On Thursday, Sembmar re-test the support at $4.94 and closed at $4.96 with HIGH volume of 6.58 million shares traded.
Three black candles occurred in the last three days.  Although these candles were not big enough to create three black crows, the steady downward pattern is bearish.
RSI & MACD are flat as RSI trend sideways.
Important Resistance of Sembmar: $5.05
Immediate Support of Sembmar: $4.94
Currently prices are supported by 20/50 days MA at $4.94

Here, too, prices are forming a base that looks somewhat like a minor reverse head-andshoulders. Immediate resistance is near current levels, at $4.62, with more significant resistance at $4.74. Volume is picking up, but only slightly and not sufficient to trigger a breakout. The break may occur when quarterly momentum turns up decisively in early July. Note, too, that ADX is low, at 10, and that points to the absence of a strong trend. Support is at $4.40, and prices would really need to move above $4.74 to indicate an upside target, which could be as high as $5.40. ![]()   |
Keppel and Sembcorp to benefit from new Brazilian orders
21 rigs are awaiting the big shipping lines by 12 September.
According to CIMB, favourable newsflow on Petrobras rigbuilding orders appears  imminent for the shipyards as Upstream reported that Sete Brasil could ink the final contracts for the remaining 21 rigs by 12 September. 
Here's more from CIMB:
The publication also suggested that  SMM has received the LOI for the  remaining five drillships worth  S$5bn. This follows Keppel’s Apr 12  announcement of the LOI for five  semi-subs (S$5.2bn).  Our top pick is SCI as it is less
susceptible to volatile prices and is  the cheapest at 6x CY13 EV/EBITDA  vs. KEP and SMM’s 11x.
Upstream reported that Sete Brasil  has signed LOIs with four shipyards  to build the remaining 21 rigs. The  shipyards are Keppel BrasFELS,  Odebrecht, Sembcorp Marine’s  Estaleiro Jurong Aracruz and  Engevix. Petrobras is also expected  to sign the back-to-back charters  with Sete Brasil between July and  September 2012.
We believe that final construction  contracts with the shipyards could  coincide with Petrobras’s signing of  charter contracts. There has been no announcement from Sembcorp Marine on the LOI as we think that pricing negotiations could still be ongoing, with room for improvement. Success in clinching Petrobras orders should put the Singapore yards on track for our 2012 contract wins target of S$9.2bn for Keppel and S$10.2bn for Sembcorp Marine.
Watch out for SembMar & Kepcorp securing contracts in the coming months
Petrobras approves construction of 6 semisubs more
projects on the horizon which could provide near term
catalysts for Keppel Corp and SembCorp Marine
Petrobras has approved the construction of 6 newbuild
semisubmersibles in a contract with Sete Brasil. We believe this
could signal impending conversion of Keppel Corp’s existing
LOI into a firm contract, a positive near term catalyst, in our
view. We believe this latest development also implies that we
could be approaching the tail-end of Petrobras’ protracted 28-
rig contracting process, and that SembCorp Marine could also
announce firm orders for the remaining 5 Petrobras drillships.
We believe this could be worth c. US$4bn. Separately,
Upstream reported that contract signing for the chosen yards
will now take place between July and September 2012.
Apart from the 28-rig newbuilding programme, we note more
Petrobras-related projects on the horizon. These include
fabrication and integration contracts for 8 Petrobras-owned
FPSOs and integration work for 2 chartered Petrobras-bound
FPSOs. We believe KEP and SMM are keen contenders for
these projects given their track record in this segment.
wow cheong arhhhhhhhhhh 5.85 to $6.00

Not surprising after DOW's showing with the jobs data. But like you said, this counter is not for punters. It's a fact. Waiting for price to drop further to pick up again. Likely to see test at 4.50 level if DOW down another round tonight.

i have no commitment to tell wat i buy/sell

Actually I think Rotijai is bluffing us. He's too smart to have sold. Probably he's trying to trigger other suckers to sell so he can buy.
Old trick lah, Rotijai.
