Market View 29 January 2010

Red is the obvious colour after yesterday US market close,
all 3 major indices fell more than 1%. Dow slided down 116
points, S&P 500 fell 42 points while Nasdaq lost 42 points
or 1.9%. Bad result from some corporation result and
global recovery worries once again is the trigger for the
decline. It pays to be on the cautious side at this moment.

Some skype members asked me what is my stand on the
current market situation, and whether I am still cautious
after STI posted a 51 points gain at yesterday's closing bell.
My stand is this: We maybe at a minor turning point now,
the thing is, in which direction. I want to see volume, volatility
and momentum back into our market in not just one day,
but a few days of market action. I don't just see one day's
market transactions and actions and decide that the market
is "officially" on a run again or will turn lower from now on.

I am still cautious optimistic about the market, and believe that
we are just having a much-needed break, and should resume the
upside path once again afterward. Because I am cautious, I will
not just push the blog readers or skype members into action,
but get them to watch the show from the sideline.
Do you know that you can learn a lot of things just watching the
daily market action unfold?
But you will "learn" even more things when you are in the action
yourself if you are not careful and trained.

If you want to trade today, stick to the greens, or else just go
for the CNY shopping. I don't think you will miss much today.
Don't worry, we will see more actions next week.

Market View 28 January 2010

US market is back in the green in overnight trading
after shaking off early losses and rebound to close
near day-high. The decision that the Fed kept interest
rate unchanged for an extended periood appears to
be welcomed by the market. Dow up 42 points, S&P 500
gained 5 points and Nasdaq added 18 with Apple running
up more than 1% after the revealing of the newest gadget,
Ipad. At 10am Singapore time, President Obama will
deliver his first State of the Union address, and it will be
closely watch by the market. We will see heavy-weights
like 3Com, Amazon, Microsoft and Ford Motor announcing
their result tonight.

Few day ago when the market was in a pool of red with both
the pennies and the blue chips plunging, one skype member
asked me about the the next support for STI. I answered it should
be 2700 next, which she answered that it was still so far away.
I commented that it is never that "far" when we are talking about
the financial market when the sentiment and momentum is gaining.
True to what I told her, the STI stands at 2706 at yesterday's closing,
only a mere 6 points shy of breaking the important psychological
support level.
Will we break it? I think we may have a test below that level,
but may rebound just as swift above it again. That is my personal view.

I don't think the market will be beaten down heavily again,
but I will still remain cautious in my trading from the time being.
Stick to the winner stocks, and trade lightly.
I maintain the view that we will have plentiful of great trading
and profit-making opportunities in the coming days.

Before I forget once again, I am running a poll on whether
the blog readers will be interested to know how to make money
from buying and trading IPOs, since it is likely we will have
IPOs buffet this year aka lots of money-making opportunities.
Vote in the poll if you are interested.

Market View 27 January 2010

Although we have a better-than-expected consumer
confidence report and impressive corporate results,
all 3 major US indices still ended the day in negative
territory. Dow reversed from positive territory to end
the day down 3 points, S&P 500 was down 5 points, and
Nasdaq gave up 7 points. The news that China ordered
banks to halt January lending brings cautions to the market
in a lightly-trade volume. We will see companies like Abbot,
Caterpilla and Qualcomm reporting today.

Ok, this was what I wrote on the blog yesterday:
"But take note that today is NOT a day to Show-hand.
Watch for the greens and follow them lightly. You will have
plentiful of opportunities in the coming days."
Look like I am proven right again, and the market reacted
very strongly to the China banks' measure, and it was a
rarely seen major sell-down of the year 2010. Luckily, not many
stocks were in green before the tidual wave sweep in, and
the selling begins. You will not lose much if you stick to your
cut-loss level or trailing stops.

I did tell some skype members that if they are able to
hold a good stock for the mid-term, yesterday was a good
buying opportunity as stock price tumbles. Some members
did so, and I believe they are already in paper profits already.
You see, you can't catch the lowest point of a stock and you
definitely won't know where is the bottom. I would rather
pick-up along the way than to miss the whole big chunk of
profit zone entirely.

If you are looking for trading opportunities today, simply
stick with the stronger green stocks. Once again, I was asked
whether Epure will reach $1 eventually by some members.
I am no God, but just a trader that follows Mr Market's script
to make $$ from the sentiment, momentum and volatility
of the stocks and market. Epure MAY reach $1 when the
momentum and sentiment is in play again. Period.

I will be cautiously optimistic and trade light today on the
winner stocks that are green. Take note that today is NOT a day
to Show-hand again. Don't worry. If the wave changes, you will have
plentiful of opportunities in the coming days.

Market View 26 January 2010

We have the US market snapping a 3-day losing streak to
close once again in the green again buoyed by the techs
and commodities stocks. Dow up a little but nice 23.88
points, S&P 500 added 5 points while Nasdaq gained 5.5 points.
Apple announced a staggering result in after-hour, and it
should lend support to another good run tonight hopefully.
We will have stocks like Dupont, Corning, Yahoo announcing
result tonight.

Ok, now back to SG.
I will be brieft today and go straight to the point.
Yes, to answer some readers and skype members, I still
believe that Epure will go above $1 when the sentiment is
favourable, and the momentum pick-up again. It may not
suceed but I will just trade on how the chart goes.
And yes, it should give support to the remaining water treatment
stocks, and I have mentioned Sinomem and Asia Enviro
in last few days' blog.

It is worth looking at the techs today as well, in particular
Broadway and Sinotel. I will also look for any movement
and activties in the O&M sector as they are always the sector
to move when the trading play begins.
But take note that today is NOT a day to Show-hand.
Watch for the greens and follow them lightly. You will have
plentiful of opportunities in the coming days.

Market View 25 January 2010

A simple recap: "U.S. stocks capped their worst three-day slide
in 10 months, with all indexes down more than 3 percent on the
week on fears the bank plan would cut profits, and uncertainty
about the Senate's confirmation of Ben Bernanke for another
term as the Federal Reserve chairman."
What is my take on the sell-off last week?
I take that to be a market correction due to some fiscal
policy changes, and not really a great fundamental shift.
This correction will not be that long-life, and should eventually
weaken once the concerns over the policy changes have been
addressed and deal with.

Ok, I will talk about Singapore stock market more...
Last friday, the market expect a sell-off and yes, we got one
at the early trading day with bloods seen everywhere.
I mentioned in last friday's blog that I am looking for green
leaves in a pool of red flowers, as they are the "stronger"
and will become the superstar of the day and even weeks.
You know what...I got the superstar in my winner stocks list.
They recovered from the day-low and close in the green,
and also reward the traders with good profits if they took
calculated risk. We saw Asia Enviro up 0.5 cts, Broadway added
5cts, CWT gained 0.5cts, Epure surged 3cts, Midas up 1cts,
Sinomem edged-up 1.5cts and Swiber added 2cts.
These are the strong stocks that close up strongly and I will
be watching them very closely today and this week for a repeat
of last friday's performance.

Most stocks will inevitably open weaker and in the red today,
but I don't believe we will see them closing in day-low or
even near to it. Strong stocks will emerge from the weaklings
and surge a powerful move to close in the green and at the
day-high. If you have the holding power, this is a great opportunity
to pick-up bargains in a pool of milky and chalky water for
succulent juicy fishes. Once the water is clear, you will have to
fight very hard for even a tiny fish. ;-)

My stock-watch this week will be the same as last friday for
the time being, and will be review (added or reduced) as the
trading days and week revealed.
