Sembcorp Marine Rights Issue - What to do?

I have 3 options:  do nothing  sell the rights  subscribe  1. Do Nothing There is no cash outlay but if I let the rights lapse  I will then see my  stake diluted when the exercise is completed. 2. Sell the rights I can sell their rights in the market, so this option results in cash inflow .  The rights appear on the Singapore Exchange's website as "Sembcorp Marine R". https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/quote/THFR.SI?p=THFR.SI&.tsrc=fin-srch As the rights have an expiry date, the value of the rights will fall closer to the expiry date. 3. Subscribe This involves cash outflow and would entail paying SMM S$1 to get five new shares for each share currently held. This option would be suitable if I have faith in SMM's long-term future. Which should I choose? I want liquid cash to buy other stocks. So maybe I should sell the rights. In that case I must subscribe first! It might not be a good idea to throw good money after bad. Shareholders may wish to think twice before subs

How to use RSI indicator

Apply RSI 5 and RSI 14 Apply a short 5 period RSI (RSI 5) over the longer (default) 14 period RSI (RSI 14) and watch for crossovers.  With the RSI 14, there are times when the market does not reach the oversold or overbought levels before a shifting direction occurs.  A shorter period RSI is more reactive to recent price changes, so it can show early signs of reversals.  Buy Signal When the RSI 5 crosses above the RSI 14, it means that recent prices are getting higher. A buy signal is then generated, and a 5 vs. 14 cross should happen when the 5 period (blue) is oversold (below 30).  Sell Signal When the RSI 5 crosses below and becomes lower than the RSI 14, it means that recent prices are declining.  This is a sell signal. A 5 vs. 14 cross should occur when the 5 period (blue) is overbought (above 80).  Works well with Pivot Points Experienced traders may find that their trading performance greatly benefits from combining a RSI trading strategy with  Pivot Points .

How To Predict Stock Spikes

If OBV (On-Balance Volume) is up, or Money Flow indicator is positive, but no increase in stock price, then the price is likely to go up. If daily trading volume increases to at least double the average, and the price of the stock moves higher, then invest. This is often the beginning of a nice upward price trend. If the stock company name, product, or industry keeps coming up, in social buzz or different sources, then the Hype may drive the stock price dramatically higher in the short term.

How do you prevent Supertrend false signal?

One advantage of the smaller Supertrend parameters is that we get more timely entries and exits...  When we lower the Supertrend parameters, we need to use another indicator to reduce the whipsaws and usually it ends up being an oscillator as oscillators are leading indicators. Supertrend(10,3) when combined with RSI(14) does not work so well, but if we combine RSI(7) with Supertrend(5,1.5), it gives interesting results and eliminates a lot of false signals. The general rule can be described as follows:   RSI followed by Supertrend rule: Buy, if you get a Buy signal in RSI(7), followed by a Buy signal in Supertrend(5,1.5) within 2-3 candles. Sell, if you get a Sell signal in RSI(7), followed by a Sell signal in Supertrend(5,1.5) within 2-3 candles.

🎯My daily stock trading habits - 4 August 2020

🎯 The objective has changed. It's not about buying and holding anymore (aka investment). Now it's about getting in and out quickly (trading). So here's my updated daily stock trading habits. Open Yahoo Finance.  Go to my watch list.  Go through every stock full chart.  Look for the Supertrend Buy signal (range YTD, interval 1D).  If Supertrend shows a buy signal, wait for the first pull-down to buy. Go through every BOUGHT stock full chart.  If Supertrend shows a sell signal, sell, otherwise, hold. Add more qualified stocks to the list. Think of PHP coding to automate all the above.
