hi CWQuah,
Yes you are right SG market is cornered. Moving with BB is the way to profit. What to do when our market is so small that anyone who wish to write badly can easily manipulate stock price.
More disturbing is what has or have already been done to curb such practices?
Hehe since Oct 07 (bad time to start though ..... mkt downtrend all the way since then).
I guess some tools of the trade are essential to survive in the mkt... as you put it, Singapore mkt is practically cornered by BBs; so need to THINK and ACT like what the BBs do.
Another clue - it helps a lot to know which of the BBs are issuing analyst reports. Hehe.
Two foreign BBs not named below were certainly involved indirectly though their reports may bar them from taking certain positions.

Apart from Gold, what other valuable counters?
eh, sorry, meant generally in FA terms. ie, close to NAV, book-to-price is 2 or less.
those tend to be low betas tho, so won't really move with the market (ie, not for fast scalps). meant for holding at least a year.
keep an eye on gold. it's starting to get attractive.
caveat applies.

astute observation, cwquah. how long have you been playing/observing the market?
the biggest one is definitely local. i think one (or two--doesn't really matter) foreigner, and one more smaller local BB. the rest are cham-cham-chuee-chuee.
overall today's market is down not because of genuine distribution, but because of shorting. A lot of foreigner action, hence overall vol higher than expected. MS, ML, Citi, UBS. across the board. Won't name the local players.

Crews! Abandon ship!!
China Mother company also did not show a turn about...still waiting..

Still on down trend, today break the support at 2.77, expect a downward trend...

des_khor, cosco was a growth stock (note: was).. its day peaked when it dipped below $7.
since then, it needs to recalibrate, to what kind of stock it is.
which is also why it's a prime target for shorting: high PE ratio, high book to price. Even with the growth it reports, it's still overvalued.
and ahha, i see one of the houses have revealed themselves by that analyst report.

smalltimers, please, just stay out of htis counter. lots of other valuable counters if you want longterm.
