Now all are willing to let go, but want a higher price...(but ironically, when a good price comes, they will not sell)...

I am sure a lot of dealer system will crash due to heavy trading at the start. Let's see. | ||||

STI will break 2400; even 2300 is going to be shaky. The last minute collapse due to news on morgan stanley and WaMu totally took out existing supports. Lots of bloodletting later, but do be careful even on shorts. Looks too... 'pressed' down. |

i simply love the STI graph posted by one forumer, forgot his name, but i save his graph, based on the pattern happend within 10 years... once you touched 2400 points, a small rebound will happen to 2574 points, and downward continue to 1800 points, and bottomming process will take place for at least a year (that is what happening in year 2002-2003)... so, if history repeats, we shall cash in while STI drops to 1800 points, the magnitude is the same from 2000 high 2587 drop to 2001 low of 1181.. a very good chart though.. well, today might even reach 2300... so, we are really heading southwards fast and furious.. remember to cash in at 1800 points ! |

i would have to agree with CWQuah on this point whereby weighing the risk factors between going long or short at the current moment...its riskier to short given that much meat had already been taken out...no doubt we have to admit that the market is very much on a downtrend scale now...but we need to expect a technical rebound too...the sell-down had been really massive of scale lately...its all about the up and down effects in the market its all down to maths probability game now

STI had gapped up almost 40 pts this morning. So, pretty predictably, profit taking set in - coz no rate cut; and also because margin calls were likely to have been triggered; coupled with some BBs trying to initiate another round of shorting today in response to AIG's near-collapse (Fed was forced to act). But seriously, if we look at the risks between adopting the long and short positions on the market, it's in fact riskier to short liao. That's not to say mkt will rally immediately on Fri/next Mon; but frankly, to real investors, this is perhaps one of the closest opportunities to go for a lelong stockmkt shopping trip. If only there was a better indicator of how extreme the fear in the mkts are. Dow has VIX, but for Singapore, much has to do with the newsflow you see... Look at Straits times... what news made the cover page for last 2 days? |

however, 2280 support region seems more credible...its a worry in the markets nowadays...buying at support lines also deem to be of adrenaline rush these days...with the market so down already...shorting still viable? don't think so...sideliners could possibly be what most are doing...if not, those serious in investing, it's understandable from many gurus in SJ that probably its time to nimble bit by bit too

quite 'blurred' in the market situation to find where the support is...but probably we can use 2350 region as a guide as for now...doesn't seems far away...keeps breaking support recently at a far too rapid pace...just when u think it might consolidate and move sideways for awhile above a support...it suddenly just break away. |

usually, when there's a sudden scrambling to buy and a very rapid rise in share price within a few minutes. eg, the capland "bounce" yesterday from about 394 to 408 within one hour. it tends to happen because of a chain effect: px suddenly ups a couple of cents, ppl panic and rush to cover back (esp if external news trigger). because queues both ways are thin, so it's very easy for BBs to catch out both shorts and longs. shorts are especially vulnerable if they're only doing intraday shorting. cheers!
