Lausk22... :) I must say your concern is rather valid ... Perhaps the rest can simply ignore our "noise and chatter" here... while we savour the real goodies... :) |

hi Sporegal, re vietnam, I think relatively safe (dont forget it is still a communist country, army in full control). However in main cities like Ho Chi Min City (former Saigon) WATCH out for motor cycles!!!! practically millions on the street.. no traffic rules leh... pesonally, Sporegal, if you only have a few days perhaps you might want to consider Sydney.. it would be cool in a few months time, plus you can see it cheaply if you buy a 3 day tourist pass to ride their trains & buses unlimited travel, besides SIA offers very low rates for two to travel.. culture wise not as ancient as Troy, but they have the Sydney Opera House.. and hotels are relatively cheap you should book with wotif.com for discounted rates..(however, downside is the Aussie dollar is at a all time high).. |

hi l_tan, chartwise HB still shows upside but advise caution. I seriously don't see BB play on this counter at all--it's been all retail for past few days. for today excepting one big lot thrown down of 100, the rest all small fries only....its running up entirely on speculation that local props might (key word, might) run up to twice valuation as in london. yanlord had only three large trades--100,200 sell downs (1600, 1620 hrs) and an earlier buy of abt 264 lots at 1420 hrs. actually, the BBs are in allgreen now. rem what i said, HB leads AG? beautiful lots of 100, 200 boughtup. missed the runup today tho. dang. was chionging work btwn my post earlier and now. siggghhhh....mebbe i shd just invest full time. haha. AG techs: resistance at 1.85. caution on it too tho (yea fine, i'm a little bear): brokerage houses (think UOBKH) rate it a hold, full valuation upgrade from 1.33 to 1.76. So it's actually above valuation alr. chinkiasu and godpa, hold your nerves on SPC and STE. Very, very pretty play classic of your BBs. consistent pattern of large lots thrown down preceded/followed closely by large lot bought up. Esp telling is the time of trades. =>SPC 500 lot thrown down yesterday was likely to weed out retailers to panic sell. SPC control today at 4.8. But i'm seeing retail sell, institutional buy mainly on both. If you have the funds (and stomach), hold. Gonna be a rollercoaster. but sit quiet as a mouse and you're likely gonna make big. heehee. watch resistance for STE at 3.5, SPC at 4.96. always, caution tho. no exuberance needed. foreign funds very volatile. Note: neither trade advisable for the contra player. You need funds to hold either/or. |

Geojam, I think it is possibly becoz hedge fund pulling out of Nikkei yesterday,and some parking it momentarily in SGX...but this like Elf say exercise caution...(watch were you thread) must emphasise the word momentarily... |

chinkiasu, well said. Must say I'm amused by how you connect the 2 (mkt up and jabbas). Also happy for you with your SPC. |

haha, as long as i ain't included in their ranks, that's fine. haha. anyhow, godpa and chinkiasu, this is for the two of you: finally we're starting to see some real BB play. on one of your counters, too: St Engg. Godpa, rem i told you STE lags SPC and will follow its pattern? You're starting to see that now. 700lots big buys (200,200,300) from 1147 to 1153 am. sudden throwdowns too of 500 lots in morning and later 100 lots at 1201. Consistent with BB play and not like on counters like HB, where it's all retail players. MOmentum swing now but pls be careful, for some reason one brokerage house revised STE rating to 3.50, hold. (altho why then are BBs buying...) Hold out the SPC lag if you're not short of funds. It's reverse tandem play on these two counters. (ie, SPC up, STE down. vice versa.) The one thing you need to do is to sell them at dif times. dang i wish i had funds to play. :( meh. ahhhh ok bossie here gotta work tata |

Hi Elf, Seek yr views on Ho Bee. Is there still any upside potential in the short term? Comparing Ho Bee and Yanlord, which do you think is a better buy? Thanks. |

i think the 'talk up' may be because the civil jabbas need to 'justify' their salary hikes |

caution on current market. might be going up simply due to retailers wanting it to go up so they can recoup losses. been tracking vols of counters; there's very little bona fide BB action. No consistent pattern of buy/sell, except for the undervalued counters like SMB. what i'm instead seeing is indiscriminate ramping up of stocks by deseperate retailers/some BBs. also: caution on following news. there seems to be an increasing amt of 'talk up' in our papers, which if you follow FA basis, or take from foreign media, is not what the perception is on singapore stocks at all....briefly, singapore market is trading at current PE ratio of 16.9x, which is perceived by foreigners as overstretched already. |

to add to Slimsk recomendation on Vietnam, Taiwan... I remember the ancient capital city of Hue (vietnam)... and for taiwan the famous Alishan (de gu nian jen mei li), I was very impressed with the journey up in a cute train thro bamboo forest and then the sea of clouds when the sun sets in the evening... then the trip from hualian thro da ru ge hugging the mountain ravines to Lishan .. |

Hi Singaporegal, Travelling and food are my favourite subjects, can talk non-stop on these 2 subjects. For nearby travel, not too far or exp, besides lijiang(heard the old town really very nice) and Xian (place of the terracotta soldiers), both places i have not yet visited but would like to go, may also consider Hanoi or Saigon. Halong Bay is supposed to be very nice like Guilin, and Saigon is pretty interesting esp Cuci Tunnel. However have to warn u that Vietnam is pretty polluted,crazy traffice and not so developed. But if u go with an open mind and heart, u'll find it a gem and i luv their food! If u like culture, may also consider going to Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat. But have to say it's now pretty touristy with little kids following u around and selling copy Lonely planets for US$ 3-5. Taiwan's also a very place with lots to see. Although Taipei's pretty touristy, u can chose to go on your own off the tourist track, to many little cities and mountains well-worth a visit. Their Tai Ru Ge is a national treasure and great for outdoor lovers! |

iPunter, My Pal Ref: Your post of: 02-Apr-2007 09:38 suggesting that "Now that we've considerately booted ourselves from the STI thread, perhaps we can have our posts on Tao, Wu Jia Pi, etc... here.." Don't you think that this overcrowded place is meant more for young and old rojak lovers than those who savour vintage spirits, be they old sage or wine ?? |

and about Cameron Highland. I visited 1.5 year back... That place has become quite touristy. And I agreed that degree of deforestation is rather great. However, the car ride up is now smoother as compared to years back. It's still cool (anywhere is cooler than S'pore) though not as cold as I remembered it. Either I'm more used to cold weather now due to long exposure to aircon or it is really not as cold due to deforestation. |
