Hello everyone,
I have just launch a new forum at www.lokaloka.net (Know your Neighbourhood Better).
This is NOT a forum about stock market in Malaysia, but LokaLoka.net is all about the news, gossips, and happenings in your neighbourhoods that matters the most to you.
I stay in Seri Kembangan, Selangor and I have posted a few stuffs in the Seri Kembangan's board. Take a look at the board here under Seri Kembangan or Puchong.
To make it simple, LokaLoka.net categorized Malaysia into different states and then subcategorized them into different cities/towns so that we can know our specific neighbourhood better. It is easy to use and registration is an ease.
So members of TalkandShare.com, I hope you can join us as a member in www.LokaLoka.net to listen and share all the news, gossips, and happenings around our city.
Until then, good luck to your stock investment and trading in KLSE. Cheers~

Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy, They First Praise Highly |

Ancient Greek has a saying, “Whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first praise highly”. In the stock market, my saying is, “That which smart money wish to distribute, they will first push them up”. A
share has three values. There are: the market value; the net tangible
asset value, and the intrinsic value. The first two values are easy to
understand. Intrinsic value needs some explanation. Intrinsic value
means the real value. What actually is the real value of a company? To
know the real value of a company, we have to take into consideration
all the aspects of that company. First, it’s the management, its
capability; reliability, integrity, honesty and its moral values must
all be considered. Then it’s the earnings. Are the earnings sustainable? And what is the likely growth rate? Net
tangible assets and intangible assets, like goodwill, patents and
monopoly must also be taken into the calculation. The nature of its
business, its dividend policy and whether it has a high-entry barrier
is also important and must be considered. As
it is, the intrinsic value is indeed very hard to calculate. I think
ten accountants will come out with ten different answers. The important
thing to remember is that earnings are the lifeblood of a company. It’s
the future earnings per share (without the exceptional items) that
matter. Keep this in mind and do your own calculation. Because
of overly optimism or overly pessimism, manipulation, rigging, insider
trading and speculation, share prices can go up to great heights and
down to incredibly low levels every now and then. A
smart investor or speculator is able to exploit these situations. Can
you do it? If you can, someday you will be rich. If you can’t, better
start learning now, so that someday, you too can do it and be rich. Good luck and Merry Christmas.

Here are some common mistakes made in the stock market. I hope readers will take note and avoid them:-
Holding on to a falling stock hoping to get out even or a small gain. (In most cases, the hope becomes hopeless).
Buying in a downtrend or compounding your error by averaging down indiscreetly.
Buying penny stocks without knowing their intrinsic value
Buying on tips and rumors or tagging long with friends
Buying a share because of its name
Not knowing how to select good solid companies
Not knowing what is good advice
Not using charts and being afraid to buy stocks that are trending up
Taking profits too quickly
Speculating more than one can afford to lose
Overestimating one’s own ability (Don’t be the praying mantis thinking it can block a car)
Approaching the market wrongly.
Trying to make the maximum amount of money in the least possible time.
Not realizing that investing intelligently is the right approach.
Not learning from one’s mistakes and that of others..
Fortunes
are made and fortunes are lost in the stock market. If you want to be a
winner, be serious about it. Don’t go in for fun, but for the fund.
Happy investing.

The Correct Approach is Important |

Never approach a horse from the back, a golfer from the side, or a fool in any direction.
The correct approach is the key to success. This is true in the stock market or any other type of business.
The
beauty of the stock market is that you can either invest or speculate
or do a combination of both. Speculation is not my cup of tea. I prefer
to invest.
To invest in the stock market means to buy
undervalued sound equities or other financial instruments which promise
safety of principal and a good return in the form of capital gains or
dividend income after through investigation.
Actually capital
appreciation is the name of the game. Dividend yield is the safety net.
I would rather do my trapeze with a safety net than without one.
Blue-chip
counters are easy to identify. The important thing is that you must not
overpay for them. You may buy the bluest of all blue chips and not make
money because you bought them at the wrong time. It is much better to
buy small-cap size stocks which have good earnings per share with
explosive earnings growth and a high-entry barrier.
The success
or failure of a company is dependent on its management which is
normally its major shareholder. Good management makes money for its
minority shareholders. The bad ones “eat” them.
Good management
means management with capabilities, integrity, and a high moral value.
These are not easy to find. So be careful.
Speculation in the
stock market means the assumption of a long or short position in a
financial instrument in the anticipation of a favorable market movement
which should result in a gain when the position is covered. Speculation
provides much thrill and excitement. But it is a dangerous game. Unless
you are a genius, it is very difficult to make money consistently. At
best you have a fifty to fifty chance.
Whether you want to invest or to speculate, it’s up to you. For me, investment is my choice and I would rather stay with it.

I can confirm the below is true because Jeffooi.com already posted it on his front page. I think this is the least I can do, and wish the girl can be saved.
A Chinese young lady was kidnapped by three males of mixed races in Shah Alam this morning.
The victim is Dora Goh Wei Wei, 25, 155cm, curly hair. (picture has been removed due to request from readers)
The kidnappers sped off in an older model Camry, metallic gold in colour.
Only the numerical part of the car-plate was captured -- 7641.
Goh was reportedly kidnapped when she was parking her car at
Padini's Office in Glenmarie, Shah Alam, around 8.30am this morning.
Please report to the nearest police station, or call 012-328 5965 if you spot the car.
