The year was 1995, economic boom had brought prosperity for South East Asia's 5 tigers, Malaysia being one of them. With constant and growing foreign inflows, Malaysia could finally develop itself and crept closer to its dream of "Wawasan 2020". Free from political turmoil and boasting one of the cheapest labor in the region, it seemed wise for foreign investors to invest for a big profit with minimum risk.

In 1997, one currency speculator didn't think so. He alone had brought down the infamous BoE and now his sights were fixed on the South East Asia big 5. At first Thailand came crumbling down, devaluing its baht and soon the disease spreaded. Singapore wasn't spared either. The big 5 economies of South East Asia felled to one currency speculator, whose name is as poisonous as the name Judas.

Fast forward to 2008, the signs are similar, it look similar, smells familiar, and one might ask, "are we going to see a repeat of 1997?" Korean Central Bank lost its war against currency speculators; the won severely beaten up. Thai had to devalue, along with Vietnam. Inflation reigns high among all emerging nations while growth has stagnated. The central banks hands are tied, there's nothing they can do as they have to maintain price stability.

In the morning, Asian central banks furiously selling the dollar, but by the time London and New York market opens, the dollar further strengthens. Malaysia Central bank has lost billions overnight, trying to defend the ringgit. Therefore my friends, it's only time when Malaysia had no choice but to forgo intervention. IF that happens, capital flight is a certaintly; as if that hasn't happened already.

So my friends, why is KLCI heading down towards 900 points? Answer is very simple; because 1997 is repeating itself.

Checkmate Malaysia, checkmate.

AdamG1981,

It is NOT a repeat of 1997. It will be WORSE than 1997 and we may NEVER recover. The SIMPLE reason is we NO LONGER have the spare OIL MONEY to bailout like in 1997.

One thing for sure is...that its no where near 1997...That's the WHOLE ASIA...Now its only Malaysia, at least you have neighbouring countries buying your products and services.......Back then....you have all your products and services rejected by neighbouring countries as they can't even hep themselves.

repcoyeoh,

It is NOT only Malaysia.

No. It will be WORSE. It is a GLOBAL recession this time. It is NOT Asia only. With USA going into recession and Europe is about the same, how could you believe that it is NOT worse than 1997?

Hi guys

Do you think is worth to get AIG share right now? I m a noob on this but someone in my family planning to borrow money to invest in this share and i m bit concerned with it.

Thanks

melt,

1) Never gamble with the money that you CANNOT afford to lose.

2) What if AIG goes bankrupt??

3) Even if AIG does not go bankrupt, with borrowed money, you do not have the ability to wait for the recovery. What if it takes a few years??

If you can afford lose that kind of money, go ahead. It will be a good lesson.

I was not smart enough. I lost half of my life savings during the Telecom bubble. That was a very expensive and painful lesson.

With the current inflation rate, holding cash is actual losing 4%. Those holding cash by borrowing is the king now.

smile93,

You do know that the bank can cancel the line of credit and ask you to pay back any time for some kind of loan.

The bailout will pass, if not expect WACHOVIA, National City to collapse. And then expect worldwide bank runs.

Is the Congress that stupid?


Added on September 27, 2008, 4:08 amAlright, Wachovia and Citigroup announcing a possible merger deal. Dow rallied in the last 1/2 hr of trading day. YUP, buy on rumor, sell on the news!

Watch Monday peeps, super rally coming. (fally to be exact)

AdamG1981,

Do not be surprise if the bailout plan is delayed again. There are A LOT of anger on the main street. And, with Washington Mutual successfully sold off, people will ask why bailout is needed.

Think about this. If you are a congressman or senator and you vote for the bailout, you will be voted out of congress on 11/4 due to the anger by voters. Now, if you delay and do nothing, you will suffer none of the backlash from the voters. There is VERY LITTLE incentive for the US Government to do something before the November election. It is SAFER politically to do NOTHING.

And, people do not believe that it will be 700 billions anyhow. Some estimated this to be 3 trillions.

Understood, but the market will crash if the government decides not to do anything. Paulson is just buying time...once the bailout is approved i will sell all my equities.

BLACK OCTOBER is coming...

See you Dow Jones 9000!

AdamG1981,

1) So what if the market crashes?? Is that bad?? Many people on the main street has NO SAVINGS. Hence, they have NO INVESTMENT. They do not care that much.

2) Even assuming 700 billions, that is a few K per tax payer /voters. Why do American want to pay that much to bailout greedy investors?

3) The BIGGEST problem of all is TRUST. You have a bunch of people that failed to do their job and now you want to give them $700 billions to play with little to no oversight. People are not that STUPID.

At this stage, people in the main street PREFER a market crash and wipe out all those greedy investors. Let the market decides.

And, only the top 25 banks are having problem. The smaller 3000 community banks are doing okay. The bailout will save the big GREEDY bank and kill the small banks that are doing the RIGHT thing.

Do not assume bail out will be approved. Right now, people believe a market crash is good and acceptable.

No, they won't foolproof accurate either. But discipline is very important in term of speculation purposes which those technical indicators are essential to help one on discipline wise, be it a wrong or right signal.

Btw, US senate approved the 700 billion bailout plan already. But equities market hardly take a cue from it, instead market sliding down after the news.
Now next ultimate question for equities market is, what next?
Bailout plan can be successful or not, how it be implemented? It really help the credit crisis?
There are many many doubt on this issue now.

Cherroy,

1) It is a 60 trillions problem. So, why would ANYONE think that 700 billions is enough?? There is NOT ENOUGH money in the world to cover this problem.

2) The BUBBLE has to burst. Then, a bottom can be found and recovery is possible. The HOUSING MARKET bottom is not there yet.

3) Bailout will fail. The KEY question is whether the failure will be visible before 11/4 election. If it does, everyone that voted for this bill will be kicked out of congress.

All,

Pretty advanced stuff. The bottom line is the bailout plan will make US economy even worse at the short run and make many more US business bankrupt. Now, since the bailout will not work anyhow, it will make thing worse in the long run too.

Prepare for a VERY BAD winter.
