Las Vegas Sands(LVS) price was in 5 year high.. Aborted usd30B EuroVegas casino development plan
in Madrid as Spain unemployment reaches 26% ..Use its cashflow for Japan and S.Korea casino
licenses /business expansion if parliament legalised casino bill in Q1 2014 or perhaps, payout special
dividend with its huge cashflow.
Qrtrly dividend 2012 = 25cents. Special Dividend = usd 2.75 . Total dividend for 2012 = usd 3.75 per share.
Qrtrly dividend 2013 = 35cents. Special Dividend = waiting for announcement.

FYI Only.
Some HK shares have been up at least 3 - 7 folds since year 2010.. E.g Wynn Macau Ltd (1128.HK) / MGM Chn
(2282.HK) - 3 fold , Macau Legend (1680.HK) - 4 fold, Sands Chn (1928.HK) - 6 fold , GALAXY Ent(0027.HK) - almost 7 fold ..etc.. So sorry.. Wrong forum to discuss HK shares per thread topic.

Old concept = Buy in Oct Sell in Apr ??
IMHO, Taper of QE topic will be discussed on 17th-18th Dec 2013 ( Last FED meeting of year 2013 and
also last chapter for Fed chairman).

Taper QE/Bond = GOOD, as USA economy can sail by itself without any help..
No taper QE/Bond = also good, as usually QE helps equity/employment ..etc to move uptrend.
QE or Not, doesn't matter for Super BULL to move even higher.Investment is for long-term..

Yup DJIA will be closed on 25th Dec and 1st Jan 2014.

1. Usually 30% withholding tax applies for dividends.
2. Usually, keep in the trading account and buy again when there is a intrinsic value.. Email TD
Ameritrade Customer Service for # 2 and # 3 for enquiry

Fill up W8BEN FORM

Fees are depending on the brokers and service value-added provided. Some broker charge much lower fees
and some bank got better deals... Perhaps, if the usd22 charges shown up in broker's account, hence
u need to email the broker for detail explanation of usd22 charges.. Otherwise, if the usd22 charges
shown up in M2U account, check it out with Maybank.

FB can be in DJIA in the future too if price up more than usd300 ? Or perhaps, in Russell 2000 index
if the price value drop below usd 5 ?

Aim LVS at usd 200 to decide whether to sell or not? Or perhaps, hold it as long you could like WB II?
Previous record break was usd 148 (Oct 2007) (without Marina Bay Sands + new/latest Macau resorts )..
Sands Chn (1928.HK) jump from IPO HKD 10.88 (Dec 2009) to today closing hkd 62.05 ( > 5 folds ).

Happy New Year 2014 and hope this bullish trend will continue in year 2014 - 2016 ?
What is your own prediction and analysis for USA Stocks in coming months or generally in year 2014?
Records were created and History written in many books/journals/magazine ..etc
for DJIA/Nasdaq/S & P 500/Nikkei/Russell ..etc..etc in year 2013 ..

Ppls can go to the company's websites directly or other "free" agent for subscription by email/weblink
on the company basic financial informations.. No extra value from the reports.. In some broker's websites,
the moving averages (50/200 days) alert triggering or price/volume reaches certain % or abnormal
insider trading deal ..etc ..etc will notify user with email/social networking will be more efficient and effective..

This ValueLine subcription cost almost usd 600 per year and you charge rm 12 per company is cheap for those whom
lazy to seek Uncle Google for help..

But BZH, BAC, MPEL, LVS, MGM, WYNN ..etc were in record HIGH .

MGM, BAC and C reaches record HIGH again..

With QE and low interest rate, equity will continually improve all functions in year 2014(hopefully),
providing the organization has a good financial ratios, growth, organize strategy goals/mission ..etc

QE Tapering is GOOD , as USA economy can sail without any HELP.
Employment, Housing, Consumer Confidence, GDP, M1/M2/M3 money supply ..etc

DJIA and S & P Index = down, BUT
C, MGM, LVS, ETFC, MPEL, LYG ..etc breaks price record HIGH again

U Invest in Assets or Earnings??
Value Investor - Quantitative or Qualitative Approach?

Many ppls expects a correction of 10% or more in 1st Qrtr 2014 after logging more than 30% in year 2013..
Why follow majority analyst/ppl's view/prediction? DARE to be exceptional ..Be greedy while others are fearful??
Be Exceptional provides a revolutionary approach in knowledge development.

Taper/Stop QE = Good, as USA economy will sail into the deep sea by its own self, without any supporting
policy/help.. Low interest rate is also good too for country economy in USA/Japan/UK ..

As long as QE is still continue and with record near-zero interest rate, there is a probability of
re-run repeat of year 2013.. Even without the QE, the USA economy is in
better shape compared to last 4-5 years, and it will grow by itself without any life oxygen(No OE).
IMHO, Holding Power is one of the key tools in investment..

No sure abt TD Ameritrade.. But need to have SWIFT CODE of the bank, bank account number
and trading account number(optional). Another important matter is the First NAME, Middle NAME
and LAST NAME (SURNAME) in yr application.. USA's family NAME/Surname is at the last..
If the BANK/Broker officers saw yr passport first/last name is different sequence per yr application(USA format),
it may reject it too.. It is applicable too when you sell yr share and want/need to wire back
the money.. Usually it won't..
