x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Well, ego and emotions determine far more of investors´ stock market decisions than most would be willing to admit. Falling prices that at first appear to be bargains generate fear of loss at much lower prices when opportunities are the greatest. Reason is replaced by emotion and respective rationalization. People are motivated by greed (optimism) when buying and by fear (pessimism) when selling.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Why must the prices of  fundamentally strong firms with earnings visibilities up to 2008 and beyond be dragged down when they are not, and never will be, affected by any subprime woes?  May be the BBs or FMs  wish to cause panic selling for their own benefit.  Look at Singtel - its players are "intelligent" and don't believe in playing down Singtel.  They have been defending Singtel so well that in spite of the current down turn, its prices are holding firm very well.   Let's us laymen leave the game of restoring confidence in the market to the Fed. Surely, they will not wish to  see a recession befall US and the whole world which got out of the last recession not long ago.  Hope that the very NEGATIVE postings, as there are already far too many, will become fewer as each day passes.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	DnApeh, no one knows and it depends on the strength of recovery by october...if the previous high of 3600 plus points not breached by then, the market may be in trouble for the next 3 years, else it will carry on to move up till 2010 (maybe till 5000 points which is unbelievable at this stage i know but market always gives your surprises in long term)...good luck and let's see but at least we know the short term trend :)

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Red Storm coming!!! Everybody go look for shelter now!!! Aug. 24 (Bloomberg) -- European stocks fell before a government report that may show the U.S. housing recession is deepening. Credit Suisse Group, Allianz SE and UBS AG led a decline by financial shares. The Dow Jones Stoxx 600 Index lost 0.4 percent to 367.98 at 8:03 a.m. in London, dropping for the first time in six days. The Stoxx 50 slipped 0.5 percent, as did the Euro Stoxx 50, a measure for the euro region. ``I wouldn't be surprised if the situation in the U.S. housing market continued to worsen in the near term,'' said Edward Collins, a London-based fund manager at New Star Asset Management Group Plc, which manages about $41 billion. ``What worries me is the intraday volatility that we are seeing. I want to see that dry up before I get back into the market in a big way.'' New home sales probably dropped to the lowest level in seven years in July, according to the median forecast of 73 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Purchases fell to an annual rate of 820,000 last month from 834,000 in June. That would be the slowest pace of sales since June 2000. The Commerce Department report is expected at 10 a.m. in Washington. U.S. stocks yesterday fell for the first time in six days and Treasuries advanced after the nation's largest mortgage lender said the economy is heading for a recession. Asian stocks retreated for the first time in five days today. ``There are likely to be more nasty surprises from credit markets and hedge funds which will mean that there will be setbacks along the way to reaching new highs,'' said Richard Scott, who helps oversee about $1 billion at Iimia Investment Group in Exeter, England. Credit Suisse, UBS Credit Suisse, the second-largest Swiss bank, declined 1.3 percent to 78.75 francs. UBS, Europe's largest bank by assets, retreated 1.1 percent to 62.65 francs. Allianz, Europe's largest insurer, fell 1 percent to 157.4 5 euros. Petrotec AG lost 4 percent to 5.74 euros. The German producer of Biodiesel reduced its full-year sales target to between 65 and 68 million euros from 70 million euros. Aker Yards ASA fell 5.2 percent to 63.25 kroner. Europe's largest shipbuilder said second-quarter net income dropped 5.2 percent to 200 million kroner ($34.1 million), trailing the 231 million krone-average analyst estimate in an SME Direkt poll. Palfinger AG, the world's biggest maker of truck-mounted cranes, gained 5 percent to 36.05 euros after Merrill Lynch & Co. cut its recommendation on the stock to ``neutral'' from ``buy,'' saying ``upgrades to 2007 estimates appear less likely.'' Belgacom SA added 2 percent to 30.47 euros. Belgium's biggest phone company said first-half profit rose as the purchase of a 25 percent stake in its mobile unit Proximus from Vodafone Group Plc last year reduced minority interest payments.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hmm...looks like today might end up below 3300 level. Dow futures is in -ve territory now. Looking at yesterday Dow's performance, ending flat meaning giving back all gains to the market. Maybe that's why regional market are all in red. Good luck to those who is thinking of making some cash today.
