T,
I have a simple suggestion:
Just buy those stocks that goes up.
If they don't go up, resist the temptation to buy.

ok?

"If the stocks don't go up(now or future?), don't buy."

Unquote:-
i have been told many times already (by reading i mean).
And i have been doing just that - the buying for short term and long-term speculations.

i found personally "speculate" for longer term tends to be more lucrative

Whatever SGX do, or need to do to tick boxes, human ingenious will tramp. All the restructuring of the public transport service don't happen overnight. It involves months of planning and groups of people and I don't think they lock everyone up in a room until media release or do they?

GG,
slight difference.
buy high sell higher can be very risky due to the greater fool theorem.

however, if one can resist the urge and only buy those shares that goes up

The intentions might be the same but the result will be very different.

Include SingPost and others in any trading probe

NEWS that there may be closer scrutiny of recent trading in the shares of SMRT and ComfortDelgro would be welcomed by many in the market who have been outraged at the way these counters moved before the government's radical reforms of the transport sector were unveiled last week, reforms which are widely seen as being positive for both companies.
Both counters started moving weeks ago - in SMRT's case, by as much as 20 per cent on April 24 when it was queried by Singapore Exchange (SGX) - and remained firm until last week's announcement.
In the interim, there was widespread speculation of an impending transport sector revamp which, as it turned out, proved accurate. To add to claims of a leak, both stocks jumped again on May 20, the day before the news was issued.
If some parties benefited from advance knowledge of the announcement, as is suggested by the sudden price gains, and if the authorities were to scrutinise the trades before and after May 21, then it is worth pointing out that there are also several other recent developments which merit closer attention, starting with the most obvious - yesterday's news that Chinese Internet firm Alibaba is buying into SingPost.

The wild side of penny stocks

BYANITA GABRIEL

THE lights seem to have switched back on at the penny stock arcade on the local bourse.
Interest in the shares of the battered trio - Asiasons Capital, Blumont Group and LionGold Corp - and other penny stock cohorts which crashed to lows from their heady highs reached before last October's crash is being rekindled.
But hefty financial losses, profit warnings, buyouts hanging on a limb and boards rattled by a raft of resignations are hardly investor magnets.
Toss in the ongoing investigation by the Commercial Affairs Department into these companies' subsidiaries and their key executives - except for Asiasons - for possible breaches of securities laws in the trading of the trio's shares and the recent spike in these counters becomes even harder to fathom.

Exactly the reason why I picked ASIASONS instead of the other two brothers.

But, situation might change as AZxxx had just step down.
