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》尔虞我诈 立心不良

王冠一

欧盟峰会举行在即,市场憧憬会有救希腊的方案出台,欧元走势亦告转稳。欧洲多国财长于峰会举行前,已透过多方电话会议(conference call)商讨有关事宜,市场传言早前一直认为希腊应自行解决财政问题的德国,取态来一个180度转变,愿意牵头推动欧盟拯救入危机的希腊,发展颇为戏剧性。



有人指德国肯出手,主要是为了保障国内银行的利益,但细看国际清算银行的数据,截至去年第3季,德国银行向希腊放贷总额为430亿美元,数目虽不小,但仍远远不及法国银行业向希腊放贷的750亿。因此,另一个说法指德国是希望及早设立防火牆,避免希腊财政问题演变成为欧洲问题,似乎较为可信。

欧盟峰会将如何支援希腊,颇引人入胜,市场现时传出的可行方法包括由欧洲财政较健全的国家向希腊等财困国家提供信贷担保、直接向希腊提供贷款援助、承诺向希腊购买主权债券,又或者把个案转介国基会提供协助。

欧盟内部对应否直接出手救希腊,存在了分歧,欧盟27国中,欧元区成员国只有16个,一些非欧元区成员国如英国和瑞典等皆不想捲入这趟浑水,主张应该由国基会提供支援,因为国基会在这方面有足够的专业经验,亦拥有充沛的资源。最大的好处是,由国基会出手,欧盟其他国家便毋须因为要替希腊作信贷担保,风险提升而导致孳息上升,增加融资成本。

但其他国家不乏反对声音,认为希腊财困问题是欧洲自家事,若要国基会介入,会有失面子。而从国基会昔日向陷入财政危机国家提供援助的纪录看,国基会往往会提出苛刻的救助条件,较希腊自行提出的削赤方案更加难以令国民接受。另外,国基会是谁在幕后控制,大家心知肚明,故不希望给予美国机会乘虚而入,插手欧洲内部事务。

根据巴克莱资产提供的资料,美国金融机构在希腊的放贷数量仅180亿美元,远低于德法两国,即使计入欧猪四国其他三个国家,美国十大银行的放贷合共亦只是1810亿美元,包括向爱尔兰放货860亿和向西班牙放贷680亿,向葡萄牙放货更只有90亿,佔其向国货款组合的比重仅5%,美国会否真心襄助,亦颇成疑问。

事实上,欧猪四国的危机有否遭夸大,实在令人怀疑。纽约大学教授鲁宾尼及基金大鳄索罗斯均相信希腊债务问题最终可以解决,希腊可继续维持欧元区成员国的身分,评级机构穆迪亦认为葡萄牙及西班牙的债务问题不应与希腊相提并论,至现时为止亦没有需要支援或拯救的迫切性。不过,欧洲主权债务问题并非短期内可望决,有阴谋论者指问题曝光,是有心人刻意暴露欧洲的弱点,削弱欧元的影响力,以保住美元作为储备货币的王者地位,信焉?
