It was nice to hear the Malaysia’s Central Bank (Bank Negara) is ready to provide liquidity to financial institutions should they need the money although the Central Bank did not commit on the dollars and cents that it could cough up to “rescue” them. I’m sure the central bank should have te [...]

On Black Monday in 1929 the stocks dropped 24 percent and at the lowest point the U.S. stocks had lost more than 80 percent compared to their highest point (recorded in Sept 1929).

Black Friday – well, almost, when the Dow opened with breathtaking plunge of nearly 700 points during the first 5-minutes into trading hour.

Like it or not the outgoing Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi would be remember as the weakest, laziest, useless and the most indecisive PM this country ever had. From the start he doesn’t have the minimum quality, both academic and leadership, to become the PM. He was put on throne because [...]

When the Dow was flushed to below 10,000 and as low as 9,560 at one point but recovered nearing the 10,000 before the closing bell on Monday, I was relieved.

Lame-duck and flip-flop PM Abdullah Badawi said he will announce the decision on whether he would defend the UMNO presidency either tomorrow or by Wednesday.
