To Investors :
Investment tip takeaway ๐ฆ this week:
This week is simply... Sell away or reduce your holdings by this Friday.
Last week, STI tested 3100 critical support, and any big chips were thrown down and broke down from support levels. And basically, I would maintain my previous recommendation: Sell whenever prices rebound. And entering into October, I preferred to unload more holdings and will only buy back in the month of Nov.
