Perceptions are the truth

I feel really bad and lousy about myself.

Yesterday, i was talking to a couple of friends who (incidentally) have been making a killing in the stock market recently.. i realised that i am really a noob when it comes to gambling investing. In fact, after the chat, i had doubts over the way i stock pick.

I realised that i dont read papers which accordingly to them is a rich source of information on what are the potentially bullish counters and market trends. I blame this on my lousy work hours and my love for going to bed early... and me being addicted to facebooking and also my photography hobby. =(

As such, i woke up this morning and started reading every single thread on CNA website. SOmething which i havent done for ages.

I would like to sumarise the day's events in the following few pointers.

1) Airbus 330 is unsafe. This means...dont buy airbus stocks. In fact, dont buy airline stocks.
2) Brazil is a rich country. This means... we should start looking at brazil counters
3) Oil prices are going up. This means... we should buy energy counters
4) H1N1 is very much alive. This means... we should buy health care sector.

How did i do as i value investor? i feel very well informed now..

Regards
Lucky all these years.
