Investment Basics - Lesson 1: Asset Allocation
Published by October 30th, 2006 in and Investment Notes. 1 CommentA couple of posts ago I mentioned that I was going to blog about a mechanical system which I use to determine when to buy and sell shares.

Now the KLSE has risen approximately 5.6% whilst my portfolio has languished at aroung 4.5%. But that’s okay [...]
Today, I add a new category to my posts, titled Company View to let you know what I think of a particular company. Under these headings I will focus more on the fundamental aspects of the counter.
But unfortunately I am travelling today so I don’t have access to my charts, but here it is anyway:

Back just in time to see all the charts looking positive. This is characterised by breakouts in various charts on the watchlist. Starting with the earliest:
