Japan Nikkei about to outpace DOW near 15000

Dear Friends,

One of the best performing Asia index, Nikkei 255 is about to burst forward towards 15000 and perhaps outpace the DOW now at 15118. Such a strong performing Asia index. Ever since president Abe steps on board, a surge of confidence has re-entered Japan stocks, pushing it higher and higher. With the help of government stimulus and of course, printing money (borrowing the books of Uncle Ben), Nikkei has risen an AMAZING 72% in 6 months!!!

This unbelievable feat is nothing short of a miracle given the fact that a lot of people has given up looking at the nikkei as the country's economy has been in the doldrums for 20 odd years, since year 1990.

Will this be the year of Japanese economy comeback? We all know that Japan is a "never say die" nation. It survived WW2 economic collapse with a comeback in 20 years. The nation is full of dedicated talents who are patriotic and disciplined. Let us see if Japan really make a comeback in a few years time.

In the meantime, let us enjoy the run-up of Nikkei which has a good chance of going past 15000!

A daily view on S&P500 charts

Yesterday when S&P500 futures breakout through 1612, it continue its upward movement to reach 1620. Today it seems like S&P500 would likely continue its bullish momentum if it stays above 1619, one of the support for today. if it breaks below, 1615 remains the next support.  
With China good results, we anticipate S&P500 to be likely above 1619.

A view on S&P500 charts today

A view on S&P500 today: 
Today might face some resistances at 1611.25 to 1612.25 region (Grey and Red lines are today's resistances or support). If Europe opening isn't good in afternoon, we feel S&P500 have a chance to be down today.

Having said that, if it breaks out of 1612.25 esp during opening hours of europe and US, S&P500 have a strong chance of upside.

Region to watch is 1611.25-1612.25

Malaysia BN wins, but is there a chance in KLCI?

Dear Friends,

One month ago on 11 April, we wrote an article in a malaysian newspaper about the strategy before and after election.

A glimpse of the draft that we send to busy weekly in mandarin.
http://www.danielloh.com/2013/04/klci.html

We did mention that before the election, KLCI should be above 1700. We predicted that when BN wins, the index would definitely gaps up at the open. But do not go in to catch the euphoria. It might be a bit late. Wait for the pullback. Study all the stocks that have performed well for its earnings this season, and put it in the trading diary. These are the stocks to watch out for.

Indeed today KLCI gaps up at the open amid the good election results for the BN, reach a high of 1826 within fist 5 mins, but drops to 1750 now.



So what is the strategy now? My guess is this index needs a big big rest now. I initially has hope of an unfavorable result so that I can buy upon the gap down. It has not occurred, and now, we probably have got to be patient.

Election is over, now everything is back to normal. KLCI will follow US market more closely now.  Let us see if US market consolidate. If so, KLCI will follow suit.

A cruel reminder not to hold a stock through Earnings - Genting

Dear Friends,

Today we face a cruel reminder of not to hold a stock through earnings. In the past, I have advised short term traders to liquidate all positions before earnings. This is especially so for Genting today. After powering forward for the last few days from $1.40 to $1.64 highest yesterday, today it gaps down to close at $1.485 after a poor poor earnings results.

http://www.shareinvestor.com/news/news.html?source=dj&nid=20130502DN004653

This is the power of earnings. It has the ability of causing a stock to lose 10% of its value in a single day. After 10 years of trading in the US market, I have a phobia of holding a stock through earnings as it seems too unpredictable whether a stock will gap up or down. It is like holding a time bomb to me.

I would encourage all short term investors to adopt the habit of liquidating your positions going into earnings. However, if you are a long term investor, a 10% drop is still ok, as it may still come back and may even be a good opportunity to add on position if you think it is worth it. It is important to know your trading style.

DBS powers STI to 3400! But did most stocks gain?

Dear Friends,

It seems today is a marvelous day for STI! Going up 31 points when Dow drop 100 yesterday. Thank you DBS for the 70 cents move. Today DBS issued an overwhelming earnings results.

As quoted in shareinvestor.com,
DBS Group Holdings' net profit for first-quarter 2013 reached a record SGD 950 million, rising 25% from the previous quarter and 2% from a year ago. Total income rose 18% from the previous quarter to a new quarterly high of SGD 2.32 billion from loan and deposit volume growth as well as a broad-based increase in non-interest income. Return on equity rose to 12.0% compared to 11.2% for full-year 2012...

However it seems that not all stocks are gaining when looking at the Top 40 volume.


Do remember that Earnings season is the point in time where we take a look at our portfolio again. Put all the good earnings stocks down in your trading diary. These will be the stocks that are going to outrun and outclass the poor earnings stocks this season.

Do remember that banking stocks have done relatively well in last quarter results. That is the reason they continue its run these past 2 months. OCBC results have not been fantastic. Let us take a look at UOB next.

DOW drop 100 points amid the poorer ISM and ADP employment results

Dear Friends,

As the poor economical seasonal effect kicking in, we may have pressure in the US market ahead. In April, the economical results are worse than expectations. It seems to likely continue with the ADP employment figure being poorer. Dow is now down 110 points at 1.47am.



With the company results slowly dwindling down, will Wallstreet begin to finally focus on the economical results and the employment figures? We shall see if this really is the case after Friday's Non farm payroll.

But having said that, this time round, the employment figures may not be as bad as April. Just that we don't expect it to be better either. It may still fall below expectations.
