Over the past week, it was evident that the number of insider and substantial shareholder purchases that was reported to the SGX far outnumbers the sell transactions. However, there are a few stocks that have been sold over the past two weeks or so (e.g. Yongnam and Noel Gifts). So it seems like accumulation is still on everyone's mind.

ASIAN MARKET COMMENTARY
-----------------------
The Hang Seng, Nikkei and Straits Times Indexes were all up in the past week as the momentum indicators bottomed and started heading up. The overwhelming number of "smart money" buys in the Singapore market would be one of the key factors for the rally as I would expect the situation in the other markets to be very much the same. But as good as the rally over the past week was, the short term stochastics has hit overbought levels accompanied by a high market breadth, a short pull-back may be round the corner.

US MARKET COMMENTARY
--------------------
I've updated the Consumer Sentiment and NASDAQ data for Feb'07 into the monthly indicators chart. Both series are starting to head down. And if the market closes lower for Mar'07, it might spark off another wave of selling. And who knows, the sell-off might then be enough for the FED to consider cutting rates. But as always, we'll let the market speak for itself.

A couple of weeks ago, I was mentioning about a pick up in put buying signalling the start of a sell-off. Well, the volume of put options did indeed pickup at the end of Feb'07. The (light green) PCR (Put-Call Ratio) line was on the rise, and rising volume on the CBOE Total Equity Options VOlume pane confirmed the increase.

Here's how I read the PCR line: If it rises, more puts are bought relative to the day before and vice versa.

The previous short term peaks and troughs of the PCR line that coincides with the peaks in equity options volume will show if the market prefers calls or puts.

The sell-off that started in Apr'06 also started with a switch from high call volume to high put volume.

SHORT-TERM OUTLOOK
------------------
As mentioned the slow stochastics has moved into overbought territory, but the market should remain bullish in the short term until we see the lows of the previous two days get taken out (and the stochastics starts falling)

Both the PCR and Volatility Oscillator lines have moved down substantially. The Volatility line has reached its historically significant low level while the PCR line is almost there. Low levels (a trough) in these two lines usually signal that a short-term top is near. Put that together with a peak in the stochastics indicator and a breakdown in price, we have a very reliable setup for going short.

MEDIUM-TERM OUTLOOK
-------------------
The Stochastics for the weekly NASDAQ chart is in neutral zone while the MACD is still in the high zone (and falling). Put that together with the drop in Consumer Sentiment and NASDAQ Rate-of-change from the monthly indicators, I'm not too positive about the medium term.

Have a gd week!
