Martin, oh Martin. I was trying to be kind to you for pointing out your failing so that you might improve. Being a science student, you ought to have some brains, so definitely I feel you have the potential to improve your English. As to your question how I know your inggeris (sic) is poor and your claim that your inggeris is still slightly better than mine, I will let the general forumers judge the accuracy of your claim by reading your writing posted at 11.17 a.m. today and ALL your previous postings. Please do not be offended so easily. Accept criticsm and that way you will improve. If you are still distressed, I offer my apologies.

If you own Sumatec shares or whatever shares, don't fall in love with the shares to the extend that you will not want to sell them. My dad used to advise me that it is very important NOT to follow your shares up and do nothing and then follow your shares down and do nothing. He said that when up, sell and forget the market for the time being. When down, buy and keep in cold storage until such times the market goes on a bull run. It works, at least for me.

Yes,esl. Up 1 sen, sell. Just play play only-lah. T+3 if down 1 sen also sell. Taka a loss. Let remisier make some commission.

Sumatec prospects now hinges on price recovery of petroleum. How long that will take is uncertain. Meanwhile be careful when buying O&G counters. Good luck.

Did the CIMB analyst put in a qualifier "when oil prices go back to 110 dollars"? I think he forgot.

To play T+3, can buy at 22.5 today. But don't hold, just to gamble a bit, say 50k units.

Ozzie, I DID sell my near-million Sumatec units at between 42 to 50 sen and if I wish, I could buy back more than 2 million units as of now. But I won't be doing it, not for now, at least.

The highest for Sumatec WB was 55.5 sen for the last 52 weeks. If I had a million units of Sumatec WB and if I had sold them at 42 sen a few months ago, I would be able to buy back 3 million units of Suma-Wb at 14 sen today, right now. How about that? I am a dreamer.

Martin, oh Martin. Please don't make a fool of yourself. Go and learn some proper English before you continue to write un-understandable English. I know people are being kind to you for not wanting to criticise you on the type of English you dish out! I am also trying to be kind to you for pointing out your failing. Sorry.

Sit back comfortably and watch the show today, if there is going to be one.

The first on the reserve list is Ytlpower. If there is going to be a change in the KLCI components, Ytlpower will go in first, I think. Anyway, this won't happen soon, maybe in 6 months' time. Correct me if I am wrong.

Leno, are you nuts? If Maybank could, it will charge you with sedition! Anyway, if Maybank can go bankrupt like Leno said, Malaysia will too.

I wouldn't touch Sumatec at 14 sen.

Right now, if you are the CEO of an O&G Co, your share price will be hard hit however capable you are. It will be unfair to assess the capability at this testing time. SKP made more profit as announced yesterday. Look at its share price today.

CD does not have a magic wand. Sumatec is down not due to anything but uncertainties of world petroleum prices. Let's say if oil prices were to rise back to 100 dollars next week, Sumatec will recoup its price, but until then, continue to frust. All of you will continue to frust for some time to come.

Ringtone, this reminds me of some characters in another thread in i3 who write English like they are writing mandarin. Can't understand even 25% of what they have written. What a waste of time, my time, trying to decipher/understand what they are writing about. I think they are writing "incommunicable English".

Oh, those days also got ketuanan, I tuan you hamba.

English will make people outward looking and more westernized and they may follow the ways of the mat sallehs and be more "thinking people". Then how to control them? Then how to make them vote for you? Divide and rule, man.

cpng, cut the nose to spite the face?

YK, in such a case, blessed are those who are out of the market with plenty of cash waiting to re-enter at the right time. Want to buy Maybank at 2.67 like in 1998 or CIMB at 90 sen?

888 means fatt, fatt, fatt or huat, huat, huat or up, up, up from here.

Mr Bear has come out of hibernation and Mr Bull has gone on holiday. When Mr Bull comes back from holiday, Mr Bear will go back to hibernate. That is stock market life. Don't worry too much but be careful always.

Maybank at 7? Why not? My dad said he bought lots of Maybank at 2.67 back in 1998 and lots of Commerce (CIMB back then) at 90 sen. To do so back then you need to have nerves of steel. Someone said : Be greedy when people are fearful.

ALL European markets down at this moment by 1 to 4%. NYSE futures down by 157 points. Will these figures affect Bursa? Definitely! Don't play-play.

Oil at $60 or oil at $150. Some will be happy and some will not be happy. Our Govt will have to look for money if oil stays at $60 for long.

How to communicate? I don't understand.

Lousy morning-lah, ozzie. Just by seeing red at the screen.

If things get uglier, below 2.00 would be fine with me.

US1=3.50? Not that bad. Remember US1=5.00+?

Someone said he graduated with a Phd from America but his command of the English language does not tally. Pulling legs? Sorry for being a doubting Thomas. My apologies first.

Govt will lose billions from Petronas contributions and you say it is good?

Banks will implement margin calls, won't they?

Only watch the market for the entertainment. Don't buy. I still say wait a while.

Some people are fearless and have very deep pockets. I am sure with this type of scenario many are already caught with their money tied up if they had not cut loss. Can these people still shout BUY? I say wait a while.

Will go down to 196. Watch out.

Why are overseas markets not as badly shaken? Why is Klci going down and down? If overseas markets start moving down, KL will be worse off. Watch out! Stay away. Be careful.

Has Bursa fallen at least 20% from its 52-week high? Has my favourite stock fallen by at least 60% from its 52-week high? Is my favourite stock a strong volume stock and a profitable Co.? If the answers are "Yes", then I will be buying. Otherwise wait and see.

Sometimes if you don't cut loss, you will lose more if prices continue to climb down. The uncertainty is, will prices continue to go down? Or like many people hope, prices will go back up? Many people live on HOPE! Do you?

Sumatec from 62 down to 25, that is a drop of 59.7%. If you have deep pockets and have the patience to wait for up to some years, Suma is worth buying to keep. When it and Bursa generally, rebounds, Suma is going to rebound strongly. Having said this, I am waiting for the right time to re-enter. When Suma has dropped 60%, how much downside risk is there? Upside gain will be substantial. Think before you follow what I have said.

Systech just slapped with UMA. Still so bullish?

I repeat: DON'T buy even at 26.5 sen.

DON'T buy even at 26.5 sen.

Or better still avoid Bursa for now.

Anything with O&G avoid for now.

Wait for 26.5.

Bjcorp is not doing well because a supersalesman is 'overselling' it. If he stops it might do better.

Calvintan says "be careful of what RHB or what CIMB says about IFCA." I say be careful of what Calvintan says about Bjcorp.

If you had bought last Friday at between 74 to 78, wouldn't you want to take profit at between 93.5 to 90? Today is T+3.

If you shake a fruit tree full of fruits, the rotten ones will drop first leaving the good strong ones to grow to maturity. Likewise, if you shake the IFCA tree, the weak holders will drop out leaving the strong ones to continue. Fear not.

If it can make you all happy, I'll say it will close 150. Just kidding.
