Last Friday closing Dow Jones > 14000 pts Bounce from 6th March 2009 @ 6627 pts .. > 100% Gain in 3 years and 10mths ..

Seeing DJIA charts for the past 35 years, my "own observation" expects DJIA will be reaching 19K- 20K pts in year 2018 ..
My exit plan is DJIA = 17.8K - 18K .. Ppls need to have DREAM, so that it will be realization and come true ..

My target for long-term holding ( high risk with moderate dividends based companies )

Bank Of America (BAC) double from early 2012 usd 5.80 to usd 11.30 in 1 year timeframe.

I'm seeing Warren Buffett hardly adjust his portfolios and hold stocks for very very long period? And do you know something,
HE ALWAYS SAID USA STOCKS ARE VERY CHEAP with his valuations.

For HK / SG Stocks, perhaps need to create another thread for its purpose.

With DREAM, you are able to set higher GOAL / Objective To achieve it, with certain tools / knowledge / wisdom ..etc..etc..

Preferred shares dividends are low ROI compared to the share prices in long term..

If we see his company Berkshire Hattaway + Coca-Cola holdings, it shares have been spilted many X .

Similiar to Genting when it 1st listed in KLSE(now Bursa), its IPO was rm 1.60 in year 1973 (if i'm not mistaken).
After many X splits, Genting worth almost RM 2M if u r still holding it very very long term.

Ppls tends to buy good CORP with compounded business inflation factor/ROI .

Foresee it as a temporary setback, as different countries got different regulations on anti-corruption, money laundering ..etc..etc
Most importantly, these casino policies are remains intact.

With festive CNY will be lasted for 15 days, i believe when these companies reports their financial earnings, it will uptrend again next qrtr.
Probability casino winning between HOUSE and PLAYER = more sided to HOUSE chance of winnings.

Investment = Long Term Prospects , unlike speculation/manipulator .

Greetings + G'Day,

University of Pennsylvania Wharton School's finance professor Jeremy Siegel forecasted DJIA Could Hit 17,000 pts in year 2013.

IMHO, QEs , bond purchase, long term low interest rate and weak USD may add profits to companies, give employments,
tax collection, good export than import, likely surplus than deficit, sequester ..etc..etc may boost up equity.

Going long and follow him?? Have a great day.

Greetings + G'Day,

The market is in a BULL trend boosted by upbeat earnings and economic reports. Uncle Ben continuous support of the FED's stimulus policy (QE, bond-buyback, long term low interest rate and weak USD). However, his contract term ends on 31st Jan 2014 and news said he won't think abt extend his role. Hope his successor will maintain and sustain stimulus policy which is good in boost up equity. http://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/...rd/bernanke.htm

Traders had expected to see the market show more anxiety around the sequester. The sequester is an automatic regimen of spending cuts set to go into effect Friday if Congress and the White House do not work out a compromise deal. I think the sequester is a net positive to cut spending and reduce deficits.

Have a great day.

BNM Reserves amounted to RM429.1 billion (equivalent to USD140.3 billion) as at 15 February 2013.
The reserves position is sufficient to finance 9.5 months of retained imports and is 4.6 times the
short-term external debt.

Greetings + G'Day,

Citigroup ( C ) was upgraded and is in 52 weeks high..
National Bank of Greece(NBG) was at lowest usd 1.10 yesterday after buyout EuroBank by
issuing/raising new 58 NBG shares in exchg for 100 Eurobank shares. Layoff 2000 workers ( 15% of total workforces ). NBG historical lowest and highest in 52 weeks were 1.10 and 3.58 respectively, while all-time high was
usd 57 on 2nd May 2008, b4 reverse split 5 => 1 on 25th Nov 2011. Target to hold and keep until price reaches usd 18 ?

Have a great day.

Many upside calls in month of Apr and May.. Then, later got downside put in summer season? Historical Trends?

17 out of 18 big banks passed Fed's Stress Test.. More Dividend Payout and Stock Buyback soon.

Long-Term low interest rate, QE, bond-purchase, low currency exchg, sequester ..etc helps to boost exports, employment, surplus tradings, manufacturing/purchasing/consumer confidence index?

Have a great day.

Beginning of day light saving.. Market starts at 9:30pm instead..

Will the all-time DJIA record will uptrend this week, as manufacturing data will pump in?

i think economy in USA is gradually better and better with QE, long-term low interest rate(good for export/trade surplus), bond purchase
and lower USD.. It helps employment, manufacturing, consumer + spending indexes..

IMHO, i think slow bull market is on the track will lasted till year end DJIA 15K-17K and big bull in year 2014(Big Chinese Lunar HORSE)
will push market higher.. Anyway, i buy more when there is an opportunity and hold it as long as i could, as the ROI is excellent in long track.

Let see how it goes.. Buy when it is on dip. MGM
