Haha fortunegal, I'm sure my new nick will give you and many forumers some room for imagination
Just to make thing clear, uncle forever doesn't look this...
many thanks Elf for your advise.. I think I will just hang on to STE cos I am not eyeing another stock: however I am very tempted to buy more of Global voice... but now compare to 0.135 a few weeks ago this stock is now about 0.17, should I buy more? I understand the CEO thinks the stock at its very least 0.30?
And yes GIANTLOW, where art thou? Your absence is deafening..... we really missed you..
btw folks, talking of
jabbas' salary increases.. I am reminded of a similar situation here in Kenya... the arguments used here are "very persuasive"...but I think Singapore jabbas is outdoing the Kenyan jabbas,
Kenyan MPs vote to treble president's pay
Saturday December 9, 2006
The Guardian
President Mwai Kibaki received an early Christmas present from Kenyan MPs yesterday when they voted to nearly triple his basic salary - news greeted with anger in Kenya, where half of the population lives below the poverty line.
Mr Kibaki, who is from an extremely wealthy family with widespread business interests, will now be paid 2m shillings (£14,600) a month, up from 700,000 shillings (£5,100). With allowances, his new monthly package is 3.2m shillings or £280,800 a year, making him one of the highest paid heads of state in the world.
Kenyan MPs have become notorious in recent years for awarding themselves huge increases that bear little relation to the country's economic status.
"Ordinary people are very unhappy," said Macharia Gaitho, a columnist for the Nation newspaper. "When other public servants ask for pay rises they are always told that there is no money, yet the system allows MPs to set their own salaries."
Ministers argued in parliament that the proposal was necessary to "give the institution of the presidency the respect it deserves". Speaking to Reuters, a government spokesman, Alfred Mutua, said civil servants such as the head of the anti-corruption commission had been earning more than the head of state.
"We can't have a president who is paid less than some of the people he leads," he said. "It is in keeping with international standards and even the former retired president [Daniel arap Moi] earns more than the current one."
yah. actually i prefer doggies too. cats are really not my thing. (no offence to my kitten hehe).
returns for having a kitten....well, whatever the kitten is willing to give, isn't it? or what, you mean he's not attractive enough so he has to come with elfin stock tips attached?! poor kittie...poor, poor kittie....

hi folks, just got back from the bush, now in nice hotel in Nairobi.... so was out of email touch..
my dear auntie bunnie, yah loh, almost got eaten by lion...and butted by cape horn buffalo.. ke ke... feels good to be missed..
seriously I was in Lake Bogoria.. saw and took lots of pics of the flamingoes..almost a sea of pink, and on the shore up on a lonely branch.. a fish eagle..really majestic with piercing eye.. then I turn my camera back on the sea of flamigoes as I heard loud flutterings just in time to catch a wave of pink & black dashes as the flamingoes took flight, cos the fish eagle behind me had taken wings (flamigoes are staple diet for the eagles..) and I happily snapped away....then I saw a flock of pelicans huddled together...so as to look even bigger to the eagle; they did not take flight..... ...

conversely, one need not be poor to recognise the suffering and bondage of poverty? I am personally sceptical  when people who has never been to Africa, talks about Africa and start making sweeping statements like "The happiest people are those found in African villages" How do they measure happiness? And what African village are they talking about... I invite them to visit Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya and they shall open their eyes and see the truth..... |
well I asked an elderly wise kenyan who owns a shamba (small farm of about three acres), in a village in Machakos, to comment on the statement about "the happiest people being found in African villages...." he looked at me in the eye with display of facial disbelief that any one could make such a statement,
and then said "it depends whether they have enough to eat", he then point out to the very thin (literaly skin & bones) cattle that passed us... "there is not enough rain, so there is not enough food, how can one be happy when he is hungry..."
I prefer dogs to cats as pets actually.... dogs are so much more interactive. Cats are too independent for my linking... 
hmm... wat is the return for having a kitten? 
joking.
joking.
hullo, just woke up from nap. groggy....medication...
yea. not all indicators work for all counters...esp be careful with the pennies. I know i'm holding some, but note that i only pick the pennies with strong fundamentals. o/w, without fundamentals, i wouldn't touch a penny no matter how good its TA is. since being cornered, day traders, momentum, etcetc will affect it a lot. And then there's macro-trends to consider as well. sometimes, macro-trends can just put all TA out of whack, so always gotta keep informed of global news.
yup, i do use MACD. depends entirely on counter tho. i go by stock first then i see which indicators it responds to. note i never just rely on one indicator. best of all for me is when they all coincide. it's that thing abt know yr tools but always distrust them.
keke. yongjiu is my kitten now. official elfin adoption, without rest of family. haha. 'cos there was some conversation abt him being a leo, but he was so amenable to being bullied (i was sharpening knives to slice him up and he offered his heart as dessert!!!
), so i told him that he wasn't a lion, but a kitten. and he agreed. keke. so elf has a bunnie and a kitten now. the kitten is a little lonely tho, so we're on the lookout for company for him. any recommendations? *grin* i lelonged him yesterday. haha. see if you can find that post. 
i'm sure the kittie's not bad looking. any takers??? on sale!!
bwah ha.
and oh man, this emoticon is sick!
eastonbay....yah...i think i make more money when i'm on mc than when i'm at work. not a good thing....
elf, i really like the post on Posted: 12-Apr-2007 12:35 where u said use the right indicator for the right counters. well written!
i am also starting to notice RSI overbrought do not mean the price will go down (sometimes all the indicators work except for RSI, so i do not dare to vest on it). And i also started to notice not all the indicators tell the story for some stock that I am confused. okie now at least clear some of my doubts.
do you use MACD?
no time to read much previous posts.. i was puzzled...why YJ is been called as kitten? i thought nick as kitten is normally associated with cute n petti girls, but YJ is a man??
feel like calling you shi-jie! :oP
YongJiu, yeah lah... of course I remember about NOL. I kinda get to know you thru' that and I offered my congratulation to you then, hoping to get a treat but you neber offered
(just joking)
Elf: hope you are feeling better. Not bad huh, got 2 days MC. Frankly, when you are on MC, we get to read your post in the day too, bad for you but good for us
