Will September Markets Be Bullish?

Below is summary of key points extracted from an interesting US newspaper column published on September 4, 2009, written by a market timing expert:

  1. The market has done quite a job of ignoring its history so far this year.
  2. January and February, usually positive winter months, it experienced a sizable loss of 25% .
  3. In historically favourable period, not launching into a sizable rally until March.
  4. Defying its historical “Sell in May and go away” history, the rally continued to roll right through May.
  5. It did decline for four straight weeks beginning in June, following its history of “If May doesn’t get you, June will”.
  6. The rally then resumed in July, also not unusual, as there is usually a minor summer rally.
  7. But the summer rally continued through August, the first month of the market’s historically worst three-month period of August, September, and October.
  8. That has a lot of people claiming that since the historical patterns have been off so much so far this year, they will therefore be off for the rest of the year. Don't be too sure of that.
  9. The historical pattern for the rest of the year is that September tends to be a down month, leading into a correction low in the October/November time-frame, which is then followed by a significant rally from that low to the end of the year.
  10. There are reasons to believe the market is setting up to follow that pattern. We have an unusual overbought condition of the major indexes above their 20-week moving averages that is highly likely to bring a decline back down at least to the moving average, and most often overshooting on the downside.
Hmmm... so what is his forecast for next week?

  • The historical pattern for employment report released yesterday is a triple-digit kneejerk reaction by the Dow in one direction or the other. Last night, market followed with its typical triple-digit reaction to the report, Dow up 101 points by afternoon.
  • The other side of that pattern is that whatever the direction of the market’s initial reaction to the jobs report, it is usually reversed within a day or two, and the market goes back to focusing on whatever were its driving forces before the jobs report.
  • Next week is also the week before this month’s options expirations week, and the week before tends to be negative.
Hmmm... we shall see.

CPF@55 Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer!

CPF@55  Policy Designed to Make the Rich Richer! Do you know that  CPF@55  policy can help you get richer with a bigger SA (Special Account Balance) after 55? Yes, provided your are rich with a big OA (Ordinary Account Balance) and SA which exceeds the FRS (Full Retirement Sum).  Assuming you have $240k (SA), $160k (OA) and FRS is $200k, this is how you can become richer after 55: 1.  2 weeks before your 55th birthday, buy a stable Unit Trust Bond Fund with $200k SA under CPFIS/SA investment scheme (minimum $40k SA must be maintained) 2.  On your 55th birthday, CPFB will transfer $40k (SA) and $160k (OA) to your RA (Retirement Account) to form $200k FRS. 3.  Next day, sell your CPFIS/SA investment of $200k, this will be returned to your SA. 4.  You now have $200k (SA) and $0 (OA) after RA is created! What happens on your 55th birthday if you did not do the hack (ie. step 1&3) above?  CPFB will transfer $200k (SA) to RA.  So after 55, you will have $40k (SA) a

Fengshui Forecast was Spot On Again!

Fengshui Forecast for August 2008 Stock Market was spot on again! STI had a major correction of more than 10%, dropping from 2906 on August 1 to 2574 on September 5. Too bad, I was not ready to short sell this bear market. But I felt very happy that I've exited the market before this crash. Thanks for the Fengshui Forecast! I prefer to simply wait on the sidelines, with my cash holdings earning interest from the bank or money market funds. This is a bear market! Capital Preservation is Key! Cash is King! Survival first, make money afterwards! Patience will be rewarded when the Time is Right! "Mr Market has never failed to recover from every setback. But not so for individual stocks!”

Stock Trader's Almanac 2009

After I started working, I was always at MPH or Times Bookshops on weekends, reading books to upgrade myself. With internet, I no longer do that except when I cannot find the information I want. Recently, I started visiting the bookshops again. I went to Kinokuniya this time as it has a wider range of books and uncontrolled (ie not shrink wrapped). I found the Stock Trader's Almanac 2008 and read it. I was disappointed as I thought I can find things mentioned in Amfraser's STI Forecast or useful information for the rest of 2008. A very expensive book costing S$70+, but I read it free! Ha ha, times are bad, many people do that at the bookshops! When the Stock Trader's Almanac 2009 is out, you can see me at Kinokuniya again!
