they are on holidays..... only singaporean working hard.....

especially the chinese.....mid-autumn festival still working.....

No one will tell you that can do naked short under any circiumstances.

But most houses have internal daily clearing systems to balance out all the transactions for the whole day.

Hence it is more of an administrative advantage than a facility for people to short-sell.    

If you plan to short intraday, that is sell and buy back before the market close, that is ok. But not encourage by SGX.

If you short and did not buy back before market close, that is illegal. Fine $1000 per day, up to 3 days.

If you plan to short and hold overnight, you must open a CFD account and trade through that account. This is the only legal way to hold short position overnight, but there is a daily charges.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

what is CFD? CASH?

Thanks Terence, you mean as long as I sell in the morning and buy back in the afternoon this is ok? DBS Vickers said cannot.

relax lah, only stress kill you. smile will make u live longer....

lose money also won't die.... why worry be happy.  go home and eat the moon-cake and drink chinese tea.

there some guys keep pressure you to sell so if drop they go in and pick up the depressed price.....  if u worry go back home and relax....watch tom and jerry has a good laugh...money is not everything so don't say die die so easily.  say you will live to see the genting share price goes up tomorrow and keep smiling !

when u are happy luck follows you.

I think he was referring to foreign houses in china and hong kong closed for the holidays, so lack of vol today......

the trades of foreign individuals cannot affect the vol so much...... 

epliew, I think you might have a point......
