Thought Techincal analysis wouldn't work in this situation? 'Crystal ball' work, guess skk888's crystal ball has let him earned handful of profit when he buoght in at $1.39. Peter-Pan 'Crystal ball' of $1.255 doesn't since to be working well?

FENG SHUI for shortists have changed.   In the past 10 years, they (the shortists) were enjoying life to the fullest.   This time round, it could be the longists going to enjoy life to the fullest, and for many years to come. hahaha.   Shortists, please short some more,more and more, more, some more, because the market wants and needs you to contribute and repay what you have made these past 10 years. Lol.
Greed is a weakness of most shortists. All being baited in with the hopes of < $1 in very short term.
Loks like many shortists gona eat maggi mee  bread over xmas already.. =D

short covering and profit taking...its not over yet...
Sg market has no advanced platform for trading stop losses, or trailing stops.   These platforms for " high fly trading" require very skilled IT maintenance staffs and good system software programs that Singapore brokers either lacked or refused to implement for reasons of their own agendas. 
Only poems's " protrader" has an useful substitute function that a trader can use for something like stop loss and " self implemented trailing stops" . However, not everyone gets to be able to use it unless you have high trading volumes or pay for subscription for the " pro-trader" facility. 
I think the lack of advanced platforms in Singapore is due to the brokerage firms' could not be bothered attitude towards business and clients' interests..   We don't have the right culture currently. Lol.
It is going a be big problem for shortists.. now it has gone up as high as 1.49
