will likely drop also.  😅
