1) Bear is really coming, because outspoken bears are now tired

=:p

Bears dun get tired, they get bored. Even as a dividend investor myself, i find it rather boring. Can't imagine how bored it must be for those who are totally out of the market. No need to do any analysis and research, just sit around twiddling their thumbs.
Not my style. I need to get a piece of this economic pie. When I squeezed with shoppers in crowded Funan and Vivocity, i want to know some of that sweet rental is flowing into my pockets. :p

Singapore exports shocked big time on the downside, yet markets are just ignoring it. I guess the sell button has been removed from trading scree ns and only buy button works. So bad news is good news and good news is even more good news. I guess time to close this thread, the bear is dead. Just buy buy buy.

Plot twist: market timers are the dumb ones.
People who buy regularly regardless of the headlines are not dumb, they are....investors.

There're 2 more likely scenarios that will happen:
1. You will eat your words and enter anyway eventhough S&P is well above 2k or 2.5k.
2. You'll find another story and paint it as the potential cause of market -20/-30%.

:D

My prediction...I am right again am I?

I am going to make a bold call and actually feel the stock market will be down in the first 2 weeks of August unless the Fed rate cut is 50 basis points. :s13:

Currently the expected first Fed rate cut of 25 basis points is already priced. Furthur upside is limited from now till FOMC on 31/07/2019.

STI has been flat for last 5 years of more.

PE ratio is already on the low side.

The slowdown has been priced in. Not much downside.

But not much upside too.

5-6% pa returns is a reasonable expectation. 3-4% pa comes from dividends.

Not really .. the market internals have been weak and also a lot of rotation with stocks like Capitaland and Singtel seeing a pullback now. Offcouse, headline nos don't show much of a change.

Btw, if you think singapore govt bond yields are also going to come off over the next few months then investing in A35 should be good with its higher duration portfolio. It has already done reasonably well over the last few months.

Silver up again today now trying to break above the 16.20 resistance level. I think it'll pullback a bit before breaking this resistance. Already overbought levels on the daily charts.

Manipulated by Jay Pee Mole gan

John Edmonds, a 36-year-old Brooklyn resident, pleaded guilty in October to fraudulently manipulating the precious metals markets from 2009 to 2015.

Nearly four years ago, a New York lawyer sued J. P. Morgan on behalf of three traders, accusing the bank of manipulating the silver futures market from 2010 through 2011, costing his clients $30 million in losses.

Prosecutors said Edmonds learned the deceptive strategy "from more senior traders" at the bank, and that he "personally deployed this strategy hundreds of times with the knowledge and consent of his immediate supervisors." His guilty plea related specifically to trading in silver futures contracts, as well as in gold, platinum and palladium futures.

A pullback is healthy if it occurs.

I think most of the yield fall is already done. Yields could fall another 50bps, which means this bond could gain 3.5% with its duration of 7 years.

This is what Allan Greenspan called irrational exuberance or euphoria. However, this may still go on for a while and then the great stock market crash will finally come (just a matter of time)

Tech stocks price has not even priced in effect of tech war and bans on Huawei and other China tech companies yet!

Ervino = sugarbunny,

You have sold everything in Nov 2018. :s13:

Ouch. The bull run started after you were out.

Don't be delusional about low i/r. Just accept what the market is offering you.

US inflation is still manageable. Economy is damn strong.

This morning I am :eek: when I see my US popped by 1+%.
