Yeah... agree... till now, i still worry about another crash...

when crashed... there is no logic... whether company fundamental good or bad ..

i did unload 100% of my holding at early 2008 ...

share a quote "when you leave everything to luck, suddenly, you feel you're out of luck"

i always feel i'm not the lucky guy... so, i don't leave it to luck only...

Sorry, correction.

SingTel is not low, just that there is more upside than downside.

SingTel is a safe stocks to play, as long as you Buy at its low and sell at its high. Even if you Buy at its high, you'll know it'll come back again. Unlike many stocks, when you Buy at their highs, you'll never have the chance to see that high again. Now is SingTel's low, a good time to Buy. iPunter      ( Date: 04-Jun-2010 12:10) Posted: I suppose for people who don't have a good working  knowledge of price technicals or market dynamics, they would have no choice but to hold their stocks even when they are not gaining. But for those who do, it is clearly suicidal to hold when a downtward rend  is likely to be in the works. Thus, many who sold at the peak of a bull trend would have avoided having their stocks decimated before their eyes, and they can then consider buying in again at times like now.

Quite right.
