Am I Better Off With Trading or Buy&Hold?

Cheng asked:

"On hindsight, if you had held on to it from $1.37 to $2.65(not including divy and rights issue, excluding trading fees) will give you $193.43, which is 93% gains"

Let me do a review on Noble and Olam, the two most actively traded counters in 2009.

Let look at the charts of Realized and UnRealized P/L between Buy&Hold and Buy&Hold&Sell&Buy

Assuming I held on to Noble @ $0.91 and Olam @ $1.37 at Round 1.

After sensing that STI was not going to crash back to lthe level of Mar 09, I decided to leave behind some Noble at $0.96 and Olam at $1.68 to continue the commodities race with CIC and Temasek.

It is important not to left behind while the Bulls are charging up without you or the Bears stumbling down and you are fully on board.

I can see the difference!
