You keep spending time picking up the stocks.
So what's the point actually?
Brother... learning about what you are investing is the very foundation of a investor.. to emerge a seasoned investor who can ride both the bull & bear waves takes a lot more effort.
The current Credit Crunch is threatening the the creditability of the whole financial system and this will affect every corner of the world eventually. We in Asia is only feeling the ripples from what happened to the US and now in EU countries.. I dont want to speculate anything but banks and institutions have gone from OK to heavily indebted overnight. How certain are we that Banks in Asia are not exposed?
A company may have fantastic figures and in good health.. but it's growth will be dampen by the current sentiments. To pick bottom you must have patience. There's another group that ride on technical rebounds to make money on a bear market. I find that too much risk for too little reward. Track your habits.. then you'll understand the type of trader you are and you make the best out of that.
Good luck
