One may buy naked puts
No dirty thoughts please
Or use such options to hedge
Long positions in underlying
By the way news reporting about indices
Or stock closes can be very misleading
Big gap up but trade down for all day
Still reported as up if gap not closed


People don’t seem to grasp easily the fundamentals of stock trading. I have often said, that to buy on a rising market is the most comfortable way of buying stocks. Now, the point is not so much to buy as cheap as possible or go short at top prices, but to buy or sell at the right time. When I am bearish and I sell a stock, each sale must be at a lower level than the previous sale. When I am buying the reverse is true. I must buy on a rising scale. I don’t buy long stock on a scale down I buy on a scale up. - Jesse Livermore

those are pretty solid companies.......singtel has dividends too....i cant tell u whether their prices will go up in the future or they are already at their peak price,just sell the counters that ur not sure of.maybe stick to the solid blue chip companies that have strong dividend histories.

The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing pays homage to Bogle and Vanguard, but goes much further to include guidance on general financial planning, tax management, insurance, and more.

The Four Pillars of Investing gives advice on indexing within a context of understanding the market.

All About Index Funds tells you ... all about index funds: a compact, comprehensive resource.

How a Second Grader Beats Wall Street presents an ultra-simple portfolio of just three index funds, and provides lots of practical guidance. Anybody past the paste-eating stage can learn from this book.

Unconventional Success covers advanced topics, including reasons why some indexes and funds are better than others. The author writes like a man on a mission, warning you about "slimy" practices that the industry would rather keep hidden.
