.. Elifinchilde, just missed you....., the insomniac is reminded of "Sleepless in Seattle"... but never mind ...nevertheless not too late... for the sake of those babyboomers who may not know the lyrics let me quote COOK DA BOOKS... Your Eyes Your eyes Opened wide as I looked your way Couldn't hide what they meant to say Feeling lost in a crowded room It's too soon for a new love When you smile your eyes show your heart Lost inside a soul torn apart Feeling alone with people around True love is so hard to find now You think you're so misunderstood I'd explain if only I could Something tells me this time it's real The way that I feel I should post this emoticon to accompany the mood.... love is in the air..... |

and i'll sign off here with a final song, Your Eyes, by Cook Da Books, for all you dreamers, lovers and loners out there; a final thought for you: always know what emotion(s) drives you the most, because only then can you control it, and so master yourself. DBS, UOB and OCBC are calling for a defensive portfolio strategy. In a market correction, stocks fall 10-20%. S'pore's PE ratio is being revalued. I'll place my call as per usual: volatile range bound from now til end april--because people still want to believe--thereafter down. Listen to greenspan perhaps, he's more intuitive, more powerful than bernanke. Take care, and always, patience in the hunt. signing off, your resident elf. |

and it's the sound of silence now...remember someone once saying they liked simon and garfunkel here? gotta love the harmonizing done in thirds and fifths. They use jazz chords of sevenths and ninths, that's why the song's haunting melodically...and ya gotta agree with the words, isn't it... Cities are such cold places. Glass, steel, pollution and loneliness, but people are organic and memories, too, likewise... anyone read kerouac or ginsberg before? silence like a cancer grows indeed. and all our neon gods, what value, life?. eastonbay, the course was of use. It's at the shangri la anyway, so if you've tried the food there, hey, no complaints man. ;) ipunter, yes, you called? keke. it's yesteday once more. and i think, as long as singapore keeps tearing down her old buildings, it's the erasure of presence, because memories are always physical, so why do they keep wondering why we're always talking of uprooting, or why we're a nation of amnesiacs? alfian sa'at called it rightly, and he's a poet because he could word what everyone felt but could not say. if it's TA, yes. TA split into two = technical (what the charts dispassionately record) and analysis (which is the stargazing, where you must ignore emotion to be good). Technical, honestly, is easy to master, after all it is just basic mathematics when you go down to the fundamentals of price and volume. It's the analysis that's always difficult, because there will always be human interference. Like stargazing. why do we call things in the shapes of scorpions, swans, and such like? A realist will tell you they're just discrete dead rocks in the sky. It's the human who wants to see the shapes of gods and other things. Who must insist on seeing and possessing hope. That's why she was the last to fly out of Pandora's box. summertime is playing now, and that, perhaps, is the condition of the human heart. |

hullo everyone... let's do this by song themes shall we...on my itunes now is silverchair's dreams of dying alone, elf just woke up from a nap, gonna wander off for a bite and back to sleep again... yongjiu, nope, my co doesn't give off. like your operationally ready NS men, i'm 24/7 on call for work. expected to drop everything and rush back (like SQ girls too! hehe) the moment i get a call, even if i'm overseas. What do you do for a living btw? civil servant like the rest of us? haha. and it's my foolish heart by al jarreau now...think that's a redundant statement, no? since what's the point of hearts if they can't be foolish? :) and aiyah. i'm just temperamental by nature lah. not very strong physically, so things like light, temperature, sound, food (lack of), sleep, affect me... will always wake up on full moon nights 'cos it's too bright... and the sound of the sweeper's broom at 6 am, all the unseen, unheard people of singapore...altho no, i don't howl at the moon. bwah haha. ooh, and it's il divo's version of Hero now... and always, we gotta end off with a *hugs!* to bunnie! :))) |

Burntbadbad, thanks! Then I think I borrowed the same book which you bought. I glanced through Martin Pring book and I think he explained it in a way layman can understand. The book is easy to read and it explains basic terms. So maybe it might be easier for you to start with Pring book. Just a suggestion since I haven't read the Williams yet. Singaporegal, thanks in advance... when I get my hands on Williams, I know I can seek help from you when I run into trouble. |

Hi burntbadbad and others, I've read Larry Williams' books and I think I more or less grasp what he's trying to say. What are the difficulties you all face? Maybe I can help? |

Yup... After mastering the "rudiments" of Technical Analysis", ... One must necessarily also spend an additional number of years 'learning the ropes' too. This latter is more related to the human aspects of speculation. |

Eastonbay, Colorado The book Technical Analysis Explained, Martin J. Pring 4th edition is $39.85 and about 641 pages including glossary.Am still struggling with the Larry Williams book. His theories are easier to understand but the charts (practical part) are giving me a headache cos I think one needs to have quite a good understanding of TA to appreciate what the heck he is talking about. In all it's quite interesting, I think.:-) The other qian beis who've read the books seem to understand and recommend highly so must die die also try to digest it too. |

If one says price history and market interest is not to be considered when buying a stock ... then one is really just buying 'blindly'. And to buy blindly (ie. in a random fashion) is, in my view, the most dangerous thing one can do. |

One must first understand what Techical Analysis is... The chart is is a map of market action, ie. what the market is doing up till the last transaction/s... The chart is simply a record of what actually transpired during the buying and selling activity, and had nothing whatsoever to do with it's 'relevance'. |

EastonBay, Can't really recall the no. of pages, will go to the bookstore to check over the weekend and let you know. But it's not easy reading. Anyway, in my personal opinion, a time like this, is TA still applicable? |
