They sure ain't switching on the light yet. Dow itching to test 11000 by the looks of it.

Saw minor shortcovering/manipulation on some STI components.

Goodness.... DOW futures down more than 100pts aldy... question is, will FED sit back & allow the economy to fall further & further & further??? Anyway, a lot will depend on tonight start of earnings rally or more importantly, the company's guidance.......

elf does not have CFD. thanks for the tip. :)

word of caution for those thinking market is cheap now and itching to buy: whatever your counter is, wait for tomorrow at least. DJIA may drop a further three digit tonight. overhang of bad news from last week.

keke. thumbs up to aleoleo and ozone. Smiley you guys in HSI puts or STI puts? i don't like the STI puts leh; nothing really attractive...

i'm just waiting for my longterm counters to fall to the px i want. o/w, today's nothing out of the ordinary.

as per post on STE's thread: these two weeks will be volatile: earning seasons is in for the US. Dow components reporting; Alcoa and Gen Motors lead the way. Bernanke testifies in this week. Inside talk for oil is to hit 150 within these two weeks.

advice for newbies/non-techies remains the same: if you must invest, go longterm, via DCA, into good counters. You'll have less sleepless nights this way.

ok. elfie's off to . hehe.

Dow did a very good fake out. Expect bearish pressure - Europe is likely to gap down the most heavily later.

STI last line of defence 2867. Break = more falls to come.
