Someone needs  help too -

Friend has some US share (2 or 3 companies) and can he rely on the monthly statement's balance to sell his share?  Shares were bought many many years ago and still receiving statements.  First, he must open us trading a/c. Can a broker help with this kind of checking of balance etc or help consolidate them?   Tks

Hi niuyear,

Thanks n same to u as I believe u too are vested.

Lets HUAT together n just ignore all those distracting noises n dun get affected emotionally by it, remember my 3 golden mantras n trade mechanically,  all those noises are just testing our resolve n how steadfast are we, our confidence in the FA n TA, but at the same time, also must remember set your stop-loss n on the lookout for reversal sign in the chart as nothing is guaranteed.

hahaha, Buffet buys stocks based on 'what plants his neighbours are planting'!  I thought he buys stocks based on how much his neighbours farted.  Laugh my ass out!

For me, I buy stocks if  when all  my neighbours strart borrowing money from me........Laugh my heart out............



kittyhawk      ( Date: 21-Sep-2009 15:52) Posted:



Haha...I dun think Mr Buffett would decide his investment executions by looking at any restaurant queue lines.

But we have a local fella which would do so...wonder what he will buy next by looking at which plant his neighbour water first.

About his achievements, he can say this and that...but why bother when no one can verify?

Weishen81 is so hardworking and already buying books to read.    I am still only learning from the website like tortoise.  LOL 



richtan      ( Date: 20-Sep-2009 22:55) Posted:

Hi weishen81,

I m glad for u tat u are trying to pick as mush knowledge as iu can n bot those books n visited those recommended websites.

So sorry tat I dun know of any methods to learn virtual  trade with SG stocks.

Wat I did to practice wat I learnt n refine n hone my skills is to read how other analysts n TA websites eg: ttp://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/Favorites.CServlet?obj=ID369857&cmd=show&disp=p analysed n also self pracice by pulling out any chart, cover up thecandles n test my knowledge n predict the next day price action n then reveal the next day candle to see whether I m right or wrong, if wrong, where did I go wrong, but of course, at times we might be right but the price action the next day shows us wrong as the mkt at times are weird animal or we failed to identify tat is a fake candle eg candle body size, vol, divergence, etc n thus importance of setting stop-loss is crucial.

Hi Richtan,

S&P 500 May Add 20% Based on Moving Average: Technical Analysis
Share | Email | Print | A A A



By Sapna Maheshwari

Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) -- The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index may rally another 20 percent, the amount by which it exceeds its average level from the previous 200 days, according to an analysis by Birinyi Associates Inc.

The S&P 500 closed yesterday at 1068.76, or 20.1 percent above its 200-day moving average of 889.64, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The index has climbed 20 percent above its 200-day moving average three other times since World War II, in 1975, 1982 and 1986, and each move resulted in gains ranging from 13 percent to 20 percent a year later, Cleve Rueckert, an analyst for the Westport, Connecticut-based research and money management firm founded by Laszlo Birinyi, wrote in a note.

“While bears might point to the short-term overbought condition, the current rally is indicative of long-term strength,” Rueckert wrote.

The S&P 500 has surged 60 percent from its 12-year low of 666.79 on March 9 as companies reported better-than-expected earnings and increases in industrial production and housing starts suggest the economy is pulling out of the recession. Birinyi said on May 20 that the S&P 500 would climb to a record 1,700 within three years, a 66 percent gain from its current level. The index has jumped 18 percent since his forecast.

The firm has said the current advance most resembles one in 1982, when the index increased 20 percent in a year, Rueckert said in an interview.

‘Blowing Away’

“It’s hard to say that this is exactly what it’s going to be, based on a historical precedent, because markets are blowing away most of the historical precedence we’ve seen,” he said.

The S&P 500 has climbed from 20 percent below the 200-day moving average to 20 percent above it only three times since 1928, according to a note from Bespoke Investment Group. Using this comparison, the index dropped one, three and six months later. After a year, it was up twice, Bespoke said in a note.

“If the S&P 500 follows the historical script, the typical fourth quarter rally could face some stiff headwinds,” the research firm wrote.

In technical analysis, investors study charts of trading patterns and prices to forecast changes in a security, commodity, currency or index.

Temasek Likes Banks Even After Barclays, Bank of America Losses
Share | Email | Print | A A A



By Joyce Koh


Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Temasek Holdings Pte, the Singapore state investment company, said it’s still interested in investing in banks after losses on Bank of America Corp. and Barclays Plc triggered a record profit decline.

Temasek will target financial institutions that benefit from economic growth or mergers and acquisitions, Ho Ching, chief executive officer of the $122 billion company, said yesterday. The worst of the global meltdown has passed, she said.

“We look at some of these financial institutions as proxies for the economy as a whole,” Ho said. Temasek will also look at companies “where they may be doing a transformational deal, or where they themselves might be in transformation or at an inflexion point.”

Ho, 56, is shifting Temasek’s focus to Asia and other emerging markets after the company reported a 66 percent drop in profit in the 12 months to March 31 on losses from the sale of its stakes in Bank of America and Barclays, part of S$16 billion ($11.3 billion) of divestments last fiscal year.

As of March 31, 43 percent of the company’s investments were in Asia, 31 percent in Singapore, 22 percent in nations within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and 4 percent in Latin America.

“We believe that as Asia progresses, it will continue to de-risk,” Ho said. “We are also adding exposures to other growth regions like Latin America. Our portfolio exposure today is almost equally balanced between the more developed economies and the newer growth regions.”

Bank Stakes

Temasek, wholly owned by Singapore’s Ministry of Finance, has been an active investor in banks since its inception in 1974 when it took over the government’s 28 percent stake in DBS Group Holdings Ltd., the region’s largest bank by assets.

The investment company has shareholdings in eight major banks, including 19 percent of Standard Chartered Plc, the London-based bank that makes most of its earnings in emerging markets; 8 percent in ICICI Bank Ltd., India’s second-largest lender; and 68 percent of PT Bank Danamon Indonesia.

“They’ve been hurt by their investments in U.S. banks,” said Brayan Lai, a credit analyst at Calyon in Hong Kong. “Their investments in Asian banks are doing well. The low funding and improving economic environment is very conducive for the banks.”

While Temasek is comfortable in being overweight on Asia, there are risks of asset bubbles in the region, and the company “maintains full flexibility to shift our stance,” said Ho, who is also the wife of Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. There is investment potential in China and India in the long term, she added.

Watching U.S.

Temasek “did not anticipate the speed and ferocity” of last year’s global financial crisis, Ho said. “We were looking at the triggers in the wrong places and part of the reason is because we made the assumption that the developed economies, particularly the large economies, are well-managed and the regulatory risks are low, and hence we did not pay that much attention.”

The company now pays “a lot” of attention to “what is being said and done in the U.S.,” even though it does not have a large exposure to the country, Ho said.

Net income at Temasek declined to S$6.2 billion in the 12 months to March 31, down from a record S$18.2 billion a year earlier, Temasek said in its annual report yesterday. The value of investments, which plunged S$55 billion in the period, has since rebounded to S$172 billion as of July 31.

Along with Kuwait Investment Authority and China Investment Corp., Temasek was among sovereign funds that helped struggling U.S. investment banks replenish capital.

Clean Slate

In the first three months of this year, Temasek sold the 3.8 percent stake in Bank of America that it received after the U.S. company bought Merrill Lynch & Co. at a loss that may have totaled $4.6 billion. It also sold its 2 percent stake in London-based Barclays.

The company didn’t detail the size of those losses in its annual report. Shares of Bank of America have climbed 23 percent this year, after a 66 percent slide in 2008, while Barclays has more than doubled, following a 69 percent plunge last year.

“The timing of the purchase and sale of Bank of America/Merrill Lynch and Barclays could have been better for Temasek, but by exiting from these positions prior to March, Temasek can start its new financial year with a clean slate,” said Melvyn Teo, an associate professor of finance at Singapore Management University who holds a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University.

Good that Temasek has learned its lesson fast and slowly back on track.  The losses is a good lesson to learn that - The biggest and most developed country like USA could  fail regardless of its so call 'most-efficient system' and  world's most well managed fund managers.    In BBC's interview with Ho Ching, she said something like that : They had paid little attention to US movements thinking that it is most developed country and it should perform.  (They just took thing for granted!!)   But now,   though Temasek has reduced its portfolio in US investment, but, they are now more alert and  monitoring VERY closely the movements of US because this could also affect their investments elsewhere in the world....

Re: singpost -

I nearly fainted when i came to know some secondary school students posted letters without pasting STAMP!!  The reason being told was  they had never posted a single letter before cos they only communicated thru SMS, MSN, Email and webcam.  Am wondering if they mistook 'prepaid' envelope as ordinary envelope that can be posted without using stamp?

They had never bought stamp in their entire life too and dont know how much per piece is costing.  Is it still 22 cents?

p/s - Can Singpost sustain its business when communication just a click away?

Ok, Tks !! Noted.

Do you guys know why sometimes some counters will show buy queue or sell queue more than 10 bits or even at very rediculous price?  e.g. SMRT last done say 1.70 at 5pm.  but buy queue can show $1.50?  How is it possible to queue at a price of more than 20 bits? or Singtel is like sell queue $20.00?  I am unable to to so once you key more than 10 bits.



oinkoink1999      ( Date: 17-Sep-2009 16:39) Posted:

Hi niuyear,

              $1.65 seems to be a good entry point. I may buy and treat it like a FD, collect dividends and cash out i need the money. I'm contemplating to buy either comfort delgro or SMRT or even SingPost. Any one has suggestions? Please feel free to comment.

Cheers,

oinkoink



niuyear      ( Date: 17-Sep-2009 15:22) Posted:



Can buy now? will it go to $1.65 and below?

This trick has been used over and over and in many counters.

pharoah88      ( Date: 17-Sep-2009 16:43) Posted:



Today, Thursday: 17 September 2009, someone is using a Cornering Trick to Load UP SembMarine shares at lower prices. Check out the QUEUE TRACK and you will see the total picture.

At every price point, e.g. S$2.36 BUY QUEUE, computer is programmed to sell 1,000 shares every second at S$2.36, NON-STOP like machine gun sprays. 

While the SELL QUEUE is S$2.37, sellers in the QUEUE and other sellers NOT-IN-THE-QUEUE are influenced by FEAR to dump their shares at the lower price of S$2.36 instead of the SELL QUEUE price of S$2.37.

In this way, the BUY QUEUE at S$2.36 is cleaned up and the Next BUY QUEUE at S$2.35 will come up.  This time, the 1,000 shares per second sprays continues at S$2.35.  Other sellers get more FEAR and dump their holdings at S$2.35.  Soon the S$2.35 BUY QUEUE is wiped clean.

The same repeated at S$2.34 and then S$2.33 and so on.

This Trick creates FEAR in getting SELLERs to dump their shares at the BUY QUEUE price for evrey price point.  As each price point is WIPED CLEAN, the QUEUE BUY is buying at lower and lower prices.

After this guy has accumulated enough shares, then the market is allowed to return to normal for the price to RISE.

CHECK IT OUT.

DON'T be TRICKED into dumping your holding at lower and lower prices.

This is NOT SHORTING but one way to drive the prices down with FEAR so that the buyer gets to buy Large Quantity repetitively at the QUEUE PRICE which the buyer had QUEUED UP EARLIER.
