MervHoldings - 001

The blog has been quiet so I figured I should make my first real post.

Since I do not trade frequently, I will not have post on trade actions to show. Rather, following my type of approach, I would recommend some good material for people new to stock investment from time to time.

Since I do not trade in the U.S. Market, I cannot really give detailed comments about what I think about certain stocks in the U.S. However, I can generally say that the U.S. Market, although still weak in recovery compared to some other countries, should not go into a double dip. I, for one, do not think that a double dip is going to happen (I hope not too). They have already screwed it up once...they cannot afford to do so again in such a short period of time.

On the flip side, the STI is making a great recovery. Many stocks have been setting recent 52-week highs and with Singapore's stable economy and sound financial systems in place, recovery is only a matter of time. I believe many of the higher priced stocks of old will gain back their value as healthy results should start to roll in. Slowly in 2010 but I think we should be seeing a better acceleration of results in 2011. Quite a few stocks now are still cheap in my opinion and I feel, in about 2 years time, their prices now would be considered a steal.

For a good read on the different terms and mechanics of stock investments, especially those new to investing, can take a look at www.investopedia.com for some useful information.
