When I first got to Singapore I wanted to do some shopping. But like a true Penangite, I shunned Orchard Rd for being too expensive (even though we are in the middle of summer sale madness) and headed straight to Chinatown for some real bargains. For those who haven’t been, Chinatown is like a much [...]

I have dropped more banks from my portfolio - namely AMMB and Commerz in this latest run up. This does not mean that I am sure it is a sucker’s rally (although there are many who think it is) but my portfolio is now completely flat in terms of performance since its inception. If the [...]
Trading: Who let the bulls out? (Time to put in some stops!)
Published by June 28th, 2006 in and Periodic Outlook. 0 CommentsI haven’t posted much this week on account of a slight eye operation I am having in Singapore, which is going well except that I am bummed about being unable to touch my eye at all for a few weeks otherwise all my doctor’s hard work and my hard money will be wasted so I [...]
Whilst catching up with my reading I came across this great website which contains lots of information about Malaysian history, culture and politics. It's Penang-centric but the "Letter from Pulau Tikus" contains views on national politics and is a real blast!
It's a shame we don't have more writers like this.

Trading: How to read tea leaves (or understand charts!)
Published by June 22nd, 2006 in and Investment Notes. 0 CommentsWhen I first started trading I learnt all about how to value shares and read charts. I had all sorts of books on macroeconomics, company valuations and technical analysis. My head was full of stuff like PE ratios, assets and liabilities, interest rates, trade balances, support and resistances, fibonacci projections, MACD, etc. I thought I was just SO clever! Daily analysis sections in newspapers started [...]
Too busy reading the tea leaves to provide any comment today, but glad to see KLSE up on volume. I suspect that this will prompt a few technical traders to jump in on stocks which have behaved similarly (i.e. up on volume, like Oilcorp, Sersol, et al.)
Good luck, be quick and keep those stops tight!
Since [...]
I’m getting a lot of press this week about how the mood on KLSE street is still ‘cautious’ - a sentiment which can’t have been helped by our CEO of Bursa Malaysia’s berating of everyone being so negative (which you can read here). However, I can still detect some stirrings in the market which are [...]
