IMO, the price drop for CDG is not justified. Its performance is still as steady as before despite the challenging condition in Australia. XD today for 3ct div, but price drop by 7ct. I just took the opportunity to buy some at 1.855

When over-all Market heading South, nothing can stop them. The same as when going North. Sentiment over-rules Logic happens again and again. If i stick to Logic alone, i will go "mad" in no time in the Market. But then it's at the height of Sentimental Market is where i should keep my Logic most. And guts too. For me, i think The Market still has a long way to go South. i am not buying yet.

Nice! Closed @ $1.885, -4ct. The stocks which I bought earlier didn't do as well... closed at same price or 1 bid lower. Nvm, flexible, can be for long term dividend yield or short term capital gains.

Because I have sold off my shares not too long ago at higher price, psychologically it is easier for me to buy back now at lower prices, despite the sour mood today. If not I think I will just stare at the screen and wait for it to go lower. I intend to keep it for long term capital appreciation + dividends, but, if tomorrow is another crazy day and the price surge upwards, I may do crazy thing again and sell to take profit

Defensive actions activated... will it be enough?? Some extracts,


Indonesian shares, rupiah tumble again on economy, U.S. Fed worries
Reuters Tue Aug 20, 2013 8:08am EDT

The benchmark share index had fallen 2.5 percent on Friday and then 5.6 percent on Monday, wiping out its 2013 gains.

At the end of Tuesday, the index was at 4,174.98, which is 20 percent below a peak touched on May 21.

One factor in the late day loss-paring was buying of shares by state-linked institutions, signaling how concerned the government is to prevent the market falls from turning into a full-blown crisis.

The central bank said it had been intervening in the rupiah and bond markets to stabilize prices and would continue to do so.

The heads of Indonesia's two main state pension funds separately told Reuters they were planning to buy shares.

"We see no fundamental issues for listed companies and stock prices are considered cheap now," Elvyn Masassya, the chief executive officer of PT Jaminan Sosial Tenaga Kerja (Jamsostek) said.

In comments to Reuters after the market had closed, State-owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan said he had instructed state firms to buy back their shares directly from the market. There are some 21 state firms listed on the Jakarta stock exchange, including some of Indonesia's biggest companies.

One foreign brokerage executive said that the financial services regulator had called a meeting on Tuesday afternoon to seek advice on "how to help and manage the current slide in the market".

Indonesia still has a lot of laws to curb export of raw materials, which will wide the deficit further. Wonder whether Indonesia government will delay those laws or not.

UOB is doing a favour to Indonesia economic. In other words, the confidence on Indonesia's economic still strong, with weaker currency, FDI will be boosted...IMO

Among the two Asia countries with currency devaluation issue, Indonesia is in a much better position than India... IMO

UOB to double loans to foreign firms investing in Indonesia

SINGAPORE — The Indonesian arm of United Overseas Bank (UOB) said yesterday that it plans to double corporate loans to foreign firms expanding into South-east Asia’s largest economy within the next three years, and introduce a dedicated foreign direct investment (FDI) advisory unit to help these companies.

FDI inflows into Indonesia, which are growing at a compound annual growth rate of 23.1 per cent, are among the highest in South-east Asia.
