Jerry, 2 reasons why KLSE is not so affected (but sometimes still affected) are 1, very difficult for foreign to play as there is currency control, 2nd, election coming.

cyjjerry, two words: closed market.

KLSE isn't so easily tradeable; quite a lot of rules for foreigners--don't kwno the exact details. plus, currency limit on what you can bring out. so funds don't like to play bursa malaysia cos you need to keep the $ inthe country for a lock in period. not worth for traders. plus, they have a history of just changing the rules (remember CLOB?); so bad rep amongst funds.

may be a better idea not to jump in yet. europe opens in the afternoon; likely to drag sti down further as the managers from there sell asia. plus, dow futures are starting to dip.

drop today shd be ~100 pts by my count.

what a disappointment after a fine rebound last friday. 

good luck.

Now just gotta see whether 12710 for DJIA will hold. It was the Aug and Nov correction support levels. It if breaks, we are looking at a lower low already. U can see the chart here @ my blog.

This may or may not be the right (profitable) thing to do...

Though the masses seem to be doing exactly this...  Smiley

Will cut my stocks and UTs positions on monday and close all by next week (if US indexes break their major support). With nasdaq support broken, i have shifted to more bearish bias. maybe will leave some profitable counters open but have to depend on each stock movement next week.

VIX broke the mid of bollinger band and thus give it a bullish touch, hench stock market is bear inclined with watching more on short trade and put options.

DOW managed to stay at 12800pts. Any rebound will be short live and heading south to 12500pts.

Depend on DOW, now testing 12800 support

On Monday, ASX dip, Nikkei fall, STI gap down, HSI drop, STI bleed further to test 3300

Fear is the ruler as bad news continue to pouring in
