Hooray, STI is recovering now.
Thanks BT for your hint on OLAM.
I took a look at the chart, looks good as it broke its resistance at 3.34 yesterday and closed at 3.38. What a good opportunity to buy at 3.33 today. Expect OLAM for follow other commodities stock to announce good result tomorrow.
Cheers

There are many styles, this is the one that I choose because it works for me.
Post positive earnings, the stock will have a upward spike. Usually this is a good time to sell.
Put the profits back into a stock that is about to announce earnings.
After that stock announces positive results, spike up, sell again. And put into another stock.
After earnings season is over, the trading strategy will change to a more sustainable style.

Correction in US market too - market consolidated after a streak of bull run + fear for QE2 impact prior to G20 meeting tonight =)
Funny for me - it was up because of good QE2 and down also due to fear of QE2's impact.
I guess it has some impact on Singapore Market as usual. However, I believe it will be better.
Double up my stake in GSP as well. Playing out for result tomorrow. I dont believe it to be bad, considering how well the gambling industry is doing at the moment.
Just my 2 cent

Noble has a 19% improvement on profits. It is ok. Pending analyst upgrade should go up again.
My style is stock rotation post earnings announcements.
Putting some back into GAR and Olam.
