x 1   x 1  Alert Admin	Jim Rogers is a billionaire so he can be wrong on many small trades  but right on the big ones and still make decent profit. He does not need to tell people the composition of his portfolio. counter      ( Date: 28-Dec-2012 10:29) Posted: You are right indeed. He is only human. But then Warren Buffett has not got everything right either. I think a more important question is whether he is right most of the time. What do you think?   bokkie      ( Date: 28-Dec-2012 10:09) Posted: what I know is JR is not right about commodity in 201

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Why the preference of futures over equities? Do futures have significant advantages over equities? And why not both futures and equities? I have always interested in futures. Make one look cool isn't? My apology for the many questions.

x 1   x 0  Alert Admin	Very complicated ya? And in the long run, for me at least, it is easier just to buy the entire mkt if bullish via ETF or futures. STI is up 8%+ since mid Nov. Japan and China are both up > 10%.

x 1   x 1  Alert Admin	When few want to sell, the buyers will have to keep bidding up the price. This is generally not the case in Olam because like I mentioned earlier, a lot of equity funds do not have the mandate to hold bonds. They have no choice but to sell. Hence the volume was high and there was not much of a short squeeze. In SC Global there is no short squeeze but Wheelock was accumulating after the GO announcement, believing that the co is worth $2.50 but  few wanted to sell as they also believed GO price can improve from $1.80. In fact SCGD went as high as $2.08 intraday for two days.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	In my view, the short squeeze did occurr when the price rose from $1.3+ to  $1.5+.  Without the short squeeze, the price would probably be  hovering around $1 by now. Some bros here thought that the short squeeze did not occur due to different expectations. Btw, I stall cannot see how the  volume tells whether there are more buyers or sellers?  Obfuscate      ( Date: 28-Dec-2012 09:23) Posted: For a short squeeze to happen there has to be few sellers and a lot of buyers who want to cover their shorts. The volume will tell us whether there are few or many sellers in the market. In Olam's case, just compare its volume vs period a few months earlier. Between 10 Aug and 19 Oct when the share price avg $2.00 daily volume was 13.1m shares. SC Global in the same period was 4.8m shares. counter      ( Date: 28-Dec-2012 07:06) Posted: Could you enlighten us how the statistics you have provided here actually show more buyers or sellers?  I don't see the relevance. I can only tell from the price and  not from the volume

Obfuscate      ( Date: 27-Dec-2012 15:32) Posted: Price  will only shoot up  when there are lots of buyers and few sellers eg SC Global since the  general offer  announcement. In Olam's case, the shares transacted in last five weeks to 21 Dec averaged 49.3m daily, compared with 4.2m in SC Global since 6 Dec

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	We can group the people in the stock market in 3 categories those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happen. I guess, at best, we can only watch things happen.
