everytime there's a pullback... remember to load up on the followings:

Blue chips, shipping trusts and reits, small/mid caps, s-chips.

Everytime it falls big big... just go to ground floor and pick up the bargains.

slight pullback is acceptable. look at the vol (almost 1.2b), i think the confidence is back & hopefully able to hit >2b.  temporary this is a good sign but trade with care, you never know what's next...good luck

there's bound to be some pullback after cheonging for so long...we might also see similar case in STI today like the DOW last night...resistance level is just above us and breaking past it...is not easy...it can be done but not so quick la...

DJ now is 98 up, dropping from high of 115 before it closed for lunch. Seems good for STI tomorrow. I hv Q few counters for High, however, thats still need to be confirmed say before 0830hrs, to do arbitration. Nonetheless, gut feel, tomorrow gonna be a thrill's day, for all, Long or Short. Cheers.

Dear Stupidfool (again no offense)

 

Saw a message in CNN this morning that China wants to have a healthy development for its stock market. Something interesting to look forward to. Positive impact for China stocks listed here?

It has been said that the market react first to what is going to happen 6mths latter. If the US is in reccession & recovering in the third or fourth quarter, the Dow may have already been reflected. Notice the Dow does not plunge to recent bad news. So have you all loaded up? I THINK you all should. This word ' I THINK' is a very safe word to use. Even analysts, when they are being interviewed, they always begin with 'I THINK THIS.....& I THINK THAT....'. So if things happened the other way, they are not to be blamed. I have already loaded & not selling yet. Do you think I can buy back Sino-Env @ 90cts & Ho Bee @ 88cts if I will to sell? I dun think so.                                                                              So are those shouts of  ' Cheoooong  Ahhhhhhh!  &   Huaaaat Ahhhhh!' making a come back?    I THINK SO!

1.7b traded today, at least it boost the trading moral of majority small timers. Tomorrow may improve further, my view. Cheers.

Temasek's fund arm says stock rebound not imminent (Ms Chan, chief investment officer of Fullerton Fund management, it manage about S$3.5 bil from external investors and part of Temasek's more then US$100 bil), believes a long term rally in stock markets is unlikely...unless.....

It is very much a trading market for now.

Today almost all green, except for Jade....very Jaded.

No cheong leh!! BT poured cold water saying that the recent rebound was not a V-shape victory. Sigh!! My gut feel also quite certain that today's market will be quite good despite DJ decline a minor margin last Fri.

I willingly to pay tuition fee again to test the market by pre-Qing a lot of SGX on rise. Ha ha, didn't work well. Its fine, learn from failure.

there r certainly very much of two opposing views just like what the news had reported...those analysts ..50-50 of them taking bullish stand while another half see another washdown in this bear rally...

guess staying sideline to watch might be a more cautious approach...in my personal view, i think it will only be good to be back into the markets only when things are more logical in the sense that...when there's bad news, market go down...when there's good news, market go up...do it the simple way and u will be less likely to get trapped in this confusing market now

think a lot of people don't see the severity of the whole problem..focus on the big picture.. US economy is definitely crumbling..don't deceive urself and find excuses.. IT IS DYING!!! IT's a country with FREAKING LOADS of DEBT..and it won't just "CORRECT" itself in a couple of months..it takes YEARS!

so with that..u decide ur own fate in the stock market..
