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:数据强劲 经济翻身?

虽然猪流感疫症迅速扩散的阴霾笼罩,又有报道指美银与花旗两大银行均未能通过压力测试,令市场对银行资本不足的恐惧再度浮现,但美股周二只是好淡争持,最终三大指数均微跌不足10点,除了受国际商业机器(IBM)增派一成股息和宣布回购股份的消息提振外,主要是当晚公布的数据表现远胜预期,令投资者憧景美国经济有望见底。

是晚公布的数据,包括4月消费者信心由26.9急升至39.2,以及追踪20大城市楼价的Case/Shiller指数於2月仅下跌2.2%,未有再创新高跌幅,按年跌幅亦由1月的19%下滑至18.6%,中止了过去16个月连创新高的势头,令投资者相信楼市很快可以见底。

消费者信心上升13.2点,乃同一调查32年歷史所录得的第四大单月升幅,但只是自2月谷底25.3和3月次低纪录26.9回扬,预期指数更由30.2劲弹至49.5,乃2003年巴格达战事以来的最大升幅。不过这种急跌后强力反弹属正常现象,是否反映信心已回复,却大有可商榷之处。

消费者信心得以大幅反弹,冠一相信与股市表现有关。美股於3月9日见底后,连升6周,而纳指的升浪更已7周,至今仍未断缆,所產生的财富效应,对处於谷底的消费者信心无疑是一支强心针。由於美国劳工市场仍在不断恶化中,不少分析家均认同现时的8.5%失业率离顶仍远,很难想象失业率不升至双位数字,故消费者信心仍有机会掉头回落。

至於楼价2月楼价较1月下跌2.2%,较去年同期下跌18.6%,相比起1月按月下跌2.8%的纪录和按年下跌19%,无疑跌幅是有所放缓,却非止跌回升。以此作為楼市见底的证据,又是否有点以偏盖全?当然,整体楼价已较06年中高峰期调整了30.7%,有7个城市的调整幅度更超过四成,再下跌的空间料已不多,但在衰退未结束,就业市场又未稳定前,楼价最多亦只会呈「L」型或「U」型走势,距离反弹之期仍然遥远。

楼价不回升,意味眾多负资產业主难以脱苦海,亦无法透过加按或转按去套现消费。若股市回落,又会打击消费者的信心,在信贷紧絀和储蓄率持续上升的经济环境下,佔去美国產值近七成的内需不易有真正起色,市场对经济前景趋於乐观的看法会否过於一厢情愿,正好考考大家的智慧。
