Why I am not buying Baidu ?as you can see , it is still within the bearish channel, no indication of trend reversal pattern. So what's the hurry? It might goes lower. To me, TA is reactive, our roles should be when this pattern emerges, what am I going to do? Let your research work - fundamentals secure you on the selection process. Everyone uses different metrics.....
Could it revisits its Oct 22 low of 73 price level ? I doubt so but it is possible so let the chart plays out and then decide the next course of action. Our role is not to predict how the patterns will play out using our preferred imagination , confirmation biases , etc and disillusioned our mind. Like I said, buying the stock takes less than 30 seconds but once it is purchased, you have to watch it grow either upwards, sideway or downwards. Over time, this will affect your mood as you either see profits, stagnant or losses.
The blame game starts why didn't I ? So rather than regrets , it is wiser to be discipline to do all the preparation work. And no need to worry too much about missing the boat, the market always offer opportunities for you to get in, maybe not at rock bottom but is better to ride the right trend than to buy at cheapest and hold on for months/years before it rallys. Opportunity costs !
