The reason being is that when Dow is red, the funds are invested in Malaysia  instead

can some1 tell me how a individual foreigner investor invest in india stock market -Bombay Stock Exchange ??
i can't find a broker that provide services to buy India's stock....

Gov need to act fast, can't keep on dragging on this issue, as businesses need clear signal and situation to make for future planning.

U.S Feds warn; interest rate will increase sooner or later!

LOL, i'm not brainwashed. You could be.

The money spend (budget) on transportation is smaller. Take Penang for an example. How much is the budget allocated for improving public transport?

Say its 2billion. After contract award, straight away 10% goes to someone pocket.

So how much left?

All parties related want to earn on that. So, in actual fact how much left ? Hard to guess, right?

I involved in one of the "big" project and know very well how much actual fund left for the project.

So, you cannot compare Malaysia and Singapore. Malaysia "Boleh" sure lost to Kiasuland.

A silver lining here; CI might not be impacted so badly because as the price of crude goes up, the price of palm oil goes up (substitute). And with more soft loans being approved, and more "benefits" coming, the market might see a little upside.

True or not, i do not know. Only the flip flop BN government does.

I can tell, this round inflation is much more severe than 1997. 

High oil prices - Good for industrialized nations? Bad for emerging markets?

For years, emerging markets have enjoyed low priced labor due to subsidized oil. With India, Malaysia raising fuel prices (China might follow suit after olympics), the comparative advantage is no longer there. In some sense, the playing field now is LEVELED; and outsourcing does not make any sense when cost of logistics is very much increased. Therefore, cost of manufacturing of industrialized nations might be cheaper in the medium run.

Why do the industrialized nations hold an advantage? Because industrialized nations are a step ahead in the conquest of being energy efficient. The emerging market has yet to develop energy efficient technology such as the capability to build nuclear reactors, carbon capture power plants, etc.

Hence, more and more investors will withdraw their investments from Asia, and definitely buying US equities since return is safer and yield is definitely larger in the shorter term.

Cannot be unexpected my friend.. Yesterday down so badly, today must rebound a bit before seeking a new direction.. Ppl kutip cheapened stocks early morning leh...

Well, anything could happen. It's just my prediction anyway, market doesn't 100% will follow it
Usually i depend on chart to build my market strategy, but seem trend is not that good now.
Somemore, next week will be another turnpoint where big US investment house like Goldman & Morgan Stanley will release its quarter report.
Given Lehman results not quite impressive/BAD, it will affect investor's confidence on next week report.

Seem you have bought AirAsia-CD at half cent, now price is 1cent liao. Sell tommorow & can gain double fold liao..hehe...
Dun be greedy wor. Sell while you still can.

sometimes, when you have Gangrene (is a complication of necrosis (i.e., cell death) characterized by the decay of body tissues, which become black and malodorous).

The best solution is NOT to treat the wounded area. But to amputate the area so it won't spread to other part of the body.

Who benefited from the war from Iraq? Its all the defense company linked to d*** Cheney. Check haliburton. This is cronyism at its very very best.

Kuok Khoon Kuan (Chief Executive Officer) was disposing

abandon the maybulk ship!!! even CEO has lost confidence!!!!

But still if they don't add on new ship then I would worry about the company revenue in the future, after recently sold some of their old fleet.

I understand it, but with reducing fleet will only mean lower revenue or sales for the futures which won't be good for future profitability. This can't be a long term solution or for long term company growth prospect.

i read their earnings report for Q1 '08 is lower than Q1'07 also rite?

even though selling ships, their profit is less...

how how how....
