Singapore Results Announcement – The importance of it

16th April, 2017, 11:38 PM

Companies will be releasing their 1st Quarter results very soon. Companies like Keppel Corp will release their results on 20 april, Keppel Reit 19 april. And many more.

In our view it’s good to know when the results will be released so that we can plan and not be surprised the day after when the results are announced. We would usually be a little cautious and might not be wanting to trade the stock near the announcement date as there can be some volatility. We also don’t want to trade and hold and experience a gap down in case of a bad result.

Do email us if you want the list of the companies that we have that will be reporting their results very soon.

SembCorp Marine – Holding Up Well

9th April, 2017, 11:31 PM

SembCorp Marine – Holding Up WellSMM

Sembcorp Marine is now on our radar and is a stock that we’ll be watching for the coming week. It’s been holding up well for the past week at around the horizontal support of 1.83.  It is currently being resisted by the downtrend line and nearing the end of it. We’re keeping track of it to see if it can breakout of it.

We’re hoping for a breakout in the coming days but if the support of the 1.83 doesn’t hold then we might turn the opposite direction. Our entry point would be above the downtrend line.

It will be a shorter week this week with only 4 trading days  as friday is Good Friday. Have a blessed week ahead.

Keppel Corp – Down To Our Target, Rebound Next?

16th March, 2017, 12:57 AM

Keppel Corp –  Down To Our Target, Rebound Next?Keppel Corp

Keppel Corp has been down for the last two weeks since we were blogged it .It was at $7.22 when we mentioned that it was a little high and needed to pull back. It has now reached our lower uptrend line and looks supported.

We’re hoping for it to have some rebound from here and if it doesn’t it could signal more downside .

Our upside entry would be at current spot price of around 6.65 with a stop loss of 6.53-6.55. Our first upside target might be 6.85

Some factors to take note would be oil prices. Oil has been falling for the last week and if it continues to fall then Keppel Corp might be dragged down.  The next factor would be the interest rate decision but more importantly janet yellen’s tone and speech going forward. The number of times interest rate will hike also will play a role.

So if our support breaks we might be prepared to go the other way.

Property Cooling Measures Tweaked – What Shall We Do Next?

12th March, 2017, 12:00 AM

Property Cooling Measures Tweaked – What Shall We Do Next?

On Friday just before noon, Singapore government announced some targeted tweaks to the property market cooling measures.

These are some of the main ones:

A reduction of existing  Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) rates for residential properties

  • Changes will see the SSD holding period cut from four years to three years
  • SSD rates will also be lowered by four percentage points for each tier
  • The rates apply to all homes bought on or after March 11

Current framework for the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) will be relaxed. The 60% TDSR threshold will no longer apply to mortgage equity withdrawal loans with loan-tovalue ratios of 50% and below.

A new stamp Duty called the Additional Conveyance Duties (ACD) was introduced.

More of the tweaked cooling measures can be read here .

When the news was announced , you can just imagine what happened to our property counters in Singapore.

The FTSE ST Real Estate Holding and Development Index was up 2.5 per cent to 827.74 at 1.50pm.

CapitaLand jumped as much as 6.2 per cent to a high of S$3.79 each before closing at S$3.70, or a 3.6 per cent gain on the day.

City Developments shares soared to a high of S$10.59, or a 10.2 per cent rise, before ending with a 5.6 per cent gain at S$10.15.

Wing Tai was up 8.8 per cent to S$1.96 before closing at $1.935

It was a crazy afternoon instead and if you chased property counters immediately you would have some decent returns . We’ll just cover some counters over here and see how it plays out on monday.  News is out and now people are taking time to understand how much impact would this easing really be and could there be more easing coming along? Has the market overreacted on friday?  Did our property counters run before even the news came out?

We’ll take a look at a few charts and let you decide.

Capitaland 

cland

Capitaland resistance can be seen at 3.69-3.71 . If that breaks we could see potential upside to 3.90 . The swings could be wild as traders might be taking profit for those who bought earlier. Support or stop loss : 3.66 or 3.52

Wing Tai 

Wingtai

Wing tai surged a lot too and reached resistance too. Resistance at 1.935 then 1.96. If those break we might see $2 or even $2.06. The support would be 1.86 or the resistance turn support of 1.935. Always remember your stop loss.

Chip Eng Seng

CES

Chip Eng Seng closed above its previous day high of 0.745. If it manage to stay above that next potential target could be 0.765 then 0.78. The support is at 0.73.

Guocoland 

Guoc

Guocoland at least managed to break above it’s mid term downtrend line but couldn’t close above it horizontal resistance of 1.90. A close above that might see it move to 1.945 and if momentum continues could see it cover gap to 1.985. Support or stop loss would be 1.865.

Do remember your risk and comfort level in chasing or even shorting on monday. For those who prefer a little less volatility you could wait for the dust to settle before deciding on a direction .

Keppel Corp – Oil Down So Is Keppel Corp

9th March, 2017, 11:34 PM

Keppel Corp – Oil Down So Is Keppel CorpKC

Keppel Corp was a stock we blogged exactly a week back mentioning that it was high and needed a break. It hit our upper trend line and started to pull back. It was at around $7.22 when we spotted it and hit a day low of $6.77. A nice downside for a singapore blue chip. We hope our readers managed to benefit from our sharing once again.

So where to now as some of you have asked. The immediate support for Keppel Corp is around 6.76-6.78.It is also around the 20 days moving average.So it’s a double support for us.  If there is further weakness and breaking that support, we could see it hit our lower uptrend line of 6.65-6.70. Oil in the recent days have been taking a beating hence our oil related counters are not spared.

What could happen is that either Keppel Corp goes for a rebound and starts turning down and that’s where we would consider another short entry. Or if it breaks 6.76 then we might consider entry. Remember we’re using Poems CFD to hold our shorts and not naked short

Keppel Corp – Getting A Little High

2nd March, 2017, 10:18 PM

Keppel Corp – Getting A Little HighKC

Keppel Corp is a stock that we mentioned in our market outlook article back in January when it was around $6.20. It’s been a month plus and keppel Corp stands at $7.22 today. We feel that it’s reaching resistance for now and a pull back would be healthy.

We have drawn the uptrend channel line which acts as a resistance. A short entry could be around 7.23-7.25 area with  a tight stop loss around 7.28-7.30.

What might happen here could be that it might start pulling back from here or if market is still so bullish it could break out from this uptrend line we drew. We’re hoping for some pullback before we can make a re-entry.

Sembcorp Marine – Our warrior is up 20% smm

Sembcorp Marine had a wonderful run today after releasing its results. It has swing to a profit in Q4 which probably helped in lifting the price up. A future squeeze on short sellers also helped the price moved up sharply. In fact sembcorp marine is up 20% since our first post in just two weeks. Solid gains and we hope our readers managed to learn something through this.

If you have been following us for a while, Sembcorp Marine broke through our uptrend line which could be another possible entry. We have drawn a few possible resistance in the near term so don’t forget to shift up your trailing stop now.

Sembcorp Marine – Fought up to our target and more !

Sembcorp Marine – Fought up to our target and more ! Sembcorp marin

Sembcorp Marine related to the oil & gas sector saw a nice ride up this week. We posted it just a week back when we saw some strength as it still being supported by the 50 days moving average and the uptrend lines.

So what’s next for Sembcorp Marine since it has hit our target of 1.57? From the chart although it has broke through the resistance of 1.57 it didn’t manage to stay above it. We’ll need to see if it can stay above 1.57 if it does then we might see 1.60 .Also, don’t forget to shift your trailing stop loss up.  Slow and steady for sembcorp marine.

We hope our readers manage to learn and benefit from our sharing and had a great trading week. It’s time to take a break and have a restful weekend now. Recharge and be ready for next week.

yanlord

Recently many singapore property stocks have been running up and rumors have been that the recent cooling measures might be tweaked or eased. We won’t speculate on that but would look at the chart and decide on our next course of action.

Yanlord hasn’t moved much and is currently being resisted by the downtrend line. We’ll be watching to see if that downtrend can be broken and the horizontal resistance of 1.41 to be broken too. Keep a look out.
