x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Maybe they can't accept the fact they miss the recovery boat or eyesore when others are making some $$$. Market is full of deception points. That's why we have FA & TA experts to reason those speculations. Aiya...HSI losing gains already...STI might change direction soon...

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	seems to have a lot of "forumers" who are trying to talk down the market using the same old story when STI keeps recovering from 3000 to 3400 points....funny...maybe they are shortists, waiting to buy low when they miss the recent recovery, genuine advisers who are rare,etc...lucky Market is the BEST JUDGE and objective one :)

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	US Housing data is out. Many unsold homes. Construction under pressure. Just under 3 million potential defaulters of Home Loans in US. It will shave 0.8% of GDP growth of the US economy. Many Hedge funds, pension houses and investors will be hit by the redemptions of CDOs. A drop in interest rate: - US dollars will come under selling pressure. Significantly, imported goods and services become more expensive. Consumer Confidence Index will be hit by this. Well, recession seems imminent for US economy ..... months of down turn..... Cash is the commodity to hold, not-US denominated currency like YUAN, Euro.....

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Too many stale bulls with huge losses trying to get out. Cutting interesr rates will not solve the problem of unsold homes and reposssed homes .It would be worse if rentals drop and even worse if you cannot rent the vacant homes. Markets will drift downwards for weeks to come. Cash is king even if the US dollar depreciates as deflationary pressures build up-liquidity trap.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	still the same advise since 22th August...the market is the best judge and let it WALK THE TALK...good luck   Posted: 22-Aug-2007 16:44 x 0 x 0 * Alert Admin Surprisingly, the market choose to move up in the next three months (August, September and till 8th/15th October to be confirmed the exact date in october)....while there will be some consolidation on the way, it will be "higher up" rather than "lower low" at least till 8th/15th October ...i would advise to buy in the rebound for the next two months...good luck and it is good to know that certainty is back to the market

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Technically, we are now in the progress of a wave B rebound, which I believe is ending soon. But remember the oncoming C wave will come eventually. If this wave hit below the mark set a week plus back(on that scary Friday), then it will be a much bigger hit towards worldwide market. If it did not hit below A wave, the damage will not be as great.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Wow, scotty. You are really sharp. The index is really wrong today. If only during big sell down and the index do not reflect, then maybe the market will not panic so much. SINGAPORE, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Singapore's stock market suffered its second technical glitch in less than month on Wednesday when the reading of its blue-chip Straits Times Index <.STI> did not accurately reflect actual moves in share prices. The latest problems at Singapore Exchange , Asia's third-largest bourse, come after Singapore traders had reported technical problems such as delays in prices and trade executions on Aug. 17, a day of particularly heavy trading and share price volatility. "The STI Index computation may not reflect fully the movement in its components. Market participants are advised not to rely on the figure until further notice," the exchange operator said in a statement. "Market makers for structured warrants on STI Index may not be quoting prices on those issues," it added. Dealers had noted the disparity between gains in index heavyweights such as SingTel , Singapore's biggest listed firm, and the index gain of less than half a percent after market open on Wednesday at 9 a.m. (0100 GMT). Bank stocks, which carry a weighting of 30 percent in the index, were also higher with DBS Group Holdings up 2.5 percent, United Overseas Bank 1.5 percent stronger, and OCBC 1.2 percent higher. "The STI should be up much more than that -- the banks are up so much," a trader at a local stock broker said. SGX in February halted its derivatives trading system for several hours after it encountered technical problems. Since then there have been a few other incidents. In March, traders had problems accessing its ageing Singapore Exchange Securities Order Processing System, or Sesops.
