not necessary also la...during the recent weekend (forgot its Sat or Sun)..watch ChannelNewsAsia those "Money Mind" related programmes...they seem quite positive about bottoming out and a good outlook leh...there are economists, analysts still on opposing views though...but at least now is better than weeks-months ago whereby it was all 100% gloomy...now there's some light lo
Ok now, windows dressing is over. Stocks going down trend again.

Definitely out of the ordinary. This is one reason why I don't really bother with analyst reports. The report sometimes comes out AFTER the BBs have taken up position. Too late for retail investors.

Totally agree with you. The best way to determine BB movement is to see overall trade volumes on individual counters. Look out for unusual spikes.

Well, never underestimate the power of BB / fund manager.....they can raise the tide and if the crowd were to follow....wah la....the market move higher...
However, on hindsight, do trade with care as the tide can flow down anytime and that's where the so called investors hold the baby... |

4-4-5 means that the financial qtr is made up of 13 weeks. The 1st and 2nd mth consist of 4 weeks, and the 3rd mth is 5 weeks. This is to enable a monthend cut-off on Sunday. So, the quarter may not coincide with calendar monthend. Usually this 4-4-5 calendar is adopted by semiconductor industry.

Nothing to do early in the morning, lets have a good guess. 4-4-2 Manchaster United and 4-4-5 is rather Thu of the last week of the month. Cheers.

I don't know but in the accounting world sometimes they go on a 4-4-5 calendar iso last day of the month.
not too sure how these managers behind the window dressing work exactly...hmmm...but y they buy in till Friday? i thought 31 March is on next Monday?
Thanks all for responding.
But my key question was, will they usually buy in till tomorrow (friday)? Or by now, they should have done that. Just wondering the further potential of those shares I am holding where I am trying to exit.

Did you get an answer to your Q yet?
Had a chance to read the"STI cross 3000" thread on window dressing? (26 Mar 08 @ 19:40 & 19:49)
Maybe can try asking your Q there?
Thanks guys for your replies.
I gather that means increasing Comp A's share price, will help Fund Manager B's window dressing, not Comp A's.
Near the end of a lousy quarter, fund managers may window dress to make the funds' performance appear not that bad.

A strategy used by mutual fund and portfolio managers near the year or quarter end to improve the appearance of the portfolio/fund performance before presenting it to clients or shareholders. |
| |
 |
Performance reports and a list of the holdings in a mutual fund are usually sent to clients every quarter. To window dress, the fund manager will sell stocks with large losses and purchase high flying stocks near the end of the quarter. These securities are then reported as part of the fund's holdings.
Another variation of window dressing is investing in stocks that don't meet the style of the mutual fund. For example, a precious metals fund might invest in stocks that are in a hot sector at the time, disguising the fund's holdings, so clients really have no idea what they are paying for.
Window dressing may make a fund appear more attractive, but you can't hide poor performance for long |
