Investing is an art and highly emotional and subjective.

When buying stocks, if your buying decisions are based on"insiders' information or rumours" and not sound analysis, then you are gambling. Many investors enter the market when stocks prices are high (lacking of confidence to enter beforehand when prices were low). Once the stocks market crash, they tend to sell out their shares out of fear and pessimism, swearing to "chop off their fingers" and never enter the stocks market again. If such situation happens, all their previous gains may be wiped out and suffered a loss.

Investing is an art and highly emotional and subjective. Subjectivity is largely controlled by our emotions. There are times when we are optimistic or pessimistic. If we are unable to control our emotional weakness, we are unlikely to become successful investors.

To be successful, you must first understand yourself, in particular your emotions and the degree of pressure you can tolerate.

The investors should also analyse the country's economic prospects together with the earnings outlook of the major listed companies.

It is imperative that you like Mathematics as the sound mathematical knowledge plays a key role in investment.

王冠一-压力测试 银行分级

本周有约四分一的标普500成分股公布业绩,首季平均盈利会否一如预期般录得约35%倒退,是影响美股本周走势的重要因素之一。市场另一焦点,毫无疑问会落在政府即将公布的压力测试结果──到底会令部分银行现形,抑或得啖笑全部19家银行均顺利过关,备受关注。

据报道,政府会在本周五公布压力测试的方法细节,但详细报告则会延至5月4日才发表。虽然压力测试在数周前已经完成,但奥巴马政府刻意推迟至银行业绩期后才公布结果,避免金融市场出现震盪。不过,部分银行已有意无意地向外暗示自己没有问题,例如高盛便高调地表明会尽快偿还政府的100亿美元贷款,更公布了配售新股集资50亿的详情。

多家银行高调表示要尽快归还TARP欠款,但《金融时报》周日引述一名政府高级官员表示,财政健全的银行即使有意归还欠款,亦要待通过有关行动符合国家利益的测试后,才会获批。美国政府已列出三大先决条件,包括要确保金融体系稳定;不製造更多去槓杆化的诱因,以免衰退深化,以及确保金融体系有足够资金提供信贷支持经济复苏。

该名官员表示,前财长保尔森当初要所有银行一视同仁的决定是正确的,现时却已是适当时候把银行分类,鼓励健全的银行自行筹集资金,政府则把资源集中支持弱势银行。市场关注政府如何公布压力测试结果,是简单地公佈一个概括的具体数字,抑或巨细无遗地为接受测试的银行逐一验身?

无论如何,当压力测试结果出笼后,银行两级制便会形成,有能力偿还TARP欠款的银行纵使不大擂大鼓,暂时无法还款的银行亦难免被标籤。政府要做的,是如何避免市场波动情况失控。虽然政府已表明会给予半年时间,让资本水平被评定为「不足」的银行自行在私人市场集资,但有银行家已指出:「被压力测试评定需要集资的银行,毋须6个月时间,只需要6分钟要求政府及早收归国有。」

另外,随着失业率显着恶化,不少人质疑压力测试的准则是否仍然合用。根据所釐定的两种情况,即使较恶劣假设下,失业率于今明两年亦不过上升至8.9%及10.3%,但现时失业率已火速飙升至8.5%,趋势若持续,今年内极可能见双位数字。毋怪乎着名学者鲁宾尼在其网志中表示,实际情况已较最劣情况更坏,压力测试已失去意义。
