Anytime is good as long as there is a stock being sold for a cheap price.

let me qualify your statement:

anytime is good as long as there is a stock with potential for appreciation being sold for a cheap price.

salamat sa mga nagreply. however, i just noticed na lately halos by cents na lang ang difference ng mga stocks against the buy below price that's why im hesitant to make my first buy. also why are there stocks na lampas sa buy below price yun presyo pero ang advise ng broker (COL) "buy" pa rin like sa case ng jfc?

May I add, anytime is good as long as there is a stock with potential for appreciation being sold for a cheap price, PROVIDED you are still alive when it reached its potential.

That's good.

Thus the emphasis on catalysts on both macro (industry) and micro (company-specific) levels.

Totally agree.. TA aspect, stocks that are ranging is waiting for a "catalyst" either the price to move up (good news) or move down (bad news) 

Thats my experience po for watching the market for almost 1 year na..

The direction doesn't matter. Catalysts can reinforce or redirect an ongoing trend, provided the price does not already reflect it. Implied market expectations and the beta coefficient are important figures for this sort of analysis.

Optimally, you will want bad news that broadly affect the market as a whole and good news that correspond specifically with the company and/or its industry.
