2008 KLCI TARGET TO TOP 1,650!


2008 target @1,650 with baseline target @1,520. Based on our model, we have ascribed 1,650 points as our target for 2008, translating to a market price earnings ratio (PER) of 17x. From a bottom-up approach, our target is set at 1,520 or at mar ket PER of 15.6x, which also forms our baseline target for 2008. We believe our target is tangible given that the TMT (Tenaga Nasional Bhd, Malayan Banking Bhd and Telekom Malaysia Bhd), which have grossly underperformed the CI in 2007, is likely to support the uptrend of the market.


These counters collectively account for about 16% of the CI's total market cap and are at present bogged down by their respective niggling doubts, but should these uncertainties be alleviated, we reck on buying interests should flow back into these stocks. See table for a scenario whereby 1,650 points may be achieved.

TA: Relative Strength Index (RSI)

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is an extremely useful and popular momentum oscillator. The RSI compares the magnitude of a stock's recent gains to the magnitude of its recent losses and turns that information into a number that ranges from 0 to 100.

Calculation












Overbought/Oversold
Wilder recommended using 70 and 30 and overbought and oversold levels respectively. Generally, if the RSI rises above 30 it is considered bullish for the underlying stock. Conversely, if the RSI falls below 70, it is a bearish signal. Some traders identify the long-term trend and then use extreme readings for entry points. If the long-term trend is bullish, then oversold readings could mark potential entry points.

Divergence
Buy and sell signals can also be generated by looking for positive and negative divergence between the RSI and the underlying stock. For example, consider a falling stock whose RSI rises from a low point of (for example) 15 back up to say, 55. Because of how the RSI is constructed, the underlying stock will often reverse its direction soon after such a divergence. As in that example, divergences that occur after an overbought or oversold reading usually provide more reliable signals.

Centerline Crossover
The centerline for RSI is 50. Readings above and below can give the indicator a bullish or bearish tilt. On the whole, a reading above 50 indicates that average gains are higher than average losses and a reading below 50 indicates that losses are winning the battle. Some traders look for a move above 50 to confirm bullish signals or a move below 50 to confirm bearish signals.


Example:


The DJI example shows a number of extreme readings as well as a negative divergence. In Mar-2007, RSI reached oversold for a brief moment to mark the low around 25. The next extreme reading (overbought) occurred after April and continue sustain above level 70 until June. Then it was moving sideway after a large advance that peaked in July-2007. The next positive divergence reading occurred in August. for another brief moment and marked the low around 35. In early of September, RSI moved back above 50 and into overbought territory in October. A negative divergence formed in first week of October and marked the high in the upper fifties. Then it moved down to level 30.

Bursa may tie up with CME

The world's largest and most diverse financial exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) may buy a 10% stake in Bursa Malaysia. Both exchanges are in talks to form a tie up that will involve the trading of CPO derivatives on CME.

The deal is currently being thrashed out by the relevant parties and is likely to be announced close to Christmas. The price tag for the sale, says a source, is within the RM20 per share range. (The counter closed Friday at RM14.20).

Government agencies or institutions own about 38% interest in Bursa Malaysia. The Minister of Finance Inc and the Employees Provident Fund has own 19% and 3% respectively in the local exchange. Noteworthy and as an analyst points out, Bursa Malaysia has a high foreign shareholding of 40%.

Earlier, CME had a 50-50 joint venture with Singapore Exchange (SGX) to list commodity futures on a Singapore-based platform called Jade. However, in the middle of November this year, the CME group abandoned the project, selling its stake in the venture to the core owner SGX. The partnership has been terminated, which opened the door for talks between CME and Bursa Malaysia.


Other exchange like Dubai International Financial Exchange (DIFX), Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) (already tie up with Bursa to trade CPO in Dalian), and Euronext are keen to cooperate with Bursa.

World Bank Upgrade East Asia Growth Despite U.S. Slow Down


East Asian economies are likely to remain robust in 2008 despite growing concerns about the U.S. sub-prime crisis and increasing global oil prices, says the World Bank’s latest East Asia & Pacific Update.

The Update – a six-monthly report on the region’s economic and social health – finds that growth in emerging East Asia1 is expected to exceed 8 percent in 2007 for a second year in a row and to moderate only slightly in 2008. Although East Asian exports to the US have already slowed, more buoyant investment and consumption in China and other countries have allowed growth to remain strong and even pick up this year.

China is expected to grow by 11.3 percent in 2007 and that is expected to slow only modestly to 10.8 percent in 2008. The stronger growth dynamic extends to middle-income economies in South East Asia and continues to run at solid 7 percent to 10 percent rates in low-income economies of the region including Cambodia, Lao PDR, Mongolia and Vietnam. Growth is also running at above historical trends in some of the small Pacific Island economies due to high commodity prices although social tensions and political instability continue to undermine performance in some of these countries.

Brazil found 8 Billion Barrels Oil

The government-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras, said the new "ultra-deep" Tupi field could hold as much as 8 billion barrels of recoverable light crude, sending Petrobras shares soaring and prompting predictions that Brazil could join the world's "top 10" oil producers.

Petrobras President Sergio Gabrielli said Thursday the oil from ultradeep areas, including the Tupi field, would give Brazil the world's eighth-largest oil and gas reserves.

Petrobras says the Tupi field, off Brazil's southeastern Atlantic coast, has between 5 billion and 8 billion barrels -- equivalent to 40 percent of all the oil ever discovered in Brazil.

Brazil's total oil reserves currently rank 17th in the world, with 14.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent, Gabrielli said.


Thursday's news of the discovery rocked a country that became a net oil exporter only last year but must still import light crude oil for the refined products it needs. Brazil produces -- and exports -- mostly heavy crude oil, which has to be mixed with the light oil in refineries.


Petrobras' American depository shares jumped $24.03 to $116.77 on the New York Stock Exchange to close at a 52-week high. In Brazil, Petrobras shares ended 14.1 percent higher Thursday at 80.17 reals ($45.94) in Sao Paulo.


The Tupi field lies under 2,140 meters (7,060 feet) of water, more than 3,000 meters (almost 10,000 feet) of sand and rocks, and then another 2,000-meter (6,600-foot) thick layer of salt. The company drilled test wells that lie under 2,166 meters (7,100 feet) of water, 286 kilometers (177 miles) south of Rio de Janeiro.

林梧桐逝世



2007/10/23 云顶国际集团创办人丹斯里林梧桐逝世。 于1918年在福建安溪出生,19岁时南来吉隆坡,从买卖废铁和二手机械生意起家,在1964年的54之龄投下巨资,一手打造马来西亚最大休闲胜地——云顶高原。

“一个朋友好意劝我,如果我是做木材的,在乌鲁加里山搞伐木倒不失为一个好主意。 至于要把云顶发展为一个旅游胜地,就有点儿像天方夜谭。” 采自
林梧桐《我的自传》里,回忆当年开创云顶时。


国父一席话改变云顶:

林梧桐原本构想将云顶打造成一个供一家大小避暑玩乐的胜地。 在1969年3 月31日,云顶首家酒店高原酒店开幕当天,为酒店主持开幕的国父东姑阿都拉曼,在致词时说了一句改变云顶命运的话。 国父当年说,他对林梧桐在毫无政府资助的情况下开发云顶,为大马旅游业作出贡献而深受感动,因此政府将优先考虑让云顶开办赌场。 林梧桐也因为这句话,把云顶发展避暑胜地,也开办起赌场业。

TA: MACD

Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Common MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-day exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-day EMA.

Indicators of MACD:
1. Crossovers - when the MACD falls below the signal line, it is a bearish signal, which indicates that it may be time to sell. Conversely, when the MACD rises above the signal line, the indicator gives a bullish signal.

2. Divergence - When the security price diverges from the MACD. It signals the end of the current trend.

MACD can combined use with Fibonacci retracement. See example below:

TA: Fibonacci Retracement

Fibonacci retracement is a very popular tool among technical traders and is based on the key numbers identified by mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci. In technical analysis, Fibonacci retracement is created by taking two extreme points (usually a major peak and bottom) on a stock chart and dividing the vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 100%.

Example recent KLCI chart



Steps of construct Fibonacci retracement
1. Identify major market trend; up or down
2. For major up trend, select from peak to bottom
3. Fibonacci retracement ratio: 38.2%, 50% and 61.8% (Golden level)

Support level 1: 1291, level 2: 1262
Strong support level: 1237
