Don't side track on the ego shit.  I am talking about the cyber trade.  That trades that you did after 4 pm.  That you got in $XX (day low).....  Wonder if Jockey club let me bet on Race 1 afte ...

What did I say on #197? Pls refresh my memory. In fact, I still have 20K.

When the hell did I say I can trade after 4pm? Are you out of your mind?

That you got in $XX (day low)..

I am not so lucky. I hardly ever can get in at day low or out at day high with exceptions. You need to be very smart to do that. With auction prices, you can get in at day low provided the stocks keep on rising. Today, there are several examples ie. #569, #139, #885.

I know your value.  Wake up from your cyber portfolio.

Today, #224 is out of favour so I will place orders tomorrow for @$0.9.

The auction price for 569 was at 2.50 at around 9:45, and I should have placed a bet on it by looking its price right now.
Again, I sold my 2020 IPO one day behind or one day too early.

I like to know if other brothers/sisters can place auction prices after 9:45am?? Anyone tried and succeed?

Forget about them lar.
The best IPO EVER is the one today.  #569.
Allocation is around 7% and price has gone up 47%.  
As as usual, I picked the wrong one today - #825 with 4% alloca ...

Since you are expert on so many things, where do you think GOLD is heading? I just executed several PUT contracts at $668.

Thanks and let's stop this kind of bickering.

I guess you are right. Always willing buyers & sellers. I have been lucky on most cross currencies leveraged contracts and have made more from them than the stock market. All are CALLS and they are GBP/JPY, GBP/CHF and AUD/JPY. I was down over $100K per contract in March due to carry trade and JPY getting to 115 vs. USD but have recovered as I have CALL contracts and can wait out (no need to pay interest as in PUT).

I asked a simple question as I cannot execute online. Must they be done manually via a live broker?

Thanks again.

can't fully understand your question but I guess the answer would be -
the matching will be made for the volume at the cutoff at 9:50 am sharp.    And it all depends on the volume on each si ...

This is another confusion point. For all the auction orders I have placed thus far, they will ALL become "at-limit" orders if not matched. That's what happened at HSBC, Hantec and Chief which I am 100% sure. They don't get "canceled".

Sure.  I am losing my shirt with my long EUR/YEN.  I gained 16 trades in a row by range trade, and this one loss is many times over that 16 gains.

HSBC can be frustrating too (cannot log in at all sometimes during heaving trading).

I am still intrigue by the 9:45am to 9:50am window. Do you place orders on-line? Pls tell me which firm you use.

You probably placed the auction limit order as opposed to the auction order which has a higher priorty than the former. ...

When you put in an auction order, you can't name a price.

Maybe that's the thing. When I put in auction orders, I always name prices. I guess if I don't specify prices and let the system take over, I can put in bids after 9:45am. Maybe ...

Anyway, you are smart. It is always much more easier to utilize money to make money rather than human to make money. You need brain power and some luck too! I have learned this long time ago!

I just took up an overdraft facility this morning with DBS for $350K.

Only $250K. I thought $3,500K.

By the way, what is the O/D rate?

引用:

原帖由 dejavu2003 於 2007-7-14 17:54 發表
It was $350K, not $250K, but I wanted less but they won't let me. It's for standby credit and IPO only.

Sorry - $250K was a typo. Yes, people always offer O/D or standby facilities but I have never shown much interest. For IPO, you mean to utilize the #350K to borrow say $3,150K (10% capital)?

With your current net worth, the banks should be lining-up to offer you funding.

Yes. that's the idea.  To borrow another $3.150K.  
Wrong.  One bank even rejected my credit card application even though they approached me.  I had a mortgage with them, I had spent $350K ...

So you have a big mortgage? I have paid-off mine late last year, basically debt-free. Also sold some Australian properties to take advantage of the very strong AUD. To further diversify, I have invested in several open-end funds and they turned out to be really good (most, not ALL).

I do have a (no big) mortage.   I am seriously in debt..... and I am not worried.

As long as those debts can be liquidated with profit, there are no risks for sure.

Wonder how one can liquidate a DEBT with profit. I can only hope to liquidate an asset with profit.

What I meant was to sell your assets, pay off debts and take the profit (if any) for other investment purposes.
