Done my weekly reading of The EDGE. Goola Warden, Darryl Guppy and Michael Kahn are people whose articles I enjoy reading. I have also learned a lot about TA from their writings. In this issue of The EDGE, all of them have gone decidedly bearish about the prospects of global stock markets. My own reading of the STI shows that the uptrend is still intact but the index is in a rather dicey situation should it not confirm the reversal signal seen in the last session. With the US market closing in the red in the last session, the STI has to look to the SSE and HSI for leadership and we might agree that it is not all that promising.
So, what are we to do? I have taken much of my profit off the table three weeks ago. I have been averaging back into the market as prices came down to supports. Looking ahead, I plan to continue accumulating high yielding counters at attractive valuations. This remains the core of my investment strategy as my long term aim is to acquire a reliable passive income stream from high yields.
Which high yields would I want to accumulate? After all, you might remember that I revealed a long list of high yields which I currently own. Please see: Grow your wealth and beat inflation.
One high yield which I have been constantly accumulating and will continue to do so is Saizen REIT. Amongst the S-REITs, it is hard to find another REIT with as compelling a valuation. Having said that, there are a few others which I am keen on and I will keep an eye on. They are AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT, LMIR and Suntec REIT. Any decline in unit prices of these REITs will be an opportunity for me to further secure yields of >10% p.a. from various sources.
I would be looking out for opportunities to partially divest my remaining investment in Healthway Medical as I stated in a comment to this post: Healthway Medical: Dwindling volume. I said: "Healthway Medical does look like it is suffering from fatigue of late. With more shares being issued and with the lower target price by DMG, it is probably difficult for the counter to form a new high anytime soon."
I will also be keeping an eye on Golden Agriculture. If the 100dMA support at 48c breaks, it is very bearish. Any move up towards the 20dMA at 56c in the near future provides an opportunity to reduce exposure.
I still like the long term fundamentals of Healthway Medical and Golden Agriculture. However, as Darryl Guppy expressed so well: "Markets are efficient at recording the emotional behaviour of participants. They are less efficient at reflecting the economic fundamentals." I have also said that it is important to know when to buy but it is also important to know when to sell: Rationale for partial divestment.
Good luck in the new week!

STI: What now?
Saturday, January 30, 2010
In reply to a question from a visitor to my blog, Anthony, on whether the decline in the STI is the beginnings of another bear market, I said, "We will have to pay attention to the trend. The STI, despite its current weakness, is still trading above the channel support. The uptrend is intact. The market is just going through a much needed correction."
If the STI does break down, there is some way to fall and I expect the rising 200dMA to provide some support. That is at 2,550 thereabouts next week. I have also identified two support levels in red based on candlesticks support and resistance. Let us hope we never have to test those levels. Then again, Mr. Market pays scant attention to our hopes.
