Broker/trader comments
Raphael Wilhelm, research director, Viet Capital Securities:
"All the ratings remain up and we should see more strength after Tet until the end of the first quarter. The 425 (points) is achievable."
"A short-term resistance can be found at 375, which is the mark where the market dropped 12 percent after it broke below it. I believe that January low was the medium-term bottom."
Nguyen Tuan, investment director, FLC Securities:
"Had major blue chips such as Bao Viet, VietinBank , and Vincom been excluded, the VN index would have had a correction today."
"A part of cash was partly withdrawn from the market."
"The market's outlook is gloomy." ($1=21,010 dong)
