Before the oil hit $85, or $90 or $100, big players already buying / speculaaing oil huge, and would start selling their stocks at hand.
So, a cycle it is only waiting to be happened, Its not a WORLD CRISIs.
Middle east problems is a perpectual problems which is just not happened recently.
Am waiting for US to go back to its gloria stage. It seems it is attractive enough now for investors to enter their market.

What has oil got to do with stocks?? Its all because some hedge funds in order to hedge against its potential losses, one hand buying oil but the other hand, selling stocks at hand, or vice versa.

Stocks sink for second day as oil hits $100 By Hibah Yousuf, staff writerFebruary 23, 2011: 4:46 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Stocks declined for a second straight session Wednesday as oil prices surged to briefly cross the $100 per barrel mark amid mounting turmoil in Libya.
The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) fell 107 points, or 0.9%, a day after the blue-chip index plunged nearly 180 points. That was the first back-to-back triple-digit drop for the blue-chip index since June.
Meanwhile, the S& P 500 (SPX) slipped 8 points, or 0.6%.
Both indexes were also dragged lower by a 10% tumble in shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500). Late Tuesday, the computer company issued a disappointing outlook and quarterly sales figures.
The Nasdaq (COMP) fell 33 points, or 1.2%, with a 7% decline in shares of Dollar Tree (DLTR, Fortune 500) leading the index lower. HP is not included in the tech-heavy index.
Oil prices continued to climb, jumping more than 4% to $100 a barrel for the first time since October 2008 amid talk of production disruptions. The North African country is the first oil exporting nation to be affected by the unrest sweeping across the Arab world.
While Libya only contributes about 2% of global output, analysts are worried about the violence and chaos spreading to bigger exporting neighbors.
" Investors are watching what's happening across the Middle East, and waiting to see if more dominoes will fall," said Ron Kiddoo, chief investment officer at Cozad Asset Management.
Traders are keeping a particularly close eye on oil-rich Saudi Arabia, where King Abdullah announced a series of measures worth billions of dollars Wednesday in an effort to ward off the kind of revolts that have roiled the region.
World markets: European stocks closed lower. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 1%, the DAX in Germany slid 1.6% and France's CAC 40 edged lower by 0.8%.
Asian markets ended the session mixed. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong declined 0.4% and Japan's Nikkei fell 0.8%, while the Shanghai Composite ticked up 0.2%.
Companies: Shares of CBOE Holdings (CBOE), the parent company of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, jumped almost 2% after Reuters reported that the company is " open to 'strategic transactions" such as a sale or merger with another exchange operator." CBOE declined comment.
Shares of home improvement chain Lowe's (LOW, Fortune 500) declined 1% after the company reported quarterly earnings that beat analysts' expectations.
Economy: A report from the National Association of Realtors showed that existing home sales rose 2.7% to an annual rate of 5.36 million units.
Currencies and bonds: The dollar dropped versus the euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen.
The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury fell slightly, with the yield pushing up to 3.49% from Tuesday yield of 3.46%. |

THE DUBAI WASTELAND: 40% Of Buildings Are Vacant And Prices Keep Falling
Forty percent of the buildings in Dubai are vacant, according to Arabian Business.
For comparison only 28 percent of homes are vacant in America's ghost town, Detroit.
Now here's the scary part. Dubai hasn't stopped building:
As many as 48,000 homes will be completed in the next two years, increasing current supply by 12 percent, Landmark Advisory estimates.
Around 12 million sq ft of commercial space probably will be completed in Dubai this year, according to Jones Lang LaSalle Inc.
Real estate values have already fallen by over 60 percent since the Dubai crisis, according to Arabian Business. New properties coming online are expected to push prices down by another 10-15 percent, in a slump lasting another 18 months.
Last year Dubai office space was the fourth most expensive in the world, at $1,214 per square foot per year, according to Cushman & Wakefield. This year the emirate has fallen off the list, with declines of more than 30 percent.

These stocks , sadly, dont have good and strong 'long term investors' which is important factor for a company to be reputable and successful.
Are their underwriters have substantial interests as the companies have or anticipated?

Even Qaddafi Thinks The U.S. Tax System Is Bad For Business
Apparently the Libyan government prefers to invest in the UK over the U.S. because he thinks it's easier to do business there.
On January 20th, the U.S. Ambassador to Libya met with Mohamed Layas, the Head of the Libyan Investment Authority (the LIA, Libya's sovereign wealth fund).
Layas told the Ambassador that he prefers the UK because of the " ease of doing business" and the relatively " uncomplicated tax system."
Also interesting: LIA is battling with Lehman Brothers over a major investment that it says was " mismanaged" by the firm."
The following transmission is from a summary of what happened during the meeting, sent from the Embassy Tripoli to an unknown destination.
The transmission was recently sent from WikiLeaks to the Telegraph:
The Ambassador stressed the U.S. commitment to the bilateral relationship, including in trade and investment. He inquired about the state of the Libyan economy and the LIA's wealth in particular, given fallen oil prices and the recent world economic crisis.
Layas informed the Ambassador that Libya had " weathered the storm" of the economic crisis. He noted that the LIA operated with " high liquidity," and therefore was not concerned about the volatility of the oil market. " We have USD TRIPOLI 00000079 002 OF 002 32 billion in liquidity," he stated, " mostly in bank deposits that will give us good long-term returns."
He explained that several American banks are each managing USD 300-500 million of LIA's funds, and opined that the LIA was entangled in a legal disagreement with Lehman Brother's due to a major investment that was " mismanaged."
He said that the LIA has an office in London and preferred doing business there rather than in the United States, due to the " ease of doing business" in the UK and relatively " uncomplicated tax system." He noted that the LIA's primary investments are in London, in banking and residential and commercial real estate.

Those who have US$ or interested in US stocks, may buy those blue chips since US dollars is weaker that makes its stocks more attractive, and for that reasons, those Investors have gone back to US market and funds are flowed into their market.

I like RWS style, they pay bonus instead of paying dividends to share holders.
Workers such as 'Dealers' are their Important Assets.
freshmind ( Date: 24-Feb-2011 11:21) Posted:
| Ppl from finance and accounting background always interpret losses, assets and liabilities differently and that's why you will not employ an accountant to be a fund manager or else he/she may end up invest nothing end of the year. For businessman, a company with huge and rapid profit earning power is more important and the so call paper loss is only a process to suit to the accounting requirements and government regulation needs. |

I was thinking, Saudi king kakis and or his deputy prompted some good advise to him, after witnessing Middle East turmoil under current now creating havoc.
Now parting US$37 billion for up lifting it own citizens, too sudden, too much and too soon or just a bit late. All B'cos been terrified been too rich and doing too little for the poor.
Unlike Singapore, we keep highlighting of our widering income gap between the richest and the poorest. So we can do it, still more can be done to allevate and up lift provety. |
