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.

<转>会议纪录 内有乾坤

作者:王 冠 一
联储局刚发表的上月会议纪录,透露了一些会后声明没有的内容。较值得注意的,是有部份与会成员提出了对楼市可能恢复下沉的忧虑,建议在有需要时恢复购买按揭抵押证券,甚至在政策上加强刺激的力度。

表面上,联储局上月发布的会后声明与之前的没有多大分别,除了维持息率於0-0.25厘不变外,购买1.25亿按揭抵押证券及1750亿由半官方房贷机构发行的代理债,亦会如期在2010年3月底结束。较特别的只是在结尾时加上了一段,称随着金融市场的功能逐渐回复,一些应急的临时放水措施,会按照去年6月25日公布的退市时间表收回,最早的是与其他央行商讨於2月1日為临时货币掉期划上句号,最迟的是新发行於6月30日才到期,以商房為抵押品的定期按揭抵押证券借贷工具(Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, TALF) 。

声明道出了经济最可能出现的结果,包括增长步伐会缓慢、通胀持续低迷,以及职位增长仍会呆滞等。虽然上月议息时不少数据均显示经济已大有起色,但仍不足以改变公开市场委员会成员对经济较审慎的看法。即使11月就业报告予人惊喜,他们仍称单一报告不足以证明劳动市场已经复苏,又指纵使调高未来两年经济增长的预测,步伐亦不足以令失业率显著回落。对於通胀,他们的看法亦是核心通胀未来两年仍会放缓,近期由能源价格推升的消费物价,只是暂时现象。

会议纪录显示,与会的鹰鸽两派曾有一番角力。鹰派中有1人极力主张,随着复苏动力渐见凝聚,联储局没有需要用尽1.4万亿回购资產的额度,甚至应该考虑减持部分己购买的MBS。其他人则担忧宽鬆政策加上政府為救市所製造的巨额财赤。

鸽派则提出,经济是靠政府和央行才得以回复增长,一旦失去支持,恐怕经济缺乏自我复原能力。尤其联储局停购按揭抵押证券,按揭息率势必回升,加上政府的置业税务优惠於明年届满,以及强制收楼和贱卖物业潮持续,楼市可[能重陷跌轨,故联储局应对恢复购买MBS持开放态度。

会后声明中有两段為日后政策留有后路的描述,先是「FOMC会因应经济前景及金融市场状况改变,评估购债的时间和数量」,以及「若有需要,联储局已作好改变计划準备,以支持金融稳定和经济增长」,很有可能是鸽派争取的成果。

美国政府正陷两难局面,若过早退市,恐怕会重演1937年出现双底衰退而变成大萧条的覆辙,要加码则会陷入1979年滞胀的旧路,一场大病用特效重药医治,是治标未治本。若处理不当,冠一所说的最坏时刻未至(the worst is yet to come),可能真的噩梦成真。
