[lessons] top winners revealed

Foreword

 Not too long ago, i did a review of my top losers (see here), it was quite well-accepted. as i mean who the heck likes to talk about their mistakes right? so long overdue, i also wopuld like to reveal my top winners. Granted they are not huge multi-baggers. but I would like to see how if through oberving this, i can find any learnable moments that will help everyone around :)

Overall

Looking at the chart, I realised that most of my "bigger winners were made in year 2017, probably because i just started getting a better appreciation of trading. and I also subsequently realized that the small wins and losses were about the same, so this really proves the point of letting the big run and cutting off losses and trades which were invalidated quickly.

Sheng Siong. I remembered entering Shengsiong not because it was a good fundamental stock, but rather because of a tip from my friend who did the TA for me, and told me the price cut above the 50ma, and base on the long consolidation period, could enter for the ride. This was one of the earlier counters that I made some significant profits compared to the other small moves. retrospectively thinking, i think i did a good job cutting the counter when there was that huge price rejection candle. maybe i could have timed it a bit better but a learning point.

Spackman.  Similarly this counter i entered because price then cut above 20ma, and thus was a speculative play. Together with the super volume, i captured a large move! i think i took profit at a not too bad timing.

Accordia Golf. This counter was one of my larger holdings because i kept accumulating it from 51c.. to 60+c, regretably i though i shouldhave sold off a bit earlier before the big dip. and then re-enter last week, as price emerge above 200ma! but oh well, with a large portion of investable money made liquid, i will hunt for some income assets!

Bestworld. this was a quick punt, and it was caught as price broke the counter trend! what a lovely catch! I will strive to look out for such catches where the rate of increase over time is fantastic!

Venture. Just Exited this counter, with a huge as return of 50% without considering taking the dividends. this is probably the result of letting winners run, and cutting losers. i will try to emulate this again. 

Conclusion

A lot of my bigger winners are from 2017 after i gained some realization and 2nd level thinking, these counters also captured a large portion of the upside. Lucky me indeed! but overall, seems like my gains and losses cancel each other out, and the only thing keeping me positive is the dividends i receive!
For those who always cut their winners to take profits early and let losers fester, i cannot figure how will their bottomline be! Meanwhile i will try to sharpen my stock picks and hone my trade plan and skill in identifying setups! Happy Sunday!
