i think the market may be a bit dull for next month or so and may probably go down due to no big activity from overseas funds who were main driver into property stocks.
SGX will only pick up if local funds and local retail investors
begin to buy.

the main reason behind the global sell-down is likely the fact that
Bank of Japan increased interest rate last week catching lots of the big hedge fund guys who used to borrow cheap Japanese yen by surprise.
so to short cover their forex losses they are selling out their profits in shares

just my 2 cents contribution.

Good US manufacturing data.........'The Institute for Supply Management's index of manufacturing activity came in at 52.3, stronger than the 50.0 reading analysts expected. The index is an important measure of a part of the economy that has given investors headaches in recent months. Manufacturing has struggled and at times given off signals that a recession might be in the offing. A reading at 50 and above indicates expansion, while anything below 50 signals contraction......' showed that there is no danger of recession.

NO REASON TO PANIC!

Beware of the coming Full Moon (newmoon's ealier warning)...

It may affect people's behaviour, and thus may cause some sort of havoc, which may thus in turn affect stocks.

A 3-day's correction? Any possibility of a longer one?

Global market very similar to last year May sell down after BOJ increased interest rate to 0.25%.

Expect STI to have 10~14% correction from it's peak (~ 3232) before picking up again.

thanks rickytan... :)

The simple reason I am a short-term investor is that I am a strictly technician (ie. chartist).

Also, I think so-called 'long-term investing' is fraught with greater risks than commonly realised.

I think I am also more short term than long term.  I will usually sell &  take profit when I make 10 to 20%. Still new and learning. Thank you for your sharing as I enjoy reading your posts :)

Strictly speaking, I am an investor.

But the difference is, long-term investing is just not my cup of tea.

You can say I am a short-term investor. .. :)

Today, much action falls on many stocks getting their down gaps covered.

(much downward gapping ocurred yesterday).

No worry. If get cheaper can buy some more. I am sure these are counters with good fundamentals. No reason for such ridiculous price, looking at their full year results. Luckily did not buy last week.
