SELL Creative Singapore at $3.39 on Aug 9

Despite a happy moment for Singapore on its 47th Birthday, one firm is in trouble after chalking up 3 years of consecutive losses - Creative Singapore.

Creative has reported its earnings (or losses) report after market closed on Wednesday and markets are still closed due to National Day.

An important announcement is made after its Full Year reports as seen below:

Luckily Creative is not a small-cap company, but however, more bad news await for Creative...

1) Currently embroiled in a lawsuit with a vendor over a wireless broadband network project

2) Creative does not expect an improvement to be registered at the end of the current quarter & is expecting to report an operating loss for the year.

3) Company said the overall market for its products remains challenging

The technical conditions also back up the fundamental analysis...

If you look at the chart, Creative is at the tipping point of a descending triangle. If such bad news and net losses keep pillng up, i believe there is only one way for it to go... Down.
