x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	cheongwee: my strategy is stay invested at all times as it is hard to catch the low and up. of cuz you can reduce the frequency of your trade if you are wary of the market situation but keeping periodically invested should yield better returns than total exit and then total enter on appropriate moment in the long run.you may disagree with my strategy of cuz :)

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	DJ is toying every region tossing them ard these days.  For 6 hours GBP/JPY was down almost 300 points and the next 6 hours, its up with 400 points.  My stop was hit at a loss of 4000USD and placed a BUY for a reverse.  Now I got my money back. God! This is no fun. Utterly bad for health!!

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	My opinion..no a suggestion for trade...is that the risk of staying outweight the benefit..will clear as per rebound..and stay off. for the moment..but will be back in any rally..like the recent pennies rally..if there is one..let hope for the best.. The guy who make the most is he who get in early...and hopfully out before party end..the latter is more difficult..most luck. This round saw my profit dwindle by 25%..put some to gold stock and commodity relate..believe gold got a future...alway my ambition to see a gold px of US$2600...like David Bensimon forcast...we shall see.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Below quoted: ("This is not a turning point in the stock market," said Hirokazu Yuihama, the regional strategist at Daiwa in Hong Kong. "There will not be a major correction because the decline is not spurred by factors within Asia."     Yuihama, who favours export-related sectors such as the technology, shipping and transport sectors, said the Singapore market is expected to rise another 10-20 percent from current levels.) Let us be calm and patient.....

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Some stock dont crash as much as others so I beg to differ else they wont call these stocks safe haven stock. Compare YongXin and Telechoice for today. Yongxin 10 lots at opening 0.67 = 6700SGD Yongxin 10 lots at closing 0.58 = 5800SGD Yongxin = -900SGD Telechoice 10 lots at opening 0.265 = 2650GD Telechoice 10 lots at closing 0.26 = 2600SGD Telechoice = - -50SGD If you a 5 lots of YongXin and 5 lots of Telechoice.  Will you be worse of?

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hi Daffodil, It may be good to sell at the beginning of the drops. Then must prepare psychologically (Elf is good at this with her experiences with the BBs) and timing to buy back. Towards the end of the drop, no point in selling. Just have to swim and keep afloat if you can afford to keep the money in stocks. Should not buy only speculative stocks, may be 50% good div stocks, so even if you keep them, you will have div better than bank interest just like the last few years.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hi Sporeguy, Can you pls share more about the Wave A. B. C which I have read in several postings? I am very new in the stock market and have a lot of money now stuck. I am not sure what to do .. should i sell and cut losses or buy more to leverage out? Unfortunatively, I have only bought speculative stocks such as CSC, IPCO, RH Energy, Straits Asia, Multi-con, Yangzijiang, jackspeed, ChinaAngel, YHI and Frontline.   I appreciate any advice.   Many Thaks

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Wave A : 3665 (24/07) - 173 = 3492 (27/07) Wave C should drop by 0.618x173=107 Postulated Wave C : 3548 (31/07) -107 =3441. But like a bouncing ball dropping from a high pt, should have it drop approx. (1-0.618)x107(=40)  more i.e let it drop by 107+40 =147 till 3400 before bouncing to 3441. Thus can start to nibble when it drops below 3400.
