Okay, the market hit the near the low February level and finally ended in the positive territory today after 6 continuous days of falling.

There is high chance of bull coming back next week. It’s still dangerous to say that the storm has passed away since market volatility and risks are very high. So even if the bull comes back next week, it would be possible to make bear come back.

Stock trading is all about taking the right opportunity. Buy low and sell high. I believe in long term investment. And I think this is another great time to take the opportunity. It’s important to read the market and act. When everybody is panicked and selling , we should be buying the value stocks. And when others are buying at the top of the price, we should sell them.  We may not be able to catch the lowest bottomed price just like the professional stock trader, but I think this is a good time to buy some high quality but under valued stocks.

Now BP ($43.86 -0.72 -1.62%) , the oil company is on the news every day about it’s oil leakage in the Gulf of Mexico. The price has been down –25% since last month. However, note that BP is one of the largest oil companies and I believe that this incident will not bring down the company in the long run. Probably after several months, everybody will forget this issue and their earning report will raise the stock price. The time will come but not just yet. So I recommend you to check out BP stock and monitor its price everyday. If the price goes down further, maybe I would get some of their stocks. Also note the Dividend percentage. It’s 7.66% Isn’t that sweet?

Also I bought some more of the Southern Copper Corporation SCCO ($27.85 1.66 +6.34%) yesterday at $25.74. And today I am happy that I did. Today it ended $27.85.

Personally I believe that we will see the ups and downs throughout the year,  but I think the economy is getting better little by little so it will be all good by the end of this year.

You should buy the stocks when the Market is crashed. It’s a done deal and making easy money , but to pin point the right moment is always difficult task.

For example, the 2008 October crash dragged the DOW point from 11,400 to 6,600(Early March 2009) . That’s about 5,000 points lost with in 5 months. Now the first sudden drop to 8,400 (-2,000 points!) occurred within the first few days of October. If you have decided to buy stocks at that time, you still advanced 1,600 points right now (Today’s DOW is 10,062). But if you have decided to stay until the March 6th which was the lowest point of DOW (6,626), you could have advanced about 3,500 points! That’s about 53% gain with in 7 months.

There are basically few important things to remember when playing this market.

1. You must monitor and wait for the lowest point of the technical indicators , trading environment , and trader’s sentiments.

2. And once you have the feeling you should buy the strong companies , not penny stocks of course, because only stongest companies can survive the storms. For example , AAPL (Apple) was $82 ,but now it’s $190. That’s more than double.

3. Be patient and don’t be scared and don’t follow the immediate market trends. During the bear market , the emotions are weak and can be easily scared, the market fluctuate too dynamically. Only the patient man can be the rich. Thinking of this as long-term investment .

4. Do not invest all of the money in your bank account. Just invest the amount that you are comfortable with.

I would not recommend for jump into the market at this point. With the past relay of bull markets for the last few months, analysts consider the market is possible to turn short term bear especially with DOW hitting over 10,000. They adivise to be cautious. However, you surely need to be prepared when the time comes.
