x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Just take note of the major corrections and not the minor ones. Livermore      ( Date: 25-May-2009 18:52) Posted: Many are going to make this mistake . They buy and sell so much they lose focus. Then after they sell, the stock will go up. But they refuse to buy back because the stock is at higher price. 4 years later, they will realise where they went wrong

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	STI manage to clear 2283 / 2300.  Next resistance level 2450 then 2500??  If short sellers sell heavily again and US doesnt perform well, will it drop back below 2283 again?  So unpredictable.

Four stocks fell for each that rose of the 30 companies on the gauge.     The following shares were among the most active in the market today. Stock symbols are in parentheses after company names.     Beyonics Technology Ltd. (BT SP), a Singapore-based electronics manufacturer, dropped 5.9 percent to 16 Singapore cents.

(CESS SP), a China-based maker of potato starch-based products, slumped 9.6 percent to 23.5 Singapore cents. The company said profit in the year ended March 31 declined 28 percent as average selling prices fell and less  profitable products made up more of its sales volume.     Informatics Education Ltd.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	SINGAPORE, May 26, 2009 (AFP) - Singapore shares closed 1.26 percent lower Tuesday as investors looked for fresh leads amid mixed recovery signals for the ailing economy.     The blue-chip Straits Times Index (STI) fell 28.67 points to 2,238.79 on volume of 2.75 billion shares worth 1.61 billion Singapore dollars (1.11 billion US).     Losers led gainers 311 to 194, with 800 issues unchanged.     Investors are questioning “the increasingly apparent disconnect between the stock market performances and economic performance, particularly as share prices breach most analysts’ target prices,” said CIMB.     NetResearch Asia chairman Kevin Scully said investors were buying into penny stocks but not blue chips “which probably signals that the (large investment) funds have invested enough or are holding back.”     “I think it’s time to exercise patience at this level,” he added.     Banking shares closed lower. DBS fell 20 cents to 11.44 dollars, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp eased 13 cents to 7.02 and United Overseas Bank shed 18 cents to 14.26.     Among property shares, CapitaLand slipped seven cents to 3.44, Keppel Land inched down five cents to 1.95 and City Developments dipped a cent to 2.10.     Singapore Airlines retreated 14 cents to 12.00 and Singapore Telecommunications closed seven cents lower at 2.74.     Beverage maker Fraser and Neave eased four cents to 4.02 and investment holding company Sembcorp Industries slid seven cents to 2.91.     Singapore Petroleum Co. extended gains after oil major PetroChina said it had agreed to buy nearly half of the refiner. SPC was up three cents to 6.08 after advancing 1.01 dollars, or 20 percent, on Monday.     SPC’s parent firm Keppel Corp was up two cents at 7.30.      - Dow Jones Newswires contributed to this story -     str/mba/dan

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Looks like stock inching down slowly.  Notice when price goes down, it is well supported by a '1 lot buy up'.... but, price already down and the 'buy up' is actually lower each day...think got to becareful when want to pick stock and buy at this moment of time. des_khor      ( Date: 26-May-2009 00:25) Posted: haha... the main problem here nobody know when is the minor or major one lo....sometime we thought just a minor correction, who know day by day dip dip till no more brake and keep dropping slowly ! bottomline emotion still affect our decision ! Livermore      ( Date: 25-May-2009 18:55) Posted: Ignore the small corrections and focus on the major corrections. At the end of the day if you lose out to the person who just bought and held for long term, what is the point of buying and selling so much over minor corrections?
