Singtel Bullish???

Don't worry, more to come...and hope you catch the next low as it goes lower by the day.

This is across the broad as sentiments is negative....

 

wah sian, miss the morning low

 

Profit was actually up 21% if we take away last year's exceptional gains. I think can buy and keep lah...abit by abit but dun forget to RUN when there's profit...Cheers!

 

SINGTEL REPORTS NET PROFIT DOWN ALSO

THAT WHY TODAY AGAIN DROP SO MUCH

 

You heng heng already, clearing at 3.88. I regretted didn't unload at 3.91 yesterday. Now Don't do anything funny now. STel will drop further next week, due to DJ panicky. Hence, hold the horse.

Latest ST at -113, NK -548 n HSI -1338(good figure for Hongkies:) Broker updated me.

 

Just when I was regret that I've sold Singtel too early on Monday at 3.88, well here comes another opportunity present...lets see if we could just load in a bit.

 

The announcement just that STEL made 4 % less than last yr the same priod. But no dividend announced. Strange leh. Wait for tonight final announcement. Not more than 8 cents. Cheers. 

 

last 10 mins liao

thought BBs will start dumping for today as DOWs fell last night..

Still waiting for a better price to go, now too high liao:)

 

If one understand Singtel's pattern, he'll notice that it tends to announce results before market reopen and it normally do not give dividends for 3Q earning. Thus, investor will face the music 1st thing in the morning tomorrow...Cheers!

 

SingTel closed at 3.85, how much you expect the Div announce tomorrow evening. It may gain a nominal amount tomorrow after market opens. But it will not surge on the CNY Eve. Hence, your choice, to download, if you bought earlier or to keep in your own risk.

BTW, the budget announcement on 15 Feb 08 may not help Telco and transport coy. But strange today SIA surged unexpectedly. Heng, did short it. Cheers.

 

StarHub lacks the muscles that SingTel has. StarHub's revenues are more local and SingTel's more Global (that means bigger and more expose to foreign-risks). Lately, SingTel is 'fighting' for a piece of pie with StarHub's CableVision locally (no matter how small it is, StarHub will feel the pain). In the long term, I think SingTel is a better play. Short term, both is about the same with StarHub having a slight edge due to their strong local income base (Broadbands, mobilephones, fixed-lines pakages etc...). Both give out attractive dividends and capital returns.

It is very interesting to see who will get the iPhone deal from Apple. Cheers!

 

Do anybody look at its competitors like StarHub?

Someone lately asked me what price is good to buy on SingTel, and I ranged 3.58-3.64 in reply, hope most of you got it last few days when it dipped to as low as 3.6. If you able to release it after lunch, then you have kopi or big ang bao already. I download 20 lots yesterday, due to investment stradegy, I still keep 10 lots for coming 5 Feb 08 result announcement. You may consider to grab some end of today or 4 Feb 08, if price is acceptable, price not higher than 3.72. Your choice. Good luck. Cheers.

 

Hmm, the price is now 3.83. I guessed I missed an ang bao.

 

Accordong to the chinese calendar the Rat has come in today  -  welcome to Mr.  RAT to bring us luck

 

That's right! The key word here is RUN. Just unload all my holdings on this counter at a profits. Waiting at sideline to load up again when prices are right! Good Luck to all!

 

Must give Mr Rat some 'face' when his year is approaching. I think they're keeping the 'Cats' away temporary for Mr Rat to come out to play! Try not eat too much cheese so that when the cats are out, at least you're still fit to run away. Cheers!

 

Monday more green? :)

 

I do hope the boat returns to take the rest!

Something very interesting caught my eye which I've posted @ www.bear-analysis.blogspot.com

Do take a look at how Singtel Bouces.... ha! It's recent behaviour just made it more obvious! Very resilient.
