rizika investuojant i akcijas

2008-06-13T22:43:00.000-07:00

Bendrovės akcijų turintieji yra bendrovės akcininkai ir jų akcijos atspindi savininko teises.
Akcijos yra rizikingesnė VP nei obligacijos ar investiciniai fondai.
Akcininkas, priešingai negu obligacijų turėtojas, nežino kiek pajamų jis gaus iš akcijų. Bendrovei sėkmingai dirbant, akcininkas gali tik tikėtis gauti didelius dividendus ir taip uždirbti daugiau, negu duoda obligacijų palūkanos. Tačiau būna metų, kai bendrovės dirba nuostolingai, ir dividendai akcininkams visai nemokami, taip pat patys akcininkai susirinkime gali nuspręsti nemokėti dividendų, o pelną panaudoti kitiems tikslams.
Pajamos iš kapitalo prieaugio taip pat negarantuotos – antrinėje rinkoje akcijų kainos gali labai svyruoti, taigi yra didelė rizika, kad kaip tik tuo metu, kai norėsite akcijas parduoti, jų kaina gali būt kritusi.
Su akcijomis susijusios rizikos:
1. Kurso pokyčio rizika – rizika, jog VP rinkos kursas pasikeis neigiama kryptimi ir Jūsų investicija taps nuostolinga.
2. Kapitalo rizika - kad investavę didelę dalį savo lėšų, jų nebeatgausite arba atgausite, tačiau ne visą sumą. Ši rizika, nepriklauso nuo emitento finansinės padėties.
3. Infliacijos rizika - perkamosios galios mažėjimo rizika. Infliacijos sąlygomis kyla įvairių vartojimo prekių ir paslaugų kainos, o tai mažina pinigų perkamąją galią, vadinasi, už tą pačią pinigų sumą galima nusipirkti vis mažiau prekių. Šią riziką labai dažnai pamirštame, nors kaip tik ji, daro didžiausią žalą neinvestuotoms lėšoms arba tuo atveju, jei pasirinktos investicijos pelningumas yra mažesnis nei infliacija, pavyzdžiui, tada, kai Jūsų nusipirktų obligacijų metinis pajamingumas mažesnis už metinį infliacijos lygį. Infliacijos poveikį turimoms lėšoms galite įvertinti skaičiuokle.
4. Investavimo laiko pasirinkimo rizika - sunku nepritarti, kad laikas finansiniame pasaulyje iš tiesų yra pinigai. Net jei pasirinkote investuoti į žinomą ir perspektyvią įmonę, gali atsitikti, kad Jūsų laukiama grąža bus mažesnė nei tikėjotės vien dėl to, kad pasirinkote netinkamą laiką ateiti į rinką arba iš jos pasitraukti.
5. Pasirinkimo rizika - net jei visi finansiniai rodikliai byloja apie geras pasirinktos pramonės šakos plėtros galimybes ir konkrečios įmonės perspektyvas, visuomet išlieka tikimybė, kad sprendimas investuoti į tos įmonės akcijas po kurio laiko pasirodys nevykęs arba nepateisins Jūsų lūkesčių.
6. Rinkos rizika - rizika susijusi su rinkos veiksniais, kurie gali nulemti Jūsų investicijos vertės sumažėjimą. Tokie veiksniai – tai nacionalinės valiutos kurso nestabilumas, akcijų kainos sumažėjimas, palūkanų normos nestabilumas, prekių kainų mažėjimas (pvz., metalo ar naftos). Ši rizika, kaip ir anksčiau minėta kapitalo rizika, nėra tiesiogiai susijusi su emitentu, ji daugiau priklauso nuo makroekonominių rodiklių. Pavyzdžiui, priklausomai nuo rinkoje esamos paklausos vertybinių popierių kainos gali tiek kilti, tiek kristi: jei paklausa mažėja, vertybinius popierius yra sunkiau parduoti ir jų kaina krinta. Reikėtų žinoti, kad akcijų rinkai būdingi didesni svyravimai nei obligacijų.
7. . Likvidumo rizika - investicines lėšas ne visada galėsite atsiimti vos jų prireikus. Tai lemia akcijų likvidumas. Investavę pinigus į nelikvidžią rinką, norimu laiku galite nerasti pirkėjo arba gali tekti akcijas parduoti už mažesnę kainą nei norėtumėte. Taigi prieš investuodami susipažinkite su rinka, pasitikrinkite, kokia jos vidutinė dienos apyvarta, kiek sandorių sudaroma.
8. Kredito rizika - investuotojas dalį savo pinigų ar net visus gali prarasti dėl emitento finansinės nesėkmės. Ypač gerai tai atspindi skolos vertybinių popierių rinka. Vyriausybės leidžiami skolos vertybiniai popieriai dažniausiai laikomi saugiais, lyginant su bendrovių leidžiamomis obligacijomis, kadangi beveik neįmanoma, kad valstybė bankrutuotų ir nebegalėtų grąžinti skolos. Kredito rizika didėja investuojant į įmonės ilgo laikotarpio obligacijas, kadangi sunku nuspėti kokia įmonės padėtis bus po 10 ar 20 metų, ar sugebės ji grąžinti skolą. Privilegijuotosios akcijos laikomos saugesnėmis už paprastas vardines akcijas.
9. Valiutos rizika - investuodami į kitos šalies vertybinius popierius, turėtumėte atsižvelgti ir į valiutos kursą. Jei tos šalies valiutos kursas yra nestabilus arba krentantis, tai gali suryti visą Jūsų investicijų grąžą. Taigi, stebėdami užsienio rinkos, kurioje investuojate, akcijų kainas, nepamirškite ir valiutų kurso.
10. Komunikacijų tinklų ir įrenginių rizika. Su informacinių technologijų įranga, ryšių tinklais, kompiuterinių programų naudojimų bei duomenų apsauga susijusi rizika, dėl kurios atsiranda tikimybė, kad laikinai nebus galimybės atlikti operacijų norimu laiku bei sąlygomis

Vėl lietuviškai

2008-05-07T23:12:00.000-07:00

Po kurio laiko galima grįžti ir į lietuvių kalbą šiame interneto kampelyje.
Pastarąjį pusmetį investicijų bumas atvėso, vieni nuostolius fiksavo, kiti ne, treti, gudriausieji ir be jų išsisuko. Investuotojų įkarštis gerokai priblėso... o kol buvo karšta, internete daug informacijos ir lietuvių kalba atsirado, puslapėlių prisikūrė, į kuriuos nuorodas iš čia galėsiu įdėti ir ką nors pakomentuoti :)

new buys

2007-10-08T01:03:00.000-07:00

well, getting into stock market deeper and deeper. taking 3 stocks with minimum amount in lithuanian market, and the friend bought 2 in american. i feel more confidence here, in national market. easier to analyse and tell what is good stock for now. all the other markets still scare me. will see how he manages with that. with good experience maybe will go further.

2007-10-03T03:21:00.000-07:00

trying to come back with both - investing and writing. still have some part in frankfurt borse with MGV,mobile gaming solutions and their up and down... now trying to have a look at funds,as a client of hansa group, will take some eastern europe real estate stock and eastern europe stock funds.

lithuanian market

2007-06-26T06:04:00.000-07:00

was listening to the radio news on today's trade in the market. would like to try to buy something. need time to read on the latest trends.

back back back again, international trade, frankfurt

2007-06-26T05:56:00.000-07:00

really bad start again, being in the market. the coworker suggested the stock - MOBILE GAMING SOLUTIONS PLC A0MKW8 at frankfurt borse - it should have rose for a few times (chance for mistake), left all the works (first mistake), bought for all the money (second mistake) and waited for the coming news. the news came, but not so good. so, left behind, now the price goes lower, comes back to 80cents and then again goes lower. too many mistakes, and big loss. still waiting, but not sure what to do.
the company works with mobile gaming, very new company at the market - entered and started trading a month. the profit should grow, or at least we believe in that.
so, never trust the opinions fully, never invest all your money in one position and always do the research.

good news when you are outside..

2006-12-01T05:34:00.000-08:00

have no stocks at the moment, and no trades. and to tell the truth it is quite difficult to hear on the news that the trend is moving up, and the prices are going up. ..

no interest in trading

2006-11-27T06:47:00.000-08:00

having holidays. the market was up, now seems to be flat. of course, i mean, lithuanian stock market, part of omx. sometimes listen to daytrade review on the radio and now concluding, that some certain phrases repeat all the time, for example - market is flat, because companies do not list any news :)

hiding under investing

2006-10-19T01:27:00.000-07:00

one man said we are hiding under investing to buy things. as it is a way of saving for some time and then - total sold out. so, one more time the same... i am not sure about the time i have chosen, the market is still on its highs, the friday i sold was the second day of down. was afraid of getting too low. and here you are.. well, people are waiting for the money to get back from us.. and sad - no money to invest, and losing interest of news reading. maybe need some vacation? :)

new waves and good trends

2006-09-26T07:14:00.000-07:00

wow, once more the same - have not written for ages. the summer was quite tough, although the market started showing better results. have bought some real estate, so again waiting for the market up to sell all the portfolio and give the money back.

so, sold half a few months ago, gave up.. had many losses, but decided to fix them. too late, every stock had more than 7percent. anyway.. now having some plus. the profit results for third quarter are on the way, maybe the market will go up for more higher..

the price up limit

2006-08-04T08:27:00.000-07:00

the next thing i am thinking tody - it is good to have price limit - not to aim for the best profit, but to be content with 5-10percent. reach the and sell. becaus now - have been waiting for ?? - good question for what.. was just dreaming and having losses and every stock profit. money came and went away, like the wave...

impotance of trading rules

2006-08-04T08:17:00.000-07:00

the is one rule - SELL OFF WHEN LOSSES REACH MINUS 7-8 PERCENT OF THE STOCK. well, forgot this. and no doubt this will not happen in the future. the lesson is huge. yesterday and today selling the oil stocks. stopped believing in that. high risk and so much uncertainty, have no wish to look after them.
and, if i have sold everything with minus seven, no woould have some profit for many stocks, instead of a year over loss..

new account

2006-05-04T01:51:00.000-07:00

today opened the third stock trading account. well, i am quite satisfied with the first i have, but in order to buy some funds, and different funds - available at different brokers - you need different accounts. this one - the best bank in lithuania - according to the last research.

irc talks

2006-05-02T01:06:00.000-07:00

from www.spekuliantai.lt i sometimes reach online talks about omx vse market and online trading. the last weeks can not reach via irc and my trilian software, and today even internet connection does work..

2006-05-02T01:03:00.000-07:00

tried to buy last week some stocks, although today see that was not a very good idea. the market goes down, as it does the last year.. should wait a few weeks to see the more clear situation. and afraid that after a few weeks will have so big minuses everywhere. well, the last year the end of april was down also. because of dividend payment.
read, that the bull market lasts 2-3 years. and what about bear? still a few months left until the year celebration...

too late

2006-04-27T04:05:00.000-07:00

because of this always present correction and market down decided to become more aggresive in my bying selling. was going today to buy two more stocks - lifosa - they are in their lows - the panic in this position. yesterday wanted to buy some ljl1l - ship company and asked too low price - did not get - today they are up a litle bit. so, today - came too late - the market closed and did not manage to make my plans..

the market correction still present

2006-04-26T04:24:00.000-07:00

the oil is down for more ten percent during last days. and my portfolio has now minus! after a year of holding and some additional byings. so, thinking that after the wave of bulls comes, will sell almost everything and move to funds. will stay in the stock market with around 1200 euro and do some speculations time from time. no gain from keeping there.

buy and keep, time to sell

2006-04-21T06:44:00.000-07:00

have a great example what costs buy and keep. and changing the strategies. last year thought will buy and not sell. bought the stock a few times, so the total price increase. averaging. had almost 70 percent plus during it's highest points. now - this year - the results does not seem so good and now having minus 30percent... the broker the other day said - it is not so important when to buy - the most important thing is to decide when to sell. missed the greatest chance...

ltk1l stock and dividends

2006-04-20T05:40:00.000-07:00

always do not what to do when the price falls down and porfolio shows minus and loss. bought some telecom ltl1l a month ago, yesterday was the last day to own in order to get the profit part - dividends. so, today everyone seems to be selling, almost minus 5 during the day. if to sell now - no sense why i bought. no profit at all. to wait? - what it the price falls far lower? ?

google finance and oil

2006-04-19T05:47:00.000-07:00

hate that situation with mazeikiu oil factory. going for years.... and not over.... well, the end is clear - russians will have it. for while - the first day bigger down in stock price. and the news comes there will be no dividends..

guess you heard about google and finance together :) here what they have for mazeikiu oil

Baltic market data

2006-04-18T02:51:00.000-07:00

Just recently found this link on omx site. Statistics data - Baltic ASCII data format. Data files prepared for Metastock software import.

trading trading

2006-04-12T06:01:00.000-07:00

so, welcome back. filled the tax papers for the last year - the profit sum was so big for us, that decided to leave "buy and hold" strategy, not to be investors, to remain speculators - as it is said in our language. more profitable. want to be long term investor, then buy fund units..

moods of correction

2006-03-07T12:15:00.000-08:00

now even the experts say that OMX VSE market has been staying in down correction for more than 5 months. and the prices are the same level as a year ago. good time to invest? portfolio seems ok, no buys or sells, around 10percent

no words....

2006-02-23T05:23:00.000-08:00

that is insane. the VSE stock market seems crazy. i regret holding all my stocks...

Biggest down for today:

DKR1L 3.57 -14.80%
ATK1L 0.19 -13.64%
KBL1L 6.00 -7.69%
NDL1L 352.00 -7.37%

ALL stocks went down. ALL.

pesimistic talks on VSE

2006-02-14T06:49:00.000-08:00

first voice: well, the market is going down, give the time to the market and it will start rising after a year or so.
second voice: after such a crisis, and with such forecasting, all traders will disappear.
(there are only 4000 active traders in VSE market now)

no news

2006-02-13T08:11:00.000-08:00

no good news in vse vilnius market. 6 up, 19 stocks down. index down more than half point, and my portfolio only 6percent. seems no need to look at the market everyday if i do not trade only hold.

stocks vs funds

2006-02-10T06:04:00.000-08:00

well, the investors and speculators that live much more deeper in the market than me, half a year ago started moving to various funds. talked with some friends yesterday, they like funds more than stocks, so made many arguments against stocks. the economy and the profit of the companies does not seem to grow in the same speed as a year or two ago. during the last eight month, my badly composed portfolio reached only 8 percent, and they say almost any of the funds had made more.. even up to 50percent. so, thinking about funds. the most safe should be funds froms the banks. have not got much information on them, cause always thought it is too difficult with funds. thinking abour seb bank funds.

evaluating for long

2006-02-08T09:18:00.000-08:00

last weekend told to new friends about this blog and my stock trading. and was surprised in their question and my answer: do you believe in all those companies? and i said - no, not in all. wow. that is at least weird - you buy stocks not believing in them? and i have pretty much - 13!! well, 5 companies make the 70-80 percent of portfolio.. so, the only thing I understand - time to RE-EVALUATE all the stocks and companies i have - regarding the results of year 2005 and expectations of the future. the economic situation during the last 6 months that i have these stock should have changed already.

stock market illusions

2006-02-06T03:17:00.000-08:00

or in other words - there is time for everything - time to buy and time to sell. It is quite interesting, and also a litle bit painful to see that in big part my view to stock market was illusioned. Looking at the list of VSEomx stocks, the prices most of them are LOWER than a year ago.... and a year ago i was thinking they will go up and up and up... the theory reading does help at that thinking - the personal experience neccesary for evidence.

stock market disaster

2006-02-02T07:05:00.000-08:00

well, the situation this week in VSE market - terrible disaster, index goes down a few points everyday and seems seeing myself as investor melts as the ice in spring under the hot sun... hate the situation and feel my stock holding for long grows into panic.. not ready to lose money.

one more wave down

2006-01-31T05:14:00.000-08:00

well, seems after the autumn correction, the VSE market has no strenght to go forward. the second wave for down is present. the last two day, from all the market only three stocks were up. the experts say - there is a lack of financial news and data, people are waiting for the year 2005 results. but, if you are waiting for good results, so why to sell? remember last year - the february started big down wave until june, if i am right. so, what this year will be? compared the prices - during the year, many stocks are lower than a year ago.. and why i was so optimistic about bying and holding?....

For those interested in VSE, Vilnius

2006-01-18T07:33:00.000-08:00

Lithuanian Junior Achievement together with newspaper "Business news" organises new invest game!! „My investition“ - the beginning of the game: 2006, 30th January; the end: 6th May. All trades will be virtual in VSE OMX market, at the website of LJA. So, register and try yourself. Sorry for those who does not understand lithuanian. may offer my translation services..

back for good

2006-01-12T06:44:00.001-08:00

came back for buying today. did not analyse a lot, the fundamental data of ukio bank, vse. bought a litle. decided that their price is flat for more than a few months. and bought some oil, for the rest of money, not much. there are news and thoughts about coming profit results, dividends, etc. and still, i believe that company is still not evaluated and still cheap stocks should go higher. well, they costed 13litas in summer, then relating to the long jukos process, felt to 9litas, now heading towards 10. it should cost at least 15 in my opinion and the last year dividends surprised me at their amount. so, looking forward for the best from there. on the whole, as one editor said. the market is losing its speed up, today a lot of went back in prices. will see what tomorrow brings.

a litle about Elliot Waves

2006-01-09T04:34:00.000-08:00

The Elliott Wave Principle is named for its discoverer, Ralph Nelson Elliott. Mr. Elliott completed his work on the Principle in the 1930s and 1940s. The main idea of this theory is - that the stock market is influenced by the crowd psychology and moves in waves. It is a detailed description of how groups of people behave - mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific and measurable patterns. Using Elliott waves is an exercise in probability. An Elliottician is someone who is able to identify the market structure and anticipate the most likely next move based on our position within the structure. By knowing the wave patterns, you’ll know what the market is likely to do next and (sometimes most importantly) what it will not do next. The stock market is always somewhere in the basic five-wave pattern at the largest degree of trend. And the principle may be applied in all time frames. Some of the largest wave patterns span hundreds of years, while some of the smallest span a few hours. Why I am writing this? It is fun to see how the OMXV index moves in waves. There were, a great down waves for the last few months, and soon it will be a month as it is starting the climbing up waves. (My portfolio is already over 10percent up). It was time to buy, do not be late!

Investment game

2005-12-13T04:24:00.000-08:00

Going to search the web for more investment games, but i like this site. Not only for nice design and bright colors:)
Not sure if it is possible to join now, the game started a month ago. It is SSE Riga investment game and dates back to 1997. Last year, people taking part in the game represented 12 countries - that is really a lot. The main target audience of the project is students and secondary school pupils. Much benefit in promoting investitions and giving more information on stock markets. What i liked on their page - there are weekly reviews of the stock markets for those countries: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Russia. Everything in English..

images

2005-11-16T05:29:00.000-08:00

no big news, no big ups or downs. no analysis and no need to have a diary :) .......

was thinking the other day about the two images the companies have. the first one - image in a stock market, when you know - this is good, this is really good for earning, and never buy this. and the next image - the real market, where products and services move. well, maybe i would not buy klaipedos baldai shares, but their furniture does not look bad. alytaus tekstile seems dangerous to me, but the gift linen i bought from them. good quality. it was interesting to see the differecenses.

the market down

2005-11-03T05:01:00.000-08:00

well, reached the point, when feeling bad before looking at the end of day data. afraid to see more minuses in such a down trend.
relieved - today up for a few percent...

shock in stock market

2005-10-28T00:48:00.000-07:00

watching the nice rise over the summer was good. and that nice down the last month i do not like at all. the sad thing is no time to watch the market during the day. and the decision to keep, not to sell. well, nice decision. a month ago my porfolio was bigger for one thousand euro...

nice down

2005-10-20T05:07:00.000-07:00

watching only the downs for the last few weeks. portfolio went to down from 38percent plus to 23. a lot, aches the heart watching. the main parts of it - lifosa and oil mazeikiai were going down. the good news - the last two days aiming for up. good news - there is some hope and better news in mazeikiai stock option with jukos. not sure about the end of it, the governemt is discussing the law of selling at the moment. to tell the truth, watching the price and earnings - i think it is still much undervaluated, and the price could go untill 20litas with no problem. the profit is so high... the taxes mazeikiai pay makes the lion part of domestic product in lithuania..
sometimes i think that really should change the title of blog "trading mistakes" or "do not trade like this". not going to tell about some sells and buys of last week. maybe some day later :)

diversify

2005-10-06T04:33:00.000-07:00

well, golden rule of diversification. never have one stock - have a few and minimise your risk.. about 30percent of portfolio have in mazeikiai oil, mnf1l, and when it moves up or down - that it is clearly seen in my portfolio. watching the day trades - at the moment minus 3percent today - ups, so much. in the long perspective of course it does not matter such switches. now, when there is so uncertainty about governement, bying and selling the mazeikiai big part option, should see moves of prices. of course, aiming for up. the sad thing is that now the market price is over 12litas, when they are going to sell for 7litas. that effects the traders i guess.

no luck

2005-09-28T03:22:00.000-07:00

well, broke my rule yesterday to keep - sold some stocks - and here you are.. sanitas and ljl today went up both for almost 5 percent. and lifosa, that i bought, going down... not too much worried - the daily ups and downs are normal. just a pitty.

crazy stocks

2005-09-27T04:16:00.000-07:00

really, i think it is crazy in the stock market. i know it is luck to be in such a market, when there are so big ups.. at my work, i have to work for two weeks to get the money my portfolio recieved today (well, my salary is not high). now i keep the strategy - buy and hold. but it is so difficult to hold the stocks when they do not move or go down, and see that others move towards the mountain pick.. so, sold my sanitas, half dvarcionys and the rest of ships, ljl1l, all with small losses... ups. and bought some more lifosa. did that yesterday. and a litle bit today. not so sure about today, maybe that was not so good decision.

bears and mother tongue

2005-09-19T06:36:00.000-07:00

read something about the start of bears rulling. the last few months had nice growth, will be difficult to see the profit going down. more then a half stocks in my portfolio did not changed the prices compare with friday trade. that should mean that the buyers are not so active, the sellers would like to dominate. that is interesting - that stocks of tse and rse - estonian and latvian market's had the greatest increases today and the last few days. need to find more info on them and the last part of income invest there. did not feel brave - it is easier to find information on companies in native language...

the stock - eight percent up

2005-09-14T05:04:00.000-07:00

wow, what a nice day, what a high... bought some oil mazeikiai at 10,25 in the morning. checked now - the end of day price - 11.10. wow. what a rapid growth of my portfolio, over 20 percent of it have oil.
all the rest - going down... even those that bought a few days ago, sanitas and dvarcioniu. not going to sell. for long..

no serious decision to buy

2005-09-13T13:54:00.000-07:00

the second day just looking around and not bying seriously. wanted the oil, mnaf. did not dear in the morning and had no time later. getting angry a litle bit. bought some sanitas. do not know why. maybe it is at the same level for a long time. and never had it. so, will try for a few months. and had no consultation wih technical analysis. was surprised a litle bit when a person from brokerage said they do not use technical analysis, just fundamental..

almost all up

2005-09-08T13:33:00.000-07:00

well, almost all stocks from portfolio went up today. makes the nice day more nice. the only stock, that i value the most - mnf1l went the opposite direction. well, still hoping the best from it. tomorrow will have to make a decision on bying something. now it is toooo late to think. and tomorrow everything will be in a hurry.

stocks for free?

2005-09-06T23:28:00.000-07:00

wow, not so bad. finally recieved the siauliu bank stocks, not much, 48 :) but, nice to see them in my portfolio. it was the way bank shared profit with the shareholders - gave some stocks from new emission.

still in market

2005-08-29T07:14:00.000-07:00

bought a few shares of apranga and alita. the first one was going up for a few days, tried - maybe will go for more:) now have minus 3 percent. it is good, that the sum was small. and bought alita. they do not have excellent results, but just feeling that it would be good to have some form them, so bought, also only a few. now have plus 3 percent. not much. interesting, have not heard any news from alita for a while.
the bad news for me - oil stocks go down, to buy last week was not good idea... well, as for long term, hope to wait for bulls here before christmas. would like the question of jukos stock selling to come sooner. so much uncertainty there..

bad trades, no lessons

2005-08-18T13:39:00.000-07:00

feelng dissapointed today. yesterday bought oil and sold one bank. today the oil went down, it was possible to get 10cents lower.. and sold the bank. reacted to the panic in the morning and sold. one more lesson not to stick to the crowd and not to change the rules of the game. have promissed myself hundred of times not to sell... and here you are again. do not learn from mistakes at all. so, in bad mood. and portfolio goes down.. looking to buy something else. technical analysis do not show anything clear. or maybe i am sleepy already.. good night

decision making

2005-08-16T14:08:00.000-07:00

it is late, dark outside. neigbours and family sleeping. myself thinking about tomorrow. should buy something. so, how do i help myself to make a desicion. first of all, read all the news about listing companies. i am subscribed to one of yahoogroups of local investors. there were over 100 unread news emails in my inbox during the last few days. next, trying to read any comments on forums, chat logs, etc. what were people talking about, what are other's buying and thinking about. should not always trust this source of information, but that it always useful. then, the third, i use my picture of companies. impression. every piece of news or information in some way change the impression and oppinion about stocks and companies. that is like aggregatted picture of all market and picking up a few candidates. hm, maybe should take more careful look on other baltics markets, like tse. still afraid, need more encouragement. so, thinking about some more oil. maybe some more lifosa. the next thing should be to download the end- of - day data and look at some charts and signals checking the selected stocks. but... too late and too sleepy... good night. will continue thinking in bed or tomorrow here:)

site to visit

2005-08-12T07:22:00.000-07:00

For those who are interested in the baltics (europe) stock market, especially lithuanian, want to offer one site. A site of lithuanian investors community. and a site i love and visit almost everyday. Almost everything is done in lithuanian language, although there is a forum for english speakers. So, visit 'spekuliantai'

golden portfolio times

2005-08-12T07:11:00.000-07:00

wow, crazy summer. golden times for my portfolio. have 6 stocks at the moment, and over 20percent plus. not so much to compare with the stocks up, bbut feeling ok. the last few months i was not selling, just bying. decided it is not worth to sell the stock, when i believe it will go up in a month or two.. and some people say that patience is virtue.. there was real bull market for bank stocks. from the new year one has been up for more then 4 times!! the sad thing is i bought a few bank stocks only last week. and the reputation of the bank is on question. still happy with litle plus, and hope it will not go down a lot.
to tell the truth starting worrying about the coming month. usually the summer is quit time, no trades. and here the opposite. maybe the autumn will bring deep long correction with big bears. today and vilse market saw the biggest increase have the stocks, that ussually have minor transactions and almost no volume. people say when the small fish come, it may be the end of bull market. time will show.
by the way, the last wrote about ships. sold half at the lowest price, but do not regret. the price seems to be flat, waiting for more news.

Bying after bad news

2005-07-28T05:25:00.000-07:00

well, was looking for a few days what to buy. husband suggested the 'ship' stocks. once came out with minus from them, tried to look more carefully at them. well...... in the morning the bads news come - the profit decreases because of high oil prices. what happened - started to think - the price goes down, it is a good stock, should try to buy. maybe should have been waited for a day or two to see the trend direction and the market reaction - now have over 2percent losses. hope untill christmas it will turn into plus...

Small-Cap "Is it time to sell stocks?"

2005-07-27T13:27:00.000-07:00

Some time ago i registered at The Motley Fool (rather strange name for trader's site)and since then they send me the promotional message "small cap growth". as i understand, their idea is to pick up the companies with small capitalization and big potential for growth. actually never read such kind of emails, call them spam and delete. this evening is different. looking for ideas what to buy, so decided to read. title - "Is It Time to Sell?". much writing about hidden gems, do not know what is this, never mind. there were a few goods things. the main thing - not to sell. never. the author says: "Consider this approach instead: Sell your stocks when you want to buy a house or furniture. Sell when you have too much in stocks and you want to buy some bonds, gold, or collectibles. Sell if you have too much in any one stock. But sell a stock, or the market, on valuation at you own peril.". interesting. there were a few examples that most of the stocks increased a few, even ten times in five years.... have time only untill christmas, but maybe should consider looking at cap numbers...

summer time

2005-07-14T02:26:00.000-07:00

have not written for ages. it is summer and have no time for sitting and analysing. just checking my porfolio sometimes. even do not read news - select them all in my inbox and check them as read. a few weeks ago everything was fine - plus 5percent, the last few days seems things getting worse - at the moment - 3,83percent.. trying to see what it means to be long term investor / trader. it is a pity to see up and down and think that if i sold, bought back, then i would have earned, etc.....

friend's experience in stock market

2005-06-28T06:32:00.000-07:00

remembered that know a man, called Peter, living in new york, who used to tell about his stocks. how every morning he listens to news, reads something in the net, looks at his stocks, buys or sells. wrote him an email to ask how he is doing with stocks now, after a few years. the answer was not very happy. "I have bought stocks and put them away for retirement; I lost much in the market all because the companies were lying about their products and before I could get out, the stocks had fallen. So, the few stocks I have bought are now for retirement. It is a volatile market and I do not recommend it to anyone; too much fraud and lies to drive the stocks up. Be very careful of what you invest in. Currently, I am investing my money in my private practice which has been quite successful; thanks to God." He is a doctor, so soon will have two offices, opened for clients. So, no words of encouragement. The only thing good is that here, in the market i am interested in, there are not a lot of companies. the market is narrow and small. so it is more easy to find information or listen to others talks and impressions on any company. in bigger countries it is different. especially in usa.
as for me, my portfolio has its best time now, having only three stocks - two are growing and should grow untill the end of the year. as it is said - they are underestimated and too cheap. the third has minus five percent. not sure what to do. it was up for more than 70percent in the last month, so in coming 2-3 months should stay flat. maybe will sell.

rich dad poor dad

2005-06-19T14:55:00.000-07:00

had been reading a book a year ago. "rich dad poor dad", http://www.richdad.com/rich-dad-poor-dad-reviews.html . it was my first book on money and finances that i read for myself, not for studies or job. written in popular style and convincing to aim for financial independence. "get out of rat race". now starting to read the next book from the same authors. about investitions - guide of investor. it is interesting. it says "those, who trade in the stock market, only imagine themselves to invest. in reality they only buy and sell. "buy, keep and pray" - that is a long investition. pray for stocks to go up. and those, who do not keep for long and sell they call only speculators... so, thinking about changing blog's title from 'diary of investor' to "trader's diary".

...

2005-06-07T06:01:00.000-07:00

a few weeks ago promised myself to buy and hold for long. well, could not. somthing inside wants the activity - buy sell buy. not wise, but... yesterday sold two stocks that were going up high. the first one, lifo, seems to stop today, and the bank still streams for maximum..

do not listen to my advices....

2005-06-03T03:59:00.000-07:00

it is soooo difficult to get used to new tickers. now, as we entered saxess platform and baltics had been connected into one baltic stock trade system, there are all new codes for shares and the number of them increased. as i look at my software it is difficult for me to understand what company does it belong to. for example, snoras changed from snor into srs1l. o enrg to len1l. it takes time to find the stock i need!
wow, what a trades the last days here. there a few stocks that were climbing up about 10 percent in a day. what a joy to traders:) got a chance to buy something today. had chosen to stocks with lowest pe and great profit - becaus of rick they still not evaluated in the market. bought the first after a few days high over 24percent. in my opinion it should go up more. then got scared because the price moved down and sold 4/5 of them with losses. well, at the end of the day the price changed and now for that remain i have a litle plus. so, do not listen to me when to buy and when to sell. full of mistakes...
the second stock was bought in 3 transactions and litle numbers. oil. hope to see it up for the next week or two.

no money no trade - or no wish no trade

2005-05-30T13:27:00.000-07:00

have no cash - no savings, so having vacation from detailed look at the stock exchange. the news conference mails changed in volume - with the start of common saxess system, there are many news from other countries companies. an opportunity to think about abroad trade - investing in different currency and unknown enterprises. the next thing - looking forward for new companies coming into the stock exchange. thare news coming about a few preparing to enter the trade list. somehow still think it is a good thing to buy stocks at their enter.

Flags and pennants

2005-05-13T05:46:00.000-07:00

found an article on failed signals to buy or sell. interesting. heard about flags and pennants for the first time. i am not good at technical analysis. now it is more clear for me why people see at the chart and say - i am going to buy this. was wondering why thet buy so often. now i see - there are special signals to enter the position during the trend. find the article here: http://www.spekuliantai.lt/page.php?id=49. only in lithuanian..

what to buy?

2005-05-13T04:04:00.000-07:00

welcome back. was looking at the stocks today, imported the data file into software, but no decision what to buy. looking at the banks, but afraid they will fall in the coming month. want to buy dker, but the results of it are so bad... although good perspective... decided to get some oil, although after such a fast high it should remain in the same price level for a least a month... feeling like a novice and do not what to buy. well last year, when starting i knew what to buy:) the big energetic sector.

market going down

2005-05-10T03:55:00.000-07:00

watching the market the last few weeks - everything down.... was good time to sell everything, although if the same situation will repeat the next year, i will sell everything in february - march and would be extremely careful with trading. almost all the stock i bought the last months gave me minus. now it is good to have some rest from all this and prepare for next season. i still participate in virtual game www.spekuliantai.lt, staying in middle of all investors. well, not so bad, on the whole.

pravalas

2005-04-29T04:07:00.000-07:00

had a look at the report and got scared - for the last two months only losses except two shares. all the rest about 10 stocks turn into minus. no words... must turn everything into cash and now it is the worst time of the year to do so.

not a mistake

2005-04-27T06:02:00.000-07:00

the last time i wrote about snai, rst and invl - i sold them and then was unhappy to see them up. now, after some time, i may draw some conclusions. rst went up - i could have sold it without losses. what it interesting after few days up, now it is great down - almost 30percent from the price i sold it. so, not so bad. invl went up for a few cents, and now it is also lower than my selling price. the only snai is going up. the purpose of my buy was to see RSI working. the problem was i was not looking at the snai situation - it was going down for more than 6months, and i accidentely bought it when after the bottom it started to go up. to buy it was a wise decision, but to sell it.... well, i needed money and quickly..
was reading about sellin decisions today. two points. first - sell with RSI high - over 70-80percent. and second - remember that after rally - quick up over 10-20-30 percent - the price will stay flat for a long time. i wish i knew that earlier.

2005-04-25T05:33:00.000-07:00

wow, what a day.... 16 down, 6 up. terrible day, down. looking for the best day to sell off everything, seems it is not the best chance.

moving out?

2005-04-20T11:38:00.000-07:00

up and down, up and down, but the ups are not high enough.. now in the process of going to move the savings to real estate, so, thinking about holiday from trading and stocks for a few months.
was thinking about the psychology of savings and trading. personally for me it is more difficult to trade when the portfolio is getting bigger. the losses are bigger:) and there is more pressure - maybe the responsibility. the advantage is that with more many it is easier to earn more. now looking forward for the end of summer and small portfolio - will start new trading year.
for now - still making the same mistakes. or maybe it is my way to do things. to find good stock and sell it before it's up. so, feeling upset with invalda, rst and snaige.

2005-04-08T04:04:00.000-07:00

hard day. the rollercoster of the oil price. sold it in the first part of trade, then sae the price moving down and did not get to byu back cheaper... then the price started moving forward, reach maximum - 22ct more than mine sold price and then came back to the price i sold. the mistake - to sell, then the second mistake - to try buy and the higher price. bought a litle bit almost at the maximum price. feeling tired and think will leave this for now.
was looking at rsi and will try it. bought 3 shares where rsi is about 30, hope will not have loss. the shares on the whole do not seem very attractive according their fundamental analysis, but will check rsi..
oh, yes, in the morning bought some bank, then it's price moved down. soon will be a year of my trade and i am still a total novice...
what i do not like - this trading without strategy and too often bying and selling.

how to make money in the bear market?

2005-04-05T04:25:00.000-07:00

find bullish stock:) the family meeting yesterday looked at the stocks and decided it is too much - minus 3 portfolio. sold a few stocks today with rather big loss and bought some more oil - mazeikiai. should look more carefully at this stock in the next few days. maybe will sell and then buy again. it is one of the best choice in my eyes. looking at other shares and do not have a clue - buy, or sell. the best thing should be to wait. as everyone repeats - untill july or august. then the lithuanian market comes back to life.
what is more difficult - to see such big downs. i came to market last year in autumn - since then everything was going towards highs. now i can imagine what it means that stocks are extremely high risk investment.

time

2005-03-29T04:41:00.000-08:00

no time to read, or to trade. market is going down, more and more minus.

some thoughts

2005-03-23T03:38:00.001-08:00

trading stocks is a good thing. you may earn a lot, but as i noticed, you may also earn only a few litas (or any other currency;)). and, you may lose... was watching the last month - almost did not earn anything, although looking at the stocks statistics and trade volume with prices moving up and down, on the most optimistical view - i could have done 10-20-30 percent. it takes time to analyse the situation, to read news, to dig into fundamental data and technical analysis with graphs, to consult clever people. have read in one book, that investor should do his homework in order to succeed. the author was right. without homework your luck will be accidental and depends on the situation in the market and main trends. when all shares go to the top, you will earn. in other case - many books are published with the title "how to earn in bear market"....... have not read.
so, feeling dissapointed today when looking at the numbers. have so litle time to sit and read or analyse. and, according to the last rule - do not sell with loss, will have to wait for a long time while all minuses turn into plus.

2005-03-23T03:38:00.000-08:00

back to trading

2005-03-22T13:24:00.000-08:00

so, welcome back. there were many talks and thoughts, so, thinking not to stop with short trades. on the whole, seems, all the income in lithuania has 33percent taxes (not sure about terms in english, will have to look up).
coming back with some rules. family says not to sell with loss. thinking about recent examples, when the stock prices felt almost 50percent. moreover, now, when everyone talks about flat time coming to the market hope that rule will help. at the moment, protfolio has minus two percent. bad time but not sad.
talked with one friend today - hear more and more people thinking about stock trading and investing in stocks. seems more money come to stock exchange.

from short to long trading

2005-03-17T05:09:00.000-08:00

have not written for a while. we have been thinking about going to long term investing and bying with a purpose to keep the shares more than 366 days - that means we will not have to pay the taxes. in other case - the taxes authorities still discusses the possibility to ask 33percent from the profit. that is a lot to compare that now they take 15 percent. so, tried to organise my portfolio for a long. it consisted of 9 shares. and they ALL have been going down (except oil) for a few weeks... bummer. see, after trading for some time with short positions, it is so difficult to think in long terms and decide on certain stocks and their position in a year or a few months. especially when i am afraid of the coming big down after dividends... moreover, we are thinking about bying some land and taking all the money from the stocks. then it will be difficult to update this site. what is good, that you may start with stocks having very litle money. just buy for extra hundred litas and keep;)

taxes

2005-03-03T02:59:00.000-08:00

the news are not good for lithuanian traders. especially short term traders - the taxes authority discussed the idea to put 33percent tax from the profit in stock trading. upps. the good thong is if you hold the shares longer than one year - you do not pay the taxes. so, decided to may a vacation from trading, have rest and watch what will happen. besides, bought all the stocks ignoring technical analysis and charts, so have only loss for now. time to wait.

daily reviews

2005-02-21T08:07:00.000-08:00

thinking abour applying to forum to prepair daily reviews. then, why am i writing this? i am already doing some kind of reviews;) !!
so, feeling more strong about my way of trading. using software for technical analysis helps a lot! the situation at the market seemed rather strange today morning. all the positions changed prises up (or down) by 10percent - that is too quick - i hear this more and more often. people say big correction may come.
have two stocks - linas and rst in portfolio and they are below signal line - i should have sold them a week ago. rst i am sure will go up in some time, but linas, not so sure... that was really a good lesson to see how the lines and signals work. next thing that i noticed - that those without technical analysis, but looking carefully at the results and profits of the companies, and daily trades, their decisions are really close the charts. that is really interesting to see.

new strength

2005-02-18T01:56:00.000-08:00

feelin awfully - the stomach, althouth can not leave the computer - the trading starts...
making mistakes, trying to learn. starting to valuate technical analysis and simple macd - moving averages. and seeing that the chat and listening to others sometimes makes harm. bought linas yesterday, feeling happy that had money only for a few hundreds. knew it is going down, saw on the graph and still bought. will be good lesson not to listen. and one more thing - rst broke the line and there was sell sign last week. also, did not pay attention. so, will wait for up, for a week or few...
thanks for comments - that gives new strength and interest to write;)
by the way, was searching the web yesterday for freeware stock charting software and was dissapointed. downloaded over 5, and most of them were designed for online stocks. and of course not lithuanian stock exchange. so, have my litle simple fcharts...

late trade and email bouncing

2005-02-17T05:15:00.000-08:00

the trade started 1 hour later today because of technical problems. got no news today - seems my email has got soft bouncing. no news, no trade. was late to sell 3 stoks from portfolio. waited too long after rapid up, so, today got quick down, invalda, apranga. and loss for today. started thinking that the conference and chat on trade sometimes makes harm. should think myself - listened to one opinion and sold good stock - stumbras.
in nse.lt, 16 stocks went up, 9 down. seems, everything is up except mine;(

trading with technical analysis and news

2005-02-14T04:03:00.000-08:00

cool day! the downloaded soft works ok, it is a simple program, with automated market indicators - macd, ema, rsi. still not sure what ema means. anyway, trying to collect my portfolio according to the news and technical analysis. to watch the charts before bying or selling. was counting the profit from all the trading period and it is so small.... have to be more carefull about technics.
today, 12 stocks went up, 19 down. what i see it is not important how many stocks are going down. it is important to have those who are up.

trading talks

2005-02-11T04:02:00.000-08:00

nice trade today. 10 stock up (4 from mine portfolio), 17 down. feeling cool - my portfolio is growing;)
talked with one trader. said, uses two main criteria for picking up the stock - p/e (price earnings ratio) and news on the company. the smaller p/e, the better. and the news of the company shows good or bad perspective for the future. nice talk. should find out more about p/e..

stock charting software

2005-02-10T13:42:00.000-08:00

was using metastock professional offline version by equis, and the demo went out... someone from forum advised to try FCharts and GannalystLite30STD. they both are freeware and easy to use as he said. so, will try these. while searching in the web, saw pretty enough of stock charting software proposals. but, for now will try these and share later.

oh happy day, good trading day;)

2005-02-10T02:01:00.000-08:00

the sun shining, the stocks going up, everything seems fine;) the interesting thing is i tried to apply macd for rst (energy) stocks. there was sell signal a week ago. and yesterday saw the comment that there is a signal for buying coming. oops, so where i was wrong with the technical analysis? by the way, the demo version of metastock professional is over and have a headache to find new software...

sad things

2005-02-09T02:58:00.000-08:00

remember, if you are investing - learn form your mistakes... myself i am not able to learn the lesson. do the same things, and lose...

oil and technical analysis

2005-02-07T10:23:00.000-08:00

so, mazeikiu oil losses reached ten percent for me. still do not know what to do - sell or wait. maybe will have to wait for a year....
was reading some basics on technical analysis, thinking to share with you.
so, the main indicators would be - MACD, RSI, OBV and volume. MACD - is a moving average principle, and as i understood the most popular. it is should be applied only when the market has trend - up or down. in the consolidation macd signals may be wrong. RSI - relative strength index - shows the stocks strenght comparing with other. what i read today - when rsi is higher than 70, you should sell your stocks. when RSI is lower 30, it is a buy signal for the stock.
Volume - great volume confirms the trend. Low volume shows the end of correction.

bad day

2005-02-02T04:36:00.000-08:00

awfully bad day. portfolio - minus 3 percent. follow only my emotions when bying or selling. so,here is the result

resources for lithuanian stock traders

well, thought will write down some lithuanian sites where things on stocks and stock trading may be found

Spekuliantai" - group of traders. the site has no design - the information is important. links to traders chat, forum, email conference and other.

JT - daily news on a stock market, online trading information, articles for new investors.

Finasta is similar to 'JT' - financial brokerage company. i love its virtual portfolio and use it together with my bank accout portfolio.

Investors' education official site of securities commission has dedicated a few pages for investors education

technical analysis

2005-01-27T01:52:00.000-08:00

seems everything is getting more serious. the last 6 months of the year was watching unreal increase and now - flat.... people on irc are talking that everyone should buy only according to technical analysis. there were a few sell signals in my graphics. sold almost everything according to them. well, silly regret did not let to sell mazeikiu oil stocks - and today they are down for more... almost 6 percent. guys were happy yesterday - technical analysis works in NSE;)

waves

2005-01-25T03:41:00.000-08:00

from my short experience of watching the stock market, i may say that there real waves. all the market is growing - protfolio is growing. then the market is going down - and then losses come. not sure, but maybe it is the same elliot waves i heard about. should find something about them in the internet. the truth is that after the fall always come the time to go up. so, feeling relieved this week and watching UP;) read yesterday;s review, well, it was said that according to the volume of the market - there are only small investors playing - hte big ones are going out with some specific stocks. that is - it may be that the "up" is not real - just temporal...

cool

saw one stock this morning - of a finance company - invl. placed my order to buy. then tried to cancel it. seems the cancellation did not work, i bought at good price - and now - after a few hours - it is up 2percent!

cfd and forex

2005-01-21T02:45:00.000-08:00

seems i should improve my english vocabulary for traders terms.. the market is slightly growing up last days, although today seems to be soooo flat... sold almost everything i had, bought some new and have loss of 1 percent for my portfolio. waiting for better times. was not using technical analysis at all and that feels. traders in the channel were mentioning RSIndex of vilse, so thought, should be useful to pay attention to this too. as now have some ideas where to look and what to look for. some are sayng that the market will not grow until spring.
a few days ago went to a free seminar on forex trading. well, the conclusion is - high risk and no time for this. not now. seems, there are 3 firms in lithuania offering such services - forexera, telerade and forex.lt. now, the admiral invest are organising courses of 3 weeks and then open an account for you to trade. what was interesting, heard about new type of trade - CFD - contract for difference. something similar to bets. you take a point in a stock's price and say, that now the price is goung to increase. if you were right - at your chosen time you close the position and have your money - the price change. well, that goes only for usa stocks. but, quite interesting.

rest

2005-01-12T03:53:00.000-08:00

sorry for the silence. the last week was overwhelming and beyond my strength. first, the oil stocks went up a lot in a few days - was watching that very carefully and bying. then, got some cash and had a headache "what to buy" - and when everything was going up in such speed - that was too dangerous. even on the news it was announced that the stock market growth during the day and the turnover was too big and that it is going to decrease in the same speed. well, they were right and the next day it was horrible - a few persent portfolio went down. so, friday afternoon felt it was too much for me... got an advise to have some rest for a week and do not look at the shares. more or less that's what i do these days;) well, the fact that today by only one transaction for 5million litas were bought oil shares should not be unseen...

happy new year

2005-01-03T05:27:00.000-08:00

happy new year!
boom, first trade of the year. bought oil the last minute. oops. saw my transaction approved and decided will never do such thing again. MUST spend some time counting and analysing.
became an associate partner with amazon.com, so will have a look what they have for stock traders.

sell

2004-12-27T01:59:00.000-08:00

seems i got the idea. i should not sell my shares! now, as the economy is growing and the market is growing, more investors are coming to stock market and when the prices of stocks are constantly going up.... just buy buy buy investing in profitable companies....
