The 3-month Dow chart doesn't look very bad even if it falls a couple of hundred points tonight.

Click here to see it... It looks like a good reversal formation is developing... Smiley

Dow must close above 11511 tonight. Otherwise, expect even more selling on Fri night. I don't think it will go below 11400 yet. Unless more bad news comes in.

Do not assume there will be a rally on Dow tonight. Nikkei's close is not that good.

investors are cautious, as coys are opening their 1H report books. most coys results revealed that their earnings were declined as compared to the previous same period or even last qtr.

today, 9 coys will make the announcements, some mid day and others after 5pm. KepCorp is one of them. hope for the best loh!!!!

another reason why i am accumulating put warrants everytime the markets chiong.. :):)

Institutional "Core Holdings" Warning to Bullish Investors

We have spoken at length about the importance of Institutional investors vs. the stock market. The key element of importance was the fact that Institutions control well over 50% of any day's typical volume. So, the market follows the trend of what Institutions are doing with their "core holdings".

Investors who trade against the prevailing trend of Institutions are betting that they can produce a profit when Institutions are trading against them.

It is just not sound investing and the odds are that you will always lose money in the long run if you trade in the opposite direction of the Institutional "core holding" trend.

This morning we will show you the current Institutional index chart as of yesterday's close. (We post Institutional charts every day on our paid subscriber sites.)

This chart shows the movement of Institutional core holdings going back to 2003.

1. What is clear, is that the Institutional Index moved in a Bullish up channel from 2003 through 2007. 2. Then, in January, the Index fell through the bottom of the channel's support.
3. It then hit dropped until it hit a support line, and rose back up to the resistance on the lower channel.

Since that time, the index failed to the downside, retested the lower support and failed again. It is now below that important support line. Until the Institutional index reverses its trend to the upside, investors would be smart to not play the long side of the market. If preservation of capital means anything to you, follow the trend and direction of Institutional activity.

Uphill climb Down Under for some S'pore investments

ABC Learning, Australand struggle but Optus manages to hold its own

By SIOW LI SEN

(SINGAPORE) It's not only in the US but in Australia too that the global credit crunch has hurt some of Temasek Holdings' investments.

The price of ABC Learning, the world's largest listed childcare provider has collapsed almost 90 per cent from when Temasek first bought into the company in May 2007 at A$7.30 a share.

Yesterday, the troubled ABC closed at 82.5 Aussie cents.

ABC has been selling assets to pay off its debt of A$1.7 billion (S$2.2 billion) - loans it took to fund its rapid expansion last year in the United States.

ABC is aiming to raise A$800 million from sales in the US and the UK.

Temasek Holdings had first invested A$401.5 million for a 12 per cent stake in ABC in May last year. Then early this year, as the stock of ABC plunged, Temasek raised its stake to 14.7 per cent.

Temasek said in a statement to the Australian stock exchange that it paid between A$2.14 and A$4.20 per share for the nearly 12 million shares it bought mainly in February.

But its holding in ABC has been pared back slightly to 12.68 per cent after the childcare provider completed an A$82 million equity placement in June.

Lazard Asset Management is now ABC's largest shareholder with 12.93 per cent, followed by Temasek.

Another Temasek-related entity that needs money is Australand, a property company which has announced a one-for-one rights issue at A$0.60 a share to raise A$557 million.

CapitaLand, which owns 54 per cent of Australand, is committing A$302 million to the rights issue and if all minorities do not take up their entitlements, CapitaLand's stake could increase to 70 per cent, said a JP Morgan report yesterday.

This week, Australand said property revaluation and project writedown have resulted in a 79 per cent year-on-year fall in net profit to A$25.6 million for the half-year ended June 30, 2008.

The assets are located predominantly in Sydney, which Australand says has continued to 'suffer more difficult market conditions with no improvement forecast in the short to medium term'.

Australand, acquired by CapitaLand's predecessor DBS Land in 1994, went public in 1997 and is listed in Singapore too, where it is rarely traded. In 2003, it was restructured into a property trust.

Australand last traded at 97.5 Aussie cents and has fallen almost 60 per cent year to date.

A Temasek spokeswoman said 'no comment' when asked how it viewed the performance of its investments in Australia.

But one Australian asset owned by Temasek-linked company Singapore Telecommunications that has done relatively well is its unit Optus, the second largest telco after Telstra.

SingTel is now listed in Australia, after it bought Optus in 2001.

Last year, Optus's revenue of A$7.8 billion made up 67 per cent of SingTel's group revenue of S$14.8 billion.

SingTel yesterday closed here at $3.57, down 11 per cent year to date outperforming the benchmark Straits Times Index, which is down more than 15 per cent.

ayoh, if u r below 55, u blur on CPF issues, otherwise u sure smart. time will come. visit CPF.com.sg for more details when u are approaching 55.

BTW, transfer your OA to SA to earn better int, if u don't need the money in CPF OA acct.

on the other hand, if u are cash rich in your OA, transfer the cash to your parents, if they are near 55 and above, to earn 4 % int. when they come 62 and above, the monthly pay out would be enough for your parents daily needs loh.
