Stock Market Trading or Investment

As a working Singaporean, I invest in the stock market in order to get a better rate of returns.  Initially, I started trading and lost quite a sum of money to those smart monies who have deep pockets and can move the price of stocks.  Smart monies are the Big Boys who have access to information that are better and faster than we layman investors.  BB are forward looking and that is why is stock prices always move ahead before the company news are out. If you are good at technical analysis and can react firmly and fast, I believe you can follow them via the price and volume analysis.  For me, I have learn and pay my lessons and just invest in dividends stocks looking at their fundamental.  If company fundamental remains good, I will just average down or up every now and then.  Not bullet proof but it suits me and I prefer to invest slow and easy.
