fyi internal talk from two fund houses/banks: this is the last leg of the bull. thereafter, it's a bear (what i had earlier said about the picture being clear long term--ie, 2008). tallies with all the tech picture and macro trends. this will be a rally on thin volume. shark eat shark situation already. so pls do know your own risk appetite, and play accordingly. if one cannot afford to play this nov-jan period, really, it is wiser to stay out and wait for the bear of 08, and then all the leisure to cherry pick the blues at PROPER valuations. If one has the funds, it's the best time to build up a solid portfolio for years, rather than punting all the time. simple historical logic: sti is overpriced. our book to price ratio is 2.6x. the average is 2.3x. in the last 11 Fed cuts of the past century, 2 occurred when our ratio was above the average. both times, after the first Fed cut, the market hits a new low. Wouldn't expect this time to be dif; just that the low will be delayed, because the Fed has learnt the value of successive cuts. bottomline: play til early/mid jan for capricorn effect, then get out. when a bear market is in, really, no such thing as a 'safe' stock. spore stocks are too dependent on foreign funds. so no matter how good a spore company is, if foreign funds have no money and pull out, then, the stock only has one way to go. doesn't take a genius to figure that out. caveat emptor applies as usual. let the market walk the talk. proof is in the practical, not the theoretical. |

Rate cut= economy bad= sell the rallies. Remember 2001 when rate cut started- the bear market lasted till 2003 |

It is interesting that sometimes you sell a share and the price shoots up immediately after that.... I've encountered that several times. My fil will say aiyoh why you sell so early... again I will tell him at least I make some $. Any $ make is a gain although it is really kopi $. After the emotional upheaval over the past weeks with the dow jones and stock losing much of its value and seeing my portfolio increasing by $8k today, I am happy to regain my capital in some situation. Depending on dow tonite, probably some slight rally till 11th Dec? then after that the excitement dies down. Or with yr end coming and all the window dressing, there are some hope in that. |

hi loyfam, good thinking, and i am quite sure the mkt will react like what you said in a few days time; ie some will sell to keep cash. That is the time you buy on dip! As for me, i am too greedy, already started accumalating yesterday. Best wishes |

Joyfam88... :) hahaha... this is a phenomenon as old as the stock market itself!!! ie. When stocks rise, all fear and worries instantly disappear, and people won't sell... When stocks fall heavily, great nail-biting and hair-pulling and trembling fear is experienced ... The stock market is truly an arena of pure emotional stuff... hehehe...  Why not wisen up by getting this "great guidance manual" ? |

Personally I am still concerned if the increase today is sustainable as the Dow future don't seem to be giving a good indication. I am wondering if I should make use of this opportunity when some of the shares start to breakeven and cash in on that to keep cash. As it's better to make $0.10 than to lose $. |

One month ago I urged everyone to sell on strength. Now i think it's time to Buy on dip. If STI can hold on to it's near 3% gain till closing bell with high Vol, i think this will signal a cul-de-sac of the bear. |
