102614431 : thank you for sharing ur investment journey, pls clarify 'the lesson for 2026/27 will b panic selling'? i hv been investing right before the pandemic, had an expensive lesson ..... even tillnow, still hv yet to recover my losses...still holding on to GentM, GentB...... not even sure if i m doin the rite thg, kept averaging down...keep chasing the shadows.....past the point of no return

Ultraboom OP 102614431 : What i meant by 'lesson for 2026/2027 will be panic selling', is due to the worst is yet to come, i think the next few months to next year will get even worst, and people who panic sold or going to panic sell, will learn the lesson in 2026 and 2027 when market eventually recovers, then fomo kicks in and cycle continues.
As for the holdings u have now, i cant give buy or sell advice, but I generally avoid large conglomerates and most large caps, u need to reexamine why u bought the stocks u did, a stock's price will be tied to its earnings long term, genting isnt doing well cos their earnings havent improve and is expected to worsen.
I also have an issue with genting CEO, he's the highest paid CEO of bursa companies, i think he's being paid way too much, especially considering their poor earnings performance
But a potential good thing is the Lim family stepped down from CEO role, the COO took over and hopefully hes a professional and will run the business well, but remains to be seen

WOFFEV : thx for sharing.

Ultraboom : Decent QR, not as good as q1 and q2 but better than q3, overall FY24 dragged by bad q3 cos long public holidays, despite coming frm a high base last year (2023 was a fantastic year for automotive), revenue is flat while profits are up due to efficiency improvements, i think management did a good job in controlling cost, moving forward a stronger myr shud lower input cost, the real catalyst wud b their auto hub scheduled to start operation in 2H25

Ultraboom : U should study the company and understand its business, run the numbers and see if it's cheap, not just buy and pray it goes up, that gambling, but it's ur money, u decide how u Wan to use it

Howardddd OP : that's y learn from it..

Ultraboom : I'm personally a long term investor, by long I mean at least 1-3 years if not 3-5 years, my short term is 6months to 1 year, u dun buy a stock today and expect it to go up tmr. Try understanding the company and it's business model, gauge it's prospect and decide if the valuation youre paying is reasonable

Howardddd OP Ultraboom : alright! thanks very much for the advice.. its really useful

Ryugentrades OP : Market is pretty negative today. Although some hit my entry price, best to monitor or if risk taker may want to enter in smaller volume. Low can always get lower.

ZenZiDeR : Hi, I have checked your comparison of the 20 small cap. The thing that I don't understand is that your comparison is in "day" and some criteria is in "hour" which I felt isn't suitable for small cap because small cap is about future, potential and growth. I think it should be compare in term of potential, market capital, influence, competitor and odd of success

Ryugentrades OP : Ya I agree. Really depends on what works. There is no silver bullet to analyze and decide on stocks. I use mixture of daily and hours as the daily serves to tell me the overall direction of the stock, whether uptrend or not, with price above sma daily will be worth to look at. While other indicators will be shorter timeframe as I prefer to see it from other view other than what most will see. Hopefully catching trends earlier.  Also I now move towards technicals rather than fundamentals. Fundamentals I take it that the 20 listed by RHB is a good filtered list for me to then shortlist further. So I leave the fundamentals to the Investment Banks and fine tune for my own criteria. Hope it makes sense.
I continue to see what works and what doesn’t.  Keep on learning as I trade the markets.

ZenZiDeR : I'm currently also looking at potential small cap company to gain the long-term growth. Small cap has higher chance of going bankrupt when compared to established company. I'm currently surveying Karex since has strong history

Ryugentrades OP ZenZiDeR : Karex chart looks interesting. Pullback to fibo 618 level and now consolidating. Once push above 0.90 with volume could signal further upside.
