Jesse Livermore have always claimed it best with his acronyms "the stock market always repeat itself because human behavior never change due to his emotion of fear and greed." and "the one that change is the name of the stock and the player."
Therefore, pattern of the stock is always the same and it always repeat itself in cycles.
Background:
1) Election happen every 5 years.
2) In 2013, I lost nearly everything in Perwaja (which i bought 600,000 lots at 90 sen, believing the tipster of someone, who repeated a thousand times that perwaja should worth RM 9 due to the iron mines and high speed rail link (HSL) coming soon. But, he himself, buy nothing at the exorbitant price. He buys when the price settle at 60 sen. So, i loss a fortune and recently, perwaja delisted. A sad story, that's why the acronym "trust no one" and "being responsible for one's own action, is a must in the stock market."
3) Jesse Livermore also lost a million trusting Thomas Percy the "cotton expert" of his time. This is because the expert might be right about their facts but thousands of factors make the equations for the actions of stocks and no one have the crystal ball - our guess is as good as the expert, to be honest.
4) This is my "half-million" blunder of trusting the experts - Fxxx.
5) However, still in 2012 and election approaching in 2013 and i am heavily in debt to the tune of RM 100,000 and i have asset of only Rm 150,000 left.
6) So, i did another crazy thing, i bet all, i have. I make it, "its now or never"....either "heaven or earth." After saddling myself again with debt and nothing else and i have really nothing as real assets but the duty to pay both my school fees and my car. In fact, every one deserted me included my friends and relatives except my father and mother and god.
7) So, i rollover the remaining assets i have and bet heavily on "warrant" - "engtex-wa, encorp-wa, mitra-wa" and a couple others at around 10 sen each....in total i have maybe 1 million warrant that expire in 2014 and above. So, i wait for 1 year, daily, doing nothing, just wait and live a very merge life in the university cause every penny counts when you are poor and everyone deserted you.
8) Then BN win. Thank god. Most of my warrant are 8 bagger and above. I make back 4 times all that i have lost. Thanks to my patience and my believe in the mechanism the stock market works. The truth is that playing warrant is suicidal if you dunno how. Please see mitra-wa, engtex-wa and encorp-wa as proof.
9)It might be great to hear someone make a killing in the stock market but ask him about his losses and he will be quiet. Seldom there will be great man without failure. Napolean Hill always say it best "Success make a great man, but teacher of success is failure." Nevertheless, i did have my losses, when i listen to the so call expert to the tune of half a million.
Scenario Analysis:
Election coming soon again by 2018. So, the pattern will repeat itself. The only different this time is the different type of stock and the market player. Beware, this time might not be warrant yeah!!!.
So, there are 4 possible outcome of an election.
1) BN wins - all goverment stock limit up, like in 2003, the index up nearly 100 points in a day.
2) BN lose more state seats (>5) - all government stock limit down, like in 2008, index down nearly 100 points in a day and equine drop from RM 5 to RM 0.50 in a day. But, Pakatan affiliated counter will limit up.
3) Hanging government - All stock will drop until a Coaliation government is form and the ringgit will be depreciating a lot (This happen in New Zealand recently - a hanging government). Fortunately, we are a peaceful country and a member of United Nation (UN), so all these will be settle in a month and the stock market would rebounded, the drop would be a buying opportunities.
4) Pakatan win - Pakatan affiliated counter will limit up, BN cronies counter will limit down. United Nation (UN) will help to ensure election is fair and square and there will be a new tomorrow and hope for corporate Malaysia.
Comments:
Therefore, there will be a great bull after GE 14, but we must be able to overcome "short term pain and long term gain." with the assumptions that there is no war in the world and "hard-landing" in US.
"Fate favor those who are prepared."
