MY TAKE ON INVESTING

Like everyone else, there is only one reason why I study, analyse and participate in the financial markets - and that is to make money. But the difference with me and most other people is that I am willing to use anything (legally) possible to do it. If counting the number of cockroaches that I see everyday gives me an edge in the market, I'll do it. If it works, I'll use it; be it keeping tabs on the economy, looking at charts and indicators (technical analysis), looking at value or growth potential (fundamental analysis), profits & earnings + other related market activity (quantitive analysis), through insider activity + consumer surveys (sentiment analysis) and yes even astrology.

I've spent over five years monitoring, studying, observing and trading the financial markets. My quest was to find out what makes the financial markets move, to find something substantial, something that will provide consistent monetary gains. I don't want to just accept what other authors say/write as gospel truth, I want to know why. In 2005, I took a masters degree in finance to see if what they teach in the university adds any value towards investing success - the answer is 'not really'. Investment knowledge builds up with time - what might seem unimportant to you now may become what you need to get you to the next 'level'. Such is my experience with fundamental, quantitative, economic and sentiment analysis.

What you see in this blog represents quite a number of item(s) and technique(s) that have met - like what W.D. Gann says - my '(utmost) satisfaction' and I hope that they can be of use to the investment pilgrim who's also on a quest for understanding and success.

SGX Insider & Substantial Shareholder Activity from 06 - 10 Nov 06

Some of the institutional and fund trades over the past week are:
JP Morgan - CSE Global
JF Asset Mgmt - Ferrochina
Tiedemann Global Emerging Markets LP - Advanced Module Group
Merrill Lynch - JiuTian Chemical (Share Placement)
The Capital Group Companies Inc - Bio Treat
The Capital Group Companies Inc - Olam
Third Avenue Management LLC - WBL

I'm currently busy preparing for my exams so didnt really have much time for analysis. But equity options volume on the CBOE shot up to significant levels last Wed and Thur as put volume for these 2 days were highest in the last 2 weeks . Seems like people are starting to buy some insurance for their portfolios.The slow stochastics indicator is at oversold level for the Nikkei225 , is turning down on the FTSE100 and at overbought level on the Nasdaq Composite.

I'm currently looking for data on block trades for stocks on the NYSE, so if anyone knows where I can find them (for free :), pls let me know... academic studies shows that block trades executed through the exchange have high informational content relative to off-market ones (i.e. informed trading) and I'm trying to see if that's true.
