good to start today with some greens...

 

I dunno. From what my dealer is telling me, it's just a short rally in response to the massive selldown over the last few days.

 

Tomorrow is Friday, and if I had gotten something cheap yesterday and see it rise today, I might wanna dump it tomorrow. Personally, I'm using this short rally to queue some of my holdings for sale at a price better than yesterday's!

 

Of course I could be wrong, and I hope I am, and that that's the end of the correction.... but after the last few days, who isn't jittery??

[joekia]

Well... Dealers aka brokers can be wrong tooo.. take wat they say with a pinch of salt. hahaha

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah I know.

 

But seriously, if it climbs today, I'm selling!

I already adjusted my sell price accordingly from yesterday. haha....

HO, RBOB like the rest are classed under energy.

 

many others include nat. gas futures, penultimate swaps, henry hub, pjm western hub peak swap futures, wti on ICE platforms and also brent, ethanol fwd mth swaps and countless others.

 

guess if u look deep enough into anything, it will get complicated

true and i just that's why it's hard to invest commodities using fundamentals (unless you are a guru that can piece up all these puzzles), trading will be more suitable

 

hmm ... unemployment better than previous but worst than forecast

 

toyota jialat, how come end up with many recalls? And GM is trying to capitlizing on this siutation now (offer GM cars for toyota?) hohohohoho

 

MAS stop FED credit swaps facility ... becoz liquid has return to market? I remember during the crisis, FED established a few swaps to singapore, korea to maintain liquidlity

last 2 days bot about $60k worth after taking some profits on ST Eng and M1.

 

Straits Asia $2.14 target $2.40 Loking to buy more under $2

Capitaland $3.84 target $4.25 look to buy more under $3.50

KReit $1.11 (longer term hold)

 

swopping some defensive ones to some swingers.

load on some risk.

 

this pullback is good for cooling off the market.

 

i'm mildly bullish but as usual always on the lookout to take profits.

Not too greedy.

[mrlazy]

where's the fun if ure playing small?

 

but then again, just hop over to the nearest casino and wack the whole wad down on either player or banker, that should get the heart pumping.

yeah big-small ... 45%-45% chance? no need to wait so long

i remember seeing one fellow using martingale system to bet on big-small in casino. oh boy, i can see his hand shaking when he bets ... very intense, i guess he needs money urgently

there's greed & fear, both working against each other at this point in time, but which is the greater one??

 

IMO, Greed has been working for the past 6 months, its grown too BIG. BE CAREFUUULLL......

oh yes, martingale.

 

Ive tried that before.

starting from a min. 10 a hand, I have doubled up to about nearly 3000 per bet.

 

method is only restricted by table limits and your capital.

 

if not its a sure win method that will bring down the house.

[CMYRS]

NASDAQ -52.29 -2.35% 2,169.12

[DeusExMachina]

STI approaching green. SSE and SZE are quite well into the green.

What happened?? Anyone knows?

 

Hope it goes above water level after lunch.

[joekia]

I'm looking at overall index. STI top 20 volume also mostly red and non-movers. Only have 3 gainers. HSI now -77 from previous day. Nikkei -114. Was worse earlier. Seems to have tapered off and is recovering.

[joekia]

Laosai liao... hahahaha

[CMYRS]

this is the first wave according to the NY, Chicago traders.

 

there should be a 2nd round to wipe out those who bought on the rebound as prices across the board are to low for further sell downs.

[GuiNNeSS]

Throttle still Throttle but not Derek.

 

You are Wayne, right?

 

 

yes yes... we met for beers long long time ago.

[GuiNNeSS]

Laosai liao... hahahaha

 

you can say that again.....

[DeusExMachina]

Laosai liao... hahahaha

 

Yeah. Lao sai again after lunch, now recovered again.

 

Funny day. And lo and behold... my counters are still holding and intact.

[CMYRS]

asian mkts generally follow the europeans and they have been green mostly, dat is why.
