* Index down 0.2 percent, support at 3,000 eyed in afternoon
* Yangzijiang falls 2 pct on concerns slowing growth may hit orders
SINGAPORE, July 14 (Reuters) - Singapore shares slipped 0.2 percent by the midday on Thursday in choppy trade, as Moody's warning that it may downgrade its credit rating for the U.S. spurred fund outflows from Asian equities into safe-haven assets. By the midday break, the Straits Times Index (STI) < .FTSTI> was down 7.15 points at 3,081.27. The total value of shares traded in the morning session was S$486.3 million, down from S$558.4 million on Wednesday.
The STI is expected to find support at 3,000, but the afternoon session may see the index extend its losses, traders said. " The market is running out of postive catalysts. There's still the fear that investors will sell into any rebound," said Carey Wong, an investment analyst at OCBC Investment Research. The risk of a lower credit rating for the U.S. overshadowed Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's suggestion, in testimony to Congress, that the central bank could provide more stimulus if the economy weakens further. " Although the U.S. markets ended higher overnight, stock index futures dropped sharply after that, suggesting that optimism in the U.S. isn't strong enough to carry through to this region," Wong said. With the lack of positive news, many investors are switching into defensive plays like telecommunications firms that have higher dividend yields, Wong said. StarHub

Investors will never sell/short...
    Investors are nett buyers...
          They only buy when it is cheaper
                  and cheaper. But to be an investor,
                      one must be rich in the first place.
                              If not rich, must trade, because
                                        must prevent big loss from occurring...

For those follow my suggestion, you will not be able to short as the sembMar did not drop till 5.12. Today the graph has changed, no clear sign on bull or bear, so do not short. Will advise again when there has clear signal.
Just no fun, investment counter now becomes trading counter. I delay my buying programme.
