Start of wave C? i don't think so. People still very scared of buying. Start of wave C likely to be when everyone is super-bullish. Also, 2962 not yet reached. But then, if start of wave C, also good, although short term many people will lose money, in the longer run, STI will super-cheong. On the whole, does not look like start of wave C yet to me. Wave B looks like got one more leg of up after this temporary down.

I agree. This time is 50/50. Too many reasons for funds to sell into the end of year - simply because that is the least resistance path to take. Too many risks and doubts at this stage, especially worsen by those arabs. If u r a find manager, would you risk losing your hard earned profits this year on the next 3-4 weeks for a santa claus rally? I would rather be worrying about where I want to go for holiday destination! On other hand, late funds might want to make that extra figure to close a good looking book and will continue to buy in from the selldown tomorrow. But what are the probabilities ? To make not much for the year or to take the risk of losing more?

I've been in stock market not long got myself burn before paying tuition fee learning more each day. Many forget to position themselves if they are invester or trader? A trader take advantage in news like this Dubai case and last Subprime matter. Smart one makes alot of quick money. Unfortunately many not becasue they are not smart, it is they are too smart to move the wrong direction. As an invester, then will be holding power and firm mind. Do your homework pick good counters and you will get more than saving interest. Making big money in short time is like going to casino, so your chance is 50 50 or may be less than 50? What do you guys think? |

My wish for tomorrow is that all the STI investors will trade wisely and don't rush into panic selling. If they do than we will be able to buy in cheap cheap some counters

Relax Bon3260, the more -ve news u read the more -ve your thinking will be, conversely, the more +ve the news u read, the more +ve u will be. Tomorrow all will see blood on the street...especially the first 15-30min of trading, very likely u will not have time to react too. The good thing is u have a choice to average your holdings, if your counters all fundamentally strong, provided u have the means. Just rest assure the u won't lose $18k tomorrow. | ||||

hi cross stitch...i hear say hedge fund are really to short the mrkt..but i hope equally those fund will support so sti will not drop big... there are still alot of liquidity on the side line...but becos the rally is tired and ppl are very cautious,,,as it is months without a neat correction...but we know whenever mrkt down , there are buying,,,but not that strng like in months back.. i wonder what will make them come back into the mrkt.. we are in hard time...i thk if not rally then we better join in and side line till next yr..hust look at the dollar..and vol..both sti and dow..to be scare.. but if you got holding power and take longer view...just relax , dont worry..we see good time again. hope there is a rally soon for us to profit a little back and get out.. |

This is a follow up ... u said ..wow..i lost 50% how to cut??my money gone???...no...if u dont cut it will go down another 50%.. now 50% down ..u need 100% to break even...but another 50% down if dont cut....u need 300% to break even... which is more likely to materialise.??? 100% or 300% ??? now u know why ppl alway lose money...becos they did not cut.. i cut for recent correction..i lose close to 20% of the profit i make since April..imagine i stay..i thk 80% profit gone... if mrkt go down by 20 to 30%...u definitely got chance to buy a stock which will easily double...to enable u to break even faster..or triple which u end up profit.. so remember...use stop limit

Hi all, are you expecting STI to be down for a few days? My personal feeling is that there will be panic selling tomorrow and after that the market will pick up from there. What is your view? Thks
