Record

Record Number of Police on streets,
Making Record Number of Arrests!

Record High Number of Countries,
Attending the Climate Change Conference.
With Record Low Number of Countries,
Making a Non-Binding Accord.

Climate Change,
Nothing Change.
Another Chance for Politicians.......
To have Free Travel, Free Accommodation.....
And Free Lunch!

Even Parents & Children,
Husbands & Wives,
From the Same Family,
Have arguments about......
Money!

How could the Narrow-Minded Politicians,
Coming from 193 Different countries avoid Arguing?

Money,
Now every country wants it so Badly!

When US$12 Trillions have already been spent,
Trying to contain the WWIII!
The Record Governments Rescue Packages!

When US had to change the law,
Not once but already Twice,
To raise its National Debt Limit to...
Yes, to US$12 Trillions!
The Biggest on Record.

When Wall St had its Worst 10 years on Record,
Ever since the Record started 200 years ago.
-0.5% return between 1999 & 2009,
Even Worse than the -0.3% return between 1929-1939!!

When 1 in 4 US Homes are now in "Negative Equity"
When over 14,000,000 US people are out of job,
When about 6,000,000 being unemployed over 6 months!

What do all these Records mean?

There will be.....

Lots of Big Problems ahead.

But, then again,
Let me put this on Record,

"Big Problems could also mean Big Profits - to some"

Conspiracy

There are always Conspiracies around.
Ever since Humans are around.

The Old Conspiracy.
"New Computers do NOT last longer than 3 years"
Because not only it's pre-installed with Operating System,
But also "Timed Virus"?

The Classical Conspiracy.
"Governments do NOT provide Good Education"
Because not only officials do NOT want to be Under Scrutinised,
But also "No Brainy" are easy to Control or Manipulated?

The Latest Conspiracy.
"US is to use Whatever Means to maintain its No.1 Status."
Because not only it's Hijacked Governments holding its Bonds,
But also it now wants More Say even it has Less Influence.

Will the US go as far as starting a War to maintain its No.1?
A War with Iran, North Korea.......?
A Trade War with China?
A Currency War with...every country?

Which's the US No.1 Target?

Do you NOT know?

Did I NOT tell you the NEXT Crash could start in China?

Forbes just listed out 7 Bubbles (NOT Wonders!)in the world.
3 of them are linked to China.

Who's going to make the Bubbles Burst?

Who's going to Suffer?

Did I NOT warn you all that it'd happen?

Did I NOT say it's NO longer about companies...

Iceland.
Becoming Noman's Land.

Dubai.
Kissing Boom Goodbye.

Greece.
Falling from Grace.

Spain.
Now is also in Pain.

Which is Next?

Ireland?
Another Iceland?

Italy?

UK?
Not gonna to be O.K.
That's why I've been busy.
Trying to take advantage of its currency.

USA?
1/4 of states need more Federal Aid.
Some people now doing jobs without being "Paid".
Not being paid by Cash, but Points instead.
Earning Points after selling/servicing others.
Paying Points when getting service/buying from others.

Not just Not Much Money for now.
But soon be Not Much Faith for Money from now?

It's now a Whole New Ball Game.

We're now entering a New Era.

3

Chinese always Love the word, "3".

Using it to explain the Nature.
3 Things,
Heaven, Earth & Humans.

Using it to describe the Bad.
Triad,
The Notorious Gangs.

Claiming that everyone's Future is determined,
When they reach the age of 3!

Loving it for its meanings,
"Lively", "Energetic".

The word can also be used to describe the current WWIII.

3 days ago,
Australia made an Unprecedented Move.
Raising interest rate 3 times in a row!

About 3 years ago,
America's Unprecedented Collapse in Property Market started,
Raising everyone's blood pressure 3 times higher!

Within the last 3 months,
3 Unprecedented Events also happened in America.
Raising serious doubt about the Recovery.

1st event.
A Lady used to use her home to home the Homeless,
Finally became Homeless herself.
After being behind her mortgage payment.

2nd event.
A drop in Home Burglary cases.
Because.........
So many are out of job & they all stay at home!!

3rd event.
1 in 7 homeowners are now behind their mortgage payments.
The Highest Ever since the record began in the 70s!
Not just the Sub-prime but also the Prime Mortgage in trouble!

If you'd survived the 1st Shock,
Took place in August 07 when the current WWIII began;

If you'd survived the 2nd Shock,
Took place in September 08 when the Lehman Bankrupted;

I hope you're to have the 3rd time Lucky!

Because I suspect another major event is to take place.

When?

Around......3 month time?

Dubai.......Goodbye

Dubai.

Once with all this building going on & on.
With over 1/4 of world's cranes all came along!

Once aiming to be the "Switzerland in Middle East",
A World Class Financial Centre for the Oily Rich!

Once aiming to be the "London in Middle East",
A World Class Shopping Centre for the Oily Rich!

But since Late 2008,
Losses beginning to look big.
Things deteriorating really quick.

Thousands of cars,
Abandoned by foreign workers.

Thousands of houses,
Dropped by Half!

Biggest Mortgage Providers,
Being Taken Over!

The "Sudden" reality check on Dubai,
Waking up everyone the Worst has NOT said "Goodbye."

Have I NOT warned you before?
The Worst has YET to come.

Have I NOT warned you all before?
It's no longer about firms but Countries.
One after one.

See how Japanese Yen has jumped - a 14-Year High!
See how some CDS Premiums jumped so High!

This is only the "Starter".
Wait until the "Main Course".
Which is soon to arrive, of course.

But,
For the time being,
Say "Goodbye" to Dubai.

It has become........




The "Iceland in Middle East".

7 Wonders

7 Wonders.

My boys read a book, "7 Natural Wonders", sometime ago.
Amused by the Beauty of the Nature.

There are also "7 Wonders" about the current WWIII.

Many have suffered Huge Loss during the last 2 years.
Gutted by the Greediness of the "Criminals"/Crocodiles.

Wondering,

What went Wrong?

Why it could not be Prevented?

What were/are the Consequences?

Who should be held Responsible?

When will the WWIII come to an End?

What is to happen Next?

How one is to Benefit from it?

Some answers are provided by the...

Yes, another great documentary on ABC Channel.

Part 1 was "Who Killed the Economy?"

Part 2 was "Nowhere to Hide"

And tonight, Part 3 & the Final Part,

"Peak Everything"

I learnt from the first two parts, amongst other things, that

55 Trillions has so far been wiped out during the current WWIII.
= USA+ EC+ China+ Brazil+ Russia STOPS for whole year!

The 1-hour Meeting held on 28.4.04 had planted the seed of WWIII.

And ...........

Seeing is Believing.

The documentary is called,

What else but,

"Addicted to Money"

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/geo/documentaries/interactive/addictedtomoney/

If you cannot view it on the ABC Channel, there is an alternative.

And if you cannot figure out the alternative,
How are you going to figure out the "Winning Formula"?

Learn from the Past, Gain in the Future

The Bull.........has returned?

An "Expert" appearing on OZ TV yesterday afternoon.

Reporting that Wall St had two big rise in 2 days.
Reaching a 17-month High.

Also commenting on some've said the Bull has returned.
Few even suggesting the Bull has NEVER gone in the 1st place!

Has the Bull actually returned?

Yes, I believe but with one All that Important Missing Word.
Do Excuse Me, Ladies & Gentlemen,
The whole statement should be,

"The Bull S??? has returned!"

But what about the recent quaretly rise in US GDP?

With Unprecented US$787 Billion being pumped into the Economy.
Does everyone really expecting another -ve growth?
The extra Money was meant to creat about 650,000 NEW jobs.
In reality, half of them were actually "Jobs Retained"
About 320,000 teachers keep their jobs.

But what about the recent rise in Spending?

With US$8,000 Home Buyer Grant & US$7,000 New Car Grant.
People had to spend at the time!
Car sale dropped dramtically after the Grant expired.

But what about the Governments' claim, "They'd seen the Worst"?

Really?
G20 just agreed NOT to end Stimulus Plan too soon!
And there are Eastern Countries lining up to go....bankrupt!

Do you know 1/4 of US States's Unemployment Rate > 10%?
Some are over 13%, some are over 15%.
The more commonly used one actually showing it is 17.5%!

A once very famous Share Inside Trader,
Nicknamed "Golden Hand" for Great Share Price Manipulation,
Now a Legislator in HK, representing the Finance Profession,
Recently, Openly & Expectedly saying,

"Shares are Scam.
It's either you cheat someone;
Or someone cheat you!"

So, you should know now why some keep saying,
"The Worst is Over"

Believe it?
You're Game Over.

The Bull (Missing Word) has indeed returned.

The Come Back

UK.
Once being teased as USA's 51st state!
For it often follows the lead of USA.

It's as Badly effected as USA in the current WWIII.
But even now USA has recorded 1st GDP growth.
Japan & Germany also have + growth rate.

UK still in its Longest & Deepest Recession since Great Depression.
And this attracts lots of Attention.

Several friends of mine have already relocated to UK.
More are planning to do the same.
Some consider sending their children for education.
Few even think about buying bargained accommodation!

All taking advantage of its Weak currency.
Lower house price.
And Better education reputation.

And I do feel UK has been a Victim of......
Its Honesty.

Unlike USA, Japan & Germany, UK has been Honest.
It has NOT playing tricks with figures.

Even the Preferred Party admits it's going to raise tax.
A new tax band of 50%!
And Cutting the Huge Expense!

For the last few years,
UK has been changing for Better.

Like Raising Minimum School Leaving Age from 16 to 18.

Like Sponsoring 450 students a year to live in Brazil, India & China,
For 3 weeks, experiencing a New Language, New Culture.

Like Insisting Benefit Receiving Parents to return to work ,
Once their child reaches the age of 10.

UK is finally waking up & catching up.
It has to Change and Change Fast.

But of course, things will get worse first.
All these Postal Worker, Railway Worker, Fireman Strikes.....

Then again,
UK is an Excellent Brand.

Tea? Twinings?

Scarf? Burberry?

Shopping? Harrods?

Food? M & S?

Education? Oxbridge?

Spy? 007?

Humour? Of course, the British!

Have you not noticed the Newest Billionaire always wants to buy.....
A British Soccer Club?

Go, Manchester U.
Go, Arsenal.
Go, Chelsea.
And of course, go Liverpool!

UK, Never Ever Underestimate it.
I'm keeping a closer eye on it.

My Next Move is very very likely to be....
UK related.

HSBC?

Greater London Property?

Sterling Pound the Currency?

Well, just wait & see.

The Rise & the Fall

China is no doubt the Biggest Winner in the current WWIII.

But all eyes are also on the Spectacular Rise of....

Australia.

Australia has made a Grand Entry at the world stage.

The Only developed country that does NOT have a Recession.
And now the 1st developed country to raise interest rate.

Jumping from 11th to 2nd in the World Financial Centre Ranking,
Pushing US down to the 3rd!

http://www.weforum.org/en/media/Latest%20Press%20Releases/PR_FDR09

Its ANU is ranked 17th in the World University Ranking,
(ALL the first 16 are either n US or UK)
And HALF of the OZ Universities are in the Top 400,
Better than any other countries, including US & UK!

http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/Rankings2009-Top200.html

A recent newspaper article reporting,
OZ is ranked 2nd in Asia Pacific Region to have the Most Millionaires,
Having US$1 Million Cash to invest.
Just behind Japan but beating China.
Even though OZ has only 1.6% of the Chinese Population!

It's one of the ONLY two countries ordered Swine Flu Vaccine for everyone,
The whole of its 21 Million Population!
And the vaccination started in late September.
When US has problem in first getting then vaccinating its 3% Population!

Not to mention it does not have the 2-digit fall in property price,
Being witnessed in US & UK over a 2-year period!

It is obvious that OZ is on the Rise.
So is its currency!

If one believes China has saved the world from Deeper Recession,
And China is to Expand again with high growth rate,
Then OZ is to rise further.

Because China has been buying all these minerals from OZ.
And OZ is the Most Popular Emigration Destination for the Chinese.

Still wonder why A$ keeps rising and rising?

There is a REAL Demand - in addition to Speculative Activity!

Next time, let's look at the Fall,

UK.

Bubbles

I love Bubble Bath.
It makes you feel so Relax.

But I'm concerned about the Bubbles in Investment.
It makes many feel so Confused.

Is the Crash Coming?
If so, When?
How Big will it be?
How Long should I wait?

I believe the Crash is coming.
Ever since April 2007.
When I saw these Madness in HK & Chinese Markets.

Now, there's even More Madness.
When those made Big Money before,
When those lost Big Money before,
ALL coming to the Booming HK & Chinese Markets,
ALL rushing, trying to.... make Big AND Quick Money!

Think.
If Interest Rate is So Low,
In So Many Countries,
For So Long,
Why the Share Markets are NOT at their Historical Height?
Wall St still 40% Down from its Height in Nov 07.
HK still 30% Down from its Height in Oct 07.

Act.
Act Now.
Cashing in.
BEFORE the 2nd Wave (They Call it)
BEFORE the Battle 5 (I see it)
Comes to knock you down!

China CANNOT save the World.
In fact, I believe, like I did back in April 07,
The Bubble is about to be Burst in China,
Triggering Off the Crash.
The Very Big One I've been Expecting.

Bigger than the last one!

Another Billionaire's Attitude

I'd NOT met him until April 08.
Although one of his daughters was my Elder Boy's classmate;
Although he's the Chairperson of my Boys' school Board;
Although he's one of the Richest & Most Powerful Men in the City.

Our path only & finally crossed because of his Rental Manager.
Renting me a flat without advising me it was flooded Twice.
So, on returning home from an overseas trip in Feb 08,
We found our flat flooded & damaged.

The Agency sent in 3 Managers, trying to deny Responsibility.
I took the Agency to Small Claim Tribunal & Won.
I then donated the A$256 Compensation to the school,
PLUS Another A$256 from my own pocket to the school!!

We eventually met.
He shook my hands,
Advising me the Rental Manage was fired (though for another reason)
And we started having lunch/gathering once a month.

He's impressed me in 4 areas.

So Humorous.
We always share something funny to release the Stress of Life.
Even though he always has a Serious Look on his face!

So Humble.
He often seeks my views on how to improve the school further.
Even though he has an Australian Medal Winner(Education Services)
As his Right-Hand Man!

So Punctual.
He always arrives our monthly meeting place earlier than I!
Even though I was on time!!

And above all,
So Focused.
Never let the Past to stand in the way.
Even though we did not have the Perfect Start.

So, before anyone complaining about Life,
Their Talents NOT being Recognised,
Their Efforts NOT being Appreciated,
Their Investment NOT .......

Just stop & think for a minute.
Have they got what it takes?
Have they got the Right Attitudes?

The Billionaire's Attitude.
He ONLY has A$500 Million - Minimum!

Money,
And in fact,
Any Opportunity,
Only comes for those Deserve it.

Back On Track

If you have NOT owned a piece of Australia,
Like I've always been suggesting in this Blog,
You may have already missed out.
(Because it could be the time to Sell NOT Buy)

Australia just raised its interest rate.
The 1st in the G20.
Which has pushed A$ Higher.

And also the Gold Price and other share markets Higher.
Because many see this move as the world economy is, finally,
"Back On Track - to Recovery"

Yes, I do agree the world economy is,
"Back On Track"

But only,
"Back On Track........to another Meltdown.
"To Battle 5!"

Japan,
the World's 2nd Largest economy,
has experienced 3 Recessions within the last 10 years.
And yet nothing like this time.

Many Japanese now buy Wal-Mart goods rather than "Brands"
Even though they're known to be addicted to "Brands".
And the well respected Italian "Brand", Versace,
Which has been in Japan for over 30 years,
Plans to close its 3 directly owned shops.

IMF,
Keeps stating that Governments should not Retreat too soon.
Has warned although US$1.3 Trillion has so far been written off,
There should be another US$1.5 Trillion to be written off!

World Bank,
Has already spent US$45 Billions in rescuing some poorer countries,
Has warned that its money could be dried up in about 6 months.
There're just too many countries in troubles!

The US,
Where the current WWIII started,
Things are looking even Worse.

The Vacancy in Residential Housing has risen to 7.8%
The Highest in 23 years!

And the Commercial Buildings?
Well, has risen to 16.5%
The Worst in 5 years!

So, do you really think,
We're "Back On Track for Recovery"?

Please, please stop......Kidding Me!

Global

More small investors are pouring their money into Forex.
Betting that US$ would Depreciate More.
I saw a report recently stating this.
I had to confess I was one of them.

Putting money into where my mouth was.
I made a small bet by buying Japanese Yen on 4 August.
Just to test the water.
Aiming to make a 5% Profit within 8 weeks.

JPY did Appreciate against US$ & HK$.

But the problem is,
I bought it with my NZ$.
With NZ$50,000.
And NZ$ has been rising against Japanese Yen.

I bought when NZ$ 1= JPY 63.24.
Now, it's NZ$1 = JPY 64.97

http://www.hsbcnet.com/treasury/market-data

So, I'm now suffering a Paper Loss of about 2.7%!

But then again, I just figured out one very important point.
Only A$ & NZ$(of 4 currencies I monitor)have been appreciating against JPY.

What about the Sterling Pounds?

What was the exchange rate on 4 August?

http://www.oanda.com/convert/fxhistory

It was 1 Sterling Pound = JPY 159.6980
And it is now 1 Sterling Pound = JPY 143.7950

So an initial Paper Loss of about 2.7% has now been turned into.....
A Paper Profit of about 10%!!!

And I do need More Sterling Pounds for....
Could I have a Little Secret for the time being.

When buying JPY on 4 August, I aimed for a 5% Profit.
Then, I found I'd a 2.7% Paper Loss.
And now, I find I've a 10% paper Profit.

Amusing how thing could be turned around without me doing anything!

This's why I've been Stressing the importance of having a...
Global Vision.

Never restrict your investment opportunity,
To One Investment Tool,
To One Country.

Because Opportunity is here Everyday, Everywhere.

Missed that.
The LAST one was my 101th post.

I remember I once saw a TV drama series in HK.
It was called "101 Arresting Power"
Yes, there's a Section in a particular Ordinance,
Section 101, empowering a Citizen to make a "Citizen Arrest."

Now many Citizens around the world are......
Not making Arrest But Very Unrest!
Very Upset!

They see their Life Time Saving being Wasted by their governments;
They see their Current Wages being Squeezed by their governments;
They see their Retirement Age being Extended by their governments;
All in the name of Saving the Economy!

Tell the US people marching on streets,
Protesting against the Health Reform Bill;
Tell the UK Postal Workers, Railway Workers & Fireman,
Striking for Low Pay.
"What's Good for the Economy is Good for them."

The Social Unrest has put governments under Stress.
And for sometime.

The Consequences?
Look what had happened during the Great Depression.

Unification

I saw a few science documentaries lately.

Learnt that Eisenstein had spent his last 20+ years,
Trying to find the Unification.
To find that "One Theory Explains All Theories".
Which is of course expressed in a Mathematical Formula.

I believe that in most cases,
"If you cannot quantity a problem,
you cannot solve a problem."

Are we NOT taking this Mathematical Approach in everyday life?

Physically Unwell?
All right, take Tablet A - 2 at a time, 4 times a day.

Mentally Unwell?
O.K. See a Psychologist B - 2 times a week for 4 weeks.

Marriage Unhappy?
No problem. Watch Movie X - 3 times a week for 4 weeks!

Sales Unimpressive?
Cut Pirce by 15%. And Buy 4 get 1 Free!

What about for Investment?
Is there a "Must Win" Formula?

I'll be trying to figure it out within the next 3 months.
Just in time to take advantage of the coming Battle 5?
Just in time to finish my book?

I'll be Happy with the "Most Likely Win" Formula.

After all, nothing is 100% Sure in Life.

Over the years, last week, next 6 months......
It is how much you STILL have that really matters.
Still have when you're at the age of 50.

"1st 25-year, Learn as much as one can.
2nd 25-year, Work as much as one can.

Battle 5

They call it "Credit Crunch" or "Financial Tsunami".
I call it "WWIII".

They call it the "Second Wave",
I call it "Battle 5"

Battle 1 - August 2007.
Two Bear Stearns' funds in Trouble.
WWIII begun.

Battle 2 - March 2008.
Bear Stearns Collapsed.

Battle 3 - September 2008.
Lehman Collapsed.

Battle 4 - March 2009.
Confidence Collapsed.

Battler 5 - ALREADY..... Quietly.......started!
Have you NOT noticed?!

Remember the MRF?
The Most Relevant Factor - the Unemployment Rate?
Did I not say it would jump by 100%?
USA's just hit 9.7%!!
(The TRUE figure is much much Higher)

Since the current USA Recession started in Dec 2007,
There have been about 7 Million EXTRA workers being laid off.
1.3 Million of them can NO LONGER claim the Unemployment Benefit,
By the end of this year - they've already used up their Life Time entitlement!

Remember the Sub Prime?
They account for a smaller share of the Total residential mortgage market,
But already causing Massive problems everywhere!
Now the bigger share, the Prime Mortgage, is also Melting!
So is the Commercial Property market, the Credit Card etc.
Bubbles everywhere!

Remember the Troubled Banking Sector in US?
So far, 89 banks have collapsed, 44 of them within the last 3 months!
Including the largest bank in two of it states!
They're also the 6th & 11th largest bank in US history!
And there are over 415 US banks are now in "Serious Trouble".

Remember the Governments Stimulus Plans?
All governments are now in Serious Trouble.
Since the Battle 1, they've spent a total of about US$12 Trillions!
That's 20% of the World's Total Output!

US just released the latest Household Income figure.
The Median Income in 2008 dropped by 3.6% to about US$50,000.
The Biggest drop in the office's 61-year history!
And the "Poor to Rich" ratio has risen from 12.55 to 13.2%.
The Highest since 1997!
= The wealth accumulated for the last 12 years had ALL been wiped off in a year!

And....

Enough is enough.
Enough for Talking.

Have you been Planning and Acting?

I've.
Putting my Australian House for sale.

http://www.owner.com.au/phototour/listing_phototour.cfm?listingid=44617
(Less than HK$1,500 per square feet)

Not because I do NOT think the house price will rise greatly in 10 years.
But because I believe I could have a Better Return in a Shorter Time Frame.
With the Same amount of Cash.

Now, Count Down for the Show Time.

Cairns

Cairns.

A Beautiful Place.

Was there 14 years ago.
When we're not parents.
It was Booming then.

Now, it's very Worrying.

We're at the Great Barrier Reef (www.bigcat-cruises.com.au)
At least Half of the boat seats were Empty!
According to its on board staff, tourists used to be queuing up at the pier!

We're at the Wildlife Safari (www.cairnswildlifesafari.com.au)
There're Only two families (a total of six people watching the Lion Feed!)
There was NO one in the canteen!
According to its canteen staff, it was so quiet she had cleaned all the 10 windows!
Both Sides!
So quiet that she had even washed the floor of the canteen .....AND toilets!

We're at the Hartley's Crocodile Farms (www.crocodileadventures.com)
According to its canteen staff, she had not been so busy for the last 3 weeks.
Even though there were only about 200 tourists visiting.
When at the peak of holiday period, there should be 700 of them!

We're at the GoKartAction (www.makotrac.com)which opens at 1000 hrs daily.
We arrived there at 1130 hrs.
And we're the ONLY tourists in sight upon arrival.

Even being the Only developed country has "technically" avoided a Recession,
Australia is still being hit Hard.

Even though the commodities prices are Rising,
Even though the A$ is hitting a 1-year High,
Even though the house price is Rebouncing,
Australia, like the rest of the World, has yet to experience the Worst.

So, have to be prepared for it.
Have to sell my house first.
Allowing me to have More Cash in hand,
To profit More from the once in a Century Opportunity!

The Most Reputable Hotel Brand.
Thanks to my Service Requesters.

It's NOT the Seaview.
It's NOT the Convenience.
It's NOT the Facilities that has surprised me.

But the People.

In particular, a member of its staff that I've Never met.

2 days ago,
My rented car was Unlawfully ticketed when there was over 1 hour on the meter!
This man, happened to be passing by, agreed to be my independent witness,
Confirming the ticket should have NEVER been issued.

And giving me his name, his firm's name & his home telephone number.

He even reminded me to take a photo of the meter,
And showed me the route to the Council Office to make a complaint!

A Good Man.
A 5-Star Man.
A Man that I finally tracked down & shaked his hands earlier today.
And was given a small token of my appreciation.

But in Life, NOT everyone is a 5-Star person.
So why everyone is expecting a 5-Star Return on their Investment?

Have you been showing a 5-Star Kindness lately?
Have you been displaying a 5-Star Helpfulness lately?

Above all, have you been demonstrating a 5-Star Patience lately?

Record

Monday.

The Hottest Day in Winter in Australia.
A 130-year+ Record.
35 Degree in some parts.
(Remember, we're still in Winter!)

The Week before.

The Biggest Deal between China & Australia.
A$50 Billion.
The Biggest Single Transaction ever on Record.
(This's ONLY the Beginning!)

And....

Australia is the ONLY Developed Country on Record that is....
NOT in Recession!

And there's Rumour,
Saying that it'll be the 1st country to raise interest rate.
As soon as this Dec!

So, you still NOT have a "Piece" of Australia?

Just look at its Exchange Rate recently.
Look at the Gold Price recently.

Chicago

Chicago.

I remember it.

NOT the movie.
But the Great Song from the Great Band, Chicago.
"If You Leave Me Now"

A Great Romantic Song that......kills!

So when hearing the broadcaster saying, "Chicago" a few days ago,
I immediately starred at the news on TV.

Seeing a person trying to open a library door in Chicago.
But she couldn't.
The door was locked.
With a notice on it.

Then the broadcaster stated,
"Chicago City has today closed ALL public services......
All public servants are given a day off to stay at home...
To reduce the Cost....
As Chicago City aims to cut its A$400 Million Deficit...
2/3 of ALL US Cities also consider taking Similar Move....."

This is NOT Romantic at all!

Only Problematic!

Major Cities, Major Countries are having Massive Problems now.
Because they've spent in a Massive Scale, trying to boast the economies.
All now carrying a Massive Debt.
Especially the Easten Europe Block.

Some worrying economists stressed that,
Nothing since WWII, have they seen,
So Many Governments,
Borrowing So Much,
In So Short period of time.

We'll all be in a Shock.
A Bigger Shock.

So, you better sing to your shares,
"I have to leave you now.."

A Billionaire's Attitude

I knew he was rich.
But not aware of him being THAT Rich.

Well, according to the Sunshine Coast Daily (www.thedaily.com.au)as at Aug 2007,
He was the 2nd Richest Man in the Queensland State.
Estimated to have Only......A$555 Million!

He was the Owner of the local firm that built my apartment block.
I was only renting a Penthouse (2-floor) Unit in Minyama back in Oct 2006.

Noting that there was leaking from the rooftop garden, I Emailed him.
To my surprise, he personally called me.

Then more surprise.

He knocked on my unit door at 0900 hrs the following day - as promised!
Accompanied by his Maintanese Supervisor.
After checking everything, he promised the leaking would be fixed.
And it was fixed.

Next time I saw him, it was 0800 hrs, when me leaving the apartment block,
Driving my boys to school!
He stopped to say Hello to me and asked if everything O.K.
Then continued with his checking of the building.

Has anyone wondered why some could NEVER make it?
Even though these "some" wanted to be Rich, to be Successful, to have Big Plans?

Simple.

These "some" does NOT have the Right Attitude.
The Billionaire's Attitude.
The Attitude that has made the Billionaire,

Hardworking.
Responsible.
Humble.
....

And above all,
Enjoying what they're doing,
AND
Having Pride in doing a Good Job!!

Success NEVER comes for those ONLY Talking or Dreaming.
Or those Evading their Responsibility.

Turn Around?

"Turn Around.
Everytime, I......
Turn Around..."

I remember this 80's classic, "Total Eclipse of My Heart".

To some investors, the Title of the song has summed up their feeling.
Total Eclipse.
Lost lot of money.

But to others, they love the lyrics more.
Turn Around.
Is the World Economy finally "Turn Around"?

Well, should be - GM got a US$200 million profit.
But......
But that was after GM had written off US$1 Billion Debt!
It was NOT due to More Profit but Cheating!

Well, should be - share index rising & rising.
But.....
But that was due to Temptation created by "Crocodiles"
The fact is, "Is your cash NOT already being tied up by the 'Bargains'?"

Well, should be - 3 Big US banks paid executives a Bonus of US$18 Billion.
But....
But the Losses for the 3 banks were US$9 Billions!
The fact is they're Ripping Everyone Off!
(GREED!)

Well, should be - China is still having positive growth.
But...
But China's Export is falling.......nine month in a row!!

So, do NOT assume things have been "Turn Around"
Or your "Dead Body" would be "Lying Around"
Stepped over by the Crocodiles "Cheating Around"

UK

UK, what can I say?

My 1st Overseas Experience
My 1st Dating Experience
My 1st Fighting Experience
My 1st Working Experience
My.......

The List went on and on.....
All happened in UK.

I spent a Total of 10 years in UK.
As a Student, as a Husband & as a Father.
And oh, yes, as a Runner.
My wife & I ran away from her family in UK.
Ran to HK!
24 years ago!

Strange enough, I still had some good feelings about UK,
Even though I'd a lot of Tough Times therein.

The once Greatest Empire now seems to be Falling & Falling.
Economically, Politically & Socially.

Strange enough, when I applied for HSBC Premier Account in Nov 08,
It was HSBC UK sent me the Premier Card First, then the HSBC HK.
HSBC AUS was the Last, even though I'm living in Australia!!
Even though the card needed 7 days to arrive OZ from UK!!

HSBC UK even had a Relationship Manager to ring me.
Not once, Not twice, but three times!!
Three Times a Man! (NOT a lady)

UK even giving me a pension (provided that I live till 66!).
Even though I'd worked there for about 3 1/2 years only!

The Strangest thing of all was,
Every time when I rang UK,
Be it Tax office, Bank Office etc.
It was always answered by a REAL Human Voice!
Not all these pre-recorded "robot" voice.

In 2006, UK had revised its Education System,
(Last done was in 1976!)
Raising the Compulsory School Age from 16 to 18.
Some Councils provide FREE school bus for students NOT living walking distance of schools!

So, even though UK Government has so far spent about 1.2 trillion Sterling pounds in rescuing the banks,
Which is over 80% of its GDP.
Even though UK is basically Broke,
I'm still very interested in visiting UK a.s.a.p.

See first hand what opportunities it is now offering.
The Low Property Price, the Low Exchange Rate (rebound a bit lately), the..

And of course, the HSBC particular.
The world's 4th largest bank.
And the First True Big Overseas Bank to be listed in China!!

1 : 99

1 : 99.

It was the recommended ratio to mix bleach & water to kill SARS Virus in 03.

I now use it as a Golden Rule in investment.

It does NOT matter if you've gained 99 times before.
Because it only takes 1 time,ONE Mistake, to wipe out all your Gains.
This has happened Before, is happening Now and will happen Soon.

Just look at the Hot Money flowing into Asia.
Massive $$$ = Massive ^^^ in New Share Listing = 30%, 40% and 80% rise in 1 day!
And the Massive Bubble is to burst in any given day!

Just look at the Margin Trading.
Familiar?
Back in 1929, 90% of Money in share trading was on Margin.

Just look at the Birthplace of the Current WWIII.
Over 16 US states have to borrow from Federal Government to pay "Unemployment Benefit".

The Major Problem with this WWIII is,
Noone knows where the Problems Really Lie.

Because the Problems have been Hidden Away.
Hidden under "Innovative" Accounting Practice.
Away from the Balance Sheet.

ONLY when the Problem Surfaces,
When everything is being blown away,
Only then everyone is afraid!

Bear Sterns. Lehman. AIG...........

Why Risk Losing Everything?

Missed Opportunities

With Great Danger comes the Great Opportunity.

This is STILL True for the current WWIII.
But Only if you're Quick, Brave and Energetic enough.

With the Benefit of Hindsight, I now know that I'd missed some Great Opportunities.
Three to be exact, for the last year.

First, on Currencies.
Should have sold some of my NZ$ at around US$0.82(about HK$6.3) in July 08.
And bought NZ$ back at US$0.56 (about HK$4.5) in Sept 08.
A Good Profit of about 30% in 2-month time.

Second, on Commodities.
Should have bought Gold at US$750 in Nov 08.
And sold it when it hitted US$1,000 in Feb 09.
Again, a Better Profit of about 33% in 3-month time.

Last but not least,on Shares.
Should have bought HSBC at about Sterling Pounds 2.50 (about HK$30) in Mar 09.
And sold it at about Sterling Pound 5.00 (about HK$60) in June 09.
An Amusing 100% Profit in 3-month time.

Do I regret?






No.



For two reasons.

First, I still have the CASH in hand.
As long as one has the Money, everyday, everywhere, there is Opportunity.

Second?

Wait a second..........
It's 2323 hrs now in Queensland, Australia.

Tell you NEXT time.

Because it's Time to go to Bed.

Goodnight. And have a Great Dream.

2009 = 1929?

Have been extremely busy.
Have to "Home Schooling" my boys for the time being.
Due to the Swine Flu, we're now stuck in Australia rather than visiting HK, UK etc.

Back to the Reality.

The Worst is Over?

Do you believe it?

Have you missed the Signs?
Or you've Chosen to concentrate on the WRONG Signs Presented by the WRONG Persons?

Ask yourself,
"Who've been spreading the above Message?"

The Governments?
The Central Banks?
The so called Financial Experts etc.?

Are they NOT having a Conflict of Interests?
Are they NOT worried More Street Riots, More Firms Collapsed, More People NOT Invest?
They've to say what they HAVE to say.

Look at the Facts yourself, the Economy is actually Worse than you think,

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124753066246235811.html

This Time is Different?

In 1929, when people asked in September,
"Should the share market be Corrected if not Falling?"

Then came the "Good Old Logic",
"This time is Different. We're now a Global Economy.
Share price can rise further."

This Time is different because,

- ALL Governments are working Together(?)& spending Madly to Stimulate economies
(Yes, ONLY to create More& Bigger Problems by keep printing money!)

- We have China and it's still Growing
(Yes, ONLY to see the Next round of Panic probably triggered off by it.
Its share market has risen over 60% just in the first 6 months of 2009.
In 1928, Wall St rose by 50% in a year.
Just look at the current Madness in the share prices of the New Listings in HK.
Familiar?)

- .......................

Common Sense?

If the Worst is Already Over, WHY

- US has More Banks Collapsing (& Growing) This year than Last Year?
(57 so far - twice more than the whole of last year!)

- US had a 9.5% Unemployment Rate (& Rising)in US Last Month?
(9.5% - Almost Twice than 4.9% 15 months ago!)

- Globally,
More & More workers are being asked to take No Paid Leave?
More & More workers are being asked to change to Part time jobs?
More & More Unemployed are being Unemployed for Longer?

- Wall ST had NOT regained 3/4 of the loss within 4 months like it did in 1929?

The Reality?

Have you looked at the Reality lately?
Have you looked around you?

I have.

My two aged 40+, well educated, well experienced, well paid friends just been fired.
More People are Divorcing due to financial stress.
More People are Bankrupting due to financial stress.

The Reality is,

Wall St is still about 40% DOWN from its Peak reached 20 months ago!

And, More Worrying is

Another Wave, a Bigger Wave is coming.

From Commercial Property Market?
Credit Card Loan?
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/16/your-money/credit-and-debit-cards/16credit.html?_r=1&em
Another Excessively Leveraged Product?
.........

From Iran?
North Korea?
............

Due to the Swine Flu?
Assassination of..........
Terrorist Attack in......
...........

Game Over?

Rather than buying the argument of "The Worst is Over",
You're better off by Buying Gold at some stage.
Because the Worse is just around the corner.

If you still think "The Worst is Over"
Then, it's over - for you.

You're Game Over.

Have you NOT noticed we're now moving back to 1929?
ONLY in Slow Motion.

1929 Wall Street Crash

Thanks to those have taken the time & trouble in writing to me.
I'll be Randomly selecting a few to respond in private.

Thanks for sharing with me of your Thoughts.
It's only Fair that I'm now to share with you lot.

A 1-hour TV documentary that I've recently seen.
Produced by BBC (UK) & broadcasted by SBS (Australia, www.sbs.com.au)
And it's called,

"1929 Wall Street Crash"

Counting down the Six Days in Oct 1929 (23-28 Oct) leading to the Crash on the 29th.

But, the programme started with 10 years before the Crash, back in 1919.

When the USA came out as the Biggest Winner from the WWI.
When the USA had the Biggest Number of Women entering Universities.
When the USA had the Biggest Number of Women became Independent of their Finance.

When the Americans had got used to buying Bonds.
(Government using it to raise money to fund the War)

When the Americans had enjoyed a new wave of inventions, radio, car.....

When the Americans had started to buy things on Credit.
(The Mentality of "Get Now, Pay Later")


5 Years before the 1929 Crash the Wall St was rising and rising.
In 2008 alone, the market rose by 50% within a year.
In 1929, the newly sworn in US President was Unease about the Wall St.
He had asked some Powerful Market Insiders if he should be concerned.

All except one replied, "There is NOTHING to be concerned."
Paul Warburg was the exception.
He actually wrote, warning "A Crash is coming".
Even mentioning the word "Depression" in his letter but he's not listened.
Paul gave the Warning in March - 7 months BEFORE the Crash!

In September 1929, a Very Smart Market Insider also felt Unease.
One day, a shoe-polishing boy recommending him to buy shares.
He immediately returned to his office and sold all his shares.

Sold All before the Crash in October.
And do you know who he was?










The Legendary Joe Kennedy.

The father of the Assassinated US President, John Kennedy.

(Wed) 23 Oct 1929. Market dropped for no reason. People started Panicking.

(Thurs) 24 Oct 1929. Market dropped Sharply.

The Famous Four sat down together, came up with a plan & US$250 Million.
They're the two Co Presidents of JP Morgan, the Deputy Chairman of NY Stock Exchange and a Famous Banker.
They'd ONLY one Goal - Stabilising the Market.

One of the Four went onto the trading floor of NY Stock Exchange.
He purposely buying shares at a Premium.
Showing off his Confidence in the Market.
Desperately trying to convince others.
And it worked.

But only worked for one or two days.

(Mon) 28 Oct 1929. Shares dropped again. Market Panicking again.
(Tue) 29 Oct 1929. The Black Tuesday. Wall St dropped by 25% within 2 days.

Wall St finally bottomed out in July 1932.
A 89% drop from its peak.
1 in 4 in the USA was Unemployed.
3,000 banks gone.

80 years gone, what have we learnt?

Have you NOT noticed?
Have you NOT got the Instinct?

Look around you and see for yourself what was happening THEN is happening NOW.
And what is happening this time is Worse than last time.

Share more Next Time.

50 - a Magical Number.

UK's is shrinking at the Fastest rate in 50 years.
Australia 's interest rate is at the Lowest in almost 50 years.
Michale Jackson died at the age of 50.

50, is also a Special Number to all HK people.
"Existing Lifestyle is Guaranteed for 50 years" (from 97)

I once read an article reporting,
"There is a 50% chance that Sterling Pounds could rise."

Amusing, isn't it?
At least, he'd a 50% of getting it Right!!

I also once read that,
"From the age of 50, one could accept whatever the Fate/Destiny/God has arranged."

(Meaning one can NO Longer change anything by Themselves)

If you'd like to be semi-retired by the age of 50, you'd be well prepared.
Well prepared for the coming 5 months.

Australia

I'd stated it several months ago.

And it is now official,

"Australia is much better place than any other developed country in the current global crisis."

The IMF just confirmed this - what I've been believing even before the Credit Crunch.
So did the OECD.

Australia's 1st quarter GDP has shown a Growth of 0.3%.
NOT another Negative quarter, so Australia is "Technically" NOT in Recession.

In fact, Australia is much much better than its Major Trading Partners.
USA, Japan, UK, Euro Zone etc. are all in Recession.
Recovery is nowhere in sight for these countries.

And the "Brother Country", NZ, is the Worst Hit.
With Negative Growth for 5 Consecutive quarters.
That is, since the 1st quarter of 2008!

But of course, thanks to China, Australia weathers the current crisis better.
Because the latest growth for China is above 7% (So is India).

What does this mean to the investors?

Just look at the A$.
Steadily climbing back to about US$80 cents, over HK$6.

Just look at the Gold Price.
Australia is the 4th largest gold supplier.

Just look at the Mining Share Prices.
China is buying and buying the resources sector.
Recently bought the OZ Minerals.
Trying to buy more of Rio Tino.
Eye on BHP.

The World Economy WILL recover.
Though noone knows how long one has to wait.
Do you wait until everyone sees it?

Have you set your Target Price?
Not just the Buying.
But also the Selling.
And the Time Frame?

Benefit from it by Owning a piece of it.

The Day After

Everyone has a Dream.

Some want to be Healthy.
Some want to be Happy.
Many want to be Wealthy.

Assuming those want money has indeed made it.
Got their first bucket of gold.
So, what's next?

What's to happen The Day After the Big Gain?

Two sisters in NZ, after wining the Biggest Lotto in NZ, appearing on TV saying,
"We'll go back to work as normal tomorrow."
Even though they've just won NZ$50 Million!

And in less than 45 minutes, Australia is to have its Biggest Lotto Winner,
A$90 Million.

I've bought a ticket.
Because I know,

"Buying a ticket does NOT mean I'll Definitely Win;
But NOT buying one means I'll Definitely Lose!"

I take my chances with................1 ticket.

Because this could also be the ticket to realise my Dreams.
I only have a few of them!

One of which is to establish a small co-educational school.
With only 2 classes in every Grade/Year.
And about 18 students in each class, with half boys and half girls.
And only learning in the morning...........

Master

Masterchef, the Popular TV programme
(www.masterchef.com.au)

My Boys love watching it.
So does my wife.
I watch it too - only if I've washed the dishes in time!

And for the last few days, the candidates were competing each other in......



Hong Kong!

While staying at the Luxury Langham Hotel.

Candidates were reminded their dishes must have the Oriental Touch.
This has reminded me a candidate who was Eliminated just before this HK Challenge.

Her name was Poh and she's a Chinese.
She & another candidate were facing a "Pressure Test".
Each was asked, in turn, what the 20 ingredients were in a dish.
The moment one gave the wrong answer, the moment they're Eliminated.

With only 4-5 ingredients left to be named, Poh made a Fatal Mistake.
She was Over-confident.
So,instead of naming the obvious ingredients, she tried a harder one........
And she got it Wrong!
Even though she named, after being Eliminated, all the remaining ones Correct.

Another candidate, Justine, had never been required to attend a "Pressure Test".
But, she had faced her first one during the HK Super Challenge.
She kept telling the Judges that Asian Food was her Weakest Point.

The other candidate needed to attend the "Pressure Test" as Justine was concentrated.
Completely concentrated in tasting the dish she had to cook.

Unlike Justine, she had tasted the Duck, the Hoi Fung, the Vegetable, the Sauce etc.
Essentially, every single ingredient in the dish.
In the end, she'd won and Justine was Eliminated.
And what did Justine say to the Judges?

Again, she was not particular good at making the Asian Food!

In Life, there are always Winners and Losers.
And there are Always More Losers than Winners.

Because NOT everyone understands the Vital Importance of,
- Being Confident but NOT Over-confident; and
- Find Own Weakness and Improve if NOT Eliminate the Weakness.

And In Investment, one will be Punished Heavily for failing to understand the above.

Had Poh been More Humble......
Had Justine been More Prepared to Improve........

Do NOT Blame anyone.

As Expected

Finished watching the "Million Dollar Traders".

Things happened as Expected during the 2nd and the last episode.

The Eldest candidate was called into the Boss room.
He was quick to act, telling the Boss the trading experience had been very Stressful.
In fact, the last time he was so Stressful was when him having a Divorce!
So, he stated Himself that's the end of his day and it's time to go home.

He was Least Flexible, Least Humble and therefore was First to go as I Expected.
But at least he'd made a Smart Move at last,
"Firing Himself BEFORE being Fired!"

The Once Most Promising candidate had become the Most Distracting.
She was finally being asked to leave.
She cried as usual - though there was an Unusual Move later on.

3 other candidates leaving in support of her being Fired!

But then again, two of these three supportive male team members were Losing Money.
And were Pressurised to Perform Better.
And the third?
He actually liked the girl!

So, they're leaving as I Expected.
Because Money Losers and Lover needed to find an "Honourable Exit"
So that they could take the Compliment of being "True Friends".
(Rather than being Condemned for "True Losers")

So, 8-1-4 =........

And the remaining Three Stronger candidates?

As Expected........












They ALL performed Better than Most Professional Hedge Fund Managers!!

During the Most Violate 2-month investment history in UK, the Average Loss of a Hedge Fund was 5%.

And the Winning Three had :

1% Gain (a Straight A, 20-year-old Black, Male, University (Finance) student);

0.5% Gain (a Middle Aged Self Employed Single Mum with young twin daughters); and

1% Loss (a Middle Aged Early Retired Solider)


This has just proved again, AS EXPECTED,


Everyone has a Better Chance of Getting a Better Return for Themselves than any Faked Expert

Learning

Time Flies.
It's more than two years ago that I started warning others about the coming CRASH in www.baby-kingdom.com.
It's more than two weeks ago that I started watching this "Million Dollar Traders."

Have you managed to view this UK made 3-part documentary?
What have you learnt?

The young man supervising the Candidates is only 29-year-old.
He's retired as a Millionaire after working only 8 years in the Investment industry.

And guess how many times he had went out his office to have a proper lunch?
Only.....







Twice in all these 8 years!


The Oldest Candidate in the group could NOT stand the Pressure.
He made the Fatal Mistake - Buying the share he should be Selling!
Within minutes, he knew he'd made a Major Mistake, so he immediately sold the share.
Still, he'd made an Instant Loss due to the Buying/Selling Price Difference.

The Most Promising Candidate (stood out during the Training)also could NOT cope.
She was seen trying to get the phone set, then, not, then trying to get it again, then not to....... She's Panic.
She'd LOST the Confidence in Herself!

And the reason that these two Candidates were so Stressed out?
Because they were pressurised to Invest - even when the markets gone Mad!

The Supervisor kept reminding them they'd to Invest - regardless of the Dramatic rise and fall of the market.
This documentary was filmed last Sept, when the two US Mortgage Giants fell.
And then the Lehman Brothers.
The market was so volatile, the UK Blue Chips easily rose and fell by 10-20% in a day!

Not only you've learnt that Making the Right Decision in Investing is a Ticket to Early Retirement,
But also the Tremendous Pressure one has to Face when one HAS to Invest on a regular basis.

(So, why Rushing to Invest your OWN Hard Earned Money? Why Buying/Selling every hour?)

And the Most Important thing one could learn is................




Fund Managers HAVE to invest - no matter how Volatile the markets are.
Because they've to make money, at least by...........


Charging you an Excessive Fee!!
Head, you lose.
Tail, they win.
They always win.

And if they do lose......they lose YOUR money ONLY - NOT theirs!

See if you've got the message.

人生 –好笑篇

閉上眼好好 thinking，
人生就像一幅 painting，
點點滴滴如何 coloring，
還看你今怎樣 planning？

有人怨天尤人經常 crying，
有人餐搵餐食掛住 shopping，
有人遊戲人間鍾情 playing,
有人空談理想齋 talking；

也有人永不停步不斷 struggling,
像薛家燕雖然百病纏身令她 suffering，
但為了子女將來的美好 living，
依然不理手術後傷口仍在 paining，
繼續拍劇繼續 working，
令聞者 worrying，
聽者 touching
都說母愛永遠最是 shinning。

當時光列車不斷在身旁高速 passing，
頭上白髮告訴你青春不會 waiting，
你不期然開始 wondering，
為何幸運之神總是未有 coming，
前路彷彿有數之不盡的蕉皮令你 slipping，
成功的燈塔卻遠在天邊未能 climbing，
莫非永遠龍游淺水，就像那條座頭鯨 swimming

想當初百多元買入匯豐當作 saving，
誰知股票竟一再 falling，
怎不教人 shocking？
既然捉不到高位沽貨的 timing，
又經歷身家大縮水的 losing，
開始看透富貴只如天際 clouding，
這分鐘享受 winning，
下一秒卻只有 nothing。

何不找一個陽光普照的 morning，
走到郊外試試 hiking，
聽小鳥無愁地 singing，
看地上蟻群悠閒地 walking，
還有風聲蟬鳴蛙叫讓你 listening；
再放眼 looking，
天上飛鳥自在地 flying，
是不是很好 feeling？

誰說人生 boring？
看大自然的 amazing，
感受活的 pleasing!
來吧！ do something！
不要沉迷於 drinking或sleeping，
總有目標讓你朝 running，
哪怕 dying，
哪怕 raining，
信自己是最 charming，
替自己在上預留 booking，
寫下無悔今生的 happy ending！
最後讓我們 ask for God's blessing!

Million Dollar Traders

I saw a very interesting TV programme on Tuesday night.

A UK made documentary about selecting 8 persons out of about 1,000 applicants.
These Lucky 8 (or Unlucky?), with different (some Interesting) backgrounds were then being trained to become a Fund Manager.

http://www.sbs.com.au/blogarticle/109701/Million-Dollar-Traders-3-part-series/blog/Documentaries-SBS

Although I've read some of the comments made by the viewers, it's obviously that these viewers have MISSED the point.

This programme has shown...........shared with you more after you've viewed the 1st episode.

See what you can learn from the programme.


Fate
Learning Real Skills from Real Situations

Totally Unepxected?

Just when you think you could hide in your Comfort Zone, things change Dramatically.

You could just be moved to a new workplace one hour drive more than the old one.
You could just be required to work 3 days instead of the normal 5 days.
You could just be taking one "Compulsory" "Voluntary" (Confusing?) Leave Day a week.

Nothing as the way it was.

Even the Markets.
Just when you think everything may have settled, Markets change Dramatically.
Look at the HSI.
Look at the HK property prices.
Look at the A$.
Look at the Oil Price.
And of course the Gold Price.

Totally Unexpected?

Should it be?
The Circle has only resumed again - what goes up will comes down and vice verse.
And now they are only on the way up again - and up very quickly.
The Crocodiles are making sure you're Tempted then Trapped.

Why Rushing to buy when everyone does AND only to pay for a Premium?
Why did you NOT buy when the HSI was at around 10,000 point?
Why did you NOT buy A$ when it was Below HK$5?
Why did you NOT sell HSBC when it was HK$45, then bought it back at around HK$30?


Have you NOT seen enough for the last 22 months?
Have you NOT learnt ONE thing from the last 22 months?

Cash is still King.
Patience is still the Name of the Game.

I'm waiting.
Still waiting after 22 months.
With Money Ready.
With Realistic Buying Targets.
AND Realistic Selling Targets.
AND above all, with Really Effective Strategies - 1/2, 1/3, 15/20.....

The Only two things that are Totally Unexpected to you could be,

I was thinking about moving this Blog to a new address (under Yahoo)

And I've started a New Blog,
http://www.myboysmyboss.blogspot.com/
(which may also be moved to a New Address)

Fate
Learning from the Past, Working for the Future

P.S. Carol, thanks for your feedback on 25 May.
I know it's a Very Frustrating and Yet Temping situation you're now in.
But, I think what should have happened is soon to happen.
The only question is, "Have you got the Time & Patience to Wait?"
If not, use the "1/2, 1/3" Strategy to MINIMISE your Risk.

Unexpected II

Tuesday, the 300 mm rain had made the Queensland's 6-year-old Draught gone.
Wednesday, the another 390 mm rain had made the Queensland State Declaring "Diaster Zone"
2-day rain has contributed 1-year water supply for the whole Queensland.

This is Totally Unexpected.
Not only it happened but also happened in an Unprecedented Speed.

Sound Familiar?
What about all these Unexpected Events happening during the last 21 months?

Did I not tell you in this Blog before,
It is NO Longer about Firms but Countries?

At long last, UK has been warned by Credit Agency it could lose its "AAA" rating.
This could be the 1st time UK losing its "AAA" since 1978 when UK was 1st assessed.

Yes, USA is soon to be on the same path - being Downgraded.

Have you not noticed the US Congress just passed a BILL?
Which restricting how much interest a Credit Card firm could charge on the outstanding debt.

Have you not noticed the US is NOT only suffering from a Deteriorating Residential Property Market, but also ALL these, Credit Loan, Car Loan, Personal Loan, Student Loan etc. Market.... and now finally comes the Commercial Property Market?

Have you not noticed the New House Construction started in April is the Lowest(yes, beat the Record (again) made only a month ago!) since record began in the 1960s?

Are you expecting the Wall St continues to rise for No Reason?
When more & more people are Losing their jobs?
When more & more public money being thrown into the Losing firms?
When more $ more "000"s (Now approaching US$2 Trillions) added to the Deficit?

What are you expect to happen, when there is a Sudden and Complete Collapse in Faith on US?

Are you Ready?

Fate
Best Preparation for the Worst Anticipation

Unexpected

There have been a few Unexpected Events happening.

First, We're excited by our "Travel Around the World' Plan back in April.

But now with the Sudden Outbreak of Swine Flu,
It's increasingly likely we're to spend the time to travel around Australia instead.
By Driving!

Second, we're selling our house to cash in, preparing for the CRASH in share market.

Our agent had agreed to us doing our Private Sale while he's marketing the property for us.

http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=o&id=105661274&f=10&p=10&t=res&ty=&fmt=&header=&cc=&c=13925211&s=qld&snf=rbs&tm=1242737772

http://www.owner.com.au/seller_update/choose.cfm?CFID=20913&CFTOKEN=78690178

Third, we're now considering buying a unit in Hong Kong.

We sold our HK unit back in 1997.
Then, sold another one in 2001.
But now with the Mortgage Rate so Low (2.2%),
And our HK hotel bill is so High,
We may buy one for holiday if the Price drops to an Irresistable Level.

As much as one has planned ahead,
As many factors has been taken into consideration,
There is Always the "Unexpected"

So, how you been prepared for the "Nasty Unexpected" when Investing?

Are you expecting some Major US Banks to be Downgraded?
Are you expecting the US to be Downgraded - NO MORE "AAA"?

Are you expecting the Wall St to fall by at least another 50%?

I could be Very Wrong.
But I'm getting my Money Ready.

Fate
Expecting the Unexpected

Learning

There have been some Great Learning Opportunities lately.
About the "Great Art of Contradicting Oneself Without Feeling Embarrassed"

Learning from US Treasury Secretary,
"Our financial system remains strong as all 19 major banks passed the "Stress Test"
Even though 10 out of the 19 major banks need to raise Billions of capital.

Learning from the European Bank Governor,
"We are now at the Turning Point, the Worst has pasted."
Even though the Bank has just slashed its rate to 1% - the lowest on record.

Learning from the Australian Federal Treasurer,
"Our Economy is in Great Shape."
Even though he just announced the Biggest Budget Deficit in Australian History.

In this "Made to Believe" world, you really do NOT know Who you should Trust.

May be the World's Richest Man?

Below please find an E Mail I received from an Australian Friend.
Let's share his Wisdom.


"This should be posted in all schools and work places.

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how.

Feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set's them up for failure in the real world.


Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem.
The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school.
You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.
Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now.
They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT.
In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters.
You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life.
In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you agree, pass it on.
If you can read this - Thank a teacher!"

Fate
Learning from Everything

Logic

Many things in Life do not have Logic.

Where is the Logic for Love?

A Loves B Madly & yet B Loves C Deeply when C doesn't Love B Any!
A Loves B for 30 years & yet A leaves for C who is known for 30 days only!

Where is the Logic for Parenting?

Working Wholeheartedly, Working Repeatedly
No Paid, No Leave, No Resignation
No Turning Back!

Where is the Logic for the current markets?

Wall St rose, even though some Big Banks have to raise Big Capital.
A Share, H Share still rose, even though Influenza AH1N1 confirmed in HK.
Unemployment dropped in Australia, even though Australia just been confirmed in Recession.

There is NO Logic in Markets.
Because there is NO Logic in Emotions.

Although we know a lot about the Biggest Thing (Universe) and the Smallest Thing in Life (Neutron?),we never really know why we are Happy this minute and then Unhappy the following minute.

Never be Temped to Jump into the markets NOW.
The Positive Sentiment is Artificial - is set to get you in.

Stay Out.
Stay Calm.
Stay as a Winner.

Fate
Treat your Emotions as Treasure - Never Easily Shown to Others

Imagine

Can't stop thinking about the Beatles.
Or even someone coming out from the Beatles.

John Lennan - his all time Greatest,

"Imagine".

18 months ago, could anyone Imagine the "Greatest Depression" was coming?
18 days ago, could anyone Imagine the "Greatest Health Threat" was coming?

Subprime Crisis.
Swine Flu.
Still not Surprised?

What about a Sudden Strike?
There are rumours suggesting Israel may have to do a "Pre-emptive Strike" on Iran.
Because there are reports suggesting Iran could have a Nuclear Bomb within 2-3 years.

Did you remember all these "Experts' telling us not to worry?
They assure us this time is Different from the 1930's.

Yes, at least these Faked Experts get One Thing Right this time.
This time is Different.

This time is WORSE.

Because when the 1929/30 Depression started, there was NO Hedge Fund, NO Swine Flu, No Potential Nuclear War.......

Could you Imagine how all these end?

Fate
Imaginations bring Solutions
P.S. Carol, thanks for your feedback at 27 April. Relocating to HK is always an Option, but we're to stay in Australia for the time being.
We intend to rent a unit at Metro Harbourview in HK so that we do NOT have to stay in hotel during our HK holiday/business trip.

ABC

Anyone has been Patient and with Vision would easily understand the Current WWIII is.....
As simple as "ABC".

American Born Crisis.

Let us also look at the "ABC" from a different angle.

"A" for Australia.
I am still convinced Australia is better positioned than any other Western Countries.
But this does not mean it can stay away from Troubles.
Within a year, Australia's Unemployment has risen from 3.9% to 5.7%!
Still in Australia, unlike UK & US, at least many 1st time buyers are rushing to buy houses!

"B" for Britain.
The Once Greatest Empire - now the Greatest Depressed Nation.
Its Mess is Almost the Worst in Europe
Its national debt is now over 13% of its GDP (just behind Ireland)
And its Current Credit Rating of "AAA" looks almost certain to be Downgraded!

"C" for China.
Almost every country is betting on its Recovery.
Then again, its growth has been down from two digits for the last ten years to first, 6.3% and recently.......6.1%.
Before trying to save the world, China has to save itself first.
It is estimated for 1% Less Growth, there will be 7 Million More People out of job!

Now, back to the Biggest Economy.
"ABC" - Americans Better Covered?
With the 19 Largest Banks passed the "Financial Test" conducted by the US Government.

But there is a catch.
There are Three Criterion.
GDP, House Price & Unemployment.
And there are Presumptions on all these Criterion.
The Unemployment in US is Presumpted to rise to 10.3% by 2010.

So, this is exactly the Problem.
I believe the 10.3% has ALREADY been reached if the officials reporting the Truth.
Even with some foul play, the US Unemployment is soon to hit 10.3% - NOT till 2010!

Do you know there were 25 banks in US gone under in the whole year of 2008?
How many banks do you think have gone under so far this year?





29! And we are not even half way of the year yet!
But ALREADY beaten the last year's Total!


So, what should we do NOW?
Just like what you did in the Past, what you've been doing at Present......


"ABC".



Always Be Cautious.

Fate
Learning is Ongoing
P.S. Alice, thanks for your Feedback to my post dated 16 April. We did NOT contact your family during our recent trip to the Gold Coast was because we'd like to be alone, to think things over and to then make a decision. And we made the decision that our boys are to move to another school NEXT term

The Beatles

I remember the 1st cassette tape, No, NOT CD - I'm that Old!
The 1st tape I had in the Mid 70s was "The Greatest Hits of the Beatles"

"When I found myself in times of trouble......"
Yes, "Let It Be".
For those losing 50% (if not more) in the shares would certainly remember this oldies.

"Help! I need somebody......."
Yes, "Help"
For those asking the Government to Help, have all these "Stimulus Plans" really Helped?
Japan is to launch the 4th and Australia is ready for the 3rd!!

"The Long and Winding Road........"
Yes, this is definitely the case.
No Recession in US after the Great Depression had lasted longer than 15 months.


Well.....well.....well.........UNTIL this one.

The Current Recession in US was confirmed in Dec 08 that it had started in Dec 07!!
So....with the help of my fingers.....
The Recession has ALREADY pasted 15th month and into its 16th month.

And there is NO Sight of its Ending.

In fact, the Current Recession, which I call the Greatest Depression.
And the IMF calls the Greatest Recession is looking increasingly like the 30's Great Depression.
(Enough Confusion?)

It had taken the Wall St 33 months to reach the Bottom in the 30's Great Depression.
So, if History is to repeat itself and to repeat in the Exact Format - we're only Half Way there!!

And now even Australia, which is much better positioned than any other Western Countries, cannot escape "Recession".
Unemployment now hits 5.7%, with 1,000 people losing their job EVERYDAY!!
(http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2009/s2544841.htm)

Let's hope the Good Old Memories of the Beatles can Help us all feeling better in this "Never Ending Battle"

"Battle Against the Greatest Depression"

"Hey, Jude, don't make it bad......."

Fate
Stay Happy. Stay Healthy

Surprise, Surprise

Life is full of Surprises.

Easter Holiday is NEVER Easy.
Because we as parents are Obliged to arrange activities to keep our children happy.

On Easter Sunday, after arriving at an Aquatic Centre, we're Surprised to see the Indoor Pool was closed on that particular day for...............
floor maintanese.

More Surprised to see our boys NOT feeling cold when swimming in the Outdoor Pool.
(We're in Autumn now in Australia)

Most Surprised to see there were only...................









Four of Us in the WHOLE Pool - a bit like having the Biggest Private Pool at Home!!

Was the Real Fate trying to remind me,
"Those Try Harder will Gain More"?

Another Surprise came yesterday when us arriving the Gold Coast for our 4-day Break.

Our boys just enjoyed playing the sand, swimming in the sea, observing the waves, running in the sand, pretending surfing etc....so much, they did NOT want to visit any of the Theme Parks - the Reason we came to the Gold Coast in the first place!!

Was the Real Fate Trying to remind me,
"Big Happiness come from Small Things"?

Then, came the Biggest Surprise when me opening an E Mail yesterday evening.
An E Mail from the Goggle Team.

I was advised there would be NO More Advertisements appearing in my Blog.
That's why it's now Blank above the Title of the latest post.

This could be a Good Thing for me for two reasons.

First, I feel a bit Embarrassed by the Financial Advertisements - when I've been warning everyone NOT to trust the so called "Financial Experts"!!

Second, I think I should now try another way to express my views other than in words.

So, you should not be too surprised that one day if you're to see a "Batman" giving some "Funny" financial views on YouTube.
Well, assuming I could understand the ever changing technology first!!

Was the Real Fate trying to remind me,
"Never Restrict Yourself to Only One Option"?

What about you?
Have you got any Surprise recently?
E.g. being Surprised by the Sudden Share Price Surge in the US Financials?

If so, let me Warn you,
"Be Ready for More Nasty Surprises."

The Relaxing Accounting Requirements recently introduced in US would only mean Three Things,

Delay the Problem

Creat More Problems

AND Inflate the Problems

Fate
No Problem if you're Ready for Any Problem
P.S. Carol, thanks for your comment made in respond to my post dated 11 April.
I could only hope that your sister is NOT going to hit me if the HSBC share price hits HK$100 again soon!

Decoding Obama

Barack Obama, the current US President, the Most Important Person in the world.
Is he an Eagle, Pro-War or a Pigeon, Pro-Peace?

Let's Decode His Name and look into his Future - and Ours too!

"Barack"?
Reminding me another (very similar) word, "Barrack".
Just looked up in my old dictionary.
"Barrack" means "large buildings for soldiers to live in".
A Sign of an Eagle?

Hm...... then "B Obama"?
Let's re-arrange this.
It becomes the Shocking Words,













"A A Bomb" = "An Atomic Bomb"!
Another Sign of an Eagle?

Is that why he has warned others Iran has the "Nuclear Bomb Making Technology"?

Is that why he has expressed concerns about North Korea's Long Range Missile Test?

Is that why he has attended the 60-year Anniversary Ceremony of NATO - a Strategic War Alliance?

Is that why he has visited Turkey - to get back the military base for his soldiers?

Obama may not be thinking about starting a War NOW.

But, never say never.
When the US Economy getting Worse and Worse in the coming months,
And when every other alternative has been used,
Desperation may temp him to take this War Option - to shift everyone's Attention!

Just like President Roosevelt "Utilitsing" the WWII to "End" the Great Depression in the 30s?

Fate
Change Your Thinking, Change Your Fate

The Biggest Mistake

Yes, you're to make this US$1,000,000,000,000 Mistake.
Well, ONLY if you believe the amount agreed by the G20 would really save the world.

Do you know how much the US Government had already spent BEFORE Obama took over the Presidency?

At the last count on Dec 08, it was between US$6 Trillion and US$ 8 Trillion!!!
Which is > than the TOTAL amount the US has spent for ALL the wars it has so far fought!!!
Yes, that is, > WWI + WWII + Korean War + Vietnam War + Gulf War + Afghanistan War + Iraq War etc. !!

Which is also ONLY 250% MORE (In Real Term) than what it had spent back in the 1930s in trying to fight off the Great Depression!!!

Do you know how much the DAILY turnover in the Forex Market is?
About US$ 3 Trillion.


Do you know how much the CDS market is?
Over US$64 Trillion.

Remember, Obama has already pledged to send MUCH MORE than US$ 1 Trillion before G20.
And that was intended for the US Economy ALONE.

So, do you really think this Tiny amount US$ 1 Trillion can save the Global Economy?

Do NOT make the Biggest (Investment) Mistake - believing in something that you should NOT be believing.

Sell your shares before it's Too Late.
Before your shares drop by another 50%!! (If not Worthless)

Fate
Sell when the Others Feel Good

The Best Buy

The US Government has been a "Shopaholic" for sometime.

Having bought the Largest Mortgage Providers, the Largest Banks, the Largest Insurance Firm, it may soon have to buy the Largest Auto Markers too.

And yet,the US Government seems to have overlooked a Very (if not The Most) Important Buy.

Did anyone remember how speedy the share prices of the above Largest collapse?
Remember how they all started?

Just a rumour that a firm would soon be Downgraded could push the price down by 20-30% in a day!
More when Confirmed.

So, the US Government should have acted NOW, making the Best Buy of the Century - did they not say the current WWIII is an "Once a Century Event"?

Buy ALL the Credit Rating Agencies.

NOT necessary Stopping them from publishing "Downgrade" Reports.
But only to "Reminding" them to publish reports Less Frequently, say like only Once a Year! Allowing More Time to fix up the Mess!

And all these Credit Rating Agencies have been shifting their focus from Firms to Countries.

Imagine UK being Downgraded.
Getting more likely everyday, especially it has managed to have sold only 93% of its Bonds recently - 1st time in 7 years.
And last year, 10 Times More Investment Money was being shifted out of UK than any other period during the last 10 years.

Imagine USA being Downgraded?

Fate
Never Say Never, Embrace a New Era

G2000

No, there is NO typing mistake.
The Title is G2000.

Yes, G2000.
To be precise G2000 = G20.

G2000 = A Famous Retail Firm in Hong Kong that sells clothes.
G20 = The 20 Largest Economies in the world, accounting for about 75% of world population and 85% of world output.

Both are basically the same.
Making People Look Good, Feel Good.
Nothing else.

Do you sincere believe all these Presidents/Prime Ministers are to agree on major issues?

Just look at yourself.
Can you and your children agree on where to go for the coming Easter Holidays?
Or even just between you and your spouse, can you two agree on what to have for dinner or just which TV channel to watch?

How could you expect all these people coming from different parts of the world, with different mentality, different own agenda, different major problems etc. to agree on the major issues?

Well, one thing they must have all agreed on,

To eat good food, stay good hotel, spend good money by using your and my money - the hard earned cash of every taxpayer!!

They are not here to agree.
They are here to show their Greed,

To Get More Power by taking away from others.

China is there to get more and has someone to do it for it.
Australian Prime Minister has already openly stated China should take a more important role in the IMF.

And China just stated in the last few days,
There is a need for a New International Trading/Settlement/Reserve Currency.

US is soon to become the Past, just like the once Great Great Britain.
The stage is set for the Rising of China - also thanks to the ever fighting US + UK Vs Europe!!

And watch out the Currency - now is the Most Powerful Weapon.
In particular, the US$ and the RMB$

Anything could happen with these two Currencies.

Fate
Prepared for the Unexpected

The Biggest Gamble

Britain now has more than 2 Million people out of job.
Spain is twice of Britain's = 4 Millions!
And IMF has seen for the First Time since WWII the Global Output has contracted.

Every country is racing against time to fight hard against the Greatest Depression.
Japan has initiated its 3rd Stimulus Plan (when were the first two started??)
Australia just started its 2nd. So was US.

So, US has just took another Dramatic action - printing money - only over US$1 Trillion of it!

And the consequences?

One of which is the US$ just had its One Day Biggest Fall since 1985!!

Did I not say the New Battlefield is in the Exchange Rate just 5 days ago?

Every Government has tried every avenue to stimulate demand for the last 18 months.
But Failed.

So, if one cannot stimulate "Internal Demand", let's stimulate "External Demand".

Making US$ Cheaper, making Every US Business Dead Cheap, making Every US product Dead Cheap etc.... to attract Massive Inflow of money, which in turn is to create the much needed Jobs.

Japan has been doing this for the last 2 months.
So has been Switzerland for the last week.
And both had good results - Until yesterday.
US has now joined the game - Depreciating its currency.

US is now using this dangerous tool to make its Biggest Gamble.

How LOW will US$ go?

Fasten your seat belt and be ready for an amusing Roller Coater Ride!
