x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	frankly speaking, STI performance for today not too bad already.. dropped less than 3% when others are predicting a market crash!! Just a little panic selling today and should be able to pick up given our strong economy.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Ya man, big players will drive prices down and when small investor start to get panic and join in ... then they will start to collect back and make a good deal out of it. Look at the recent Sub-prime ..... if you went in during that time to pick non-financial and property counter, you have already make some decent profit liao ...... i will pay attention to local blue chips with strong fundamental ....... and those local Singapore company that the business is more locally driven ..... Drop then buy and wait ..... So stay focus ....... May SGX bless us all.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Seriously, a drop of >20% is considered a market crash. What's a little drop of 2.64% and 2.65% for the DJI and Nasdaq? YTD both those indices are still in positive territory. I consider the drop on Friday as a no more than a correction caused by fear. Whether this is the start of a downtrend is anybody's guess. The more panicky you are and the more ready you are to sell your shares at any price (believing that you can pick them up again a lot cheaper later), the better it will be for those waiting for bargains and the shortists.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	let us hope is limited so fear factor is smaller and we can get on with it and up again. Will next Monday see US make a U-turn and recover the lost ground, anyone got the latest news from US?  Hope the fund investment or the US make some adjustment so to limit the worst.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	SGX Focus - Investors get spooked on Black Monday anniversary Curtis Bergh, 22 Oct 2007 Markets in the United States tanked on Friday, which was also the 20th anniversary of 'Black Monday.' The past certainly came back and haunted investors. The Dow Jones Industrials Average dropped 366.94 points, or 2.64%, to 13,522.02. The tech heavy NASDAQ dropped 74.15 points, or 2.65%, to 2,725.16. The S&P 500 dropped 39.45 points, or 2.56%, to 1,500.63. Oil dropped US$0.87 to US$88.60 a barrel. Gold dropped US$0.30 to US$768.40 an ounce. Wachovia reported a US$1.3 bln write down from subprime related issues for the quarter, which helped sink earnings 10%. The stock was down US$1.74, or 3.61%, to US$46.40. Capital One Financial Corp also running into problems in its earnings from subprime. Capital one reported a quarterly loss of US$81.6 mln vs. a profit at this time last year of more than $750 mln. The company took a US$898 mln charge from the shut-down of its Greenpoint Mortgage Unit. The stock traded lower, down US$3.32, or 5.03%, to US$62.68 a share.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	It is all fear factor that is driven. Look at the August episode on hindsight. Those who sold are lamenting; with some of good quality stocks scaling new heights recently. Just some opinion.
