STI to cross 3000 boosted by long-term investors

the last 50minutes of trade made many uneasy...profit taking...from a point of positive 20+ to the closing at 6points up only...some say the window dressing will end today while some others views are on Monday...but what happens after that...

recently DOW in the red...we are very much in the green...but if tonight DOW red...we will likely turn red too on Monday...its just..how red it is only
 

 

Unlike the other 4 days, there were massive turnover of B and S, but looking at today late afternoon, no kick at all. Perhaps those behind the counter already earned enough leow. Lets hope DJ tonite don't shock us. Cheers.

 

this afternoon session very quiet..rather stagnant currently...everybody waiting for some large movement...1hr+ to go before closing

 

strength today is shorting getting caught? window dressing?

i am a long term believer though

 

the recent days of rally...is it really due to window dressing only..or the confidence of market coming back? whether to buy and keep or wait for the pullback is something some of us will have in mind...i believe there will be some form of profit taking very soon

 

Hi Ipunter,the supreme leader

Any books u can recomend to buy to avoid the pitfalls of selling too fast or buy too slow?

Or buy too fast and sell too slow???

If trading or speculating is so diffcult,then y trade????

Tks for blessing for my coming birthday. 4 D sian? 30 Mar?

I agreed with the equation, but at time there is exceptional. I think some of you have had that encouters  before. AK is one of them, but with no regret, lesson learnt.

Exit from trading quite a while already, need to go back to take a look whether got kopi money for the stock booked at 0855 hrs this mornig. Good luck folks.

 

Trend-following is one of the hallmarks of superior trading...

Vol low, yet some counters actually rise so much and so fast with low vol despite current market conditions.

 

I think the next impact will be from Shanghai market and not from Dow, watch that closely...

 

2nd last day to lock in ur profits for those shares u can save...

window dressin to close on 31st mar..

just my opinion..the choice is urs..

we're in a bear phase market..there's no higher highs..just lower lows.. ;p

 

Happy Birthday in advance to you, AK Francis. Have a wonderful weekend!

 

I think today gonna be an absolute hit-n-run day leow. Holding over the weekend is not encouraged, my view, as US, Iraq and China issues posted strongly in BT today. Nowadays, under such volatile markets, we can't be greedy anymore, take the money and enjoy with your love one over the weekends. Ha, incidentally, my birthday is on this coming Sunday, dun know where to bring my family members for dine?

 

awww i sold too early. nevertheless with profit and as plan. good for those who still holding on. Cheers

 

Folks, DJ so far in green, though, around 15 up. Thats a good sign for STI already. Hence, tomorrow, how? Ask my Polar bears, cheers.

 

its certainly more encouraging lately...hope the volume will gradually increase to emulate confidence 

 

Markets have been doing well these few days. Let's hope volume increases too.

 

down from the reds to an impressive closing in the greens...and we are above the 3000 level! our morning rally seems to be inspired by Hang Seng...last night DOW ends almost -0.9% and today we end around +0.9%

 

Aiyah, iPunter may not be sentimental about he cashes out his shares, but he is still sentimental towards all his haopengyou here. How can he bear to leave us....

iPunter, am I correct?
