Sell in May & Go Away!

The words of market wisdom, "Sell in May and go away", proved to be spot on again!

Also known as the "Halloween Indicator", stock market returns are usually higher in the November-April period than those in the May-October period.

One study noted that this pattern worked after both the Crash of 1929 and 1987.

People dun understand why this pattern occurred, though they have some explanations which do not appear to explain this puzzle convincingly.

Hmm.. think I can solve this puzzle now!

It's got to do with Fengshui & Stock Market!

So should we buy in November 2008, then sell in May 2009 and go away?

Should we observe this market wisdom for the next 7 or more Bear Years?

Hmm.. Bear "Kor Kor" (chinese meaning brother), please take a break and have a kit kat!

NTUC Fairprice Shares pays 5% dividend!

Yesterday I received the NTUC Fairprice Co-operative's dividend and rebate statement for financial year ended March 31, 2008. I was surprised to receive so much money for this investment! I was holding more shares than I thought. I received 5% dividend and 4% in rebate, which had already been credited to my bank account on September 5, 2008. Too bad, that's the maximum each member can hold. Another very good Capital Protected Dividend Stock to own! Ntuc Income Share Pays 9% Dividend for 2009, credited June 3 2010

Dr Doom Warns More Doom Ahead!

The worst is still ahead of us, warns Dr Doom, Nouriel Roubini. He was interviewed by Boomberg and wrote an article in Foreign Policy in early January 2009. Summary of Key points here: 1. While the odds of a systemic financial meltdown have been reduced by the actions of the Group of Seven and other economies, severe vulnerabilities remain. 2. The credit crunch will persist and spread beyond mortgages. Deleveraging will continue, as thousands of hedge funds - many of which will go bust - and other leveraged players are forced to sell assets into illiquid and distressed markets, thus causing price declines and driving more insolvent financial institutions out of business. Credit losses will mount as the recession deepens. And a few emerging-market economies will certainly enter a full-blown financial crisis. 3. So 2009 will be a painful year of global recession and further financial stresses, losses and bankruptcies. 4. Certainly, the United States will experience its worst recession in
