Ever since the Sept 16 deadline to form the new government expired without any mojo de-facto opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has been extremely quiet. The excitement died as fast as the political blogs mushroomed right after the 8th Mar 2008 general election. All you heard thereafter were some stupid and silly yet entertaining statements from […]

Bailout of bankers is bad but Maika’s bailout is pure Stupid

At last Malaysia’s Central Bank cut its interest rate to 3.25 percent from 3.50 percent after stubbornly stay at that level for more than two years since Apr 2006.

Fast Scalp on Apple as good news don’t stay long

Looks like the Dow Jones is having a small party after the government agreed to inject $20 billion to bailout the once mighty Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C, stock).

When is the Right time to buy Stocks? Ask yourself

There were two young chaps talking about the current stock market after they finished their meals at a hawker center the other day. As much as I hoped for, it appears the price of foods never goes down and chances are it won’t no matter how much the fuel price drops. So stop believe those […]

Japan’s Recession and Cheaper Fuel Prices

One of the scary parts about recession is the fact that it does not infect only a certain sector. It is just like a virus or worm and it will not stop infecting until the right antivirus signature is used to uniquely identifies and quarantine or clean the specific virus. For this same reason people […]

Wild Swing to continue as long as the Worse is Not in Sight

By now you should know why stimulus package or rescue plan is not the magic bullet that could solve any economic problems created by greedy top management.

Economic Uncertainties breed Denial Syndrome?

Readers who thought that I was being negative with the so-called RM7 billion stimulus plan announced by de-facto PM Najib recently obviously do not have a clue about the global stock markets mechanism.
