Paper Trade of SembMar

First profit target at around $3.3 has been achieved to my surprise within such a short period of time due to the sudden plunge of the Dow Jones Industrial Average along with the Straits Times Index. Inverted hammer with a extremely unusual long wick formed that tested $3.3 as a resistance level. I will be covering the short if it breaches $3.3 again.
Saw 10% profit went up in smoke. Should have took profit knowing that the steep plunge was unsustainable.

Paper Trade of City Developments

Bear Flag spotted for Capitaland but it broke out too far from the resistance cum support line. Shorting City Developments instead due to breakout of the right-angled ascending broadening formation.

Covering City Dev on market opening of Wednesday, 27th August 2008.
Filled at $10.04
Percentage loss with commission at 1%.

Got whipsawed for the 3rd consecutive time. I was not at home yesterday so I din manage to update my covering back of the short this morning. It is getting harder and harder to trade. It is to my surprise that I got whipsawed on City Dev when the other property counters such as Kepland and Capitaland continues to head south.

Paper Trade of Noble

Taking a another go again due to Noble forming a head and shoulders formation.
Got whipsaw again. This time, it is a huge whipsaw and unexpected things do happen. Should be looking at a loss of at least 5%. The main reason for this huge loss is because of the release of results for this quarter by Noble. Perhaps one should not take position before important dates such as this.
