holding for some time already.

is it really good choice to hold on to IOIcorp with the crude oil price dropping?

jojoe, i bought same price with u...
but SOLD liau.

i wish i can - tomorrow!

not a good choice if u were to ask me

IOICORP price has been going up from 5.xx to 7.xx

anything above 7 is not worth keeping (unless you dun mind to hold & wait)

Is there any important announcement apart frm OPEC meeting tonight causing asia to rally in afternoon session?
or tonight will just be technical rebound?

i also new player.... join since july.... but ioicorp is the 50% of my profit.... another counter also make profit is genting.
any counter with normal/good background will go up... just a matter of time.... anyone agree?????

agree~!!

ioicorp price surge quite high already as pana said..... but i thing good about ioi is fast go up... also fast go down...
however now i kena trap.... cannot move already.... have to hold it wait to 7.xx

People bet on high hope of rate cut next week by Fed. Some even predict another 0.5%. The market is 'rate cut' addicted currently, got rate cut hope, market shoot up, then economy or housing and financial problem still persist, market tumble again, then when Fed meeting near, hope another rate cut, cycle repeat itself since the surprise 0.5% cut in Sept.

The employment data on this Friday in US might hold the crucial clue how Fed will do next week.

OPEC meeting has nothing to do with the market directly except for the crude oil movement.

Another thing is US regulator works with lenders to work out to 'freeze' the subprime interest rate resetting issue to avoid foreclosure which somehow become alarming.
This is also a half tank issue, half empty or half full. Doesn't necessary 100% positive side.

Forget another thing, year end is coming, might see some window dressing activities as well especially those being battered hard one. Financial stock in US?

the last rate cut still not show any sign of improvement, so fast want to cut again? later if inflation increase hard to cool down.

Fed is depress now. Even they cut rate, interbank (LIBOR) rate is staying high (LIBOR is the place or interest rate for banks lend to each others).

By right, rate cut need at least 6 months to work into the system, but financial situation and housing problem worsen which make Fed a little depresse and opt to 'pre-emptied' the downside risk of the economy. There is huge debate whether Fed is doing the right thing or not. Most (99%) of market people welcome the rate cut, mean equities market shoot up, surely good for them , but for the larger picture, economist somehow raise some concern of too steep rate cut which may or may not solve the problem in the long run, as rate cut won't automatically make those subprime default become 'alive' back. Japan is the classic example of it.

cherroy, what does "window dressing" mean?

emm till today, my SINOPEC & CNOOC are negative premiums now

STOCK MARKET WINDOW DRESSING: THE ART OF LOOKING SMART!
   As investors, and we all are investors these days, it is important that we understand the idiosyncrasies of the Stock Market pricing data we use to help us in our decision making efforts. On Wall Street, investing can be a minefield for those who don't take the time to appreciate why securities prices are at the levels that appear on quarterly account statements. At least four times per year, security prices are more a function of institutional marketing practices than they are a reflection of the economic forces that we would like to think are their primary determining factors. Not even close... Around the end of every calendar quarter, we hear the financial media matter-of-factly report that Institutional Window Dressing Activities" are in full swing. But that is as far, and as deep, as it ever goes. What are they talking about, and just what does it mean to you as an investor?

   There are at least three forms of Window Dressing, none of which should make you particularly happy and all of which should make you question the integrity of organizations that either authorize, implement, or condone their use. The better-known variety involves the culling from portfolios of stocks with significant losses and replacing them with shares of companies whose shares have been the most popular during recent months. Not only does this practice make the managers look smarter on reports sent to major clients, it also makes Mutual Fund performance numbers appear significantly more attractive to prospective "fund switchers". On the sell side of the ledger, prices of the weakest performing stocks are pushed down even further. Obviously, all fund managements will take part in the ritual if they choose to survive. This form of window dressing is, by most definitions, neither investing nor speculating. But no one seems to care about the ethics, the legality, or the fact that this "Buy High, Sell Low" picture is being painted with your Mutual Fund palette.

   A more subtle form of Window Dressing takes place throughout the calendar quarter, but is "unwound" before the portfolio's Quarterly Reports reach the glossies. In this less prevalent (but even more fraudulent) variety, the managers invest in securities that are clearly out of sync with the fund's published investment policy during a period when their particular specialty has fallen from grace with the gurus. For example, adding commodity ETFs, or popular emerging country issues to a Large Cap Value Fund, etc. Profits are taken before the Quarter Ends so that the fund's holdings report remains uncompromised, but with enhanced quarterly results. A third form of Window Dressing is referred to as "survivorship", but it impacts Mutual Fund investors alone while the others undermine the information used by (and the market performance of) individual security investors. You may want to research it.


window dressing usually occur 2- 3wks before English New Year, but I have to go to Tokyo for personal matters, won't be able to witness the exciting moments.
