Trading Techniques   

The Trading Floor

Bro Caesar,

A 50% gain is what you get.
For your courage to make this bet. 
For many years when you were stuck.
You often wonder if you should just cut.
From time to time we will see fear.
Just get used to it and bring out the beer.
Drawdowns are part and parcel of this game.
Getting our trades wrong brings no shame.
Markets will not be always down.
Good times will come back, no need to frown.
" Stay invested, dont time the market" .... so they say.
Pick the right stocks and they will pay.
Investing is a marathon, not a sprint.
Play the LONG game and you will win.





Yup. Wishing everyone a great and fruitful weekend.

 

Bro sanvan, there is a poet in you. Great weekend to you too!

Tempting you.  Taunting you. Tickling you.  Playing poker with you. Daring you.  Telling you not to take a Nap. But hell, its the weekend. Have a great one.  And all other forumers too.

 

Noted with thanks. I just found out Bro tong has a target of at least $8 for AEM. Not sure if he was serious or just joking.

wavehunter      ( Date: 24-Apr-2026 16:52) Posted: Yes, you are not worried becoz you have a thick buffer there. I am not talking about buffer. I am talking about got profits no take and the market takes a big chunk of it back. Say suddenly somebody starts throwing big time and within one hour, the price falls by 50 cts to $5.50 region and you wake up from your nap to see that 50 cts of paper profit have been creamed off from your plate, how does that feel? Not good, ofcoz. That' s what I meant. And that is not what you want to happen to you. Which can happen during the time of your nap. Caesar      ( Date: 24-Apr-2026 16:24) Posted: Urh ...no leh ...almost fell asleep 😴 . Actually I am not worried. My purchase price is 4.22. I was planning to sell at 5.22. Anything above 5.22 is just extra profit. Still got some buffer, can wait till the rally runs out of steam

Now 6.08 : 6.09. Bro Caesar Houstan' s heart must be fluttering and his blood pressure must have been rising and falling in rhythm with the price.

 

stuckists in wilmar can be also known as marists - graudands from maris stella? :) or sunkists...waiting for the sun to rise another day?

wavehunter      ( Date: 24-Apr-2026 13:28) Posted: It reminds me of Wilmar International. The hype was her subsidiary IPO listing in China. They churned her and pushed her up from under $3.00 to reach $5.64, a level not seen for more than 10 years. After that when the music stopped, she Puak Toh Longkang and fell all the way down to $2.78. Those who bought early and took profits, good for them. Those who chased near the highs or worse, added more to average down when she was on the way down became stuckists. sanvan      ( Date: 24-Apr-2026 11:40) Posted: AEM is up nearly 20% mirroring the Intel price increase.  Good for those who are in this.  But $6, this one looks way overbought. When it crashes, it is going to be like sliding down naked on a blade.

wavehunter      ( Date: 24-Apr-2026 13:53) Posted: In your case, you were stuck for many years and today you have a lifeline thrown to you to get all your capital back plus interest. If I am you, I will glue my eyes to the screen. I wont go out. If I must go out, I will throw back all first to lock in my capital and interest. Becoz profit in the market is paper profits only. You can count but you cannot spend it. Only profit in your pocket is real profit. You can count. You can spend. We dunno whether she will go higher still or will drop like a rock. Just know that when the music stops, it will be a case of each man for himself and everyone will shove and push as they head for the exit. No give way and no paiseh one. For he who hesitates to throw back will get to throw at the lowest price. That long green candle you see today, if they pull out the plug today, that long green candle will end up being a candle with a long upper wick. Whether it becomes a red candle remains to be seen. All the best. Caesar      ( Date: 24-Apr-2026 13:43) Posted: I was planning to sell at 5.20+ by this month. Coz it has been sold down to 5.00 (and below) each time it hits 5.20. Did not expect it to rise so much today. Wait and see first ...

 

It is like walking across a lake which has frozen but the ice is only 5mm thick.

If you chase now, you are VERY late.
But if you still want to roll the dice, do have a tight stop loss.
If you chase now and buy, that' s what the monkey is hoping to see.

Doubt that is the main reason as Intel shares has been on the rise the last few days. BBs just wanted it to rise. DYODD.

Caesar      ( Date: 24-Apr-2026 09:27) Posted: Good morning, brothers & sisters! AEM going crazy today: hit 5.70 (+0.63) a while ago, up 12%. And still going strong. Hmm, I wonder why 🤔 . Wait and see again ..

 

Sampan has a very low volume at 2.2million. 
Also, we did not see anything done at 2.54 today. 
I think selling is done.
Prepare to see $2.60. 
And perhaps better.
