We are on the road to recovery. Cheers!

See n read what this mean, got some money can boost liao. Straits Times newspaper earlier this month mention a top civil servent got top $$$ to spend...!!!

"Taking five weeks leave from work is not as difficult as one thinks. Most times when you are at the top, you think you are indispensable. But if you are a good leader who has built up a good team, it is possible,"

His article raised eyebrows given the five-week course for three at the prestigious French cooking school cost more than S$46,000

"Anyone who has any sense of empathy for the average working person struggling to survive would not be splashing his story of luxurious holidays in full spread in a national newspaper," said Andrew Loh on a Singaporean discussion website .

Tan could not be reached for comment & has not said anything publicly about the response to his article.

"How long does each of us take to earn even half that amount that Mr. Tan spent on his lessons? And how many of us can afford to be away for five wks on paid vacation without getting sacked from our jobs?" said Eugene Yeo, senior writer at the political website, The Wayang Party Club of Singapore.

Some online forum users said Tan could decide what to do with his money, but still felt he was being boastful. "Agreed that what he does with his money and time is his business but to brag about it really somethings to think about...

I really hope that the market will not be stuck at current level for years. On the other side, if it stuck at current level for years, I can always load more in and wait through this period.

From the news, we can see that he is already working and trying very hard to reverse the situation.

Invest within your means and timing is not that important anymore. Not need to guess when bottom or not and vice versa. I think to go back to 1200-1400 is quite difficult now. Things are stabilising. Only problem is the economy only. Obama looks like quite a clever guy. His team is quite balanced and he priority is getting the economy moving again. Normally, lawyers make good politicians based on historical data ( don't have to look far. LOL.). Never know, he might just turn the economy around with his policies and charisma.

No distinct pre-CNY rally so far. Can looking forward to 20 n 22  ds mth.

Next Mon, would be not a good start for Nikkie, STI n HSI. Take a look at Nikkie early d am, n weigh STI while market opens. Guess, STI will not over react to last Fri DJ down of -143.38. A bit worry if HSI pant down while market opens. If that so, its blessing for disguise, STI will follow suit,then u hv to make your own decision whether its a good bargain buy to match d coming good news.

Above no call for anything, but just for sharing.

 

Bottom line is holding power... the market might stuck at the current level for years ... personally view bottom already done when intraday hit below 1500... btw , I'm not whatsoever fortune teller... just make a guess only ..

My view this monday maybe in green as STI already drop straight 4 days... time to bargain again... btw I'm not what fortune teller just make a guess only !

 

Foreign high-powered guy in the life-line dept of Sales & Markting will bode well for Chartered.

 

Market will fall early this Monday morning and then move up in the afternoon.  Maybe this is the time to BUY as the next many days onwards will focus on US new President & S'pore Budget. May dump in some bullets in the morning. Eyeing on Blue Chips.

 

To all , invest in with your comfortable level ... not listening to those fortune tellers which can see when is height or bottom ... ??

 

Look at the charts of some of the stocks and from STI of 1475 till now, the chart shows a uptrend with a higher low. When they start showing a lower low then have to be careful. See the chart not the news

 

Market can crash all they want. Assuming everthing normal, the fact is stock cannot be 0c and each stocks belongs to different class. Those in BMW category are very unlikely to drop into the Toyota category. Since we all know where the bottom price for each stock is when STI hit 1475, it is time to slowly accumulate at different prices.

 

Most of the stocks reached their bottom when STI hit 1475. You are unlikely to get those prices again. I would definitely buy 20 - 30c from the bottom when STI reached 1475 if  they ever go to that level again.

Today, fear has gripped the market after investors saw the slide owing to profit taking.  Everyone started selling, even those who are are losing.  This will always happen, but it will at least indirectly regulate the market

Thing to get worse before it get better...but this crises is different...broadbase..it could take at least 3 years if worse 7 years..to check just look at the data for US economy..

If this big guy not up..the world cannot sell..this guy got to comsume big..China and India want to sell..they comsume like the US...9.5 trillion..China and India some 1.5 trillion..

Both India and China must consume by up to twice their current level to offset for the lose in the US...can they???
