Swissco “Swee”

I had blogged earlier that Swissco can be a potential double bagger. Refer link here.


You must be wondering why then I am not owning any Swissco shares before my purchase this week? If you had been following my blog, you will notice I had bought and sold Swissco shares several times and register some profitable gains in a short time. While I do not advocate trading, I do strategized at times to lock profits.


In one of my earlier post link here, I mentioned that I had sold Swissco after price rose spectacularly to 0.45 registering a 30% gain within less than a month. I also think then that price rise can be temporary and speculative in the short term, while waiting for a good re-entry opportunity. This week opportunity comes when price fall to low of 0.405.


PS: In case you do not know what is the meaning of “Swee”, it means “Beautiful” in Hokkien.
