bb is licking their wound due to sub prime loan, probably wound dressing than window dressing.
as i said yesterday, take profit before sti close. for those who had missed, i still remind them to take profit this morning. for those who think the sti can uptrend further, i wish you luck. for past 3 trading days, sti uptrend and tomorrow is t+3 and force selling may happen.
I think for certain stocks out there it is a time to buy
Many have already 'taken' their 'profits'...
The biggies are stepping back for them to 'take'...
Then they will be back with a veangence when those are shaken out of the system...

Profit should have been taken yesterday instead.
Looking at the volume done over the increase in prices, do you think u are trading on thin sheet of ice?
So what profit to take when the market is down (minus nickyng)?
we are now 1.5 trading days away from the year 2008... stepping into another NEW YEAR with NEW SuRpRises

From what I understand, "Window Dressing" usually happens when fund managers close their portfolio's accounts. Thus prefering that customers do not see their bad investments which are the counters that lost money for the portfolio, they would get rid of these and thus make the portfolio appear more attractive. ...

"window dressing" is when those fund managers pump up the share prices so as to make their portfolio look good before the year comes to an official close...it's all about the "image"
Ops.. two more person..
Singaporegal.. though never chat wif her in tis forum.. but did saw her postings.. Great..

In those days, I used to lap up a certain colum writer Mr. Sutherland, and Mr.Wong Yee's works...
And I still clearly remember the former's words to... "Leave Some For The Next Man"...

lol.. Mani.. de yrs of experiences.. from ups n downs along wif de reading of Genie had made u a better investor....
You and Cashiertan, along wif ten4one and Pinnacle r those tat i highly look upon....
Pardon me, what is meant by window dressing ?
Yeah... :)
I remember when I first bought shares in the 60's, I did it together with all the 'Ah cheks' and 'Ah so's...
I was so happy and ganjiong to get their hot tips and buy the hot stocks they recommended... "this one good, sure go up one, can make easily"...

Precisely....even those so-called professional stock analysts were wrong most of the time.
indeed.. i remember when i first play wif shares.. super super duper greenhorn time.. really follow blindly on wat forums and some reports from Analyst... KNN.. really ganna left right up down...
U cant tell who is right, who is wrong.. where the advise comin from.. Long or Short Retailer/investor.. ea has their own agenda..
Some r playin Short....
Cheers..
Eh,
There have been a plenty of times where futures is red and it ends green , vice versa .
It's hard to say where the market esp now as its year end and newbie investor may wanna try for window dressing as they think that window dressing is the last day of the month or year .
Let's see how it goes tmr. But I do agree we should see some red today locally and maybe green tmr .
end almost flat today
any major bad news? we are coming to the year end...hopefully it ends on a positive note
