Capitamall Asia IPO
When the IPO was first launched, it received much fanfare and hype. We can see that it was oversubscribed due to the great interest in a great brand name and that it is the 2nd largest IPO, $2.8B, ever. The lure of a huge potential upside to growth i...
Pennies in Play
Having had not much time these few weeks to analyze the stock market proper, I only managed to steal glances at EOD indices and at my portfolio. I’m about 1k plus (less than 3%) away from my breakeven since the stock market peak in 2007. Gosh, itâ...
Charts Series #2
The recent market rally seems to be pausing after a huge run up. Even Hang Seng has breached 20,000. Fundsupermart has an article on this level. It seems that valuation has been reached for the moment. Long term investors can still hold. Minor correc...
SIA Dividend of SATS!
Today SIA released its dividend of SATS shares. Just nice on my birthday. Chartnexus’ SIA chart looks funny they seem to have shifted the SIA chart prices by a quantum, hence making it look as though the price jumped up above the resistance level...
Charts Series #1
Waiting for breakdown? Possibly due to divestment of SATS. But somehow I believe shareholders’ value will be unlocked and released. Meaning.. SIA now < SIA after divestment + SATS shares distributed STI on the uptrend though extremely overbou...
More Charts!
Hmmm.. Sihuan has pushed above the ascending triangle on a day of high volume. Then again, this counter has always been a low volume counter and the relatively higher volume might not be that high after all. SIA just hit the short term support. Will...
SIA – Waiting for results?
Triangle formation with decreasing volume. Let’s wait for 31 July 09 and see the follow through of the decision of SATS divestment to shareholders....
Analyst Reports 25 – Continuation of Support Breach
Mimosa’s blog post on Head and Shoulders formation triggered me to do some charting to see where the markets are heading. It does seem that most of the marketing are correcting from their recent run up as well. Most notably India’s BENSEX which d...
Analyst Reports 24 - Near and Probably Broke Support
Long time since i posted. And I have been facing some problems uploading Analyst Reports files into Mediafire as well. It says that my router has a problem when I never had the problem before. Apologies for that. Will have to troubleshoot till it wor...

Investment Commentary from my Financial Advisor

Analyst Reports 23: Eastern Markets vs Western Markets?
Image by babblingdweeb via Flickr I think it goes without saying that the Indian Stock Market stunned everyone to death today. 17% up in one day is amazing compared to STI’s gains over the last few weeks. I wonder whether a total market halt...
Analyst Reports 22: Bull Market or Bear Rally?
The past week has been spectacular again. Another jab in the heart. A fellow blogger on his post, “Green Shoots” Sprouting In Global Markets, quoted a very interesting piece of article. Sometimes it makes me wonder how come the stock market does ...
Analyst Reports 21: Feeling Dismayed at Today’s Meteoric Rise?
Image via Wikipedia Don’t you feel dismayed when you see the regional stock markets shoot up today? This is particular so when you have just exited and stayed on the sideline. Well, that’s how i felt when I left work and saw the news t...
Markets Update - Sell and Go Away in May?
Just to put up a very short post following up on my last post on the point of reckoning. I think it is more and more apparent that most markets will be heading down for a time being. Some famous economist say that things will get worse. Roubini is hi...

Analyst Reports 20: Point of Reckoning
Image by bass_nroll via Flickr As a follow-up to my 2 last posts, I’ve decided to do some charting today because it does seem that we have reached a point of reckoning for most markets. It’s amazing to see STI keep climbing up without ...
Analyst Reports 18: Expect the Unexpected?
Image via Wikipedia I find this utterly disgusting. In my last Analyst Report, I have mentioned that most of the markets were supported at that time of posting. The next day, it broke the support by a few points. At that time, I felt pretty lousy,...

Analyst Reports 15 - The Downtrend Begins?
When was the last time I blogged? hmmm… I must say that employment in a recession tends to suck a person a lot more. It’s an employers’ market now, in contrast to 2 years back when employees can afford to be choosy with their jobs. ...
Analyst Reports 14 - STI Soared!
STI gapped up a whooping 5% again since a couple of weeks ago after the CNY holidays. DOW is on a slow increase too. The recovery is due to oversold levels. But I’m watching for it to continue the downtrend. Markets are horribly volatile. Excel...
A Very Red Dow
tsk tsk. Dow is 3% down at the time of posting. Even Europe side is 6% down. Looks like everything is crumbling down before CNY itself. I’m looking to cut loss if it hits my stop loss target. Better to lose small in many amounts than a big one ...
Analyst Reports 13 - Support Broken?
I’d thought things looked good when market was up in the morning especially when DOW was down yesterday. But I was dismayed when i saw red when i just reached home. Oh well. The short term uptrend might be broken (at least from what i have le...
Analyst Reports 12 - Sinking after Flying?
It’s funny to see after my last post update on the markets, everything seem to go downhill. Looks like the market has taken back nearly the 10% it has gained in that 2 days. Looking at the chart, STI seems to be in an upward trading band. Attac...
Analyst Reports 11 - Indeed a Flying Start
I have gotten feedback that my links to the analyst reports always break. I think i know what’s the problem - wordpress always relink the reports due to categorization of the post. I have sourced for an alternative and will put future reports i...
Analyst Reports 10 - New Year New Start!
Happy New Year to one and all! Some of you might be waiting for this so here it is. Sorry for taking so long. It’s a pretty long list of reports. Hope i did not get some mixed up with the last batch cos there were too many. STI rose quite a bit...
Capitamall Up by 87.5% in one day?
You gotta be kidding me. I was shocked when i looked at the component stocks of STI at the end of the day. CapitaMall shot up by87.5%, up $1.4, bringing up the index increase from 1% to 3%. What exactly happened? Here is how it looks on a TA chart. ...

Analyst Reports 9 - So much Reports at this time?
The last update was a week ago and in between, I received so many analyst reports as attached below. Gosh. It’s funny how charts work when one is doing technical analysis. Having a blog to ‘document’ your charting makes you think th...
Analyst Reports 8 - STI Breakout
In my last post, I mentioned that there was something fishy with STI. It is confirmed yesterday after the national holiday that STI broke out of its triangle pattern on the upside. It is further affirmed today with the big upside as well. STI is the ...
