Trading Idea for Week of 9 Feb 09


A Look At the Big Picture - DJIA: The DJIA is recovering. The rising volume and white candlestick over the past few days will provide sufficient momentum for the DJIA to sustain this uptrend. This is further substantiated with the narrowing of +ve and -ve DIs, and down trending ADX to suggest the weakening of the downtrend. If the market reacts positively to Obama's stimulus package next week, DJIA is likely to break 50MA resistance at 8460. The 8000 support will provide the last line of defence. If news are ugly next week, a break below the 8000 support could see the Dow testing the Nov low.



STI: STI is directionless with investors and big players waiting at the sideline. Everybody is waiting for "big brother" Dow to show us the way. STI is likely to trade in a very narrow range, just like last week, if Dow is not able to convince the market that the worst is over. Traders will be trading at both the support and resistance levels to minimise losses. With a positive DJIA indication, STI is biased towards the upside. STI is currently like a loaded spring, everybody is standing at the sideline, waiting for good news to pounce at the market. The upmove will be more significant than the down move.


My Stock Pick from Indicators Watch:
LONG on F&N, People's Food, Raffles Education
SHORT on Parkway Life Reit,
My Watchlist:
SHORT on Wilmar, Noble Group, SPC - heavily overbought, look out for MacD trigger.
