STEng @ $3.24

Buy @ $3.24.

I was in the Q @ $3.25 and got done lower at 5pm matching. No, not my usual Jump-Q routine. I wanted to buy back some as I got carried away and sold till I was left with only 1/3 of original holdings. Will still trade if the opportunity arises. 😀

STEng @ $3.26

Sell @ $3.26.

Quite reluctant to sell as they'd been lots of positive news lately of their various new orders. But, as xd date (23-Apr) approaches, am also afraid of a huge drop of more than Div = 12.5ct if history repeats. STI is bullish @ 3001, +15 makes me even more reluctant to sell. But, have to remind myself PE = 18.98 ; Yield = 4.74% is no longer that attractive unless I start to view it as a Growth Stock. Will likely switch to SIA Engg.

Can see a battle on-going between 1-lot buyer and seller, with the seller being more aggressive at this point. Buyer CP = CSFB, Macquarie.

 

1:55PM

Sell @ $3.30. My magic is working again. The moment I sell, it shoots up! I'm clearing my most expensive ones @ $3.266 (Buy on 7-Feb-11) first. In this way, I can consider to buy back the moment it drops to ~$3.26! Buyer CP – DMG.

 

5:05PM

Sell @ $3.29. Tried to Jump-Q for more $3.30 sales but the Q dropped at the last minute of matching. After the earlier $3.30 sell, prices weakened to ~$3.28 and that's what made me decide to sell more.. Buyer CP – UOBKH. Looks like the 'ang-mo' CP driven buy up is sucking in the local CP ones.

One possible explanation for the buy up is that with the better EPS for FY11, even the current PE of ~19 is still 'cheap' compared to the last 2 years' average of 20-21. If so, then there may be more room to run till $3.5x! PE was even higher at 24 during FY05 – FY07.

For me, take profit first. Let others make the extra 5% – 10%. I buy back again when it drops or if it doesn't, I switch to others which offers me min. 5% Yield.

The final tally for today – sold 2/3 of my holdings. I'm ok to hold the balance or to sell. I'm also open to start buying back at $3.26 based on my accounting recognition of selling the most expensive ones today ie. $3.266, $3.24, $3.215 + the cheapest ones $2.79.

STEng @ $3.17

Sell @ $3.17.

Decided to contra off and take profit. STI -26 @ 2956 while STEng +2ct after +6ct yesterday (-5ct the day before which triggered me to buy).

Someone is doing 1 lot buys throughout the whole day! Perhaps they are attracted by the news of STMarine winning a huge contract of S$880M from Oman with deliveries in '15 – '16. Buyer CP = JPM, Macquarie & CSFB, must be some kind of co-ordinated attack or a large buyer spreading the buys over 3 brokerages!

STEng @ $3.09

Buy @ $3.09. Hit my target 5% Yield, buy some to trade or keep (if stuck). Watch xd on 23-Apr closely for trade. STI -30 @ 2956 ; STEng -5ct. Seller CP = CSFB. 😀

STEng @ $3.24

Sell @ $3.24. Decided to take profit as I need to build up my free cash for buying more Popular Hldgs shares. A bit reluctant to sell as I was targetting $3.3x before xd on 23-Apr. 😀

STEng @ $3.07

Buy @ $3.07. Add back to my collection. STI -8 @ 2924, STEng -3ct. May drop some more as mkt is weak. Looks like Greece problem is still with us, with DJ -203 last night. 😀

11:02am
Buy @ $3.06. Slowly buy more on it's way down.

12:18pm
Buy @ $3.05.

2:22pm
Buy @ $3.04

STEng @ $2.71

Sell @ $2.71. Take some profit. Looks like someone's trying to buy it up today, +3ct with STI -7 @ 2665. Buyer CP '05' – UOBKH. 😀

STEng @ $2.665

Buy @ $2.67 and $2.66. Getting cheaper than my previous lowest buys! Seller CP '26' – BNP, '73' – Macquarie and '84' – UBS. 😀
