x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	US market closed huge *RED* last nite - Dow down 1.3% and Nasdaq down 2.2%. Wonder how bad STI will react today after .... Let's not panic yet. It's still November! US retail, durable goods, consumer confidence and existing home sales data to be released tonite, and if results are good ..... a Good & Fat rebounce tonite in US. --------------- MARKET SNAPSHOT Stocks end sharply lower on dollar, Wal-Mart Triple-digit Dow loss; Wal-Mart sales drop, GM falls as Ford seeks funds By Nick Godt, MarketWatch Last Update: 4:21 PM ET Nov 27, 2006 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks closed with heavy losses Monday, with the Nasdaq Composite forfeiting more than 2% of its value, after some positive preliminary results from the holiday shopping season kickoff were undermined by sluggish Wal-Mart Stores Inc. sales and dollar weakness. Google Inc. dropped almost 4% after a Barron's article over the weekend said the Internet-search giant's shares had an "exceedingly rich valuation." The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 158.38 points, or 1.3%, at 12,121.79, a bit above its intraday low of 12,110. Only three Dow components ended the session in positive territory. General Motors Corp. and Wal-Mart both lost 2.7%. Competitor Ford Motor Co. fell 4.2% after saying it would borrow about $18 billion by the end of 2006 to address its short- and medium-term needs, fund its restructuring and provide a cushion against the possibility of a recession. The S&P 500 fell 19 points, or 1.4%, to 1,381.95 and Nasdaq Composite dropped 54.34 points, or 2.2%, to 2,405.92. "This market has been going up since the end of July so we were short-term overbought, which tends to lead to dramatic down days," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Jefferies & Co. "You can point to Wal-Mart, to the weak dollar, energy costs, or Google, but at the end of the day this is just profit-taking," he said. Retailers were in the spotlight as early reports showed retail sales on "Black Friday" were 6% higher than last year at nearly $9 billion, according to Chicago-based researcher ShopperTrak RTC. --------------------- Google Inc. dropped almost 4% after a Barron's article over the weekend said the Internet-search giant's shares had an "exceedingly rich valuation."

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	This is quite sinister. It means more pple buying from the internet. Retail industry might be in a slow demise for now. In fact, i heard from the radio that singapore's retail increased the slowest in 3 years. People are spending less. The US Dollar is going to continue its sharp fall. Consequences is that US will spend less. May even cut their trips abroad this holiday season. If consumers feel that recession clouds are looming, they might turn to saving instead of spending. US fed cut will not help the dollar either. Fed will be forced to cut rates next year. People are starting to describe the US housing slump has not turned from a correction, to a free fall. This means that more people are starting to come to grips with reality. What this means for the DOW is only one way DOWN. Will foreign funds help to boost STI and other asian bourses? My guess is NO. Because our markets are mirror image of each other, and because fundamentally, the global economy isint healthy, we will see much selling.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 51 points to 12,229, while the S&P 500 fell 4 points to 1,396 and Nasdaq Composite eased 14 points to 2,445.

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	There are only two bull markets in history that have lasted longer than the current one, which turned 4 in October. The longest bull market in history was the tech-fueled 1990s boom, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac, which measures that bull from October 1990 through July 1998, nearly 8 years. The second oldest stretched from October 1923 through September 1929, about 6 years. While investors are hoping the current bull has legs, analysts keep calling for a correction, considering that the Dow is at record highs and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are at or near 6-year highs. Trade with caution. Be ready to sell when the trend turns.

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	Next week in US market .... loads of economic data in line. -------------------- TheStreet.com Staff Reporter 11/25/2006 8:31 AM EST A deluge of reports, including new and existing-home sales, consumer confidence and third-quarter economic growth data, will steer next week's market as the all-important holiday shopping season kicks into high gear. "A lot of the next week's data releases -- especially consumer confidence and personal income and spending -- have major implications for the entire holiday sales outlook," says Phillip Newhart, economist at Wachovia. "Black Friday data may drive trading on Monday morning, but it's more anecdotal and company-specific." The official start of the holiday spending season on so-called Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, started with a bang as shoppers flooded stores across the country in search of bargains. But the event was greeted by selling on Wall Street. Stocks headed lower in Friday's shortened trading session, sending blue chips lower for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 47 points on Friday to close at 12,280, leaving it down 0.5% for the week. The S&P 500 dipped 5 points to 1401 Friday and finished down fractionally for the week. The Nasdaq fell 6 points to 2461 Friday, but rose 14 points, or 0.6%, during the four sessions. Weakness in stocks on Friday was widely attributed to a drop in the value of the dollar, but it also reflected anxiety about a slowing economy and a broad slump in the U.S. housing market. --------------
