aie. looks bad.
elf, dun think u r lost, but one place to have the index is
http://btstocks.asiaone.com/keyIndices.htmlhope this is correct place
it is not farnie, i wanna trade STI CFD not stocks... DUHzzzzzzzzz....
could any kind soul please direct a lost elf to the exact webpage where one can view the entire set of sti indices (including the sectorial ones)?
found it once but can't seem to find it again...
thanks.
I feel that the DOW is a better leading indicator than the current version of the STI.
Fully agreed. The revamp index is really NOT reflective of what happening in there....
What a let down!
Furthermore, a limited component index is likely to give a false impression of the state of the market at any particular time...
Also an index or any chart only shows only what has already happened...
It does not show what will happen next... this is what speculation is all about...
No greatest analyst or financial prophet will dare to stick his neck out and predict for sure...
They will always cover their arses and use terms like probable, likely, 'may or may not', could, etc ...
well you know what I mean... hehehe...
yea...mani....agree to a certain extent on tt point u stated...well...the STI is juz an overall indication of wad the market sentiment is like...when we trade stocks...we do not buy the whole component 30 stocks in the index ...
But that's really not a problem...
one shouldn't have used the STI at all...
Better to go by sector performance and individual stock's behaviour...
Where is that oracle Victorf???
Damn it, no chart to plot STI.. hahaha
but i will be looking to buy on Dip. Come lets buy.
Caveat Emptor, not inducement to trade hor
wonder where us victorf? as tomorrow is the jan14 he predicted
With the reduction in the number of constituents that make up the new STI index, it becomes less useful than before. It may be actually pointless to talk about the movements of the STI because of this.
The other new FTSE STI indices may be more useful than the STI itself in time to come because they cover more stocks and are sector specific. However, the investing public is still very emotionally attached to the STI and will continue to look to it to guage market sentiment.
care to explain y or indicate ur bullishness in DOW than STI ?
I am more bullish of DOW than STI at the moment. i waiting for the signal to either Long or Short.
I mentioned quite a bit about infrastructure as a investment theme. Currently more than 50% of China is still largely rural. Mukesh Ambani, one of the richest man in the world who is also chairman, managing director of Reliance Industries, India's largest company by market cap and revenues acknowledged that Indian infrastructure can't catch up with its development. A pity there is no India stock listed here.
The Sing dollar and other Asian countries are expected to rise against the US dollar in this year. The current depreciation of the US dollar is good for its economy to rebalance its imbalances. Recent data have shown its current account deficit is decreasing with more export.
However this year we shall see how our "two big brothers" China and India fare during a US economic slowdown. If Asia can hold its own, it can only mean better years ahead. China's trade surplus with the rest of the world is tremendous. Thus the Chinese yuan is set to rise in the future.
During this US Presidential Election, you can see the candidates talking about change. I have yet to read them talking about the most dramatic change that is happening in Asia. As the world famous investor, Jim Rogers, who correctly predicted the start of the commodities boom, said," If the 20th century was the American century, then the 21st century belongs to China" This would be the greatest economic boom since the England's Industrial Revolution.
Yes, that would be the grestest change in the 21st century.......
