In my opinion, investers entering market at this time  got to  be more cautious and do your own homework. Singapore economy is still healthy and market will remain strong in mid and long term. Contra buying will not be adviceable as  sentiment in middle east remain tense, several good counters  had  hits several supporting level due to the selling pressure from force sell. It may be the  time to  bargain hunt for some good buy. 
Knowing Hulumas' style,
    I think he will tell you he is buying even some more...

Some 500 Libyans meanwhile stormed and looted a South Korean construction site near the capital, injuring about 15 Bangladeshi as well as three South Korean workers, Seoul's foreign ministry said.
In Cairo, Libya's envoy to the Arab League said he had resigned to " join the revolution" .
Tripoli's ambassador to Delhi also quit, as did a lower-level diplomat in Beijing who said Gaddafi may have left the country, Al-Jazeera television reported.
Several cities, including Libya's second most populous Benghazi, where the protest movement started, have fallen to demonstrators following the defection of some army units.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi vaguely promised reforms as he condemned the revolt as a foreign plot.
The elder and famously mercurial Kadhafi, 68, the longest-serving leader in the Arab world, remained out of sight as a human rights group said several cities were in the hands of the protesters, including Sirte where he has long received foreign visitors.

" Libya is at a crossroads. If we do not agree today on reforms ... rivers of blood will run through Libya," he said in a fiery but rambling televised speech that betrayed a note of desperation within his father's 41-year regime.
" We will take up arms ... we will fight to the last bullet. We will destroy seditious elements. If everybody is armed, it is civil war, we will kill each other ... Libya is not Egypt, it is not Tunisia."
Lucky i closed all position/profit taking/cut lost last friday. Market sentiment and STI  getting worse and worse each day till i go watch Topix/Nikkei porn  porn better. Dont know when all this rubbish/shit/wet sai last and dont know how bad it can be, so the best safe bet for me is to out of market for a while and waiting for market recovery. At least now i can sleep well, suck thumb and wet dream well without any ejection difficulty. Many govt now like to gang rape/target/kill lock property and contruction sector so it also better to stay away if u can, dont know how long they will rape them? Wish those still in market can survive this china intrested rape and those rubbish gone case riot at so many place. As u can now see everday  bad news is 90% more than good news and even 10% good news given to STI also no use, cause STI now had lose it manhood (banana spoil liao). I be back! cya and kiss kiss all :)
As long as you keep buying China related ADR then that will be okay I suppose! So far, I have quite handsome paper gain already!

Best is not to buy yet as prices will surely drop further in the coming weeks, especially for  casual investors who do not want to get their fingers burnt.  Expect at least another 5% downward revision.
TRUE. . . Best solution to solve this kind of situation!

so scary again !! how ??
You are right right...
  In this world, the majority people are prone to happily believe only in lies.
    And when the real truths are presented, the same people will reject the truth in favour of the lies.
            But what to do?  Not all people are brought up to think about the real truth...

Andrew has a legitimate point there re 'Freak Economics'...
  I remember at one time all the seafood restaurants and other restaurants
        everywhere were extremely fully-packed and with long waiting queues for seats.
              Everyone was making money by simply whacking blindly on any stock they fancy.
                      If one had shorted the market at that point in time, one would have reaped a fortune...

Currently reading " Crash Proof" by Peter Schiff.  Got book. He explain how the US garmen manipulate the data to show growth. In fact it is not growing, inflation is much much higher than what is reported, and the whole US economy is in fact suriving only on their garmen's spendings, aka, QE so there is an illusion  of growth...scary sia...think buy gold keep them under pillow safest bet nowadays....
Ya.....you should have done that long time ago......There is a name for it.....it is called Freak Economics.
From watching women dress trend you probably have a better gripe on the state of the economy at the macro.  Good economy short skirts, Bad economy long skirts. freaky izzit ?
It is a new class of study in macroeconomics........
