oh...KO hit my alert price....buy kah tak buy?.....what you think? 

I guess the slowly 10b reduce per meeting can be expected if economy continues slowly recover like it did recently. Fed has no gut to cut sharply as to be blamed and cursed by the world if they did. As bond yield has already up to reflect the QE reducing situation, a mild rate hike (although many think that it will be unlikely to happen this year or even next year) may not be as deadly as it might be. 

1750 coming...

wow....

It is the quantitative easing that is pumping the asset bubbles outside of USA.  I *think* the first few things will happen when the fed stops the quantitative easing, the bubbles will burst -- slowly depends on the asset class.  Financial markets are most liquid, it will go first.  It will get to real estate eventually.  If you think your million dollar properties can continue going up in price, think again. 

Once Fed starts to raise interest rates, it will be ugly I think.  I don't think it will happen that soon -- the earliest is likely end of 2014.  Likely mid to end of 2015.  Liquidity will disappear in emerging markets quickly unless interest rate is raised.  If central bank decides to raise interest rates, all in the sudden your cheap loans are more expensive to service.  Real estate price will come down.  I don't think this will happen overtime -- but slowly.   

I have to admit that I'm biased against real estate.  I witnessed what happened to my dad during the financial crisis in 97/98.  At one point he has over 20 properties.  He kept buying.  He once told me if anything happens, he could sell a few properties to pay off all the loans if need to.  When the crisis hit, he waited a few months and then started trying to sell a few properties.  Nothing was moving at that time.  He couldn't sell but at the same time he couldn't afford to service the debts.  Banks are forcing the sales at super discount.  Selling a few are not enough to pay back all the properties he owned.  Eventually we lost ALL.  Sorry for the grim story on CNY. 

Happy CNY.

Sifu, do you know SOX standard make a lot of foreign investor stop invest in US?

SOX require external auditor to evaluate internal control of every company which cost a lot of money need to pay by company. Thus, it reduce profit of company.

Yes for investor protection, but No for investor profit, especially for those mid-capital company. However, US standard is different to Malaysia and UK, not so sure how well the investor protection work.

Why it is NO for investor profit? The purpose of the established bill is to protect investor against manipulation of management from company to cheat investor's money. Pertaining to do invest in the US, your should well prepare to understand GAAP, ie how US system evaluate whether company make profit. It is just like when you play game monopoly, you are playing it while follow rule. Hope my little piece of advice would benefit you in investing US
