Hi hi ...

Glad to see that you are back. Hope you are fully rested from your trip!

The weekend is too short to go overseas. I will come back more tired than rested.....

KLCI is expected to go down after this season; their analysts have said that it's "the tail end of a relief rally in a bear market.". China/HSI will likely be supported due to the Olympics (late jul/aug onward). So this period remains to be seen. You're likely going to see mixed markets. STI is kinda brainless, in that we just follow external news. the DJIA will be the lead indicator for now. be careful of STI 3,300. that'll be the pivot point. whether up or down remains to be seen. if it does go up tho, can expect a pullback, cos the 3,400-3,500 levels is forecasted to hit only at 3-4Q of the year: ie, the rally is too fast too soon. if there is a pullback, then, time to start going long term liao. just my opinions. cheers. :)

This book normally retails at abt $160+ @ Borders, but 2 weekends ago they had a promo - Any new Book, off 30%, 1 per customer! My wife knew that i have been eyeing it for some time now. Normallly it is out of stock and never/seldom on sale. My luck x 2.... it was on sale and available!! She called made a reservation and got it for me, as my B'day gift.... i intend to read it front to back - back to front and digest it.

I know that Singaporegal swears by it and it is her "Bible"... must be worth every cent that it cost.

Thanks DnApeh!

Actually, I don't really like to teach trading because we all have very different risk profiles and trading philosophies. What works for me may not work for you. The best advice I can give you is to find a trading/investing strategy (regardless of whether it is TA or FA or both) that works for you.

nice try ..... !!!
