Markets are likely to do some selling today for the first half. However, there is a pretty strong possibility of recovery by either end of today or by tomorrow morning. I'm expecting selling pressure from Shanghai, and as a result, HSI, but there is no definitive downtrend as HSI and Nikkei are in fact still within an uptrend channel. Uptrend too for STI unless it closes below 3187 today. In fact, the market open and close are likely to be pretty close to each other - we may see a doji today. So, don't take excessive directional positions. |

Turmoil in markets is easing, says FED Chief. Mr Bernanke. But situation is far from over. "Ültimately, markets participate themselves must address the fundamental sources of financial strains - through deleveraging, rasing new capital and improving risk management". Investors is still plug by high oil concern as oil surge to nearly US127.00 dollars which can dammed STI Index marching solidly upward. Do trade cautiously this week. |

DJIA must close above 12788 tonight. Better still, above 12800; otherwise, the uptrend formation attempt of the last 2 DJIA daily candlesticks is deemed to have failed (i.e. uptrend channel failure). Let the markets speak for themselves. Remain nimble in the trades. |

guys in this forum, as mentioned before. market is still in ranging mode. buy at support and sell at resistants wont go wrong much and wont cost u to lose your pants. those that sell today or take profit, good for u. just remember dun trust whoever posted here even thou his ranking is high doesnt mean he is good trader. he maybe another jokers here to try make living selling ebooks or entertaining others. especially dun trust their prediction or so call TA analysis. Look to experienced traders like elfinchide, shplayers, singgal 's postings. those jokers post here trying to grab attention, when they "guess" correct, they are loud. but when they are wrong? they keep quiet but poor ppl lose money becoz of these idiots egoistic losers.. dun let them have their ego boosted at your expense ... |

ETF is a very good alternative of unit trust due to the low management fee and not up-front comission charge. It also provide good a diversify porfolio of blue chip stock, if you think Singapore economic is good. However it is only good for long term investment which > 5years to 10 years. (you will definitely made money) If you thinking of short-term better play individual stock with good technical analysis on good fundamental stock lor. |

Buying into ETF for long term is definitely a good idea, its no secret as many investment guru have been recommended it over the years. BUT, the keys here are timing....timing....timing! Take for eg. STI-ETF, u should have went in for long when STI is ~27-2800 at least >30% away from its all-time-high. Now is still not too late if u intend to hold long long. Just my worthless opinion! |

Warren Buffett lately recommended to buy ETF leh?? How ah. STI ETF fine??? I bought Shenton Trift Unit Trust(10 blue chips in component stocks) in late 2006 and I dumped it mid 2007 and made tour's money for Hong Kong and South Korea for famlies. That time share market soared like no business leh?? So now how??? Needs sifus advice leow. |

See, AK just back fr kopi thiam, as no eye for Pm market. But just took a look on the market, seems not that bad leh, SingTel, Kepcorp...... OK, AK buy Crude Oil down. Buy high for SIA or transport related coy(high end one better play, esp for contra) and low for SPC. For SIA 5-6 bids will do. SPC, says full 10 bids, just to play safe. When Q, 1707-1715, your broking houses call alrdy. If tonite CO up, then withdraw the Q 2morow b4 market opens loh. Watch out for Kepcorp, as sifus posted earlier. Its really heartstriking counter leh. Heng heng still holding some. Cheers. |
