Excited about the latest & hottest stock in town that everyone is talking about on Facebook groups, investing forums, and live webinars?

“Argh! I could’ve made 15% if I bought into that stock a few weeks ago when it was at RM1.00!”

Then, you either have a good whole day of self-blaming for not buying into that stock ‘a few weeks ago’ OR you rush in to chase the price in hope that you can catch the remaining up move of the stock.

Isn’t this familiar, kind of like a Déjà vu?

Because you have likely experienced it last week, and even the previous month too – how did that turn out for you?

Stocks or news that make it to the headline & social media, well, takes time to appear on the headline.

By then:

Skilled day-traders that know how to read price action & order flow have taken advantage of the move.

Experienced investors with foresight about the value of the stock have already secured their positions months before this headline.

When everyone in town is crazy and talking about a stock, you are probably too late – timing, mindset and skill-wise –  into the party.
