Reuters  –  3 hours ago...Wall Street retreats but bull market still alive....



  " The advance we've had so far this year is not sustainable, and the market is taking a little breather," said Terry Morris, senior equity manager for  National Penn Investors Trust Company  in Reading, Pennsylvania.

" The market could easily come down 3 to 5 percent and still be within the context of an improving economy and continue to work higher," he said.

STI is technically at end of wave3 and beginning of wave 4.

The USA Presidential Election is to be held on 6 Nov 2012 (Tues),so before that, the stocks will be at least supported.

The STI may reach 3200 around June, and may go higher up due to DJ. After the election, watch out.

Stocks extended their losses Thursday, with the Dow down almost 100 points, as worries over a slowdown in China and the euro zone trumped a handful of better-than-expected economic reports.

Nearly two-thirds of institutional investors expect Portugal or Ireland to restructure its public debt, according to a survey by Barclays Capital of 700 institutional clients.

Four in ten think that at least one country will leave the euro-zone this year. That’s down from almost half in Barclay’s December survey but still a level Barclay’s describes as “uncomfortably high.”

Written by David Song, Currency Analyst...

Euro continued to give back the advance from earlier this mth amid the weakening outlook for the region, an analyst at Standard and Poor’s fired warning shots against Italy, stating that the region continues to face ‘very large financial requirements,’ and went onto say that the biggest risk surrounding the region ‘would be to fall into the trap of complacency’ as European policy makers become increasingly reliant on monetary support. As the sovereign debt crisis continues to dampen the outlook for the euro-area.

ECB may continue to carry out its easing cycle in 2012, and we may see the bearish sentiment underlining the single currency gather pace over the near-term as Euro policy makers struggle to shore up investor  confidence.

European periphery continue to face high financing costs, but argued that the group should focus on increasing the credibility of the firewall as Italy and Spain remains ‘too big to be saved.’

    Believe it or not, correct or not, taken from the web,  the big question is whether it is a minor correction or major one or worst one ?  only time will tell, lol.

    /Dennis Slothower  specializes in using technical analysis to help understand the market.And according to Marketwatch.com, Dennis Slothower “was one of the very few advisors to make money during the Crash of 2008.”  -- Marketwatch.com, June 6, 2011

    And now he’s issuing another dire warning.  His technical indicators suggest that the market manipulation we’ve seen over the last several months is about to come to an end.  This correction could begin as soon as  March 31st– so it’s important that you take action now to prepare yourself...//

    'Worst is over' in Eurozone debt crisis: ECB chief Draghi

    FRANKFURT - The worst is over in the eurozone debt crisis, but risks remain and it is up to governments to resolve them, European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi said in a newspaper interview Thursday.

    " The worst is over, but risks remain," Draghi told the daily Bild, Germany's most widely-read newspaper.

    " Key indicators such as inflation, the current account balance and above all budget deficits are all better than, say, in the United States," the Italian central banker said.

    /Wall Street Journal  -  2 hours ago  /The number of Americans applying for initial unemployment benefits fell to a four-year low last week, a fresh sign of strength in the labor market.Separately, the index of leading economic indicators in February posted the fifth increase in a row suggesting growth at least into the summer, according to data released Thursday....//

    It has nothing to do with the 'colour' of chips (stocks). You are playing the stock market.

        Investors (ie.long term traders and holders) and others play the market, all are playing the market.

              To play the market properly, you have to understand the market's nature.

                      The market is not your friend. It is a risky place - it does not recognise any 'color'... Smiley.

    Hi iPunter master. 

      Yup. I agree to what you have said and it makes perfect logical sense. 

    I'm just too problematic :( If I don't cut the loss I'm left with a problem...If I cut the loss I'm opening another new problem...If I re-invest the money it could or might create another problem.

    I guess what I can do now is to put my money in more solid companies like bluechips..and exactly this is what I'm doing now.  


    iPunter      ( Date: 22-Mar-2012 17:47) Posted:



    You should not be opening any more positions before your present open trades are settled...

        Believe it or not, as long as you have one counter in open position, you are at risk.

            In other words, you are already having a problem at hand. So if you open some

                  more position/s, you are creating a new problem/s for yourself, in addition to the

                    existing problem, ie. adding more risk to yourself. Like you said, you did not cut

                                loss and thus have not disposed of the old problem yet...  Smiley

Some of the counters that I'm still holding now have not break even   yet and that was the time where I did not understand the meaning of cut loss. I'm trying to build up some profit to cover these losses and sell them off once I could break even.

    Hi alooloo. 

    Yup, I have definitely thought of it before but have yet to execute...lol. 

    I think I'll keep some of the counters that have plunge together with STI when it was at 3400. I believe these counters could still climb when STI returns to its glorious days..

    There are also some counters that I doubt would return to the price that I have bought. It is really difficult for me to cash out before I could profit from some other counters and break even the loss. I guess this is my amateur thinking : )  

     


    alooloo      ( Date: 22-Mar-2012 17:34) Posted:



    errr... i think cut loss is you know you loss, and start to cash out and try to make a better judgement next round

    if you still wait for break even by holding... that is the opposite of cut loss... 

    sometimes, it is not worth holding unless the one you hold is a company with very good fundamental..... imagine if down 50%, the stock need to gain 100% to get you back to break even...

    what is the odd for the stock to gain 100%... if odd is good, then you can continue to hold...

I don't hope to catch the lowest possible price that the correction could offer, as long as it is a reasonable price and I can make minimal profit and that will be good enough.
