Tea with AK71: Top 5 posts (Part 2).

On 17 April 2010, I mentioned that I was surprised to find that the most read post in my blog was one of my first blog posts written last year on Christmas Eve. That same post remained in the top spot until recently.  It is now in number three position.  Considering its age and having more time on its side, which later posts could have dethroned it?

The following ranking is based on the number of pageviews each post generated since the day they were published:

Number One:
Create more passive income with limited capital.
(29 May 2010)
- All of us have limited capital.  How do we make our capital work harder to give us more in return?  That is a question that many would like to have answered.  This post provides a possible answer to this question and this is probably why it is in the top position.

Number Two:
A minimum of 50k in annual passive income.
(5 Sep 2010)
- The interest this post has generated has been astounding thus far. The allure of passive income is unmistakable and when we put a value to what could be achieved annually if we work at it, it becomes a powerful statement.

Number Three:
High yield portfolio.
(24 Dec 2009)
- Previously Number One and the only post in the previous top 5 posts to retain a position in this ranking exercise.  The interest in building a high yield portfolio is perennial, it seems, and stronger than I could ever imagine.

Number Four:
K-Green Trust: A stable source of passive income.
(3 Jul 2010)
- Making it to the top 5 is my first post on K-Green Trust.  This is a very safe instrument for passive income generation.  I like this trust but wish it could be cheaper, of course.

Number Five:
AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT: Rights issue.
(23 Aug 2010)
- This is a post which could slowly fade into oblivion once the rights issue is done and over with.  For now, it is generating quite a lot of interest.

SPH: Touched $4.20.

SPH touched $4.20 today but that price saw few transactions although volume expanded.  Few were willing to buy at that price, it would seem.  A short legged doji was formed and this could be interpreted as a day of tight price action with price closing ultimately unchanged from the opening. There is little conviction by either the bulls or the bears today although an increase in trading volume suggests that the tug of war grew in strength.

A rising OBV suggests more accumulation activities while the momentum oscillators are flattening in overbought territories. This suggests that demand is faltering and buying pressure is tapering off. A correction from oversold conditions could very likely be next.

Although a correction could be avoided if volume expands in the next few sessions as price pushes upwards, such a move would have a formidable sell queue to clear at $4.20. If ever this resistance was cleared, SPH's share price could fly.  At the moment, chances are slim that this would happen.  TA is all about probability after all.
