Welcome back Sifu Gark!

Still cannot understand why EPF is so eager to have a vote in the CIMB-MSBS-RHB merger, facing some resistance from KLSE.

Is EPF against the merger or is this one smart way of getting the rule in their favour for future use?

CIMB is under Ah Jib's brother and I assume what the 2 brothers do will be in mutual agreement. Why then is EPF so eager to have a say in this merger, as if it is going to oppose it?

Or is EPF having a different vision than Ah Jib and brother?

Maybe I am seeing this from the wrong peek hole?

Thanks.

Noted and thanks.

Yes, I have been using the wrong peek hole! Ha.

Impressive! Well done!

Thanks. Interesting.

Mentioned about winter. But that depends on which hemisphere one is referring to. I assume world economic is dominated by the northern hemisphere.

Mentioned "rising interest rate" results in "deflation". I thought it should be inflation as the higher rate will result in higher business cost and thus higher prices.

But with time, the prices will be too high resulting in declining business and later business closure. And thus comes deflation?

Scary to hear about the :
* economic Perfect Storm comparison.
* similarity of the 3 countries (UK, Germany & France) in 1914 and the 3 countries (US, China & Japan) in 2014.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheerio.

What is the next KLCI strong support?

1627?

I assume you meant whether I am "man" enough to buy at 1627. Right?

My personal view is, if it breaks the 1627 support, then I think it is a free fall. After that I will be "man" enough to buy. Ha.

Cheerio.

I am hoping for 300 like in the 1997/98. But don't think that will happen again.

800 is good enough for me.

Then I will be a very brave man! Ha.

Is the huge drop normal in Russia?

Or is this the start/trigger for the rest?

Heard on the radio about copper price being a leading economy indicator and thus looked up on the web to find out more.

A recent divergence between stock economy and copper price. That may be due to QE, artificially jacking up the stock market.



Past 2 years negative trend - something bad is already building up behind the QE cover?

Cheerio.
