Agreed. Took most of the buy position in Oct. Hope the BB can push it up somemore, trying to max profit in the situation. Quite a good run ler, up like 400 point on the STI in half a month. Start new position definite need to be more cautious, in time like this. ( But if trapped in a new postion by BB, in this kind of market still ok as stocks price is still very low, potiential for upside in the long term still good). All the interest rate cut, may start to see inflation a few month down road. People holding too much cash, are slowly coming back in the market again. Window dressing period by bank and insurance co are drawning nearer i think. Need to push up alittle, if no the unit trust looks damn bad. |

If they buy at a higher price in the morning and then sell at a lower price in the afternoon. Would they be losing $$$. Where is the profit???

Look like sharks coming in play. Placing Big buy to support the price and pushing up some not so liquid counters. New shorting rules makes it hard to challenge the buy call. Well, i think for now it is good for the market. Hold the price, push all the way up to fair value. |

General caution. The market that move up so fast this few days can come down equally as fast. Contra within means, and contra good fundatmental counters with good cashflow. At least, if market takes a turn u are stuck with a good counter. Long term growth is still achievable to make profit. US definite will annouce bad result on housing no, but up or down is depending on investors expectation. If bad news is smaller that what is expected market confidence is still solid man, if it is bigger that expected then might see another roller-coaster. Support the Index, hold the line. (At least got rotational plays to keep market excited, better than sea of red nos) |

When investors start to have a sense of over-confidence, like buying anything also make kopi that the time to be alert i guess. Today market confidence good, singtel annouce profit warning also no one care cause other individual stock are up. Hope ST can stay around 1800, so many battered stock can do rotational play. Sharks like this kind of period, will definite come in to play/. |

Oct so much pessimism in the market. Suddenly come Nov, investor suddenly see light into the future. The market is such a wonderful thing, how views can change according to analyst in 7 days. About 400 pts gain in ST Index sure can create confidence in the market dun all agree. Nov will be the month of rotational stocks play, if ST Index can hold around 1800 level. (My views only). Investors are hungry for gain after a few months of shell-shock. Sharks & whale may come into the plays. Support the market, hold the line. |

Latest new, our singapore government started to hold talk with Vegas see if they need any asisstance. (Read today straits time, to much lose if dun help vegas) If the project is successful, those who invest will gain other who are just watching will complaint. Got risk involve with money de. I rather have a universal studio in singapore better than dun hav. But my idea is for people to invest and hope they make money. The problems you states if happen will still happen, i cannot leave the country no choice, try to make more money so that my parents will not be one of them. Haiz. Cannot expect common people to change the world, we are not saint. |

ie, singaporeans become an even lesser minority in their own country (natural born singaporeans+ PRs currently are 1 out of 3 here). costs of electricity, water, housing goes up. wages remain down due to "global competition and the need to remain competitive". Our old people can become maids, cleaners and cooks for the foreigners *wow! still employable at 65!*. No minimum wages, long hours. Kids, if you study hard, you can become a minister, which is the best job to have. Iron rice bowl, no need to worry even if you screw up, will have cover. If you don't, maybe you can be lucky and become a tourist guide here. Earn 3k a month, pay 500k for public housing that is 99 year leasehold. in effect, renting the place. For which we're expected to be grateful. FYI: there is talk that the Marina IR may not go up as fast. Building has been delayed. YTD, Las Vegas Sands has dropped in share px from ~US$100 to US$10.38. Moreover, they took a loan of more than US$5 bil, of which merrill lynch and Lehman Brothers were the underwriters. Along with our three local banks. No one ever wondered why the US credit swap lines were extended to singapore, out of so many other asian countries? |

Youth Olypmic, Formula F1 right at our doorsteps. Neighbours country who dun want to spend alot going to US or Europe. Come to singapore and visit these attraction. Look at lousy disney in HK attract how many people from China. Which stocks will benefit in these dreamly scenario. Woah Woah. Singapore so many attraction. Price of these counters now ===== 50% discount still Hotel not enough again start building, woah woah. Hotel use alot water and electricity, not enough capacity again. woah woah. Service sector not enough people again, sigh more foreigner. |

agree 101%. human nature never changes. people are people. they are creatures of habit. and that is how patterns form; it is what we techies read. so when we read charts, what we essentially read, is the map of human behaviour. the swing of the pendulum between the shifting sands of greed, hope and fear. no more, no less.

Some investors will be wondering did they let go good stock to cheap, and start to buy alittle just in case miss the boat. I will be selling some to take some profit. I think STI will still edge up slightly or trade side away this week (My Guess only, depending on new development always). Try to look at some penny stocks, may have some hidden gems inside waiting for the picking as they are hit blue black. (Risky with good return) Sudden surge of almost 300pts in STI will cause most investor to be greedy and some will start to hit their head when they sell out earlier and start buying back a little. Hence will see some support at current level, this is not based on fundamental which is still weak at the moment but market oversold stituation appear i guess. Still need more confidence in supporting the market, hopefully STI can hold at 1800 level till year end. Then we might see some light at the end of the tunnel. Support the market, hold the line!!! |

Like i mention in the earlier post. Holding the STI Index will create some form of confidence in the market. People slowly will come in to look at stock, will benefit the market as a whole. As investor start to evalute the market as a whole. With all the interest rate cut, inflation is starting at a slow pace to climb to the economy. Hold cash (paper money) might not be the best form of defense in these scenario. Weak rally now will help to stablise the market, the next thing is waiting for the price of commodities and currency to to stabilise. Government will have to get people to spend again so that the economy get moving again. |
