Hello World…

Welcome to investlah.wordpress.com. The idea of starting this blog is partially inspired by Dr. Alexander Elder, who encourages trader to keep journal and partially by investlah.com, which has too much crap inside, one goes in not to get idea but to get entertained.

My goal of this blog is simple. Just like any other Malaysian Investment Blog out there, this blog will be my reference point for my trading’s adventure. In this blog:-

1. I will publish my idea and justification based on either Technical Analysis (TA) or Fundamental Analysis (FA). I am grown as a Fundamentalist and just recently starting to use to Chart for my entry, exit and cut loss point. I don’t believe any school of thought is more superior than another. TA and FA are equally important in trading.

2. I will keep a record of my real trading. At the same time, as much as I can I will  put in my justification just as Point 1.

3. I will also keep a record of some investment blogs which I deem important and influential, at least, in the Malaysia’s stock market. Retail investors are as important as institutional investors. If I am not mistaken, the breakdown of trading volume/value are 50:50. Which means, retail investors have as much moving power as the institutional investors. As a retail investors/traders, we may not be able to get the trade flow of the fund manager, but we can get the trade flow from the retail investors. That itself, constitute 50% of the trading activities in Bursa Malaysia. Coupled with technical/fundamental analysis… chances are we are very likely to beat the Institutional Investors…

4. And lastly, I will write/post whichever topic I think will interest myself and my readers (in the future). Chances are I am going to talk about sex most of the time. There is a close link between sex and stock trading. Both are driven by adrenaline rush. There are no other living things in this world other than dolphin and human that treat sex as a game without the purpose of breeding. I believe it is all because of a kind of hormone called adrenaline. Human is so irrational if you think about it. What is for breeding, we can take it as a game. That explain why stock market is so irrational. Again all because of ADRENALINE RUSH. We allow hormone take control of our decision making. Well, it is because market is irrational, we can make money from the market. That is the beauty of stock market. Thanks to Adrenaline…

Well that’s all for my first entry. Let me think how should I intro myself next…
