Given d bad market prevail...plus US$700Bil or S$1 trillion awaiting congress for approval...This is going to be a volatile week come next week...In btw now and then...pending US fixing up it own financial houses and it financial system...1800 is a high possibility. However if they are able to fix it by then...STI may have a lower chances going below 2000, meanwhile next nearest support level is heading for 2350-2400 range when US fail to approval it bail out plan or it ding / dong and delay it it NEG in within d senate and d their chief..

SINGAPORE: The 300,000 Malaysians employed in the island republic have been advised to gear up for retrenchment if the country continues to slide into a recession.

http://business.asiaone.com/Business/News/Story/A1Story20081014-93570.html

(SINGAPORE) Expect the global downturn to hit Singapore hard, as GDP growth in Q4 and 2009 weakens, economists said While experts (warn) urge more help for needy lower income group singaporeans''and those effected by lost of job, would give targeted help which need it most as econoy shrink from official targeted 3% growth and next year 2009, even lower or may shrink to 1.2%, if US goes into deeper recession. Finance Ministry Tharman has indicated so..last week.

Today STI rebound by 128.02 points. All due to this...as governments from EU to Australia and the U.S. intensified efforts to ease a financial crisis that threatened to the throw the world into recession.

ST Index	2,076.35 +128.02
Volume	1,593.7 M

Come this last 4th Q 2008 and into 1st Q 2009. In order for badly hit Companies to stay afloat, likely to start those dreadful action...Retrenchment, (expectation in lower earning as business / economy slow down or lost cetain business contract...oredi into technical recession), stop issue or cut bonus, cut overtime, cash is tight, belt tightening, bank borrowing drag it feet to lend. Long serving staffs...high salary go 1st (hope they can cut salary then chose the easy way...retrench). There can be few casualty, a few more victim and many unpaid bill effecting those poorer citizen.

Sub-prime credit (indeed) woes certainly has aggravated avalanche effected US housing woes. In stocks, it went into tail spin. In U.S, it closed a few big leading investment bank that lead to financial meltdown which G7, E.U. and IMF and world bank try to avert. It take time to do so...

Singapore economy is very open to global trade exposure and to U.S. export, expecting lower earning come into play when compaies start reporting...Those oredi bot, please not to forget or insane oneself with stocks madness, rather still very volatile in it extreme nature. Take care.

Big rallies in bear markets are caused not by internal market strength,but by fear...
fear that the market may 'cheong' up continuously from there without them on board...

Thus, 'bargain' snappers bring on the rallies as the big boys withhold their selling sprees.

But usually, no amount of sensible talk will change that natural behaviour...

Like you said, how can desperate emergency action (frantic bailouts) turn a fundamentally bad economic situation into a rosy delicious one? The stock market only thrives in a strong economy.

patience will be rewarded.. remember our date at 1800 points, it must come down.. recession cannot be solved by just 1 week of bailout plan, cash injection, and the sky become crystal blue sky.. no way.. it must come down and entering bottoming process before they shoot up high back to 3000 level...

now, just make sure you collect more and more cash... cheers.

Ouch 3.54... we can aim for 2003 lowest point at 3.20 , with 0.19 dividend in december.. hmm... 190/3200x100% = 5.9% yields nei..

jackjames ( Date: 14-Oct-2008 09:13) Posted:

good question, i am seeing closely now too.. at first nearly click SPH at 3.75.. but now price 3.70, ha ha..

then, i told myself.. what's the profit margin, if only earn $300,$400, forget it... i don't want to take high risk to earn small amount..

I think profit taking might happen today.. it might come down. so, be patient.. might be later we can get cheaper price, heeee...

Maybe people are myopic about this injection of fund into banking system around the world. Look at the big picture. The reason for the Central Banks around the world to inject $$ into the mkt is because they are trying to undo the wrong doing of banks in the past 10-15 years. It may seems good news on the front that world governments are getting into the mkt to rescue the banks from falling, but please take a step back and see the whole picture. It's not something good. They are just filling "holes" in the padi fields and whether the field will grow rice will depend on the companies managing the field going forward.

But a rally is a rally like yesterday and today in STI. Profit while we can but dun plunge into the mkt as yet. I am anticipating more turmoils in the coming months.

Volume average only. Just above 1 billion. With DJ gaining 1000pts, I expect STI volume to swell. So my take, this rally can last a little longer, not too long. My view oni!

Market conditions still weak...remember, we're not totally out of the woods yet. A better strategy is to stay out today, sell if you've profits from the last 2 day's buy. For STI today, 2200 will be hard to achieve unless some v.good news from the EU after market reopen. Profit taking is looming.....

One more thing, dun buy into the lagers, there are reasons behind why its share price is not performing even today. Stay caution! Just my humble view.

Contra or short ..only make your broker rich .

Wealth transfer is now in progress...

Invest not gamble ..do your homework ..look for value buys @ your ability.

Buy companies that will do well even world in recession ....

renewable energy , enivorment protection , like coal still demand cheap way of generating

energy, palm oil plantations , platinum related companies for nude energy generation.
