Better wait for signals to be clearer before buying. Learnt from Jan experience, don't commit too much at one go. Can be a falling knife.  Nobody knows. If want to buy for technial rebound, better stick to less volatile good bluechip counters like SPH, singtel, comfortdelgro etc Even if wrong, one day, it will climb back again, hopefully.

The infrastructure theme is one I had mentioend many times before. Here are short paragraphs from the article - Commodities may see short term blip in today's Business Times

 

Likewise, Citi says it continues to believe in the strong developing market demand story, especially on the infrastructure side. Domestic demand is evidenced by current rates of urban infrastructure investments in China running at 24.3% year on year and fixed assets investment in non-ferrous metals manufacturing running at 68.1 % year on year. Over the next decade, China and India are forecast to accont for 43% and 13% of total infrastructure spending of US$21.7 trillion in the emerging markets

 

Citi sees attractive opportunities, particularly in Latin American equities and global infrastructure themes such as steel and diversified commodities funds.

Maybe it is BB controlling the market?

Trying to entice people to buy in?

What AK perceives that BBs had accumulated quite a substantial component stocks in the morning, during panic selling and afternoon shortiest panic buying back. They pushing up the price during pre-closed period. And if DJ tonite don't fall, 2morow is more or less a technical rebound scenerio, being STI downs for week. They will push up the prices accordingly and gain more loh. If DJ down further, no issue, they will dump further to create more panic and collect further loh.

Hence, look out carefully tonite leow. But had Q for SGX and SPC on low.

wait for index to be around 3,000 before starting to buy. when volume is this low, it's very, very easy to manipulate the market. meanwhile, better to be twiddling your thumbs than jumping in to try and catch falling knives. caution is better in such a market.

Immediate outlook: The Straits Times Index (STI) continued to see weakness in line with regional and global markets. The index broke down from its bearish wedge pattern last week and this is a bearish sign in the short term. The STI ended the week at 3,122.15, down 119pts or 3.7% week-on-week. For this week, be prepared for more downside after the index fell below strong support levels. The 100-day SMA at 3,090 would likely offer some support but we do not think it would be able to hold the sellers for long. The next level of support is at 3,000 psychological level.


Medium-term outlook (2-6 months): Now that the index is trading above its 100-day SMA, we can deduce that the index is bullish for the medium term. The STI has broken out above its medium term trend line resistance recently and this is usually the first signal that the market has indeed bottomed out and is now getting ready to rally again. However, there was a bearish engulfing candle on its weekly chart, suggesting some weakness in the near term. Its MACD and RSI have also flattened out, suggesting that the underlying buying momentum is easing. There is a good chance that the index failed to breach its support-turned-resistance at 3,220-3,350 after a few tries. Despite the short term
weakness, we believe that the long term uptrend is not over yet. Any weakness towards support levels may be seen as an opportunity to buy. 2,800-2,820 is a strong support for the STI.
