yh21, foreign funds have been buying for weeks. Other markets have been rallying. When the trend changes, you must not hesitate to act.

jake81, HSI first attempt at 20,500 not successful. It may re-test later

other markets mostly lower a bit

Wild ride especially in Europe last night. ECB lowered three key rates at the meeting and extending the scope of its comprehensive Quantitative Easing program. Markets in Europe were up until ECB's commented that likely no further rate cut in the future

Nikkei drops today after Japan’s BSI manufacturing index reported -7.9 vs. 4.2 forecast

At the weekend, China will report data on industrial production and retail sales

Fam Jenny, call and put warrants are for short term play, can be a few minutes, a few hours, next day, a few days etc. Usually we do not keep until expiry date.

Dow was not as strong. Investors are waiting for the decision of European Central Bank tonight regarding interest rate. Maybe HSI will also like that, trading cautiously

HSI looks stable even though Shanghai drops close to 3%

Shanghai to open with -2%

but HSI future looks stable.. only drops 60 points

looks like put warrants are better choice today

luckily HSI up slowly... still able to get call warrant at good price

Shanghai dropped 3% also can become green... let's see HSI

I will not hold anything during the break

no matter what the direction, hopefully it is big enough for everyone

looks like Shanghai and HSI are recovering slowly

China trade data is supposed to be bad but both Shanghai and HSI do not drop further

CNY Trade Balance (USD) 32.59B (50.15B expected)
CNY Imports (YoY) -13.8% (-10.0% expected)
CNY Exports (YoY) -25.4% (-12.5% expected)

China data at about 11am... so be careful

hmm... let's see if Shanghai is recovering

let's see if 20,000 can hold or not

Shanghai dropping more than 1%

today market is probably like yesterday. It may become more volatile after China announces trade data

HSI-C14 loses about 1 sen a day with 2-3 weeks remaining, and loses about 2-3 sen a day with 1 week remaining. Therefore it is more suitable for intra day trade as it approaches expiry date.

most markets are stable today. No bad news since last Friday.

looks like HSI get support at 20,100 level and the immediate resistance at 20,200.

I am told China will release trade data tomorrow. Can someone confirm this news?

it says the next rate increase is most likely to be end of the year

according to Briefing .com

https://www.briefing.com/investor/markets/stock-market-update/

Atlanta Fed's GDPNow forecast for the first quarter was raised to 2.2% from 1.9% on March 1.

I think this piece of information is bullish.Still think the uptrend will continue. Good day to buy if market does not jump too high today

according to investing.com

Nonfarm Payrolls 242K (190K expected)

so it's bullish data. Economic is not as bad as feared.

now let's see how Dow Jones reacts to this data. Usually Dow Jones should be up, but it may be down if more people are worry about interest rate hike. Let's see who wins

later today at about 8:30pm, we check US Nonfarm Payrolls data
then we see how Dow Jones react to it
then we see how the oil price ends this week

from now until Monday morning, we have to monitor other news

nothing special, just like how we forecast KLCI. Anyway, most market will move the same way. Usually they up together, and down together.

StingRay, please note that HSI call and put warrants track the HSI future (20,097), and not the actual HSI (ended 20,176). Same as other index warrants.

Wei Jie Yau, what you do is guessing. You better do not guess when you play risky thing like index warrants. You better read the news especially economic data, other market especially the Dow, and look at the chart of HSI.

don't worry if you miss the boat today. When HSI offers opportunity, the seniors will let us know, call or put.

Wei Jie Yau, if you do not know how to read chart, better follow the seniors first

klee, should we keep call warrants for next week?

next time seniors like klee, kakisaham etc. share their views, you better follow

very fierce bull...

You can find some basic information about call and put warrants at the following web site

https://www.malaysiawarrants.com.my/indexdw

our market close at 12:30pm, re-open at 2:30pm. But Hong Kong market close at 12pm, re-open at 1pm. If there is a big move during 1pm-2:30pm before our market open, we can not do anything and only can watch. So there are some traders who will sell everything before our lunch break.

better sell everything before lunch break as we can not act from 1pm-2:30pm

yo-yo again...

you better believe seniors like klee, kakisaham etc.

let's see if 20,000 points can hold or not

still early... let's see if HSI will reverse

Hope someone will find this web site useful

Fear in Greed Index (related to US market)
http://money.cnn.com/data/fear-and-greed/

There are response from MClean after inquiry from Bursa

http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/5019061

http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/5020905

so unfortunate after I bought the shares. Maybe I should try my luck at 4D! Anyway, I will keep them and follow up with the development of this company

but I am afraid Dow and other markets already up so many days, time for them to take rest and this may affect China and Hong Kong.

anyway, I see no clear signal and will stay aside

klee , what is it about EPF?

profit taking started at KLCI

no clear signal so no tips from senior
