x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	thx Bro Wave. As  Market is always forward looking and reacting to news flow, my feel is the current resilience will remain for sometime. So just have to trade accordingly to what we see and react as has to be mindful of the ongoing Russia - Ukarine war which Ukarine has now brought the war to Russia soil. Putin may not be sleeping soundly now knowing Ukarine drones are targetting him. wavehunter      ( Date: 03-Jun-2023 18:09) Posted: Bro koala, What I see is a resilient market which macam like die die dun wan to go down to let us buy cheap but at the same time this market doesnt look like it wants to do an UP UP & AWAY either. .

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	The VIX chart is of no help to us for now. That' s why I didnt mention it for a long time ler. When volatility is high and VIX is at the blue box region, she is helpful. She tells us once the market is there, if brave, can start nibbling bit by bit ler. But when she is at the bottom of the chart, it does not mean it is a good time to sell your holdings or to SHORT the market. Based on our own observation of the price action, we know the market is resilient and die die dun wan to die. Lidat can SHORT the market mare? Lidat should dump our holdings mare ? Skarly you dump, others who are waiting to buy will say THANK YOU and happily pick up what you throw. So when VIX is toppish, we can use her to guide us when to start nibbling. But when VIX is bottomish, it means nothing to me. She is no help at all. VIX measures the level of FEAR in the market quite well. But VIX, to me, is not a good measure of the level of EUPHORIA in the market at all.  VIX and stock indices are inversely co-related. When the VIX is bottomish, the stock market is supposed to have reached maximum optimism level and is hence toppish. But is the market toppish ? Not in my view. The market is neither toppish nor bottomish. The market has been trading within a narrow range doing the back and forth back and forth thingy not dropping but not rising either. The VIX chart is bottomish. But to me, the market is not toppish. That' s why VIX is of no use to me. But that' s me.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Today is the 1st trading of the month of June. Miss SIM has gone home. And without first doing her job. < sob sob>   So what next ? What is the next market-moving news ? 13 June is CPI data for May 2023. The market wants to see inflation retreating further. So that higher probability of Fed taking a pause. Coz 13 to 14 June is also the next FOMC Meeting.  If pause, will the market CHEONG ? Or priced in already ? This one, consensus is Gor Chup Gor Chup. Corporate earnings need to improve so that PEs can be revised upwards. And the threat of recession is still there.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Bro zillion, Market is due for a technical rebound mare ? I wasnt expecting any and I didnt see any. From my own observation, market has been doing the back and forth and back and forth thingy but going nowhere and with a bias to the downside. We saw Ascendas and MIT doing lower lows. No higher highs. And I am merely waiting for short term players to run out of time or patience and for weak holders to run out of balls. Then selling will pick up momentum which may scare other weak holders to also bail out. I hope so. Coz if they dont sell, prices cannot drop to a level attractive enough to cause Dividend Yield to rise significantly which will trigger strong buying from the more steady and savvy longer term players. Just wait for it to come. Miss SIM did not bring a much needed wave of selling. Maybe Miss June will.  zillion      ( Date: 31-May-2023 15:47) Posted: Bro Wave, today yet another round of funds unloading. Saw last week when Genting sell day sama sama now. More of technical redown not technical rebound. Some more today last day of the month means anyone go in will hv book losses.

China and Japan have floating anti-gravitational trains ??? I will go online to snoop around. Another area of technology I would like to see is in the area of medical science. Imagine if medical scientists can use cells or tissues from your own body to grow a new heart or kidney or stomach or any other organs including to grow a new arm, hand, fingers, legs and toes as well, how such a technology can save and transform millions of lives around the world.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Yeah Bro,  dreams are sometimes the prequel to something new and revolutionary if it becomes a reality. C' est la vie !  👍 wavehunter      ( Date: 26-May-2023 12:29) Posted: Yo.... Bro Yoga. Just some trivial talk lah. Market Ah Borling mah. Ascendas havent fall to my BOYZONE yet ..... ........and MIT needs to find its base after XD. So meantime talk kok lor.  Another daydreaming future technology I spoke of with my lovely one are teleportation and minaturization. Teleportation..... if this ever becomes possible, imagine a whole family of folks can just walk into a box with their luggage bags at a Teleportation Hub and ZAAAAP !!! They all arrive in Rome !!! Or Paris. Or London. Or whatever. Imagine how that will change the way we travel. Ofcoz it will result in massive loss of jobs too. Airline pilots and cabin crew will become obsolete. Lesser planes needed also mean less ground crew and maintenance crew at airports. Companies like SATS, Boeing, SIA ENGINEERING will also chiak lard. And so on and so forth. But it will free up space. Airports can be smaller.  As for Minaturization, imagine the size of one mammoth container ship with tens of thousands of fully loaded containers can be reduced to the size of a bus. Or a car. And then transported by teleportation to the destination port. And then brought back to normal size again to have the cargo unloaded. Wow !!! Imagine the many applications of this technology. How it will transform our lives. How it can make services a lot cheaper. But again, hundreds of millions of jobs around the world will be lost. People will need to re-skill and re-train to take on new jobs. Coz some old jobs will be lost forever.  I know it sounds far-fetched at this stage. Yes, it is. For someone living in the year 2023, this is wishful thinking and pure fantasy. But again, who knows? 100 years from now, or 200, or 300 years from now if it becomes a reality, I will be that teenager or ship captain or woman in my other posting. Anyway, it is good to dream also. At times. I find it therapeutic. You should try it too. Besides, if man had not dare to dream of doing what at their time seemed to be impossible, would we have airplanes today ? And mobile phones. And wifi etc ? We wont. So it is good to dream.
