Diary of investor

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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,...

some thoughts. 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, so, you will earn. many books are published with the title "how to earn in bear market". so, feeling dissapointed today when looking at the numbers. have so litle time to sit and read or analyse. and, according to the ...

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.

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;)

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.

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.

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...

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;(

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.
