x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	According to my analysis, last year correction happen in May. May 10, 2006 STI - 12546 points June 14, 2006 STI - 2277 points ( that is 13.8% drop) Feb 26, 2006 STI - 3307 points March 1, 2006 STI - 3078 points (that is 7% drop). Well, with the same percentage correction as last year, it can reach as low as 2862 points... once again, looking at the situation now, it seems like the worst is not over yet... I shall not invest in any counters now  yet, just stay sideline to monitor. As for India sensex, last year, they drop 27% . Currently, it has dropped 12.3%.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Selldown may not be over but outlook good: analyst (SINGAPORE) The stock markets probably aren't yet done with the selldown, says JP Morgan economist David Fernandez. But beyond the market correction this week, he is highly bullish about the global growth outlook, and ventures that the United States will begin raising interest rates before the end of the year. (SINGAPORE) The stock markets probably aren't yet done with the selldown, says JP Morgan economist David Fernandez. But beyond the market correction this week, he is highly bullish about the global growth outlook, and ventures that the United States will begin raising interest rates before the end of the year. Concern about a US recession may be warranted but premature. It's more a 2008, '09 story; not '07. - JP Morgan economist David Fernandez Analysts and market watchers are 'still struggling to make sense of what happened' this week, he said at a talk yesterday. 'But at this stage, I'm relatively sanguine about the fallout.' Mr Fernandez, managing director and head of emerging market research at the investment bank, was one of three speakers at the University of Chicago GSB (Graduate School of Business) business forecast lunch. While there has been renewed concern of late about a sharp slowdown in the US, and there remain niggling problem spots in the US economy, he believes 'growth is going to be OK' and the American economy will once again prove resilient. 'The US economy will not stumble into recession this year,' he said. Concern about a US recession may be warranted but 'premature', he added. 'It's more a 2008, '09 story; not '07.' He does not see the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates this year. Instead, if the US economy fares well and with wages on the rise, the Fed will be hiking rates by the end of the year, he said. Even with US potential growth sliding to 2.5 per cent, 'it is hard for me to get too bearish on the economy itself', he said. Beyond the US, global growth this year will also be good, he expects. 'Globally, profits are still high, and monetary policy is still easy,' he said. Other economists also reckon that this week's stock market correction has little to do with major shifts in economic fundamentals, particularly as the selldown stemmed from China.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Shanghai index closed up 1.2% today .... Let's see how US market reacts to it tonite.  Europe just slightly RED (less than 1% dip). Guess they are waiting for US to open for more directions. US futures indicte a dip opening now. Since most analysts are now saying this week's correction as healthly, global market should rebound next week. Like I had said, it is still too early for the BB to unload now for summer holiday. The Chinese congress meeting starts on Monday, surely the Chinese government will calm the market that day!!! Cos it is Olympic year in China next year .... :)

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	iPunter, Think you mentioned in the 'Fellowship' thread that FA ppl are usually confident with their shares. I am 95% an FA person.....so in this recent turmoil, instead of fretting, I look at it as an opportunity to seek out values in stocks.

If the downtrend is not a 3-day affair, any pull-back (rebound) will see the Big Bears licking their lips before lapping up another round of the sweet honey... :) But since the bullishness has already conditioned people for so long, I suppose many are still bullishly inclined.
