i am more use to djia but think same - just indices... one heavyweights, one broader market. not detached from each other.



tonite, aapl big winner.

big loser - oil/energy, as expected. think more pain coming...

If a ctr has 10% yield, after a 30% tax, still get to earn 7%, better than local Msian FD, right ? And coupld with the appreciation of the USD against the RM, mor advantage there.

Ths can be an instrumnt under : buy foreign assets, and not hold foreign cash.

Too much 'noise' from our auntie. Jus prepare for the hike. Too many guessing games,... creating too much headache and anxiety. The hike wil come, sooner or later. After the actual event, if the USD strengthens further, that's expectd. If it's 'the buy on rumour, sell on event' thing takes place, I'll stil hold-on to my USD-based assets. The USD will turn around again - because of,... FUNDAMENTALS. No problem for me - I'm a long-term holder. I'll just focus on accumulatng more bullets to make (accumulate) more acquisitions.

aapl surprisingly fiery, looks like wanting to set new high.

and crude struggles to stay above 50...

ibm beats on profit, shorts on revenue. margin improves. cloud revenue up 70%....

thanks...

i hv no exp with us reits, know nothing!
will stick to sg reits/div stocks which hv been excellent so far.

can never get it all.
i'm quite happy to have added at 122.

still holding xle? i dumped all oil/energy last week.
took losses but compensated partly by earnings from a series of crude shorts.
think crude will go lower still.

me too....regret bought too little....

Fortunaltely, I bought the yielding energy ctr. I'll ride it out while continuing to collect my div. No need to cutloss and dump because don't need the money now. MIght evn buy more.

dem...!

august futures expiry today, so u know...

GPRO surged more than 6% from the its 11am low. Anyone who did that is definitely lucky.

me counting my coins in my piggy bank and soon collecting few fruits ... 121? woo .... really 121? wow!

gpro and its supplier, amba...
i have traded them a few times.
very volatile, quite common to see 5-8% range for day trades.
too chicken to keep long term.

it seems to be repeating what was seen in last qtr.
rammed up before earnings report, then dive upon the data.
recover a bit the day after, then drift lower, lower...
repeat after 3 months, next qtr.
will hv to consider selling when it returns to 130ish...

they said profit good but forecast number not nice woh.....well, forecast number they worried....

Looks like a gloomy opening today.
