here is the latest CNN money news

Stocks keep riding high

Stellar Cisco earnings jumpstart stocks and cooling credit fears keep major gauges higher.


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Subsiding credit market concerns and upbeat earnings from tech bellwether Cisco sent stocks higher Wednesday.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index (up 45.69 to 2,607.29, Charts) led the charge, gaining nearly 1.7 percent two hours into the session.The Dow Jones industrial average (up 96.33 to 13,600.63, Charts) rose about 0.6 percent while the broader S&P 500 (up 15.78 to 1,492.49, Charts) rose 1.1 percent.

 

bunbun, dare not make any further comments openly as current market very unfathomable.. and i just a noobie in TA, so dare not act like a pro.. hope you can understand.

 

good (early) morning bunnie... you also on the night watch?

 

heh RT, your macd referring to the dow big picture or the sti big picture ah?

 

In my noobie TA point of view, I hope that the MACD for the "bigger picture" will be a lagging indicator so that retailers can run road soon (if there a need to). As it will takes quite a "huge force" for the MACD to "truely reflect" the movements since the big drop. So hope the "dreadful masquerade" (if any) won't happen too fast, too furious.. Btw, some "consolation" news in the pipeline as Warren just bought "heavily" again for the past few days..

 

Mani.....my pal....;)

I quote:

Yup... we are all analysts in some way or another... :)

Looks like the bear trend is established now...

Strange....indeed! For a non-believer in anything...you sounded so believing....why?....;)

 

 

Mani...my pal....;)

I quote:

"I don't believe anything at all, you see (it is not good to just 'believe', unconditionally, in anything)...

But judging from the way stocks have fallen in the last 2 weeks, it is no joke this time!...

More so because many are emboldened by the Feb/Mar falls and the subsequent rally, to buy in, and expecting the same prompt big rally after that fall...

But alas, this is not to be this time round,  as you can see by the scary magnitude of the falls.

Further, if you look at many stocks' charts, then you will feel the composite market's picture is rather bad still at this time....

Such wisdom...no wonder we always like to ganbei...;)

So u are also one of those who believe that this time is "No different" and ie. Not "This time is Different"...Am I right my dear pal....?

 

Morning posted thoughts for day, so now thoughts for dreaming (My own personal views / opinions only, not an inducement to do any buy / sell calls / actions, thanks)

 

Now the market requires one to be extremely "flexible" like chameleon so thus my posts below

If bear will to roam "longer" in singapore markets, who will "lose out" the most?? My views (from a business perspective)- Brokerage houses and Investment banks, why? BBs can afford to pay any losses if any, but what abt those average guy / gal in the streets? These retailers got many ways to choose from- installments, bankruptcy, jump river (choy), take loans and so on.. Bt ultimate thing is broking houses and investment banks will lose out a lot in business sense if bear will to roam longer.. As (in my own opinions), i think there are more longists than shortists ba..

 

If really wanna catch people this time round,  I afraid the masquerade will be made "bigger & enticer" for more retailers to jump in.. Hope that BBs, "star dealers / proprietary dealers" can let water a bit.. Or else retailers will be in for it a big time..

 

 

 

This is for my old pal...manicam, who must have seen some manigo recently.....;)....

When the market is being KO-ed by the bear

 

Every investor has to beware

 

It is no point to curse and swear

 

We just have to learn to bear

 

Behave like a devil may care

 

To live through the nightmare

 

Otherwise stop playing stock and share

 

Exit the market, take a holiday somewhere

 

But for those who dare and are prepared

 

To take the rollercoaster ride to God knows where

 

Today the market has given us some silverware

 

As our national birthday gift to lighten our despair

 

Lest hope our future will be bright and beyond compare

 

Where our market will have more punches to KO the bear.

 

 

Hi Mani,

You hit nil on coffin again. 

 

eh yea snoothie, am at the pt where i think it's better to keep light scalping than to hold long term.

and sigh. yes manikam, despite today's rise and the crazy dow going above 13,500, i still think the correction has only begun. :( concur with ya abt the composite pic. esp since a lot of counters--and i mean the blues--actually cut below their 90day MACD before going up today. what i'm worried abt is that the fall is very steep. march 07 prices. >~<

plus, contra trap is still in place. T+5 is monday. remains to be seen. of course, i hope it'd go up, i'm vested after all. but sigh. :((((

wonder if i can kb my stocks up. hmph.

k gonna go zzz...nites ppl.

 

Many many people get burnt badly because they think of fundamentals, and forget or refuse to sell.

Thus, they lose out.

Good fundamentals or not, stocks will fall when people sell...period. That is when 'loyal' peoples' money is lost!
