FOMC Meeting yesterday and today is a non-event.
It is Jerome Powell' s last meeting as Fed Chair.
And everyone already knows the Fed is going to leave interest rate unchanged.
That' s why its a non-event.
I supposed half the time during the meeting, Powell must have said to himself...." Why the F should I care ? All this Boh Wa Eh Tai Chi leow" . 
And during deliberations, any reference to the future as in we are going to do this if we see this and we are going to do that if we see that
has absolutely no meaning for Powell. Its like a man who has 3 months more to live...he cant be talking about long term investment or
building up a dividend portfolio or talking about next time I want to visit this country or next time I want to go to this place to try something
there etc etc...all the " next time" talk will be meaningless. But if Powell counts his blessings, he had 2 terms. Trump appointed Powell during
Trump' s 1st presidency. Biden did not replace Powell. He reappointed Powell. So Powell got to serve 2 terms. 

 

200EMA rebound - oversold RSI sets up tomorrow' s test: hold, channel, or S4

Price rebounded at the 200EMA. With RSI deep in the oversold zone, tomorrow will show if it can hold the 200EMA, slip toward the lower channel, or even probe S4.

 

no, price low is not because no share buyback

...

the market is generally weak. Look at Keppel, DBS, STEng, all floundering. Singtel no exception ..

a correction of 10 percent is healthy..


most counters that move up over a long term correct themselves and then move up.

Extra cautious is needed to play this counter

So, the pied piper is leading the way and taking all the town' s children down the cliff. Never to be seen again. Which did happen.

 

Okay then.

Can put chips on the table and roll the dice.

No point regretting not selling it when above $5,  just continue to hold, collect dividend and sigh.  😡 Caesar      ( Date: 29-Apr-2026 12:07) Posted: Hello sis Halle. Firstly, I din expect it to drop so drastically. Secondly, the fees are higher and we don't have control over the selling price if sell through CPF. It's like that want la, shares you sell price goes up (like aem), shares you haven't sold price goes down. Sigh ..

 

I think they cannot ask you to pay a fuel surcharge after the ticket is sold.
But I guess they always have the right to cancel a flight and refund you the original ticket price.
This is something which an airline will do under very extenuating circumstances - like if proceeding with the flight will
cause the airline to lose LOTS of money. Then worth the commercial falloff to cancel the whole flight to avoid such a
huge loss. If higher cost of fuel means the airline makes less or breakeven or maybe lose a bit, then I think they will
value their reputation more and still proceed with the flight.

I read a story where a passenger was the only passenger in one flight. Dunno how that can ever happen but it happened.
So when that passenger boarded the plane, the Captain made an announcement over the public address system and
said " Welcome on board, Mr So and So" and addressed the passenger by name. Imagine a long haul flight where you
are the only passenger and you get all the attention and have as much food and drinks as you want. The best part is
no need to queue for toilet when you need it and lots of overhead compartment for your luggage bag. But becoz you
are the only passenger, the aircon which is designed to keep 300 to 400 people cool will be too cold for you. But you
will be able to lift the armrest of 3 seats side by side and convert 4 seats into a bed.

This clearly is not sustainable and will one day come to an end.
When that day comes, that' s the day the shit hits the fan.
And too bad for those who bought on that day and hesitate to throw back.
Also too bad for those who still have some profits but becoz they were in denial that its all over and they didnt throw back,
whatever was left of their paper profts were snatched back by the market and became a lump of shit. If one lump of shit
you dont throw away it will very quickly become one pile of shit. This is a case of WHEN, not IF.
We wait for the shit to hit the fan.

Thanks for the advice, Bro Wave.  Meanwhile,  I will just do my yoga.  😴

When you see stocks hampalang all turn, you buy some more to average down. But if you dont want to commit any more troops to this battle, hold and collect dividends. One fine day your dividends will cover your losses. yoga123      ( Date: 29-Apr-2026 11:39) Posted: Sigh.. my Mapletree PanAsia dropping non stop.  😡

Yeah, exactly. That's why Mr Market is also known as The Great Humiliator in some investment books. Anyway, in the long term, markets reward consistency & patience, not smarts.

wavehunter      ( Date: 29-Apr-2026 12:41) Posted: Exactly what I have been saying here - the stocks we want to buy but didnt buy, they blast off to the Moon. The stocks we actually did buy, they are macam like a frail old man lying on a bed in a nursing home. The stocks we had but sold, they also blasted to the Moon. The stocks we didnt sell, they sunk to the bottom of the Straits of Hormuz. Somehow....dunno how and dunno why....the market always have a way to skrew us up real good left right and centre.

When the broader market turns, this one can add more .
If you so wish. 

Caesar      ( Date: 29-Apr-2026 11:18) Posted: Yalor, why like that? I just got my Singtel Special Discounted Shares transferred from CPF to CDP. Now have to wait to sell at a good price. Cmon Singtel, please reverse back up to above $5, please ... wavehunter      ( Date: 29-Apr-2026 10:30) Posted: What the fish is happening at SingTel ??? Who is selling ? Why is he selling ? So is anyone happy with this selldown ? Yes. People who are looking to buy to hold for long term. And SingTel management. They get to buyback more shares with their 2 bn buyback budget. The price will bottom out when whoever that assshole seller has sold all that he wants to sell.

 

Step aside first.
Do nothing.
Becoz there is nothing you can do.
Wait for the whole market to be done with the selling first.
When you see stocks hampalang all turn, you buy some more to average down.
But if you dont want to commit any more troops to this battle, hold and collect dividends.
