What will we be left with?

Woh?? i sent it to you many many days …. weeksssss ago???

This global financial crisis is going to be bigger than 1998 asian financial crisis… MUCH BIGGER!

It is not a question of if the plane will crash , but how hard will it crash. Next year starting it is not a good year for anyone, not even for engineers, not for IT not for business or finance people especially. Last year, John and I agreed that It might be after US presidential election (Nov 2008) that the crash will start to happen, but It seems that they cannot hold it that longer. udah keburu ejakulasi dini istilahnya hahaha

There are a few sectors that will still grow,
1. renewable energy : solar, wind power, nuclear, and bio-fuel (because all those indian/ chinese coming out of village starting to realize that they want electricity + to produce more food and clothes and needs for those 2 billion people making transition to modern world)
2. Farm/Agriculture: Rice, soy bean, oil will remind quite steady because orang kampung start to taste how good the taste of KFC or fried food , they dont eat ikan kukus or ayam rebus anymore. they start realizing drinking soy bean and want to eat more toufu. and Rice taste better than Ubi or mantou hahaha…. so this thing will remain well.
3. Some Pharmaceutical: baby boomers (they who was born between 1940-1950, those baby was initially prepared for war , mother is making more kids because the country need them for world war. By now, they are about 50-60 years old, and they’ll retire soon. they wil need more medication. So with unhealthy diet that they are having now especially in US and europe, they need more medicine. so MORE MONEY for cancer , high cholesterol , etc etc

The rest,… Things will start to sound like this.
there are 3 kinds of major industries. Hulu, hilir and tengah.
a. hulu = perusahaan tambang, seperti BHP, ANTM, Exxon mobil, BP, Pertamina.
b. tengah = perusahaan pembuatan steel, seperti baosteel, buat besi batang lah, besi lempeng lah, besi baja dll
c. Hilir = perusahaan yang add value, car maker, bridge maker, computer casing maker , microwave/electronic maker

Nah, if the customers been hit and cannot pay their mortgage (tagihan utang rumah), start to feel the $4/gallon of oil is expensive, they’ll start reducing their needs. Plus, they see on the news top 5 of US investment firm , 4 goes bankcrupt. Jobless is high, they’ll start thinking, ok dont buy car…. ok dont buy new computer, ok dont buy this and that.
Kena hit the Hilir company (since last year, toyota, honda , GM and Ford has been reporting LOSS), now, rembet ke tengah….. and by next year, the hulu will be fucked too…

Why you didnt hear much in china and indonesia is because, indonesia is mostly perusahaan hulu. and china will feel it soon!, my friend in Gz start mentioning that the business start getting quiet. Stock market crash everywhere, in malaysia my friend said almost nobody on the shopping center.

For the rest… God speed!

Rants of FA Thought

Disclaimer:
Following post can be ‘extremely speculative’ and what my rant thought is not backed up with sufficient or any credible source or form of information.

It is convenient to blame the strengthening of US Dollar since people selling their equity or covering their short sell or liquidating asset to buy US$.
Question is,… American’s citizens keeps spending money like normal, the International trade company in Shandong Province in china I interviewed recently mentioned ‘ Business As Usual’, and they even cannot keep up with the demand lately. The US govt keeps printing the bond and the financial institution is falling like a fragile glass.
With the Approval of more than $700billion dollars to buy the trouble asset backed by the sub prime mortage, there is a likelihood that the asset is ‘over-valued’ to safe the falling value of the illiquid asset.
Where do they get the money from by the way? Again!, debt…. Which they will have to print MORE international bond.

HELLO!!, I thought with the more money a country issues the LOWER THE VALUE!????
Euro VS USD has breached below 1.4, and last night it was at 1.38 USD/Euro from 1.6 in the last 2 months????
Anyone want to try answering this question fundamentally?

Here is the speculation,… whatever they do,… China would more than likely to tell George W Bush, ‘Ai mate, … if you do not happen to know yet, we hold about $1.2trillion USD in your currency bond. That is equal to $1000/Chinese citizen. WE CAN PRACTICALLY FEED THE ENTIRE NATION FOR 2 YEARS ON THE BACK OF THE BOND ALONE! WITHOUT HAVING TO DO ANYTHING!
And FYI (for your informazione), your money has lost value with RenMinBi or Yuan more than 20% in the last 2 years. If you are offering 5% interest on it (which u kept cutting it down now BTW!!) , what is the point of me getting an interest of 10% in 2 years and losing 20% in value?
And with you printing this money again, keep lowering your interest rate, the value will keep getting lower! And come on,… I understand that you do help maintaining the appetite to buy our product, but this is a NO BRAIN.

So, may I speculate on the back of this? , ‘the value of USD is increasing lately in order to encourage the creditor country to allow US Govt to build a demand appetite for their ‘brand new’ shiny bond.’
So this is the speculation and (DISCLAIMER ON), ‘any country that can possible purchase that shiny new $700billion bail out bond, will see USD against it to increase in value’

A trade that I missed

 

I really regretted I did not notice this graph before. But there is no point of it.

Time to analyze it on the reason why I’d purchase the stock/ option of the stock if i’d have seen it

FMG (Fortescue Metal group), an Iron ore mining company that would rival RIO Tinto and BHP in Australia. BUY 18th Sept 2008

1.The trading volume has steadily increasing for the last 5 trading days.
2. On 16th Sept, there is a ‘false’ hammer candle stick on rising volume (slow) and on 18th the hammer reversal showing a significant change in volume increase despite a very bad day from US Market.
3. Watch stochastic from 11 and 17th of September. WHILE THE PRICE IS MAKING A LOWER LOW, THE STO INDICATOR IS MAKING A HIGHER LOW.
4. on 18th , while the price is suffering (hammer reversal), the STO is INCREASING!!!
5. Should purchase a little ,and if it is an up day the next day, BUY MORE

Does Technical Analysis work in Small Stock Exchange?

Some of my friends and family members is trading in JSX (indonesia stock exchange), KLSE and Shanghai stock exchange.

The most prominent and often question that is raised is that, since the market capitalisation is small and there are a lot of amateurs, the ‘market movers’ is often a big fund or the so called ‘Boss’. The title is often referred to someone/ an institution that has access to insider information, trying to manipulate the ’small fish’ psychology and drive them into taking a huge lost. 

Normally in these markets, the market regulator is weak and HELPLESS

the ‘boss’ is said is so powerful that it can ‘create’ and close the market and produce such a graph so tricky for any TA analyst. Dont ge me wrong…. I have seen such a graph that 90% of my indicator strongly suggesting a buy and without any news or anything, it just simply flunk 10% the next day!

So the question is,…… 

WHAT IS THE POINT OF TA IF THE GRAPH CAN BE MANIPULATED?

here is a quote I found in trendtrader.co.cc

Being wrong is acceptable. But staying wrong is totally unacceptable. Being wrong isn’t a choice, but staying wrong is. To play any game successfully, you have to have some skill, an edge, but beyond that it is money management. Good traders manage the downside; they don’t worry the upside. - MARK MINNERVINI

Should answer one question at a time =)
