Recession may be over, at least for now, but the same cannot be said about U.S. unemployment market. The jobless rate surprisingly surpassed analysts’ estimate (of 9.9%) to a staggering 10.2% in Oct, higher than Sep’s 9.8% jobless rate.

Budget 2010 revealed by PM Najib Razak was so boring that one was wondering if it was so difficult to draft a better budget that could benefit the average Joes. Why on earth would anyone care about the 1% reduction in income tax for those who earn above RM100,000 per annum? The cost of living was so [...]

Public Bank is perhaps one of the stocks everyone would like to own for obvious reason.

Earnings season is here again and all eye-balls are watching for indicators that U.S. economy is indeed on its way to recovery.

It's been many moons since I last publish my profit. It's definitely not easy to score 3-digits percentage profit and with the expiration about two days away, AAPL has been kind to me.

Corruption and racial politics are two main top ala-cartes on the ruling government’s menu headed by UMNO. These two authentic cuisines are so delicious that after 52-year of independence they (corruption and racial politics) are still being practiced by the ruling BN government. Just like in the [...]

How long can the current rally last? That is a multi-billion-dollars question everyone would like to know. Boy! It’s not easy being either a bull or a bear.

Uh oh! It seems the rally got stuck in the mud. Analysts who screamed at the top of the voice that the bull is out for revenge didn’t seem to get it.
