8:38 pm - Watch out for Jan 30/31 FOMC meeting by the Federal Reserve. They are looking to cut interest rate again !

Wall Street heads to higher open
NEW YORK (AP) - Wall Street headed for a rebound Monday amid speculation that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates to ward off a recession. There is little in the way of corporate or economic news expected during the session. Instead, investors are looking toward Thursday's speech from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke for clues about the central bank's intentions. Further moves by the Fed at its Jan. 29-30 meeting can't come soon enough for some traders. Wall Street dropped sharply on Friday after a government report showed a jump in the unemployment rate and sluggish payroll growth. In just the first three trading days of 2008, the Dow Jones industrial average lost 3.50 percent, the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 3.86 percent, and the Nasdaq composite index dropped 5.57 percent. On Monday, Dow futures rose 55 points, or 0.48 percent, to 12,942.00. Broader indexes also indicated a higher open, with Standard & Poor's 500 index futures up 7.90, or 0.56 percent, at 1,430.80; and Nasdaq composite futures up 8.00, or 0.40 percent, at 1,993.00. Bond prices were little changed in overnight trading Monday after a rally during the past week. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 3.88 percent from 3.87 percent late Friday. Investors might get some relief Monday from falling crude prices. Oil dropped as energy traders reacted to the potential of a recession in the U.S. after last week's disappointing employment report. A barrel of light, sweet crude dropped 52 cents to $97.39 in pre-opening trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. More clues about the economy are expected from fourth-quarter earnings season. Aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. on Tuesday will be the first of the 30 Dow Jones industrials to report results. In corporate news, Time Warner Inc. could be in focus after the entertainment company announced it plans to release high-definition movies on Blu-ray rather than Toshiba Corp.'s HD DVD formal. Blu-ray is owned by Sony Corp. The announcement comes as the Consumer Electronics Show kicks off in Las Vegas this week. Overseas, Japan's Nikkei stock average closed down 1.30 percent. Britain's FTSE 100 rose 0.23 percent, Germany's DAX index added 0.34 percent, and France's CAC-40 was up 0.41 percent. Copyright 2007 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may

5:22 pm - FKLI closed lower but KLCI closed high 1470.77


Last minutes buying by big players to close the KLCI higher. TG signals were to short the market. However, KLCI closed higher.


Mix signals. Abandon short position at 4.50 pm. No position. Await tomorrow.



4:02 pm - Hang Seng closed lower better than expected.


FKLI wash out the long position trader and maybe it is forming a double top.


3:32 pm - What happens to KLCI last year during the first week of Jan 07 ?

After the big buying by the big players, the KLCI moves sideways for a while before the big move uptrend.

Will we see this trend this year ?

With the election coming, the probability is high.

The FKLI market will corrects i.e. to move sideways or downtrend to wash the long and short players before it pushes up.

2:47 pm - All my MACD indicators has turned downward.

In short term, FKLI is bullish. Resistance at 1458/1460.

1:11 pm - FKLI turn bearish and selldown. KLCI cud not hold and turn negative too.


We are out of our long position. Support at 1457 broken. Sad ! But it is not a short trade yet. FKLI may move sideway now.


11:53 am - It has to break 1470 to go higher.


Support at 1457 for today.

11:24 am - FCPO continue to move downtrend.




After support at 3120 being broken, FCPO continue downtrend. Daily FCPO has 3 down bars.







9:43 am - FKLI holding nicely at 1458/1460. TG has buy signals this morning.


Our stop loss is tight for any FKLI reversal.
