Just something to share from my brokerage friends.. He said something like this: " If you notice carefully, usually (not always), when a company annouce dividends, the price of counter will go up rapidly prior to its book closure date. However, this increase will only last for a very short term. After which, there will be a sell down, usually going below the original price when the company first annouce its dividends." "Why?" i asked "Funds and BBs are shorting to get it at lower prices thus resulting in higher yields. If retailers panic, it plays right into the hands of these people" Morale of the story? To each its own, if you had done your homework and feels that the counter you bought is sound. Ignore the short-term fluctuations!! Disclaimer: ignore the above if you are a trader rather than an investor! =P |

When overseas market dropped, STI will follow suit but when overseas markets trend up, STI simply went into hibernating? |

Technical Analysis (chart reading) applies to all stocks, be they pennies, dollars or blue chips. Chart reading need not be technical. For kiss simplicity, all one needs is a hloc bar chart with volume, No need for like silly arcana like ma, macd, stochastics, fourier... I expect many rotten eggs... hehehe..  |

IPunter, I do notice sometime STI dipped, but, our stock chart shows uptrend, but, these charts are more on mid cap and penny. Am i right to say that small and mid caps are going to be manipulated ? Am i right to say Index stocks go hand in hand with STI ? Tks

More advanced stock traders usually ignore the STI, unless they are trading the Index itself. It is best to ignore the STI altogether and concentrate one's attention on the specific stock/s of interest. The more stock charts one follows (work), the more feel one will have for the overall market 'health'... This feel is far more telling than the STI, which is only composed of a small basket of counters from various sectors.  |

Looking at STI alone no meaning. If you use the STI index chart with your stock you will determine if your stock is outperforming or under performing the STI Index. That will give you a clue how well your stock is done compared to the index itself. | ||||

based on my charts, STI may sit sideways for about 1 or 2 months time.most likely will going down in the next few months. well, i see STI is going to having a retrace. can try to buy at 2597 then waiting for it to a small rebounce to 2800... then maybe drop again to 2370 this year.  |

Personally I do not like this STI RALLY today , VOL is LOW & most stocks are actually DROPPING. I feel that PULLBACK may happen anytime (Watch out for tonight US market). The S & P 500 closed @ 1118 yesterday forming a SHOOTING STAR near the important resistance of 1120. (RSI @ Oversold). The rally seems to lose fuel liao. S & P 500 Immediate Resistance: 1120 (Hope S & P can close above this tonight) Cross fingers. |

If so called bb do not pnd, recovery will be faster and long term investment will be shorten then long term investor will benefit due to shorter time taken. But sti have too many pnd issues, so 1 day up, the other day down. So slowly more ppl also go and play by the wind to earn too, and recovery how to be better? But all is decided by bb, as only they can influence ppl mood to buy or sell.

My view that it is a accumulation period for a mid term rally.... correction, rebounce, intra day taking, accumulate and BANG!!!!!!!......... still waiting for that bang...2900 - 3000 might be in sight soon.... Just my view.... |

Actually i dont think ah boy is wrong leh... He did mentioned that there is a gap to be filled at 2850 area. As such, this recent increase is playing according to his script.. Also, my own chartist friends and friends working in brokerages as analyists say that the recent low volume is a growing cause for concern. Seems that it might be the start of an end soon. Just my 2cents worth! =P
