Recently I attended a free Seminar organised by OCBC Securities on a Practical Guide to Entry and Exit. The speaker that shared his thoughts with us was a trader who has more than 20 years of trading experience, Wong Kon How. I have shared below on the insights gleaned from his seminar with us. Feel free to share your thoughts with me in the comments section!

Investors can be Classified into 4 Quadrants



(i) Short Term Investor

- 2 days to 3 months 
- Derivatives and consider Stocks

(ii) Short Term Trader

- Intra-day 
- Derivatives e.g CFD

(iii) Long Term Investor

- 3 years or more 
- Stocks and Property

(iv) Long Term Trader 

- 3 months to 3 years 
- Stocks and can consider Derivatives

We can strive to achieve all 4 quadrants. An individual does not necessarily have to fit into only 1 quadrant. 




Relationship between Indices and Individual Stock
- Brent Crude Index and Keppel Corp

Insider Trading 
- price will surge or fall abit (before public news) before making a larger move (after news announcement)

Reversal to Bull
- Born on pessimism. Grow on skepticism. Mature on optimism. Die of Euphoria.

Reversal to Bear 
- Start with Greed. Followed by Confusion. Sold on Fear. End with Hopelessness.

Exit - How to take Profit

- Manage your profit - take the "body of a fish" (along the way) because if we don't know exactly how high or low the stock will go
