I also think that there is a strong resistance line at 19.30 range and the price may bounce back there again but if it does not break above that level, it will then go down again becuase this is how oscillating is like in a box.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Afterall, one has only a limited investment lifespan of a few decades (maybe at the very most 50 years or some of us even lesser if we started late in investing). We cannot afford to be always wrong for more than a decade or two out of 5 decades as it will set us back in our investments by very much. jeremyow      ( Date: 27-Mar-2017 12:13) Posted: So, after the past 10 years period from 2007 to now 2017, one should know roughly where he stands in comparison to the STI ETF' s performance. It is timely now that one should also then make a decision whether he will just simply invest all his money in STI ETF if his investment performance falls short of STI ETF. Or he can choose to gain more proven good investment knowledge and adjust his investment principles and method of operation to hopefully better himself in the next 10 years to beat STI ETF' s annualised returns for the next 10 years from now.  jeremyow      ( Date: 27-Mar-2017 11:59) Posted: I think if one has successfully grown his investments over a period of at least 10 years which is one market cycle, it will show that the principles and methods he used is good. If one has not grown his investments over the same period but instead see his investments dwindled in value, it shows that either the principles and methods he used are not good or he did not stick to the principles and methods. Which is which? Only he will know. At the end of the day, it is the investment track record that speaks louder than words. If one has grown his investment in value and make at least annualised returns of 7.37% (inclusive of dividends) over a period of past 10 years, then he is on par with investing in STI ETF. If he falls short of it, then it is better that he invests in STI ETF which will give him better annualised returns. If he beats the annualised returns of 7.37% (inclusive of dividends), then his investment principles and method of operation gives him far superior annualised returns than STI ETF and he should continue to operate in the same manner which gives him better annualised returns than investing in STI ETF. It is just that straight forward and simple. If one cannot beat STI ETF' s annualised returns of 7.37% over at least a period of 10 years in consideration, then it is better to invest in STI ETF. If one can beat STF ETF over a 10 years period having higher annualised returns, then one should continue in his method of investment opeartion which gives him higher annualised returns. A 10 years investment track record is the benchmark for comparison against STI ETF on one' s investment performance.

Actually, I think most of us are so stuck with observing Singapore market that we have missed out on a lot of opportunities elsewhere. It is like a frog in a well analogy. The US markets are the ones that have larger movement in share prices. Even their various indices outshine our STI Index in their annualised returns. So, Singapore market is puny compared to a lot of overseas markets out there if one is an adventurous and enterprising investor. If an investor has capitalised on the opportunities offered in US markets during the last sub-prime crisis in 2008-2009, one would have made much more returns than opportunities offered in Singapore market. Just to illustrate with a simple example on just one famous stock Apple Inc. During late 2008 to whole of 2009, Apple Inc. traded around $12 to $30. Fast forward to today, Apple Inc. is now trading around $140. If one has accumulated Apple' s shares at an average holding price of $21 for example during late 2008 to whole of 2009, one would have made a whopping 566% return in just around 8 years. A $150k investment in Apple Inc. in this scenario will multiply one' s investment value to become $1 million dollars now. And the time duration is only around 8 years to become a millionaire with a capital sum of only $150k. This is just one US company as an example to share which already surpasses investing in most companies in Singapore which cannot match up to that level of returns. During the last sub-prime crisis, even if one had invested a porfolio of US stocks of good US companies will have easily beaten a portfolio in Singapore stocks hands-down. Of course, there are other factors such as foreign exchange rate to consider. But, it is still very much more lucrative than investing in our Singapore market for the adventurous and enterprising investor. The fearless will always emerge winner. But of course, one must know what companies to buy. It is not anyhow " hoot" at ridiculously cheap prices. At the end of the day, one must first possess the requisite knowledge and methodology to operate from which forms the modus operandi, then followed by good amount of judgement and guts to make such rewarding enterprising moves when it comes to investing.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	If theres sentiment to be at $1, the fundamentals will also be in line. If fundamentals= sentiment= $1, all ur assets and businesses will also be in line. Now, when is the good time to buy or a good time to sell? jeremyow      ( Date: 27-Mar-2017 10:48) Posted: But I personally like market corrections as it is during such opportunate times when one can buy shares of good companies at cheap prices. Assuming the fundamentals of the good companies have not changed much like DBS for example, a short-term drop in its share price due to market correction which is sentiment driven rather than fundamentally driven is good golden opportunity to buy its shares cheap. The larger the drop in price the more " shiok" it is to buy the shares cheap. Afterall, it is always never wrong to buy and accumulate shares of good companies at cheap undervalued prices. There is always a limit how low the share price will go to for a solid good company. If the price trades too low, the company will become a take over target by another company. Or even a wealthy individual could also buy up the entire company if it trades at ridiculous low prices say $1 per share for DBS. I will gladly sell off all my assets and take up heavy loans to buy up all the shares of DBS if it ever drops to $1 driven by sentiments rather than fundamentals. But this will never ever happen unless DBS suffers a major permanent deteroriation in its fundamentals which is not impossible but a highly unlikely event. So one could only dream on........     jeremyow      ( Date: 27-Mar-2017 10:29) Posted: http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/21/investing/stocks-selloff-trump/ See above link from CNN Money. Looks like a correction is already in place now for the US markets. All US indices have corrected from their highs recently. But the correction so far for Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) from the high of around 21169.11 to current 20596.72 is only about 2.7% drop from its highest. Analysts and market watchers think that a 10% correction is possible and in fact is healthy for the US markets. If that is true, a 10% correction means there maybe a chance for DJIA to correct back to around 19052 zone. Afterall, DJIA have already peaked at a new high in Mar 2017 even higher than 2007 highest before the sub-prime crash.  The P/E ratio of Dow Jones is around 21 now. The highest historical P/E ratios reached in 1999 was 27.5 and in 2007 was 24. After reaching these highest P/E ratios in 1999 and also 2007, thereafter the bear markets started in those years. We are nearing the 2007 highest P/E ratio of 24 for DJIA and it has been a good bull run for 9 years already. I estimate that the current bull run may continue to run for a while more before a major correction begins which could be the next bear market if the correction is at least 20% and more. Afterall, according to historical market cycles, we are starting to get overdue for a bear market and the P/E ratios of US indices are nearing their highs.  In fact, a P/E ratio of 20.5 for DJIA during 1965 is already considered a high for the DJIA as it suffered a major bear market drop after that. The morale of the story is that even if a major bear market is not coming anytime soon this year, we are at least near to one at current valuation of DJIA.  According to the article above by CNN Money, a lot depends on President Trump' s ability to execute his policies. If he can deliver well in his policies which will continue to benefit the business and financial markets, the current rally will continue. As of current, the market is starting to become more realistic that the current presidential rally in the market maybe too euphoric and fast and we need to slow down to a more realistic level to see if President Trump really can indeed deliver well in his administration of his policies.  Due to the US markets current correction, Singapore market is also affected and DBS is not spared. The Ezra' s case may continue to have an overhang on DBS. But, I think it is better to wait for their next financial results release to see if anymore impact to its earnings. It is futile to keep speculating on this one case which I don' t think will cause DBS to become bankcrupt and cease its operations. Instead, I think the current drop in DBS price is more due to the correction in US markets. If US markets continue to correct in the days ahead, expect DBS and other bank share prices to come under more downside pressure.

The morale of the story is that even if a major bear market is not coming anytime soon this year, we are at least near to one at current valuation of DJIA.  According to the article above by CNN Money, a lot depends on President Trump' s ability to execute his policies. If he can deliver well in his policies which will continue to benefit the business and financial markets, the current rally will continue. As of current, the market is starting to become more realistic that the current presidential rally in the market maybe too euphoric and fast and we need to slow down to a more realistic level to see if President Trump really can indeed deliver well in his administration of his policies.  Due to the US markets current correction, Singapore market is also affected and DBS is not spared. The Ezra' s case may continue to have an overhang on DBS. But, I think it is better to wait for their next financial results release to see if anymore impact to its earnings. It is futile to keep speculating on this one case which I don' t think will cause DBS to become bankcrupt and cease its operations. Instead, I think the current drop in DBS price is more due to the correction in US markets. If US markets continue to correct in the days ahead, expect DBS and other bank share prices to come under more downside pressure.

Looks like a correction is already in place now for the US markets. All US indices have corrected from their highs recently. But the correction so far for Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) from the high of around 21169.11 to current 20596.72 is only about 2.7% drop from its highest. Analysts and market watchers think that a 10% correction is possible and in fact is healthy for the US markets. If that is true, a 10% correction means there maybe a chance for DJIA to correct back to around 19052 zone. Afterall, DJIA have already peaked at a new high in Mar 2017 even higher than 2007 highest before the sub-prime crash.  The P/E ratio of Dow Jones is around 21 now. The highest historical P/E ratios reached in 1999 was 27.5 and in 2007 was 24. After reaching these highest P/E ratios in 1999 and also 2007, thereafter the bear markets started in those years. We are nearing the 2007 highest P/E ratio of 24 for DJIA and it has been a good bull run for 9 years already.
