x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Later Tuesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy will meet to discuss measures announced last month to contain the sovereign debt crisis and protect the euro. "If they come out with some sort of plan, that could have a positive impact on the market," said Hinnenkamp. "But if nothing comes of the meeting, that could be a major driver to the downside in the market." I think turn green or red in Dow really depends on this piece of news.. Let me book a flight now to go there n give them a wake up call... Fingers burning Liao... Can't sleep.. If tomolo lose again.. I swear I quit stocks Liao! Haha

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	cimb has a web based version for mobile trading.... no app though xing78      ( Date: 16-Aug-2011 21:18) Posted: I used the Android version (with POEMS) and it seems to work fine. This is solely for CPF investment only. For Cash Trade I use strictly CFD account due to the flexibility to switch between both long and shorts plays + keeping open positions overnight for shorts play. Too bad, they do not have mobile apps for CFD trade at the moment. Does anyone know of any local brokerage house that provide mobile apps for trading CFD?     timqoo      ( Date: 16-Aug-2011 19:29) Posted: like this very scary. can only buy/sell. no withdraw. i believed you check with their support? what's their explanation?

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	The rating agencies are bias with their ratings. The collapsed of Lehman Bros was a good example on how bias they can be. IPO listing of Man U in SGX, Are you kidding us? If they would to list in Asian, Hong Kong would probably be the first choice.  RachelG      ( Date: 16-Aug-2011 22:31) Posted: I have serious doubts about how these datas are generated. Anyway, alot of positive datas coming out from US now. 1) Fitch reaffirm US AAA credit rating 2) Home building results looks positive 3) Wal mart profit up 4) Industrial output increased. 5) Man Utd intend 1 billion IPO is SGX end of year.... Good news of SGX if that happens. Sure attract alot of attention to sgx.

Down-ward move already confirmed by the first 3 candle-sticks (on the 10 mins time-frame).  Sgshares      ( Date: 16-Aug-2011 21:39) Posted: ya man...maybe tonight US turns green and STI up tmr again.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Thanks for your advice. Probably I will try that out whenever I take a vacation.  In the mean time, I just have to be more careful and make use of the CFD ProTrader to set a stop loss when I enter a trade. I probably made a mistake for being overly confident that market will hold flat till closing. Markets are really unpredictable.  Anyway, I only recorded a lower profit and was quite lucky for the day.

After lunch come back see all red, so need to double short to cover my long losses during my lunch break. Now I know why SGX abandon lunch break, coz the BB's using machines to trade and machines no need to eat. All My shorts covered by 4.50pm coz I am clueless how US will react tonight and due to a lot of rumours on M& A deals that are on-going in the Tech sectors (example: Google buyout on Motorola Mobility) that can easily pull the negative sentiments back to positive.  Trade with caution. Wish everyone Good Luck :p
