Nokia 3120 Classic

Bought a new phone over the weekend. I traded in my HTC Touch for RM500 and bought this 'crap' for another RM100. It a nice phone which fits in my pocket and has the functions that are useful to me basically sms and making calls but gosh ..the speakers sucks big time! It sounds hollow and echoic! I have been using it for a few days now and it is disappointing to answer calls! I won't be surprised if I change my phone again soon!

Dow's 2nd biggest one day gain in history!

Dow rose 889 points last night! I had long positions overnight and was a little worried that it was only a mere 20 points up when I checked during the night. I woke up this morning and 'Whoaaa not bad, not bad! I don't expect the US market to have a V shape recovery as it will take a lot longer to realise the magnitude of the 'shit' we're in and no interest rate cut is going to solve it immediately! In the end, I do expect the Dow to make lower lows before stabilising and making a recovery after that! As for KLSE, we should see 680 next year..yup tougher times ahead!

A meeting with an Ebay Powerseller

It's been a while since my last update and I apologize to no one because nobody reads my blog anyway. At least for now.. But I was relatively busy during the last weekend, attending a 2 day course on how to sell in Ebay..well for most of you who think 'huh? Ebay also must go for course ah?' you have to understand I waste too much time trying to figure out how to do it so I'd rather cut 'learn by yourself part' and pay someone to tell me! It was good!
I learnt that you cannot do this overnight and there are a lot of things to go through before getting it right. Much of it cannot be described unless you've been through it and although it is still fresh in my mind, I will never understand unless I experience it myself. For example.. if a buyer wants to know how much is it to ship or if there are any complaints or if the product works in their country..gee! how I know? Buy first la..I'll be tempted to say...
I am relatively excited about this prospect and will definitely post some things to sell..Let's see if I can sell my FIRST product before I go for my holiday in November! Keep you posted! (keep myself posted rather!)

Experts predict interest rates will fall sharply

AUSTRALIAN interest rates are tipped to fall to the lowest level since the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks as the central bank worries about a recession.

One Sydney academic is even forecasting an unprecedented zero per cent interest rate by 2010 on the premise that debt-laden consumers will close their wallets and threaten to push the economy into a deep economic contraction.

Macquarie Group interest rate strategist Rory Robertson said the Reserve Bank of Australia would cut the cash rate, now at 6 per cent, to 4.25 per cent over the next year.

This would be equal to where the cash rate was in December 2001, in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the U.S.

Wonder why did Oz just raised the IR not too long ago sometime in March! Anyhow, it seems they realise how bad the situation is now..duhh! With so many countries in recession now latest being Singapore, Japan and NZ, it would be hard to stop an oncoming train! By cutting the IR, we could probably see currency weakness. Who knows we might even see 1.80! Its not too far fetched! It's already 2.30 now! Unless you have kids studying in Oz and you have to pay school fees, the rates have been the lowest so far which is good. Wait for lower rates!

Property Market

With the IR going down and the new Gomen grant of AUD21k, some are able to buy their first home. PM Kevin Rudd announced the new AUD 10.4B rescue package to revive the economy and certainly the property sector. At a time like this when the world seems to be crashing down on you, history has shown where the money goes.

Following the World Stock market crash of October 1987, when the Dow Jones fell some 23%, and the Australian all ordinaries fell some 42%, WHY did the average Melbourne apartment rise by 37%, and the average Sydney apartment by 54% in the 24 months immediately following the crash?

(Source: Residex October 1987-October 1989)

To me, i don't think its as simple as that. Yeah the cause of the crash was quite similar as in the market was over bullish, companies would grow exponentially simply by constantly purchasing other companies. In leveraged buyouts, a company would raise massive amounts of capital by selling junk bonds to the public. Junk bonds are simply bonds that have a high risk of loss, so they pay a high interest rate. The money raised by selling junk bonds, would go towards the purchase of the desired company. IPOs were also becoming a commonplace driver of the markets. An IPO is when a company issues stock for the first time. “Microcomputers” were also a top growth industry. People started to view the personal computer as a revolutionary tool that will change our way of life, and create wonderful profit opportunities. And because of this greed, people were on margins! When the music stops, everybody panics and rushes out the door! Party was over in 8 weeks and lost all they had and more!

Similarly in 2008, CDO's were packaged together from good rated bonds with low risk, low return to crap rated high risk high return subprime loans which banks give to people who have bad credit rating. Heck, they even give you debit cards to spend together with the loans! When housing starts to plunder and people can't pay loans, the shit hits the fan and everybody loses in the stock market because of America's greed, It'll take more than 3 years to open up every CDO file and see what kinda rubbish was packaged in. Even banks do not know how much money they have to lend and that's the reason everything has frozen! No lending, no growth, businesses suffer, people stop spending and a great cycle of depression. I will have to start a business of selling safes to keep my money in because banks don't even guarantee what I have in there!!

Jamie Goof..

Daddy goofing with Mummy while Jamie is sleeping!

We were on the way to check out the Mydin hypermarket right next to Giant in Subang. Never heard of it? Well, that's because us Chinese seldom shop there and about 90% of shoppers are Malays and Indians. The jam was so bad that we didn't manage to get there that day. Mydin was nice on the outside! Looked impressive but the groceries that we buy was a bit expensive there. We had a RM100 voucher so it was ok! This was after Lukas Goh's birthday party at Mcdonald's in Centrepoint. It was raining cats and dogs that day! Party princess was sleeping like a log after the party!

Kelly is slow out of the blocks!

See they all start out the same....


After the mama roids....(milk la!) My goodness! Look how much Dana has grown! Dwarfing Kelly by about 3 kilos and they were born on the same day! Well done Jaime and Derick!

I can see!

Today is the first day that I can say that Lasik procedure really works! The last four days coming out of the laser room had been cloudy with bouts of double vision partly because my eyes were still dilated. Today, it became really clear as if I was just wearing contact lenses, only I'm not! Wow! Am really looking forward to having my eyes tested again to see if my vision is 20/20. However, I am still finding it hard to focus when I'm reading the papers. I am hopeful it only gets better from here! Thank you Lord!

Cut in Migrant Numbers by Rudd

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has flagged a cut in immigration because of the global financial crisis, faltering economic growth and a rise in unemployment.

Mr Rudd said the current immigration rate was an increase on the previous year.

He said that increase was to meet employer demands for more skilled workers, particularly in mining and resource intensive Western Australia and Queensland.

"As with all previous governments, and mine's the same, whenever we set immigration targets we will adjust them according to the economic circumstances of the day," he told the Fairfax Radio Network in Melbourne.

The 2008-09 Migration Program is set at 190,300 places, representing a 19.8 per cent increase on the 2007-08 program. The figure includes 56,500 places for family migrants sponsored by people already in Australia and 133,500 places for those with special skills.

But that's now been criticised as excessively large in a period of economic turmoil.

Mr Rudd said immigration was not one-size-fits-all across the country and the government would take advice on where skilled workers were needed.

Monash University researcher Andrew Markus has estimated that of the 21 million Australians, a quarter were born abroad - twice the proportion of the population in the United States and three times that of Britain.

Britain and New Zealand are still the largest source countries, but almost every country is represented.

Although we are fortunate enough to receive our PR this year, it is still daunting to realize we may not get any jobs if we decide to go so soon.I will wait out the 2 years and see what happens..

Lasik Procedure

Finally, I did my Lasik procedure yesterday afternoon! Everything went well mainly because I was briefed about what would happen. What I did not expect was the pain I experienced after the anesthetic wore out! My goodness! I was going to pull my hair out! I had tears running down my eyes and it felt like someone had punched me in the face, nuerously! My nose was runny so I had to breath through my mouth. Sleeping was difficult because I was more in pain than anything else. It was hard to keep the eyelids open too as it was puffed up. That lasted for 3 hours! By nightfall, the congestion disappeared and my vision was restored after 5 hours. I slept better at night.

Today, was a different day! I woke up and I could see the time! Do you know how that feels? Oh it felt great!! I was so excited I got up and showered and took a walk outside! Woohooo! It is still blurry but that's because my pupils are still dilated and it would be dilated for 3 days. So after 3 days, I would be able to see clearly. I even drove to see the doctor for a followup this morning. Will update further in a week after my weekly checkup! Woohooo!

Severe Market Conditions!

In my years of trading, I have never seen such severe selling in the financial markets. Forget about fundamentals! Forget about valuations! These are just panic sellers but are broadbased in all sectors. I would say most participants in the markets are institutions and are just receiving orders and maybe some punters but most retail participants are sitting at the sidelines watching their investments vanish, at least on paper! Dow has been down 7 days in a row and again futures are showing a negative opening however, I feel we are close to the bottom in the short term. It is due for a bounce and any further heavy selling will be an opportunity to buy. YES! BUY! Be cautious though because it may not last very long as the liquidity crisis is not likely to go away so quickly even if coordinated efforts from International Banks pumps liquidity into their respective markets or cuts interest rates, however, I feel the point of capitulation is near or whatever you wanna call it! The problem lies in banks now as most banks do NOT even know how much they have to lend. CDO's that caused the subprime market in the US were made up of AAA rating bonds and much lower rating subprime loans but when packaged together, it becomes a BBB rating package that banks are allowed to purchase. Its a daunting task to unravel the CDO's and find out what kinda junk that banks have purchased once the subprime markets collapsed. Who are the losers? Everybody! Looking at what we are facing now!

Skilled workers leaving Australia in droves

MELBOURNE, Oct 7 - Australia has experienced its biggest annual exodus on record with 76,923 people leaving the country permanently in 2007-08, a new report shows.

And it appears the skills crisis is only set to worsen with the report showing almost half of those who left Australia permanently were in skilled jobs.

Almost two-thirds of those who left the country permanently were aged between 25 and 54.

A further 102,066 Australian residents left the country for a year or more with more than 55 per cent in professional occupations or trades, the Emigration 2007-2008 report shows.

Australia’s Immigration Minister Chris Evans said the figures showed that emigration played a significant role in Australia’s current skills shortage.

“Historically high numbers of our young, highly skilled people are moving overseas to live and work,” Senator Evans is quoted by the Australia Associated Press as saying.

The exodus in 2007-08 represents a 6.7 per cent increase on the previous year and a 325 per cent increase on the low of 18,100 people who left permanently in 1985-86.

“These latest figures also reflect the current global demand for skills and the internationalisation of the labour market as part of the broader process of globalisation,” Senator Evans said.

The main countries of intended residence for all permanent departures were New Zealand (18.4 per cent), the United Kingdom (17.8 per cent), the United States (9.3 per cent), Hong Kong (7.2 per cent) and Singapore (6.4 per cent).

Of the permanent departures, 39,467 or 51 per cent were men compared with 37,456 women (49 per cent).

There were 149,635 permanent arrivals in 2007-08. — Bernama

That's always the case isn't it? Locals wanting to leave for better jobs and foreigners coming in to look for jobs that their country of origin cannot offer. Only thing is we are attracting all the maids, construction workers and other so called cheap labor whereas, graduates disappear to other countries. I am no different! And what this does is increasing the crime rates because they think they can get away with it as foreign nationals..just send them back la! We are not solving the problem this way..

What a Dow day!

Dow
DJIA pared its losses by half in what seems to be volatile session yesterday falling to 9525.32, the lowest level since Oct 24th 2003 when it hit 9497.72. It shed almost 800pts to the point of capitulation when it started hitting back at sellers to end at 9955.50 cracking the 10,000 mark at the close. What a rebound in the final hour! The news again was the concern that US will still head for a recession despite the governments rescue plan. Got out of my 'shorts' today a the US charts show a 'doji' which could be a point of reversal. As I am writing this the Australian markets have turned positive from a 2% drop this morning and KLSE is rebounding with the region. Dow futures are pointing to a positive open (+147) and I might just initiate long positions overnight to ride in it! Oil is rebounding as we speak! up 3.00 to 90.89. Europe just opened and things look positive, for now!


Aussie Rates
Reserve Banks of Australia cuts IR by 1% this morning and the MYR/AUD is 2.509. This is good news for all. Good for borrowers. Good for housing market because buyers borrow at lower rates. Probably will see a revival in the housing market though not immediate. Kudos to the Aussie Gomen to revive economy. Will the rest of the world follow the same strategy to combat the ongoing crisis? Will watch and wait..hey its good for me too! Need to change some $$ for our trip to Melbourne in November.


Lasik
I will be going for Lasik corrective surgery for my eyes on Thursday at 2.30pm. Am nervous but believe that it will be good for my eyes because I am so vain! ( did I just say that?) No la..try wearing glasses to play badminton. Got a headache thinking about it! Will post the results later. Wish me luck..err a good surgery!

World Stocks take a dive!

ATLANTA (CNN) -- The major markets of Europe and Asia were sharply lower on Monday as traders looked past America's bank bailout bill and focused on Europe's growing financial crisis.

The most influential European markets -- London's FTSE 100, the CAC 40 in Paris and the XETRA DAX in Frankfurt -- were off about 3% to 6% in the first half of the trading day.

In my previous post, I covered the US banks taking a hit from the financial crisis. This evening, it is the European banks weakening as the crisis spreads, pulling the Asian markets down with them. The slump followed a weekend in which Germany's private financial sector promised to put up an additional 15 billion euros, in addition to the 35 billion euros already pledged, to help shore up Hypo Real Estate bank, the nation's Finance Ministry said Sunday.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is pushing is bailout similar to the one passed by the U.S. Congress last week and signed by President on Friday.

Asian and Pacific markets were roundly lower on Monday. Japan's Nikkei Exchange closed down 465.05 points, or 4.25%, at 10,473.09 on Monday, extending Friday's three-year low. The Korea Exchange in Seoul, South Korea finished the day off 4.3%.

The Australian Securities Exchange plunged about 3.4% to 4,544.70, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng was off nearly 5% of its value, falling to 16,803.76. The selloffs are traders' first reactions to America's $700B bank bailout and weakening financial markets across Europe.

It has begun!

Stock markets in chaos: BOOM, OR Gloom for Australian property 2008-2010?

Let's face it! You and I have been affected by the crisis in financial markets one way or the other. Volatility is imminent! Commodities have seen an upcycle to levels unheard of and on the way down now due to the slowing down in growth of economies as they suffer from these huge runs which brought about inflation. The 'flight to quality' is definitely on by the recent runs in Gold prices and bonds as investors cash out of equities and move to these instruments. 'Cash is King' will be reverberated throughout these times, but where will they park their money once they liquidate? Will they continue putting in banks? The recent crisis has seen many banks under liquidation. Banks that you would never imagine going down.!Too big to go down in fact! Here's a list:

People are putting money in Properties

Following the World Stock market crash of October 1987, when the Dow Jones fell some 23%, and the Australian all ordinaries fell some 42%, WHY did Melbourne apartments prices rise by nearly 40%, and Sydney apartments by 54% in the 24 months immediately following the crash? (source: Residex October 1987-October 1989)

Firstly, though the crisis has a trickling down effect to Australia, the overall economy remains resilient. Reasonably strong and stable because of its rich resource in commodities and not so much technology or manufacturing intensive.

Secondly, there is a chronic shortage of construction and new houses being built around Australia. There is an oversupply of houses in the US and Australia is the opposite.

Thirdly, there is a huge amount of new migrants entering Australia every year. People like me and over 400,000 more in 2008.

Where will they live?

Property prices have been on the rise for a while now. Even Perth has overtaken Sydney and Melbourne in terms of median prices because of the mining boom! One thing for sure is that if prices do come off, it won't be for long.

Economic forecaster BIS Shrapnel is predicting good economic conditions for Australia for most of the next 15 years. Infrastructure and housing development in Australia, together with the growth of China and India will keep investment and growth at healthy levels they said in their latest report.

They are also predicting (as reported on September 21 in the Age Newspaper) rent increases of 32 per cent in certain areas. Won't it be nice to own an Australian property today? Problem is when we convert MYR to AUD, we 'd have to divide it by 2.8 and that sux bigtime!

Weakening AUD

Managed to buy some AUD at 2.83 yesterday. Looks like it weakened against MYR after bouncing to 2.87 a couple of days ago. RBA will decide if there is going to be a 50 basis point rate cut the next few days or so, and what we're seeing is investors selling ahead of that. Will be on the lookout to accumulate more. Far cry from the 2.9s and 3s that we've been seeing not too long ago..

My Graduating Photo

There was a huge section on Education Australia in today's Star Sunday. I guess its time again to feature Australia as a study destination and of which I'm sure its a very popular one. IDP Education is a global organisation owned by the Australian education sector to specially aid students in their preparation to study in Australia. They represent over 300 government universities, schools, colleges, TAFE colleges and a number of private education institutions. They give unbiased professional advice on a students needs. But I didn't go through all that. Students today got a lot more headaches to go through before deciding because the choices they have is like infinite! Reminds me of my school days...

My School Days

I studied in Australia! I left in 1986 for year 9 (Form 3 la) to a private school in Sydney called Northholm Grammar. Those days it was hard to get accepted in schools but I am truly grateful to my neighbor, the Wan's, who migrated to Sydney to start afresh in the 80's. I still remember my dad asking me if I wanted to study overseas with Stanley and Serena! After all, most of my childhood was spent with Stanley and it was only natural I had wanted to be with my 'buddy'! It took almost 2 years before they found a school for me. Unc Johnny had gone through more than 30 schools before Northholm accepted me and it was like miles away. I could not go to a public school because I was not a PR so the only option was a private school. And boy it was not cheap, even for today's standards! It took 3 hrs of travelling back and forth each day. I wonder how many of you would endure that just to go to school ah? A bus to Epping Station, a train to Pennant Hills and a school bus to Arcadia. Everyday la dey! Good thing about schooling is when you travel in uniforms, you just need to flash your pass and that's it! Even if you need to pay, it wouldn't be the full fare cos that's the way the system works. It was a good system and I'm sure its still the same today.

My First Day

At 14, Australia was an eye opener for me! I remember the first, first day of school in year 9. Even after going through the plans over and over again, something had to go wrong and it had to be the first day! I woke up all excited! I'm goin da school .. I'm goin da school .. (doing that shit stirring thingy!) Got ready and doing last minute preparations. Then time to go! I walked out of my foster house to the bus stop just outside and waited. And waited.. and waited .. It was a long wait before the bus finally arrived! As the bus appoached, it was travelling quite fast but could see that it was slowing down! I took a step back! That was a big mistake! It was a sign that you are not interested in taking that bus. It accelerated and zoomed by me like the bullet train in Tokyo blowing my hair all over the place. I was in disgust! In KL, we start cursing already! But in Australia, I thought maybe racist bus driver or something! I managed to catch a bus after that, but never learnt the one step back till a while later on. Hence, I missed a few busses still. Late oredy la! I would take the later train and as a result, I missed the school bus. Darn! My first day of school somemore! Taxis were very expensive in Sydney those days and the meter would jump by 5 cents every like 5 seconds! I was told to avoid taxis at all costs! I asked around for other busses if they headed out to Northholm Grammar, Arcadia, they said "WHERE"? Thats when I thought, this school so far away, the locals don't even know where it is! Shucks! Bad dream! Bad dream!

I grabbed a taxi! Don't care la! Had some money with me but had no idea how much it would come up to after all the horror stories! I said to the taxi driver "I need to go to Northholm Grammar in Arcadia" and he looked at me and replied something to the effect of "I dunno where it is but if you have the address we can get there with the directory?". That was comforting! Still we took a long time and when we finally got there, I couldn't pay with what I had in my pocket. I got down and went into the office to borrow money! All this on the first day ya! They found out I was a student there and they just billed it to my uncle. The lady said "they are having a school assembly now. Why don't you go around the block and sit in with them?" I said "ok" and left. I looked around the building blocks following the voice of the headmaster. The voice grew louder and louder and I could hear it was just round this corner...I turned.. and was facing the whole school!! I had stood on the very podium the headmaster was standing on addressing the whole school on MY FIRST DAY! What a wonderful experience, NOT!! Can there be anything more embarassing??? I could never forget that! Stories that you will pass on to your grandkids for sure!

My First Teacher

I met my role teacher for the year. I couldn't believe it! She was the mystical blonde hair , blue eyed, single, beach going, tanned and slim model like women that we only see on tele. (not kidding here!) Now, I get to see her everyday! Woohooo! Later on I found out 'the hard way' she bathes topless and often doesn't wear bra to school! hmm that'll be another story another time! After the 1st year, I saw her around for another 3 years before she got hitched , married and disappeared into the sunset forever. My first blonde hair and blue eyed experience! Ah Ms Rowland...

Bluetooth on watches for ladies

The reason I find this interesting is not because of the technology of bluetooth watches but rather the three spokespersons for the watches. Most people would not know much about Agnes Szavay, Dominika Cibulkova or Caroline Wozniacki but they are up and coming beauties in professional women's tennis today. I do however, find that technology these days do not limit themselves to just phones and cameras but what the heck, let's put them in watches too! Ladies who often miss calls when their phone is in the handbag or unable to hear them while in warehouse sales have plenty to rejoice about. So whats next? Scanners in wallets? Fax machines in handbags? Who knows..
