Investing in Stocks

The best thing about buying the right stocks is that you are actually owning good companies with talented individuals running them.

Let's look at these 3/20 top stock gainers today. Are there any similarities?

STI is up today, but is it sustainable?

From what i can see in the market today, there are a lot of liquidity flowing from overseas. If i trade currencies and know that certain currency strengthen against Singapore's, my guess will be that liquidity is most probably from that country.

From what i can see today, some stocks were up significantly. Yeo Hup Seng was from $2 previously to $6 today.

Whoever bought stocks today, don't think that just because your stock went up today, means you are right about it. The buying today seems random. Someone or somewhere's pumping money into Singapore. But no one knows from where, but when they pump it in, you are in no control as to when they will withdraw their earnings which might cause your loss.

Last week's bargains on SGX

Singtel had been going on a pretty good price of $3.15 since Temasek decided to dispose a small percentage of it.

Last week i've noticed Singtel was bought twice by directors. I think with the current price now, it is a good buy since they managed to bid for the third time, the Barclays Premier League (BPL).

The next stock i wanna share with everyone is Pan United

With the fast expansion of Singapore's infrastructure, a basic building material is now the very essential material for every construction. This company is worth a look!

However, it is expensive at the current price so will have to wait till it drop till $2 or below $2.

Another indicator of bear

Genting is disposing some of its securities.

Bearish Indicators

Channelnewsasia.com (2012) states "Temasek's sale of SingTel shares came a day after it was reported to be sounding out potential buyers for its 18-per cent stake in British bank Standard Chartered worth 6 billion pounds (US$9.7 billion)."

Temasek is now selling its assets for cash at this period, when interest rates may be going up. Growth rates will slow due to rising inflation and the stock market may burst the bubble any time from now. I am investing with care and hopefully when the stock market crash, I'll have some spare cash to buy cheap assets.
