Must stay above this 5.00 level or more downside possible. Note that this 5.00 support was broken in Aug last year which saw this counter hit a low of 3.05 in Oct. Might find a new support at 4.50.

In fact in terms of the all the blue chips's  % drip drop during the Lehman crisis, SGX drops the least, whereas these 3 counters sembmarine, kepcorp, citidev drops the most in terms of % during that time.
Even kepcorp got crash from above $12 to below $4 but SGX just  stay firmly above $4.
I think maybe BBs think even in crisis people also will trade shares, meaning they short-sell and they cut-loss too hence generating volume for SGX   hence SGX didn't drop that badly like sembmarine, kepcorp, citidev during crisis
No lah . you are wrong.
SGX at $1.10 is not a few years ago, it's many many years ago. I think more than 10 years ago.
Even during Lehman crisis in late 2008, SGX lowest was around $4 plus during that time
Whereas Sembmarine $1.20 is really happen 2-3 years ago in late 2008/early 2009 period.
Although Sembmarine won't drop to $1.20 but my earlier point is if STI really enter a short bear market, then sembmarine will fall in greater percentage than most blue chips, $2.80-$3 don't say not possible if STI falls to 2600-2700 next year

Avoid shipbuilding company. Shipbuilding company is the most fragile and may not recover  like 2009  if the crisis really come.
I think 1.2 was during the Lehman Brothers Crisis period. 
Do not think SembMar will drop to that level unless a crisis of similar magnitude strikes.

Yes. Noted. SGX used to be $1.10 a few donkey years ago too
BTW, I used to play this Sembmarine stock at $1.20plus a few rounds a short few years ago,
hence a gentle reminded that this Sembmarine used to be at $1.20plus a few short years ago,
hence hope no heart attack for those vested. haha
Ya I also notice in recession/bear market this Sembmarine always fall more steeply than Sembcorp.
 
 
can  buy some sembcorp / keppel corp olso.
Usually sembcorp outrun sembmar. It was like that before the economy crisis.
Div wise ... ... keppel is the best.
For now on  , sembmar utmost task was to at least announce a beat expectation earning quarter !! !!

hey all,
Study the price action below... ....
I didn't  realise that there was another mild gap up at $4.0313 support.
which $4.2214 gap up alredi being filled.
It seems that a real rebounce could start  somehow during  the second gap up.
I think $4.00 is a psyco level... ...

Until the Petrobras project start building in Brazil shipyard and Mega Yard is completed.
Due to 2 shipyards are building, the cash on hand is drop from 2 billion to 1 billion.  The cash  will drop further and may affect their dividend distribution in April.

For value investor this is good ... Cause from FA point of view... Price of oil will just goes up in the long run... And Sembmar will surely benefit with kep corp
4.18 Broke. Maybe will really Hit $4

Short-term stochastics is at the bottom of its range and should be turning up next week (Nov 12 to 16). That could trigger a temporary bounce towards the bottom of the gap at $4.49. In the medium term, though, technicals are negative. As prices broke down below its moving averages at the $4.80 level last month, volume expanded. The breakdown indicates an initial downside of $4.20. Note that quarterly momentum has broken below a support and its equilibrium line. ![]() |
I trade this stock a few times, most of it timed correctly other than this time round.
Got at 4.35, but didnt sell at 4.44 cos too greedy :(
  Nevertheless, this stock always bounce back strongly once market stabilizes and will converge towards the price of SembCorp from my observations.
Downside is that it may hit below $4 before if start recovering. 
  Lastly, with oil price expected to start jumping on Isreal's war, maybe orders will increase?? 
Good portfolio. But bank stock always sensitive to economic condition.
And yes, blue chips can weathered a downturn.
