This is an educational piece. When it comes to stock investment, I always keep an eye out for the cup-and-handle pattern. It's one of my favourite and most reliable patterns. Cup and handle pattern A cup-and-handle pattern is a bullish continuation pattern where the price forms a rounded "cup" followed by a smaller consolidation or "handle." Once the price breaks above the resistance at the rim of the cup, it typically signals strong bullish momentum with the potential for a significant upward move.

The recent rebound in April is an example that Chinese stocks can rebound without a rebound in property. Falling property price has been a boon to discretionary spending.- China’s economy is bottoming with some upticks, not stalling - our proprietary cycle indicator shows. Manufacturing investment has made up for the fall in property investment. China’s advantage in export stems from its labor productivity and costs. It won’t disappear and will trigger trade frictions. Geopolitical risks abound. - Excess savings are coming out of bank accounts seeking yields. When confidence improves, they will likely be allocated back to stocks, instead of WMPs. The best plays in this unique cycle have been industrial commodities, instead of stocks still beset by regulatory reforms in domestic market

Ok let's address all three questions. Is it wise to buy at historical highs? Well if there is a number of tailwinds that lead you to the conclusion that the stock will continue to rally, then yes. But also look at the potential headwinds. At some point you must make the decision to either buy a ticket for the roller coaster and jump on, or just sit at the ticket booth and watch, interviewing people who are on the ride and either regret your decision not to buy a ticket, or rejoice in your decision to stay on the sidelines. Have I brought at historical highs? Yes, most recently $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$. And to date I have no regrets. I brought at $1.08, not many, but now it's over $1.30 in under two weeks or so. Do I regret not buying more? No, whenever

Buying stocks at historical high prices can be risky and may not be wise for everyone. Here are some points to consider: 1. Limited upside: If a stock is already at an all-time high, there may be limited room for growth. 2. Overvaluation: Stocks trading at historical highs may be overvalued, meaning their prices are not justified by their earnings or fundamentals. 3. Increased volatility: Stocks at highs can be more volatile, and a small correction can result in significant losses. 4. No margin of safety: Buying at highs leaves little room for error, and a slight decline can lead to losses. However, some investors may still consider buying stocks at historical highs if: 1. Fundamentals are strong: If the company's financials, management, and industry trends are robust, the stock may contin

The U.S. stock market $S&P 500(.SPX)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ hit a new high for the 30th time, and the bull market is expected to continue into next year. Do we need to continue to hold stocks firmly? One indicator worth a look>> $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ The $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ index fell below 12 last month—such a trajectory has only occurred a few times since the index was established in 1990.When we see such levels, the market is quiet. But we should not misinterpret this as "calm before the storm." In fact, individual stocks may start to outperform the market from here.To prove this point, I looked at

Investing at Highs: A Kiwi Perspective Is buying at historical highs a wise choice? Investing at all-time highs can seem daunting, but historical data supports it as a viable strategy. From 1988 to 2024, buying the S&P 500 at peaks often yielded better returns over one-, three-, and five-year periods compared to other times [oai_citation:1,Investing with the Market at All-Time Highs | Wealth Management](https://www.wealthmanagement.com/equities/investing-market-all-time-highs) [oai_citation:2,The Smart Money Is Buying All-Time Highs - And Why You Should Too | Nasdaq](https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/the-smart-money-is-buying-all-time-highs-and-why-you-should-too).

[Cool] As warren buffet once said "Be fearful when others are greedy" and "Be greedy when others are fearful".There is so much opportunities right now in the market because of our everchanging world.

Dear fellow investors, with the EU dropping their rates. USD has raised in forex value. This will be their cushion when US dropped their rates in Nov.  The corporations are manipulating the numbers to push the main indexes to new highs with decrease volume. Looking back to the data of the 2008 dotcom bubble.

This cannot be more clear of the capital direction ahead.  Do trade with care my fellow investors. Do look out for the Nov 2024 US fed rate cut where we will see the tides retreat with great speed and reveal who

Investing in stocks at historic highs requires a balanced approach. While historical trends and potential gains offer compelling reasons to invest, the risk of corrections and valuation concerns warrant caution. By carefully assessing your risk tolerance, investment horizon, and conducting thorough research, you can make informed decisions that align with your financial goals. Remember, investing is a long-term game, and staying focused on your objectives can help you navigate market fluctuations with confidence.

It is dangerous to buy stocks at their historical highs. Stock price cannot keep rising indefinitely; a pullback will occur sooner or later. Buying stocks at their historical highs and when the market subsequently falls, means suffering significant losses.Only growth stocks for long term holding can justify buying at high points.
