Getting it right

Investments is about forecasting, the more accurate one forecast the better one returns.

Investments need much hardwork, research & reading widely. And getting the cycle right.

Understand the direction of the market is important.

It took year of collecting data, learning from mistakes and reading those top investors methods.

Finally develop own methods.

Many like to ask for tips, which they thought stocks is just like gambling, just like lotteries.

They might try to contra it hoping like lotteries, they might strike.

Investing is not  gambling.

It is time consuming collect data and analyzing lots of data hoping to find some gems in it.

Going to AGM, EGM & SGM  asking questions and discussing with the Executive Chairman, Managing Directors, Presidents and CEO of the listed companies.

Many told me, which they thought stock is like gambling, I told them stock is not gambling.

Some don't believe. Yes they might heard many got burned, cause 90 percents of them lost money in stocks, when they don't do research on what they are buying and listening to tips only. 

Many getting into it and don't  what they are investing, they heard it is good and were recommended by somebody.

Public listed Companies' Annual General Meetings and Extraordinary General Meetings

Went to AGM/EGM meetings, got to know numerous Executive Chairman, CEO, Managing Director & Presidents of the organisations. When I went to AGM meeting I usually stay longer after the AGM ends, so that I can ask more questions about the health of the listed companies and learn one or two tricks about doing business.

Sometimes we got difficulties to understand what we read in the Annual Reports so we can find out from the CEO, which can give us more through views of the futures of the company.

We may able to give some suggestions or discuss some ideas with the senior managements to turn the companies around and able to  understand better about the future directions of the companies.

We can learn a lot about the businesses by speaking to the out senior staff, and learned which was not written on the annual reports. There usually some difference when we talk to the senior staff and the annual reports

Some will tell new and better shareholders are coming in or who are their new clients etc.

Of course going to outlying areas to find the office is not easy but it worth the effort.

Talking to the MD or CEO is different from what we read as some of the news we read maybe obsoleted, which might be prepared few months ago.
