Bulls think and bet on the market to rise... 

Bears think and bet on the market to fall...

A market's 'performance' depends on whether the bulls or the bears win out in their tussle... Smiley

Slight set back for STI today b'coz of solar-halo effects which cause slight bearish emotions in human beings and rats. This should pass as soon as the moisture loaded cloudy sky disperse.

Trade carefully....Smiley

Bull and bears are both equally strong now...

Perhaps the gains in the last week will really make the bears turn into wimpy, sheepish and scared  animals with their tails curled  in between their legs and dragging their dejected massive bodies away from the scene.

Or... much more probable... they will turn into bulls too and join the foray!... Smiley

got the insider "WINDS" that all the BB wanna push up the STI back to 3600 level, by parting money into the STI components blue chips, if you see they can't break the all time high 3688 in the near term which is still another 300 points to go, another sell down followed..

take note.

"A recovery gathered steam Wednesday in ailing global stock markets amid fresh corporate deal news and rising investor hopes for a US Federal Reserve rate cut to get credit markets moving."

New American Industry-21st century.

There was a time when the business of America was real business.GM was the most the most important industry.

What was good for GM  was good for America in the '50's.

Now there is" monkey business" in th '00s'

The new industry is called debt. Americans buy things they don't need with money they don't have.

What is good for Wall Steet is good or bad for America? Toss a coin?

I do not see any new surprises after the announcement of a japanese rate kept  on hold for the next few days.

If  you think the bottom has been seen -buy.

If you think that this is a desperate move to calm the markets-sell as the STI has retraced 2/3 of it's 600+ fall .(3450) offers resistance




Any disclosure of losses by hedge funds will collapse the market as confidence is fragile.

The "cherries" were there for the picking when STI was near 3100.

Thanks victorf for the answer.
It's a good enough answer for me (if I have secret recipe I will also want to keep it a secret).  I will be alert to what you write and monitor to see how the events turn out - who knows one day I might find that doing so will save me a lot of homework Smiley

eric2007, sure you can have your doubts (no worry as i will be offended as i always let the market WALK THE TALK)...too bad the MODELING is a SECRET RECIPE and only our closed ones will know...we always let the MARKET to prove us wrong or right as it is the most efficient (no point arguing with anyone and let the market prove it)...to share "a bit",  it is from 50% contribution factors from historical data over many years and another 50% from xxxx.....good luck

NB: You never know who is naked until the tide is down...you never know who is right until the market prove it...hence let the market prove us right or wrong (and no point arguing right or wrong when we have the market as our judge :))

Hi victorf,

Can share a bit on how you arrive at your conclusions?

No offence, but I still don't know whether to take your advice seriously, so a bit of info from you might help :)

Thanks!

the fact that central banks all around the globe had pump more cash into the financial markets also helped to up sentiment. But the way i see it, its gonna create more volatility than stability as the underlying sub prime woes is still not resolved.
