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.

美国业绩主导 动力欠奉

作者是 王冠一
美国上周拍卖840亿美元长债顺利完成,但要留意的是非直接竞投者的比率急降,意味外国央行对美债的兴趣正在滑落中,美国今年估计需要拍卖2.4万亿国债,较去年的2.1万亿多出1成,日后会否出现认购不足的尷尬情况,令人关注。




美国上周三家公布业绩的大企业中,除了打头阵的美铝表现差强人意外,周五压轴的英特尔和摩根大通均见盈利急升,但美股於尾市反而急挫,道指整周计仍要微跌8点,纳指和标普500亦分别下跌1.26%和0.78%,后者在金融股领跌下,十大板块更全线录得跌幅,乃去年11月27日以来所仅见。实际上,美股近期颇為阴阳怪气,即使经济数据表现欠佳,但美股往往先跌后回升,於尾市最后一刻收复失地。前周五就业报告教人失望,道指最后30分鐘反弹40点子而倒升收市,是最佳例子,上周三零售销售数据下跌0.3%,远逊预期的上升0.5%,亦出现同一情况,可见长时间指有「无形之手」托市,并无言过其实。

英特尔盈利增加10倍,又发出盈喜,仍难逃一跌,是趁好消息出货,而摩通多赚4倍又要下跌,则是「魔鬼在细节中」的范例。摩通业绩盈利狂增,与去年同期业绩惨淡有关,但整体收入逊预期,消费者信贷更录得亏蚀,尤其按揭业务的拨备大增,除了一些已包装成為证券的按揭或需以原价回购外,亦反映楼市前景仍不乐观。

市场早已预期金融股去年第4季盈利会大增,原因是08年底雷曼爆煲,令金融股拨备大增,盈利重创。但无论如何,本周美国股市仍将由业绩主导,差不多所有主要银行均会在本周派成绩表,周二有花旗,周三有美银、大摩、富国、梅隆及道富等,周四则有高盛、美国运通、US Bancorp等,相信其影响会盖过数量不多的经济数据。

美股道指升越10700的15个月高点后回软,上升动力明显不足,能否藉着金融股业绩强劲而更上层楼,本周可见真章。冠一个人的看法是,无论港股或美股,均有高处不胜寒感觉,此所以冠一不断劝人在22000以上要逐步减持港股,即使上周曾逼近22800,亦不為所动。
