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: 分析道指換馬波動

道指換馬 去舊迎新

美國道瓊斯工業平均指數宣布換馬,由下周一開始,旅行者(Travelers)和思科(Cisco)將會加入成為新的成分股,取代遭剔除的花旗集團和通用汽車。有關替換其實並不令人奇怪,早於3月6日冠一已以「明日黃花、股價雙殘」為題,點出了市場對保留這兩隻股價低於5美元股份,令道指成份股的代表性變得名不副實的質疑。

花旗股價於3月5日曾跌至0.97美元,當時通用汽車的股價報2.72美元,如今道指自低位反彈逾35%,兩者股價互易,通用汽車周一收報0.75美元,花旗則反彈至3.69美元收市,但同樣身處低於5美元的深切治療部,被撤換屬理所當然。反而當時另外三隻股價同樣低於5美元的股隻,美鋁回升至9.83美元,仍未脫危險期,但美銀及通用電氣則分別反彈至11.21和13.86美元,總算已被移往普通病房繼續進行觀察。

以思科取代通用汽車,相信市場不會有異議,因為思科對市場的影響力早已蓋過通用汽車,在今日的科技年代,思科此家全球最大網絡設備生產商,亦好應該在道指成分股中佔一席位,更何況美國經濟風雨飄搖之際,思科去年仍錄得逾80億盈利,名列美國20大最賺錢企業榜上。令人欷歔的反而是美國過往多次衰退皆由製造業主導復蘇,汽車製造業更是功不可沒,但通用汽車卻在今次衰退中與克萊斯勒齊齊走上破產末路,更失落了道指成份股的崇高地位。

花旗被旅行者取代,亦是令人傷感。不過十年前,花旗銀行與Travelers合併,打造了一家銀行超市,規模更長居全球首位。其後Travelers於2002年脫離母公司花旗,專注於保險業務,成就居然超越業務放眼世界的金融超市。更諷刺的是花旗為了與保險劃清界線,於前年金融風暴前把傘子標誌回售給Travelers,後者有大傘好遮蔭,自己卻在金融海中險告沒頂,最終失去坐擁12年的成份股地位。

成份股被剔出後獲欽點重新加入,過往不乏例子,雪佛龍於90年代被剔出,去年再獲青睞,1896年道指始創12成份股中現時碩果僅存的通用電氣,期間更曾三出三進。當然,通用汽車申請破產保護改組後規模大減,再獲垂青機會不大,反而花旗集團仍有望東山再起。問題是,銀行業前景雖比汽車製造業稍佳,要重建昔日營運模式,賺取厚利,亦非易事。
