Fellowship of the Shares

Hi singaporegal,

Read you post about P Redang.

Yeah, I stayed there a couple of times.....in Coral Redang and another smaller resort. However, I found that on the second visit, it got a bit boring; especially in the evenings. Things are done too 'mass market'.....like they will bring a big group out for snorkling  to a certain spot....at a certain time etc.

Now, what I do is I stay on the mainland...at a town called Merang (not to be mistaken for Marang). Merang has a range of resorts there...ranging for the budget to high end (about 3-4 stars....by Spore standard). Then we will charter a boat from this company www.deutzianautical.com.

Deutzianautical charters are package deals...meals are provided...and you can snorkle, fish (including deep sea), kayak or just land on a quiet beach on a deserted island.......whatever you like to do. All equipment are provided....snorkling fins and masks, fishing equipment, kayak etc at no extra cost. They can also cater for scuba.....but you need to let them know in advance...and I think it may cost a bit more.

The proprietor, Derek and his wife, gives very personalised service, they are very knowledgeable about the sea and the offshore islands.....and they can bring you to places that you will never see with these 'mass market' resorts.

Check them out.

hehe, zhuge_liang, you sound frustrated. it's ok. don't let other ppl bother you so much. focus on what's of value. :)

yeayea kitten, hello to you and bunnie and godpa and the rest of the family. like sheesh, some of us have lives/jobs outside of SJ ya know....sigh. high maintenance kitten. sigh. hm. wonder what i can get for selling him off. keke. how come no takers?! sighhhh.....

heh, godpa, i'll take the MACD question for singaporegal. pai seh, have been v busy at work so will make it fast:

MACD stands for moving average convergence divergence. essentially, it lets you cross the moving averages of two time periods (so called 'cos it's a continuous line that tracks the price average of a determined no: of days). in practical terms: when the short (eg 3 days) crosses the long (eg, 10 days), it's a buy signal. when the long crosses the short, it's a sell signal.

Most pure techies will not use MACD as a buy indicator because it's a lagging indicator: ie, it moves after the share price moves. Lead indicators on the other hand, like a/d and c/o, move before the share price moves. The benefits of a lag indicator tho, is that there's perhaps greater certainty: since the movement is after the price has actually crossed the buy signal prediction.

pls note tho that singaporegal has parameters for the stocks she chooses to play; which is why she perhaps doesn't need to pay so much attention to MACD (ie, weeded out the stocks on chosen indicators alr). For most beginners, MACD is a very good, and much easier guide to learn; esp as a/d and c/o nos: can get misleading, esp if you didn't weed out on initial parameters first.

btw, market is rather crazy right now. pls be cautious for all trades, people. aside, have posted on a new stock (asterisk, you were asking how we spot stocks)--engkong. go see the thread for the techs on it. essentially a guide on using the other indicators, when a/d and c/o are insensitive, to see the tech pic of what's happening. (not an encouragement to buy ah! pls make own minds up! >~<)

ok, long mail. elf needs to go, tata for now, hope the above helps!

 

Hi sporegal

The postings are one-sided and biased with hardly any negative news. I would not read them unless I want to be amused. I rather go to the Wilmar thread where news are presented from all perspectives. The postings are true and accurate and filled with facts and figures.

 

hello elfin my dear.... how come so long neber hear from you here....

kekek kitten waiting to be pat pat here..... meow~~ 

 

Hi Baseerahmed & Chinkisau,

No worries mate, i'm not heart broken. Good thing u clarified. I was just thinking quel dragueur ie what a buaya! Sorry to have misunderstood u!

Anyway, my offer to upload the photos still stands till end of this week. Next week will be very busy with work. Just send me the photos to my gmail a/c and i will help u compile an album. U can then just send an invitation to the link and pple will be able to go the website to c it.

Regards

Slimsk

 

Hi geojam,

Yup... if the Acc/Dist line is seen to uptrend then its a bullish sign.

Divergence means price trend is down/flat AND Acc/Dist is uptrending
 

 

sporegal

U need to go for lesson inorder to scuba dive.

when u say AD is uptrending it means the AD line is upwards?

And show sign of divergence with stock px,means the share px is down?

cheers

 

Hi geojam,

The Chakin Osciallator is actually derived from the Accumulation/Distribution line. Its an Exponential Moving Average of the Acc/Dist chart. See - http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/chaikinoscillator.asp

I can swim fine... I just can't scuba dive....
 

 

sporegal

I did alot of swimming and play water polo during school days.I can teach u,no problem.

So much so until i smell of chlroine and hair change colour.

Ok,seriously.

In ur article,what is chaikin oscillator?

cheers 

 

Hi fortunegal,

Alamak.... I thought the snorkeling trip is complimentary.... my friend just told me she made a mistake....  must pay $35.... sigh.... but I will be going snorkeling anyway!

I can't scuba dive... dunno how to. Did you scuba or snorkel?
 


 

 

Interesting observation, Zhuge Liang haha.

 

Hi elf,

When I want to be amused, I just need to read 2 threads- GMG : Hidden Gem and Best World. The following postings from BR and SK all got good post ratings:

GMG : Hidden Gem

"All look good and great!!  gd post rating"
"RED HOT TODAY!!! Price surged to record high!"
"Fundamentals remain intact!!"
"Closed unchange.....this is great performance on a bad day like today!"
"NR price remian stable in today trading! All looks good!"
"Good analysis....the uptrend still intact!  2 good post ratings. The person who performed the analysis only got one.
"Kottayam April 14 - Physical rubber prices were steady on Saturday."
"Rubber futures at TOCOM moved up strongly today!"

Best world

"The best is yet to come!"
"When the chance come....GRAB IT!!"
"Any strong pull back will be good chance load up!!"

The threads get many views although only a few messages are posted a day.
On 21/4, views increased by more than 300 on just 1 post.
On 22/4, between 7pm and 1.30 am, views increased by more than 250 on 6 posts. Those 6 messages were posted within 1 hour.

This shows the manipulation going on, they are creating a false impression of poularity by clicking away. They just want bragging rights. This is no better than share rigging.

So many people get good post ratings there. They are being bribed in that sense to post messages and help to increase the popularity.

 

I CAN SEE!!!!

hi baseerahmed, ya it happened last friday. ku ku one lah the IT system here. but who cares since now i'm able to access this thread again.

anyway, i think it is best that religion-related topics should be steered clear in puiblic forum. can be a discussion topic among frens but like all things in Sg, public forums are monitored, so let's not get anyone here or SJ into problems by talking about topics like that.

 

Abang BaseerAhmed...

How nice if we can hear your voice too... as background music... hehe... :)

Terimah kaseh banyak... (thanks very much)...
