APT

What to buy vs When to buy ?Many traders get too entrenched in spending hours after hours pouring over the net and attending courses to discover the holy grail of knowing when to buy a stock/index/commodity/ETF/currency/etc. However, what's neglected is what to buy is just as important if not MORE. Why did I say so ? Now, depending on where you are, you are probably familiar with your local stock index, ASX - Australia, SPX500/DJIA/Nasdaq ~ US, KLSE~Malaysia, STI~Singapore, etc. So do you invest in your local index or choose a local stock to buy ? That depends on your investing objectives. I would invest both for the following reasons - STI - It contains a basket of 20 plus stocks which if I were to buy them individually would be too costly even for fractional shares. So, I would still invest it for long term as it offers a lower risk, stability and exposure/diversification Individual stocks - this is where I can get picky because there are hundreds of them that one can choose from. My selection is based on trends, consumer behaviour , resilience to economy, etc. For example, I have some exposure in Industrial Reit, AIMS as I like the stable dividend growth and it is less affected by the current pandemic. On a global level, the game gets more exciting. Many followers know I am a big fan of the China growth story and have vested interest in China A50 , Tencent , Pinduoduo among many others. I expect the Covid-19 pandemic to be resolved by 2021 Q2 or earlier as we are now in the phase of vaccine production (article here , here , here ) Hopefully, once this wave is contained, we can start to identify those sectors that are badly affected during the Covid-19 pandemic to return to its glory days. Some sectors that are in my watch list includes but not limited to hospitality, retail (some over lapping as online retail like Alibaba, Amazon,etc are already included), transportation, construction (government worldwide will be investing heavily on infrastructure to help its economy). Healthcare will take on a different dimension as post -prevention will still remain a priority for many post Covid.

Did Afterpay just break it's uptrend?I noticed on the daily chart today for APT that it has potentially broken it's uptrend for the first time since March 23 this year. The breaking of the uptrend itself doesn't mean its the end of the world, but in my experience, it's certainly a warning flag. The closest daily support I can find (no a lot to work with) is around $65.80 (marked on chart) Breaking both the uptrend and the support will be a red flag for me. What do you think about APT? Are we seeing some resistance here, or merely a pause between rocket ships? Comment below! Trade Safe! Note - None of this is financial advice, merely an opinion and observation.

APT short Squeezed The trade that wrecked my profits for this year, I got squeezed on this one multiple times and ended up breaking my rules and fighting the trade. RULE #1 never break your RULES!!! I have given up fighting the trend it's to strong I would love to flip long but it doesn't meet my risk management rules, but this one will defiantly be on my watch list to short once the ASX breaks down. PS I have grit and I know I have an edge I just need to follow my plan and trade it, stick to the rules and protect my capital.

APT - mask maker good story/technicals - run to 20-40?!There are a lot of things I like: daily MACD turning up, strong uptrend line, strong support at the 9 level which has been several times tested. I could see runs to any of the levels I have put dashed lines on -- lets round to 22, 30, 40. High short interest and headline benefits in the name could help propel this one further. There are two things I don't like about this chart. First is that each of the more recent advances have been on thinner volume. Second is that each of these aggressive northward moves (way outside of bollinger bands 1 std dev from 20 ma) have been met with aggressive selling. I have traded this a few times in the past (currently long Jul 10 calls) and saw it wake up today again on the news with CA requiring masks. What other states are going to follow? What do you think?
