This is one way to make it big in the stock market : 
  
1. Invest with margin and capital.
  
2. Buy a penny stock with great potential.
   Don't need to buy so many stocks.
  
3. Hold for long term but use technical
   analysis to sell off (before a major
   and not a minor correction) and buy
   back after it  corrects. If you
   use this way, your earnings actually
   become bigger.

This might be one of the many reason......Greenspan speaks

In a new book, the former Federal Reserve chairman reveals who were the smartest presidents he worked with and where some administrations have gone wrong.

By Daniel Okrent


With the first George Bush, Greenspan had what he calls a "terrible relationship."

He faults the administration of Bush II for a 璬ecision-making process driven entirely by political calculation.

P. bush is up against Greenspan, his party where his is belong with comment like "Bush and Republicans deserved to lose". Another Mahati in making...., perhap Bush did not take his 18 years policies effort in his book. Is all about $$$ and power.

Since retired early 2006 after 18 years as FED chief, he now run a private consulting firm; and his ONLY formal public role is adviser to British PM Gordon Brown...

(He spoken on know past history on past six presidents he served and predict future like god of fortune). He is getting old and his book has 531 pages to recount, while in office for 18 solid years. I can recall he is the oni one to speak then,..hmm..those day where everyone listen to him.

Just to share

My relative same sentiments as nervous buyer of the downtown $720,000 condo

Except the condo is closer to $850,000, 1 room and rented out at downtown too

Heared from him pretty nervous, sometimes fearful

One thing I learned from some article - better buy if you can pay off

Cannot pay off - don;t buy

OCBC Investment Research in ST today :

A property correction is going to take place

The question is how severe

Don;t believe when people tell you the property bull run can go on and on .............

They are in the related business or trying to sell U the condos, remember ???????

Don;t be trap, stocks generally can;t kill U, - but property can if things turn bad!

It is always healthy for property market  to cool off.....so that foreign money are trapped here after fuelling the speculation...

I guess if you did not buy property - then it is still ok lah

(Asiaone Report )

Correction in property coming - analyst 2008 - double the no of units coming out 2009 - 4 times the no of units I thinks those who bought are in more serious trouble than those in stocks !! Quote from one buyer of a small 1 room unit at $720,000 that he is pretty nervous )

Sub-prime loan meltdown in the US still unfolding......effecting Bank of England (BOE) to rescue a leading mortgage leader..Northern Rock, which had more then S$303 billion is assets. (almost 2.5 times it assets compare to Temasek holdings)  

Note: that it has no exposure to sub-prime loans, it proved very vulnerable to liquidity squeeze. The bail out is likely to make it hard for North Rock to remain independent in the long term which grew from its root as a building society to become the most efficient mortgage leader in UK

4 Bubbles;

1.Housing bubble-burst

2 Debt/ Credit bubble-burst

3.Employment bubble-burst

4 China stock and property bubble-still inflating.

The financial markets show denial of these problems-maybe this tine it is different?
