x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	you cannot buy back with naked short. SGX will do it for you on T+4. if you attempt to buy back, situation become a bit more complicated. it is very different from buy first and sell later, contra play...br very careful. talk to your broker more..

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	naked shorttoo dangerous.. never do it.. how to borrow scrips, your broker will provide a list of stocks available... go ask him.. he needs to serve you. you are his client, his paymaster. If you do naked short, SGX will buy back on your behalf on T+4...at 2 bids higher than last traded price.. and will keep raising it....if it cannot get the stock at that price...

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Dear Mamasan, If I do naked shorts, will I lose my shirt? How do I do a naked short? How do I go about 'borrowing' a stock to short? Kindly enlighten this greenhorn. Thanks so much.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	I've never shorted a stock before. If I want to short a certain stock which I do not own and intend to hold it for say, 2-3 months, can I just do it?

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	yup... I like the "sniper" approach.. Choose few targets and fire very few bullets... but when you shoot.. make sure the hit-accuracy is very high. Better than machine gun approach... anyhow spray bullets but 80% miss target.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	cont...... will not make any difference to profits/losses especially if you are only doing two trades a month like keejang. More importantly, spot some good counters and make money.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	So far, not much differences in brokerage fees, give or take a few dollars per transaction below 50k, just like petrol prices and handphone rates.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Wow... surprised to see so many replies within few hours.. Oh.. i think i missed out that clause "only 1 rebate per holder"... from what i know, Citibank seems to be the lowest commission. details not so sure. But understand that the website may not be so user friendly.. anyone can comment?
