When you are investing or trading in equities, you are playing against both institutional investors as well as retail investors and they come in all shapes and sizes. The interesting thing about monitoring stock forums such as Channelnewsasia Market Talk forum is to see for yourself the tangible manifestation of GREED and FEAR in the various threads started and contributed by the investors, punters and other people in the forum.

I’ve decided to do a wordle word cloud to show a snapshow of what the forummers are posting today 1 Nov 2009.

Not too surprising that the key words for today are that there will be a selldown on Monday on STI because Dow Jones Industrial Average lost about 2.5% or 200+ points on Friday.

Be well and prosper.
