Been away for some time, due to work commitments and school assignments due soon. I didn't really studied the charts, however, I still keep track of all the latest happenings around the world. With the japan minister stepping down, this one is very tricky, as the day when he announce this, nikkei shot up quite a fair bit. This probably can see how 'popular' he is, but nikkei is still quite unstable at this point, as the yen carry trade did fall to a low of 112! As of now, it is at 115.04-115.05, close to the 116 mark. September 11th has passed and sensitive days like this, expect the market to do well. This is a form of market psychology which I will talk about when I got the time.
Apart from that, bush's plan to withdraw some troops from iraq and ben's fed meeting this coming 18th will probably determine the direction of the market. During this period, I was learning some other technical indicators to identify certain movements and it was quite interesting, just that I have written it down on my notepad instead of typing it out.
What's more fun is my school has this stock competition where there's this real time stock exchange and we are given $100,000 for trading within a month. The only problem I face with this system is, the buying and selling isn't that real time after all, which I can understand.
As far as it goes now, my current portfolio is as follows:
DBS.SG DBS 1000 20.000 19.600 19600.00 -0.400 -2.000 14/09
FDR.SG Federal 50000 0.850 0.835 41750.00 -0.015 -1.765 14/09
MWH.SG Man Wah 10000 0.425 0.420 4200.00 -0.005 -1.176 14/09
With the following completed transactions:
11/09/2007 INDV/01/00012306 B SingTel 20000 3.700 - -
11/09/2007 INDV/02/00010692 S SingTel 20000 - 3.600 -2000.00
11/09/2007 INDV/01/00008545 B Celestial 50000 1.170 - -
13/09/2007 INDV/02/00023317 S Celestial 50000 - 1.260 4500.00
13/09/2007 INDV/01/00026522 B SingTel 10000 3.720 - -
13/09/2007 INDV/02/00023301 S SingTel 10000 - 3.680 -400.00
I was trying to short Singtel for the past few days, however it seems that the bullish STI was pushing Singtel to break its all time high record. As of today, it had actually hit up to a high of $3.78!
A good call on celestial, as once it breaks the $1.18 mark (61.8%), it's going to move upwards to its 100% mark which is $1.31 (which is the closing for the day).
The most important thing I learn about trading, never make it your job or life. It will kill you because you will never win greed. :)
