Technical Analysis Course organised by SGX
Last Saturday (18 Aug), I had to wake up at 7am to attend a SGX seminar on Technical Analysis. 7am on a Saturday morning is VERY early by my standard. But unlike waking up to get to work on weekday, I was full of vigour that morning knowing that I am going to be another step closer to my goal of beem financial indenpendant.
To get a place in the seminar, I had to register for it way back in June 2007 (This was before I attended Adam Khoo's Wealth Acadamy in July).
The 2-hour SGX course was conducted at a SMU lecture threatre. The course focused mainly on:
- Candle-Stick Basics (reading candles and scenerios like Shooting star, Hammer, etc)
- Indicators like Moving Averages, RSI, Stochatics
- Case studies on SGX stocks like Noble, Hyflux, Creative, etc
Overall, this 2 hours was more like a refresher for me as I am familiar with most of the concepts introduced. Had I knew nothing about Candle Sticks and Indicators, I think I will be quite lost since the trainer didn't to indepth in explaining the concepts. The materials provided are also of poor quality because it contains screenshots of full-page charts with very little explanation on how to interprete them. I guess its a case of paying peanuts and getting monkeys. The course fee is just $25. Having said that, I still think that the course is a good refresher for me.

Want to mentioned that on the same Saturday, I attended a free seminar organised by SIAS, which stands for Securities Investors Association (Singapore).
The seminar was held in SGX Centre 1 in Shenton Way. The semniars consisit of 2 parts:
1) Introduction to Structured Products by Rabobank
2) What is the issue with US Sub-Prime regulations and how it impacts global financial markets
What I took away from this seminar is that I got to understand better on how tightening of the US Sub Prime property loans created a cascading effect on global markets.
