Market View 30 April 2009

Ok, so stocks surge up high yesterday,
but is it a one-off or will the momentum
continues?

Yesterday's surge maybe a pent-up mood
by the traders in the market (a rebound).
The Swine Flu is not getting better, in fact,
it is getting worse as I writing now. WHO has
raised the current level of influenza pandemic
alert from phase 4 to 5, with 6 the highest in the scale.

Yes, we are prepared for any incoming into our
country, and we may suffer only "mild disease",
but it is still going to impact the world as a whole,
and there is no escaping it.

From what I gathered from fellow traders and
friends, there are quite a number of "naked short"
executed by the "shorties" on Monday and Tuesday,
hoping that the market will get worse on T+4,
and they will pocket big profits when SGX buy-back
for their "naked". They may or may not get what they
desired, and it depends on what stock did they naked
shorted, but if the market were to surge up in the
coming days, we will see all these shorties entering the
market to push up the stocks in an attempt to
minimise their losses. It will be an interesting scene
to watch on next Monday and Tuesday trading.

Market will still be weak, as the fears and worries are
still in the market, and it will curb the momentum from
going stronger, but certain Hot stocks in the news will
still be volatile and heavily traded, like Straits Asia, KS Tech,
Raffles Education.

Since today is the last trading day of the week, I will be
taking a cautious but nimble view at today's trading.
I will be concentrating my trade on the Hotstocks: Ezra, Cosco,
Straits Asia, Indo Agri, Noble, NOL, Olam, SembMarine,
Yanlord & Uniasia, Raffles Edu, Midas, Swiber.
Be cautious, and stay in the sideline if you want,
and take a super-long weekend break for all
the recent "labours".
Happy Labour Day!

Market View 29 April 2009

Ok, what else can I say?
The Swine Flu worries and fear had swept
across the world markets, and the indexes
and stocks are sliding down, and rightly so.
But one got to wonder why did our market
& Uncle Sam only dropped teeny-weeny points,
while rest of the Asia and Europe markets
reacted more drastically?

Now that we have raise our alert level to "yellow",
and MM Lee said that we are prepared for the
Swine Flu from our experience from SARS,
and we got all precautious in place, our market
should at least take a break from the 2 days'
slide. Nevertheless, Stay Healthy, don't need
to panic now. Life goes on as usual, just be prepared
for any happening.

Yes, sentiment will still be very weak, and any
bad news on the Swine Flu from aboard and within
will once again cause sellings across the boards,
but I believe investors may have started to nip-up
some good fundamental stocks which will be the
first to react up once the coast is clearer.
The market will start to move up before the Swine
Flu is "officially" cleared, as it always move ahead
of any news in anticipation, so you may, just only may,
miss the boat again if you wait, wait, and wait for
the clear sky.

Stocks will open weak, or neutral, but it is likely the selling
will not be that Fast and Furious, unless we have
bad news coming in. I will be cautious in trading today,
and will stick to those in the green, or in the news.
Stay on the sideline if you want.

I will be nimble for any quick trades, if possible, and
concentrating my trade on the Hotstocks: Ezra, Cosco,
Straits Asia, Indo Agri, Noble, NOL,Olam, SembMarine,
Yanlord & Uniasia, Raffles Edu,Midas, Swiber.
We just may see more green leaves today....

Market View 28 April 2009

Our market index STI closed at a "beautiful"
1818 yesterday, and most of the stocks suffered
and slide down due to the Swine Flu concerns,
and World Economy worries, mainly Uncle Sam.

I am not sure if you remembered what happened
during the 2003 SARS period, but I certainly do.
Our market was down and weak after the 2000
Tech Bubble burst, and it is exactly the SARS crisis
that revived the market and propel it up all the way
until the recent Subprime issue in Uncle Sam.

This time, we are having the Swine Flu crisis, and
the market will magnify the effect, and many stocks and
the index will once again take a hard beating,
as panic selling is done by worried and clueless investors
and retailers. But this is exactly the Best time to
pick up good stocks, because once the crisis is over,
and it will be over, we are going to have a great rebound.
If you have entered into the market in 2003 SARS period,
you should have more than 100% gain in some stocks
and the index too.
Take note that, if things can't get any worse, it got nowhere
to go, but UP.
I see history repeating itself yet again.....

Nevertheless, take good care of your health,
and be prepared for the Flu to arrive at our
homeland, as we are in a global village,
and it is simply too easy for the Flu virus to get
carried to anywhere in the world.

Yesterday saw the only green leaf in a big
red pool of flowers, Olam, and it is likely to be in
focus in the next few trading sessions.
We may see some stocks fallen down the $1 mark,
and it is a great chance to trade them again,
but only when the north wind is blowing, if you
are cautious.

I will be cautious and concentrating my trade on the Hot
stocks: Ezra, Cosco, Straits Asia, Indo Agri, Noble,NOL,
Olam, SembMarine,Yanlord & Uniasia, Raffles Edu,Midas, Swiber.
At the time of writing the blog, Straits Asia is taking a trading
halt, and it should be a significant news coming out.
The palm plantation stocks maybe in focus again today,
as Credit Suisse raised the target of Indoagri and Wilmar to
$1.15 and $3.84 respectively, and the surge may happened again
after what happened after Goldman Sachs upgraded them recently.

There may still be panic selling around the market
today, but we are likely to see more greens on closing.
If you are clueless what to trade today, then simply
wait for clearer direction, or trade light on the green leaves.

As usual, enter a position will a Trailing Stop,
and Please practice strict (Risk)Money-management.
If you don't like what you see in the market,
simply don't trade.

Market View 27 April 2009

This week, we only have 4 trading days,
as we are rewarded with a "Labour Day" holiday
on friday, and a super-long weekend is on the line
for many.


Seriously, I don't have a clear-cut view of this week's
trading. In my heart, I hope for stocks to drop for
one week, and Uncle Sam and STI to continue to
slide down the scale. But in my heart and chart,
I am looking at some stocks that are still strong in
momentum and should perform well this week.
Take note that any bad corporate result/data
from Uncle Sam and local will dictate how our
market will move.

Also, keep a watchful eye on the swine flu that
is on its way to spreading around the world.
If this flu gets worse, and many people get inflected,
and if it finally touchdown in Singapore, we will have
a great issue to deal with, as it will be another SARS
period for us again.
Stay healthy, and get prepared.

For this week and today, I will be concentrating my bullets
on the Hot stocks: Ezra, Cosco, Straits Asia,Indo Agri, Noble,
NOL, Olam, SembMarine,Yanlord & Uniasia, Raffles Edu,
Midas, Swiber.
I will be fighting light battles with them unless I saw great
buying support and north wind blowing hard.
Nevertheless, I still very much welcome any powerful
forced-selling and/or "profit-taking"exercises" being
carried-up by the Houses.
Come on! Show me what you got!
Sell all you want, I can simply don't join in the market.
It is the "sitting" that makes me the money.

We are at the last trading day of the week,
and it is turning up to be another good week
for Uncle Sam and our local market.
Although I feel that the markets should take
a well-deserved break, and retrace further,
Mr Market is thinking otherwise.
It is always the market leading the man, and
not the opposite, but as time goes by, the
chances of a eminent south wind increases.

I mentioned 2 stocks, IndoAgri and Goodpack,
in my other blog, and they are doing very well,
if you have noticed them. IndoAgri's surge maybe
due to the bullish report by a foreign research house,
but it has been up about 20% since my entry in the blog,
and well heading toward the $1 mark.

I added Goodpack in my blog yesterday when it closed
at 80cts on Wednesday, look at its closing on Thursday,
it is at an wonderful price of 87.5cts, with a day-high
of 89.5cts, but with a low volume.
No, I did not "cause" it to surge.
But as what I have mentioned before, stocks are
in the 80s region for reasons, and one of them is
to prepare for the surge to and pass the targeted
$1 mark, so keep a look-up for all these potential
$1-seekers in my the other blog.

I believe we will see a pretty quiet day, and it is
likely to be the same state for the whole day.
I am cautious today, and will only trade light on
those very Hot stocks, like IndoAgri.
Therefore, I will only be concentrating my bullets
on the Hot stocks: Ezra, Cosco, Straits Asia,Indo Agri, Noble,
NOL, Olam, SembMarine,Yanlord & Uniasia, Raffles Edu,
Midas, Swiber.
I still very much welcome any powerful forced-selling
and/orprofit-taking"exercises"being carried-up by
the Houses.

Ok, so Uncle Sam declined for consecutive days
after starting the day with sunshine, it ended with
a thunderstorm. The market is also "stressed"
about the coming "stress-test" result announcement.
Our market already pre-dropped
before this eminent decline, and we should see a
better day in today's trading.

Most of the Hot stocks, with the exception of
Indo Agri and Yanlord, fell hard yesterday, and
quite a handful had fallen to attractive price yet again.
Ezra is now at 92.5cts, ready for the next attempt
for the $1 hurdle. Cosco is now so near to the cliff
as it closed the session at 1.05, just steps away from
falling down, if it continues to slide further.

I believe that stocks will open weaker or neutral
on opening, but we are likely to see much better
closing as the trading day proceed, but I will still
be cautious today, as the possibility of sudden
strong south wind exists.

Therefore, I will be fighting light batter today,
concentrating on the Hot stocks: Ezra, Cosco, Straits Asia,
Indo Agri, Noble, NOL, Olam, SembMarine,Yanlord & Uniasia,
Raffles Edu, Midas, Swiber.
I still very much welcome any powerful forced-selling and/or
profit-taking"exercises"being carried-up by the Houses.
Show me what you got!

I received a few emails questioning me about the entry
of Uniasia in my watchlist. I have to say that this stock
is really embedded deeply in many's mind, and it seem
to spook them just by mentioning or hearing its name.
It is a highly speculative stock when it is "on-form",
but as long as you have strict money management aka
cut loss point together with trailing stops when you
are winning, you should be well.
Nevertheless, if you don't wish to, simply ignore and
discard Uniasia from your trading, it is just a causal
remark made by me yesterday.
To me, it is just another stock, but it got an dreadful
history, that's all.

As usual, enter a position will a Trailing Stop,

office politics, etc, try flipping "stressed" and have
some "desserts", and I am sure you will feel much better

Market View 22 April 2009

Uncle Sam closed on a high note in overnight
session, and our market pre-surged and have
already factored-in this anticpated green closing.
I don't foresee any big movement in today
trading session.

As expected in yesterday's blog, we indeed saw
a couple Hot stocks reversing from red and end-up
in neutral or green closing. I believe some readers
should have benefited from yesterday's volatile
session.

I certainly don't foresee any drastic and huge movement
in today's trading, but if Hang Seng or Nikkei decide to
lead the surge (plunge), and the US futures is as rosy (bleak)
as it can get, then we will just drag along and perform.
Otherwise, we shall have a quiet and peaceful trading day,
in that some Hot stocks will still in the play.

I will be adding 2 more stocks into my stock radar screen,
and they are Indo Agri and Uniasia. Indo Agri looks very
well heading toward the magical mark of $1 powerfully.
I added in this stock in my another blog when it crossed
the 80cts mark, and if you have noticed it, you may have
profited from its yesterday forceful surge.

I believe many readers will remember the Uniasia saga
in 2007 when it staged an incredible and monstrous rally
from 0.50+ to a high of $2.97 in a very short time, and the
drastic fall to the hard ground which left many retailers
high and dry with their high entry price, and launch a
complain to the SGX. I don't recall any official statement
from SGX about this saga, and like it always do,
the rest is history. (I stand to be corrected about the official
statement)

I noticed Uniasia had an exceptional volume and range
last week, and I have been tracking its progress and
have decided to add it into my close watch. It is not to say
it will perform the "colossal" surge again, but if and when
it happens, I will know since it is under my radar.

Therefore I will be concentrating on my Hot stocks: Ezra, Cosco,
Straits Asia, Indo Agri, Noble, NOL, Olam, SembMarine,
Yanlord & Uniasia, Raffles Edu, Midas, Swiber.
I still very much welcome any powerful forced-selling and/or
profit-taking"exercises"being carried-up by the Houses,
as the filtrationof weak holders need to be carried out.
