Today Sunday Times called for sell and move to taiwan market. Are they trying to stir a massive sell next week??
Will investors react to this call or just sit and wait??? Any on line Guru to give your advise?? Xie Xie.
Hi Kiwi, its either down or up. Markets move according to players playing it. Markets doesnt get scared. Only players playing the field.
This morning me went to lim kopi at nearby hawker center. Saw a group of grim face Ah Cheak and Ah Soh in sports atire reading page 29 of the Sunday Time with heads shaking sideways...... it was very noisy and could not hear what they talking.
From the looks on their faces, it seems that the Ang Moh's call has hit the grassroots level....
Hi, whats the employment figures? down?
With US independent day, with 2 terrorist attacks in London, newspaper report of peak of shares and waiting for 2Q growth report etc.... What will be the market gg to be like for MON or next week ?
CHeers
This Friday's US job employment fugures could dictate market direction..
Volatile Session..
Dow reverses from 13,500, increases in volatility into the Close.
From prior commentary, "...Keep an eye on the 13,400 level tomorrow, as a break through this zone could easily spark another test of lows at 13,300..."
The Dow opened the session with a big test of the 13,500 resistance level, but was not able to hold above this zone, as seen in the 15 Minute Chart. Instead, the index reversed course and solid off heavily into the afternoon before rallying just before the Close, capping a highly volatile session. The Dow closed the day with a small 14 point loss and continues to hold above key 13,250 support.
The Dow was rejected at 13,500 resistance and then broke through 13,400 support en route to a big 200 point sell-off, which is quite a decline. All this pent-up volatility could be a precursor to a huge breakout some time soon.
The Daily Chart shows the Dow continues to wind up within the large consolidation that spans from 13,250 to 13,700, which we will continue to watch for a big breakout move. The fact that the range seems to be rounding off the highs indicates that a downside break could be soon. Watch 13,250 down, and 13,525 up for signs of key movement Monday.
Short Term Dow
The Dow closed the day right at the clear 13,400 fulcrum, seen in the 5 Minute Chart. Watch this zone closely for early direction Monday morning.
Medium Term Dow
In the medium term, we entered the market Long at 13,500 today, but stopped out with a 20 point loss. We are out of the market and will watch 13,525 up, and 13,250 down; using 20 point stops.
NASDAQ & S&P
The NASDAQ and S&P each bounced late in the day after a steady decline from resistance. Look for more range movement until a solid breakout from their respective ranges occurs.
Summary
The Dow closed the day with a mild loss, but continues to increase in volatility ahead of a potential breakout move from this huge trading range. Keep an eye on the narrowing range for a potential breakout move Monday.
Thanks for listening, and Good luck in your trading!

| 26-Jun-2007 | (cut n paste FYI oni...quote from last Tues). |
| Today fall is due to calling by foreign houses selling down, oso calling by Citigroup Inc, |
a lot of analayist gave warnibg abt singapore stock and recently remark fr our Prime MInister and MAS saying a big shock could occur????????,they can predict wat goin on,is it tamasek goin to off load those STI shares like SMRT,comfortdelgro.sph,singtel,DBS
I refer to today's newspaper article - Booming stock market. Is it time to sell.
Too me, focus on your individual stock not on the STI.....
Singaporegal... 
Dear Mani,
I agree with you on that. A close that is nearer to the high of the day and supported with large trading volumes is a bullish sign.
Now i am looking and think isit for real...China Milk come with a bonus
?, and when news is out. U know and i know ...!!!. need another reminder.
| Jun.2007 | |
| Now a day with so many "Kang Tao", really don know which one is real, which one is not so real and which one is buffling......I was thinking of d last one who started that Digiland was about to be bot over by......well it turn out not the real thing. |
I agree leh.... Dow also not very strong. I think there will be a period of cooling off first.
Plus now that the GST hike has come into play, it may act as a damper to the stock market.
my 2cts worth...I m not very optimistic...there are signs of weakness appearing...should be caution and stay alert...it is just personal view...not inducement..
well....the dip is expected and probably people taking profit for window dressing for the half-year reports. the implementation of the GST is probably going to cause people to spend more and that is a good thing for corporate profits. So, I believe the STI still has room to climb what do u guys think?
Singaporegal.... :)
If you look at the daily bars, the Dow usually gyrates quite widely during a day's whole session...
Thus, a high opening is hardly something to be confident about...
A high closing is preferable... 
STI drops 67 pts for the week, but gains 19% in H1

A DOWNGRADE on Singapore in favour of Taiwan by Citigroup, large swings on Wall Street and China, and half-year window-dressing of the Straits Times Index - these were the salient features of trading this week insofar as blue chips were concerned.
As for second-liners and penny stocks, the forces influencing their movements were similar but slightly more varied. While swings in the index because of external shifts undoubtedly had an effect, equally important were the efforts of syndicates, manipulators and house traders.
Citigroup's downgrade came early in the week and was based on the argument that valuations were overly expensive, both historically and relative to under-owned and laggard markets like Taiwan. One valuation benchmark used was price/book value, which Citigroup said is the highest in 17 years. The foreign house concluded that the upside from here on for the rest of the year is limited and said that despite Singapore having plenty of things going for it, the stock market is not one of them.
Technical analysts agreed with the gist of this report - UOB Kay Hian, for instance, said a chart breakdown not just for the ST Index but also key stocks such as the banks suggested selling into strength was the preferred option.
The release of the Citigroup report coincided with heightened nervousness on Wall Street stemming from continued problems associated with the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market and its impact on US banks. In addition, latest economic news has not been encouraging - US first-quarter growth of 0.7 per cent released on Thursday was the lowest in four years. The US Federal Reserve, in the meantime, opted to keep its short rate unchanged at 5.25 per cent after its Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday and Thursday.
China, meanwhile, continued to swing between bouts of extreme bullishness and bearishness. Daily moves in either direction of 3-4 per cent were common and on Thursday, the top-to-bottom swing was 7 per cent after the government announced a US$200 billion bond sale which could suck liquidity out of the stock market.
The coinciding of these factors brought the ST Index down between Monday and Wednesday, but a rebound ensued on Thursday and Friday because Wall Street stabilised. Also helping to prop the index up was the customary half-year window-dressing by funds aiming to shore up their performance.
In yesterday's session, property stocks and Jardine group were the obvious targets, though oddly, not the banks. CapitaLand, which is one of the partners involved in the $1.5 billion en-bloc purchase of Farrer Court, was the biggest gainer when its shares shot up 40 cents to $8.10. Property player Wing Tai's shares enjoyed late support, finishing 18 cents higher at $3.98 after selling for $3.92 at 5pm.
The upshot of all this: The index rose 9.97 points to end the first half at 3,548.2. For the week it lost 67 points, but for the first six months it has gained 563 points or 19 per cent.

Dow is up strongly on open. Hopefully this translates to a good week next week for us.
About our own STI. Angmo is tying hard to sell down saying our STI has gone over the roof, then OCBC hit back and said Who said.... Singapore economic is still doing all rite what...will still see some room for STI to move up throu..it take abit of effort, but not in a straight line.
