If the Aust Exch is of any guide.  It went down 3.7% in the first few mins.  Some 2.5 hrs later it had recovered some losses to 2.3%.



Our SGX went down by a larger 5.4% within the first few mins. Somehow our recovery is quicker too now down 4.1% after 40 mins.  Like to think there is some short-selling factor when mkt opened this morning. 



For those who decide to hang in there and not liquidate, hold on tight and I think and hope there will be some backtracking of the loses over the past 2 days soon.   Good luck.



Cheers ...

This all started by China side and then US. There is something about next week is even more drastic when I called my broker just now. Watch out for next week. It is an opportunity to short, if you dare. Good Luck.

drop of 160 pts = approx 5%, follow DOW. Can't worst than this, if goes further down, stout-hearted can pick up.

Unless you're a shortist, better to wait for the dust to settle.

In sympathy with the DOW last night, I think there will be a knee-jerk reaction with the STI's opening drop of about 100 pts (3%) this morning.

The way I look at the current market conditions is just a healhty correction. No reason to cause any panic. No war, No crisis and No Major Bad News

sporeguy.

the last part of the DBSVB call: if fall below 3193, support then is at 3060.

Looking at the large insti sells on quite a few blues, STI likely to go below 3200 tmrw.

hanwudi...i don't do shorting. but yes. it's likely a shortist's market tomorrow. pick your counters wisely tho. highest chance might be with the blues that haven't dropped too much yet, and which posted large institutional sells today. good luck. ;)

From elfin's post in the DOW tread :

DBSVB call:support for STI at 3215. If fall below 3193, it negates the rising trend. sorry for posting on dow thread; indices are all linked to me....

Repost for ref : From my earlier post, support is at 21MA of 3200, below this could mean a correction.

3618 is a 12% increase from 3232. So 3618 may end in 2 months time.

3847 is 19% increase from 3232. 3847 may end in 3 months time.

May03, end of previous bear and start of present bull.

1st wave May03 (STI= 1205) to Apr04(STI=1906) Increase =701.

2nd wave Apr04 (STI=1906) to May04(STI=1690), decrease =216.

3rd wave May04 (STI=1690) to May06(STI=2660), increase=970.

4th wave May06(STI=2660) to Jun06(STI=2278), decrease =382.

5th wave Jun06(STI=2278) to ?

1 possibility is 2278+1.618x970=3847 (close to some instituitional estimate of 3900).

Study this : (2-0.618)x701(1st increase)=969 approx = 970 (2nd increase, wah, only 1 pt difference).

Another possibility is 3rd increase =(2-0.618)x970=1340. Thus end of 5th wave could be 2278+1340=3618.
