Some call it Skyscraper Index, some call it Tallest Building Indicator and some call it Erection Index (to a man, it could mean something else though).  Also some call it Tower of Babel indicator.

Fundamental Analysis vs Technical Analysis. Yes, they are all using PAST data to predict the FUTURE. Oh, just like the never ending war in the Middle-East, the war between technical analysis and fundamental/financial analysis  believers sill goes on until today.

Your KLCI data up to 3rd July 09 refer to a basket of 100 counters but on 6th July 09 and onward, KLCI data refer to a basket of 30 counters.

Shouldn't give more power to minority shareholders?

Bursa Malaysia to allow T + 7 day settlement. Well, this is really a good news for contra players! You'll get longer "holding power", more days before you make the payment. If you are a contra player with technical based trading - especially when you buy on the technical break-out (resistance line's break-out, median line's breakout or bullish candlesticks pattern, etc) or reversal

When Bursa announced it few months earlier, I thought there will also be tick sizes change for counters below RM1.  So it is surprise for me, when there is no change at all. I think counters below RM1 that is more in need of tick sizes changes. For penny stocks (depend on the price) there can be 10% difference between the top buy quote and top sell quote. The gap (because of tick rules)

The so called annual Chinese New Year rally ran only for the first few days of January. So, what can we expect for the rest of the quarter? Now, with news of the big factories start laying off workers, we don't expect much. The coming event that shouldn't be ignored is the UMNO election, coming this March (24th to 28th). Now, the big question is: will there be a market rally prior to that? Or

Talking about election factor, it is not just about to raise the feel good factor, it also about  to raise lot of funds. True, bullish market does raise the feel good about the economy and it is not that difficult to raise the index. That was a nasty correction for those who made  entries early January. That's probably after seeing the market gave a great 2011 bullish

You already heard some said they are selling because they are taking "sell in May and go way" market adage. Well, I don't think market participants would enter selling mode simply because of that adage. Since when they really follow that wise adage or something similar FBM KLCI is at another junction again. Former 1, 300 pt support level is now the main resistance and KLCI is now very, very
