What Shares To Invest?????

[cymon]

Never buy a stock because you think it is cheap.
Buy when the market is fearful.
Look at the trading volumes, it is not fearful now.
Can see greed in the market.

current price abt 5 yr ago prices.

prop counter kanna ore bak kat, but still not tht low.

i rem the lowest i paid for kepland ( abt 8 - 9 yrs back i think ) .. was 52cents... the lowest i recall trsnsacted was abt 47cents... last yr, highest was abt $9+ .. now less thn $1.7 .... i think there's still down side... read capitaland CEO article... on hold all prop purchae/ investment... i think he see prop to go down next yr.

as for property prices ( not shares )... my frd say next yr prop pricces mati, cos lotsa TOP ( project complete ) next yr & follwing, so those who opt for deffered payment til TOP... cham...plus if bank refuse to lend, low return, no demand, no new investment, no FT, company shrink operation, pull out etc.. gonna contribute to prices mati....

When DBS<$6, capitaland<$2, you will looking forward for DBS<$3, capitaland<$1....

Now mkt already drop close to SARS level... so unless more bad news coming, e.g. Sands go busted, SARS again, USA war with Iran, etc... Now consider as RELATIVELY (don't say I misleading huh...) low.... ha ha....

bro, it is just the beginning of bear in SGX... so be prepared,,, DBS <$6 not analyased by me hahaha.. SARS outbreak and financial breakdown are 2different issues which affect the shares price...

If the malfunction of banks not recover within 2years, it will lead to depression where high unemployment willl kick in...

My fren in US semi-con company had already been retrenched... jobless now, need to pay for his big car and condo...
OT:
yesterday all petroleum price had been reduced to $1.6~$1.7++, but PUB still increased the electricity bill by 20%!

bearish market

End of the world????

No No No ... begining of a new world.
Opportunity for ppl to turn fortunes around.
Many rich ppl will become normal, while some normal ppl will sieze opportunity and turn fortunes around..
Slowly go thru sieve thru' the "crushed" stock and pick up some good blue chips. Lock them in for 2-3 years..
I believe the returns will be good...

Yes, you are right... I don't recommend ppl to play contra too... it is just somehow for the past 2-3 weeks, the stock market trend were the same, once the market has a big drop of 2-3 market day, I buy. And lucky enough, the market went up the following week (like monday and tuesday), so I sell loh... been doing this for the past 2-3 weeks....

Of course I buy only when there is a "big" drop in the market like thursday's market but never know friday drop somemore... ha ha.... so now has to stick to your strategy, hold on to these blue chips and lock away...

LKY is one of the GREATEST Politician in the world. On the other hand, in the I don't really believe in his idea on the finanical market.

116520, I am no stock guru..
I do not recommend contra trading in today's volatile market.
However I do encourage picking up bit by bit blue chips stocks and lock away.
As LKY said, unless some banking fundamentals go wrong, the economy will return in 2-3 yrs..
I have lots of respect for LKY.
Most importantly, u must hv holding power..

As long as you buy and sell within the grace period given by your bank's broker, you only need to pay the difference at the due date if stock price is down. If stock price is up, the bank will send you a cheque

now still can play contra???tot got new regulations on it liao...hmm....

[feilong108]

roosterkkk, hopefully you're right. Bought some blue chips on Thursday (23Oct2008), thought market will bounce on Friday, instead got burn a bit. Luckily earned a bit for the past 3 weeks from playing contra.... keeping my fingers cross now...

As grave and real as the economy and the credit crunch is... it doesn't warrant the kind of panic that the world markets are showing...

It is just the exact opposite of irrational exuberance... whatever it is... its totally irrational...
