Folks, optimism is denial, so face the facts and move on. It is wise to direct your anger towards problems not people, to focus your energies on answers not excuses.

Beware of the little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.

Mark Matthews, head of research, Asia at Bank Julius Baer, agrees that the recent rally is likely to fade given economic fundamentals in domestically-driven markets like India & Indonesia remain weak. Malaysia?

So how now? Well folks, only AA share price will fly! Hahahahahahahah!!

According to Uwe Parpart, head of research at Reorient Financial Markets, the recent recovery is a "very temporary pause" in the de-rating of emerging market assets.

"Keep in mind that in reality, no liquidity has actually been withdrawn, it's just been just talked about," said Parpart.

"After the FOMC meeting, when tapering actually starts happening and extends over a period, between now and next July, under those circumstances there's no question emerging markets will come under pressure," he said.

So folks, how will your stocks fair during that actual tapering period? Ringgit dip while interest rate up!

Investors have short memories!

KC LOH is Callme777, same person! Heheheheh!!

So folks, a cheap sale for the stock is also in the making! No free sale meh? Hahahahahaha

Folks, why are airlines rolling out a range of free & lower fares and aggressive seat sales? Desperate to fill up the aircraft so that the load factor will look impressive?

Hmmmm...!! Heheheheheheh!!

Folks, why are airlines rolling out a range of free & lower fares and aggressive seat sales?

Can the share price movement tell you the health of a company?

Hahahahahahahah!!

Airlines seat sale heats up in the challenging 2H13 as some capacity increases from other airlines in the Asia Pacific markets.

High fuel costs may have dented the airlines' profits and airlines may now expects full year net profit to be at the lower end.

Airlines had noticed a dip in forward fares and yields for 2H13 which was due to not just fiercer competition, but also because of a weak currency exchange rate. Folks, weak forex was the number one reason for the weaker profit for airlines. So how?

While the market is likely to see near-term relief once the much-discussed tapering actually begins, that calm may soon evaporate into further rounds of second-guessing economic data and their impact on additional tapering moves by the central bank.

How stocks may react to the Federal Reserve decision?

3. Sell off on a big taper? If the taper is larger than expected, stocks would drop.

But then the market would get used to this decision would stabilize in the near term.

How stocks may react to the Federal Reserve decision?

2. Pop then drop if taper delayed? If the central back holds off on tapering, some strategists see stocks rallying for a few hours, then selling off since such a decision would indicate the economy can’t yet handle a reduction in stimulus measures.

“There might be a short-lived pop, but I believe once the market digests it, (stocks) would then sell off,” said Doug Coté, chief market strategist at ING U.S. Investment Management.

How stocks may react to the Federal Reserve decision?

1. A rally if expectations met? Stocks could deliver a “buy the news” rally if the Fed meets expectations. Consensus forecasts call for a $10 billion or $15 billion cut in the Fed’s $85 billion in monthly bond purchases.

Trading below all given TPs. 3Q13 earnings in the red? So folks, what your fair value for AA?

09/09/2013 TP rm3.78 MIDF
22/08/2013 TP rm3.94 RHB
22/08/2013 TP rm3.78 MIDF

22/08/2013 TP rm4.20 ALLIANCE
16/08/2013 TP rm3.94 RHB

After the not so promising 2Q13 earnings, the share price took a beating & the owners acquired 1,000,000 shares on 22/08/2013 at Rm2.796 and that it.

Till todate, the owners have not been seen buying back their share aggressively like last year. But why?

Could the 2H13 earnings be not so good affected by the turmoil in the EMs? Hmmmmmmmmmm time will tell!

The Clark International Airport is preparing for the entry of long-haul flights of Emirates Airlines and Qatar Airways next month, despite the temporary suspension of local and international flights of AA Philippines.

Clark International Airport Corp. will pursue an expansion plan, despite the decision of AA Philippines to suspend operation in the former American airbase.

Hmmmmmm.....!!

Folks, why the rally didn't continue? Could the 3Q13 earnings be bad? Do you dare to take that risk buying & holding at a high price?

Remember folks, the turmoil in EMs started in April 2013 till todate. AA 2Q13 earnings was affected indirectly by the selldown earlier.

So the bigger question, how will AA fair for the coming 3Q13? Investors have short memories!

Petitioning Ms. Aireen Omar

Air Asia: Remove the "Processing Fee" imposed for online bookings via credit card

Will the rally continue?

Folks, the Fed won't be tapering because economic conditions have improved that much, but because of what Bernanke has described as the costs and risks to the markets of prolonged bond-buying.

Asian shares decline ahead of Fed meeting; Shanghai skids 2%. KLCI? Hmmm...investors have short memories!

AirAsia has released its 1 Million FREE Seats teaser campaign which will be fully announced on 17 September 2013. There are 1 million FREE seats available for this AirAsia promotion.

Yes folks, free seats by AA. Well done AA! Thank you!

AA faced another setback last week, when its affiliate AA Philippines announced that it would be suspending flights out of Clark in a bid to support its newly acquired, loss-making Zest Air.

AA had earlier announced the deferment of AA Indonesia's ipo, which had been in the works for two years, till next year, and seen the dissolution of its partnership with Japan's ANA in June this year.

What next? Still remember the perfect storm, folks? Investors have short memories! Heheheheheheh!!

Folks, five years after Lehman's failure nearly toppled the financial system, the Fed is preparing to take a step back from one of the extraordinary programs it launched to save the economy, a move that has been and could continue to be wrenching for markets.

Are you ready for Fed to taper? Are EMs ready? Is AA ready?

Folks, Asian equity markets fell on Tuesday amid anticipation of a reduction in U.S. monetary stimulus.

"There is a feeling that markets globally are gunning for a correction," Evan Lucas, market strategist at IG wrote in a note.

So will AA be able to ride the storm & stay above Rm2.60 this week? Remember folks, 51% of AA shares were held by foreigners. Buy low & sell high. Careful now!

Folks, is the EM currency plunge over?

The recent crash in EM currencies may fool investors into thinking now is a good time to invest, but HSBC has warned the currencies could suffer further falls.

"Do not buy an emerging market currency simply because it is cheap. It can become cheaper still," David Bloom, HSBC's Global Head of FX Strategy said.

Remember folks, Fed Chairman triggered a steep drop in EM assets in May when he first signaled the bank would start reducing the amount of financial assets it buys in the markets.

The bank remains most concerned about the Indian rupee, which "has only inched into undervaluation territory". The Indonesian rupiah is even more worrying and still overvalued, it said.

So how about Malaysia? Hmmmmmm... careful now!

AA fail to close above the MYR2.60 resistance level this week. Will AA test the critical support level at Rm2.45?

If yes & broken then the next downside support will be at Rm2.33 followed by panic herd mentality selling level. What will that be? Make your wild guess, folks! Heheheheheh!!

Cheers & ciao folks!

The ringgit was traded sharply lower against the US dollar in the early session today in line with losses in the regional equities markets ahead of the US Federal Reserve's monetary meeting next week. .

The ringgit was quoted at 3.2830/2860 for a US dollar from 3.2760/2800 yesterday. Will ringgit closed lower? Hmmmmmm.....!! Hahahahahahah!!

Wakakakakakakakak..... Cheers..... TGIFriday!!

Wish you all the best, my freind! Cheers!

Folks my question ealry this week. Will the rally continue? Investors have short memories!

Folks, the dollar rose on Friday after Japan's Nikkei newspaper said U.S. President Barack Obama will name former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, while gold and oil declined as the Syrian chemical weapons crisis abated.

The greenback gained 0.4 percent to 99.950 yen, pulling away from a one week low touched overnight as investors fretted over not whether but by how much the U.S. central bank will cut its monthly stimulus at next week's policy meeting.

Against a basket of major currencies, the dollar was up 0.3 percent, also bouncing from a two week trough reached on Thursday. Dow in the red tonite? Time will tell! Hahahahahahah!!

Folks, protecting your previous choices or decisions, which is often disastrous for your investments is dangerous.

It is truly hard to take a loss & accept that you made the wrong choices or allowed someone else to tell them for you. Maybe someone is feeling the pain at this moment!

But if your investment is no good, or sinking fast, the sooner you get out of it and into something more promising, the better. So folks, make the trend your freind! Hahahahahahaha!!

A report in a Japanese newspaper that ex-U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers will be named as Ben Bernanke's replacement as chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve sent the dollar up Friday morning.

Summers, has regularly questioned the wisdom of the U.S. central bank's signature bond buying program to stimulate the economy.

Summers has also dismissed concerns brought up by Warren Buffett and others that ending QE could shock the markets. So how will the markets respond if he is appointed as Fed Chairman? Careful now!

Larry Summers, former chief economic adviser to President Barack Obama, appears increasingly likely to be his choice to succeed Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chief, according to U.S media.

Even though he has drawn criticism, notably from Obama's own Democratic Party, for being too cozy with Wall Street, Summers, 58, has the president's confidence after helping to lead the country out of recession, The Washington Post says, citing people close to Obama.

Investors who love QE should fear Larry Summers as the White House might be about to add a prominent quantitative easing skeptic to the Federal Reserve. Careful now, folks!

Wakakakakkakaka!!

Folks, in order to avoid the trap like buying at a higher price, you need to remain flexible in your thinking, and open to new sources of information and the reality that any company can be here today and gone tomorrow. Any manager can disappear too, for that matter. Even a small leak can sink a GREAT ship. Am I right, folks?

So best is to buy low & sell higher!

Folks, if you think of a certain company as successful, you may be too confident that its stocks are a good bet. This preconception may be totally incorrect in the prevailing situation (perfect storm) or at some point in the future.

For example, the German consumer electronics company Grundig, which was the major European supplier in the 1970s, was wiped out in the 1980s by competition from Japan.

Remember folks, buy low and sell high! Don't be like an idiot buying at highest prices and frantically trying to avoid realizing losses. Just a self-delusion, folks! What a pity! Hahahahahahahah!!

Remember folks five years ago, Wall Street is telling the world not to worry, right before Lehman declared bankruptcy.

Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy on Sept. 15, 2008. That, in turn, triggered the near collapse of the entire financial system: The stock market quickly entered into one of its worst two-month stretches in U.S. history.

Five years after Lehman, is another crisis possible? So will history repeat itself! careful folks! Heheheheheheh!!

Folks, don't let emotions, the wrong perceptions, self-delusion, frantically trying to avoid realizing losses, desperately seeking the comfort of other victims, shutting out reality and more can all cost you dearly.

The fact is the cost environment remained hostile throughout the year with the weakness of the Malaysia ringgit and continued high oil prices being the key challenges.

Worst still as reported in 2nd quarter earnings, forward loads for the remaining months of the 3Q13 are lower than in the prior year with base fares slightly lower than the prior year. Careful now!

1. Philippines AirAsia is temporarily suspending several local and international flights as it diverts resources to unit Zest Airways, after a surprise multi-day suspension of Zest in August resulted in the latter taking a “significant” hit, both in terms of finances and reputation, a top official said.

2. The plans are part of broader efforts by the company, the domestic unit of Malaysia’s AirAsia Bhd, to “rationalise” its routes, meaning cutting back or halting flights with “low” passenger loads, Hontiveros said.

3. But these efforts have been complicated by the financial impact on Zest following the airline’s suspension by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines on the evening of August 16 until August 19.

4. The suspension caused at least 300 million pesos (US$6.8 million) in expenses and foregone revenues during the four-day period, in addition to ###penalties slapped by authorities in China, a source with knowledge of the matter said previously.

5. ###The airline’s reputation also took a hit, as thousands of passengers were stranded and had to be refunded or rebooked. Passenger volume has dipped since the incident, Hontiveros said.

Folks, I'm just sharing informations which will affect the market directly & indirectly your stock.

If you invest a few moments in reading these comments & thinking, you will be rewarded. Have you, folks? Hehehehehehe!!

Remember folks, the wrong perceptions, self-delusion, frantically trying to avoid realizing losses, desperately seeking the comfort of other victims, shutting out reality and more can all cost you dearly!

Today is the last day of trading for the week. Monday is a public holiday. KLSE will only be opened on tuesday.

A perfect storm is in the making. Still holding? Did you sell? Did you buy more? Careful now! Hahahahahahah!!

Perfect Storm

So our current situation sees fundamental and technical factors coming together to create The Perfect Storm.

If everything goes well, that is, Syria hands over its weapons, the Fed does "taper light" and Congress and the White House can come to a quick conclusion on the US debt ceiling debate, it will be a solid green light for the stock market.

On the other end of the spectrum, military action in Syria, an adverse reaction to withdrawal of easy money by the Fed or a standoff between the House and the White House over the debt ceiling lead to potentially rough waters and big waves ahead for global financial markets.

Anywhere in between generates large primary and secondary swells on an already turbulent sea.

Within the next two to four weeks, the contours and impact of the perfect storm will become more defined and will likely set the stage for a significant market move in one direction or other.

Will you be ready? IMF is! So am I! Heheheheheheh!!

Perfect Storm

Finally, another round in the US debt-ceiling battle is set to start with the US government potentially running out of money sometime between mid October and mid December when its extraordinary funding measures reach their limits.

The last debt ceiling battle occurred in the summer of 2011, and from late July to September, the markets shed more than 20% as Congress and the White House wrangled over a settlement.

With the US House seemingly intent on tying a lift in the debt ceiling to limits on Obamacare, this round of debate could be even more rancorous.

Invest a few moments in reading these comments & think. You will be rewarded. Have you, folks? Hahahahahaha!!

Perfect Storm

Sept 17-18 brings the long-awaited Federal Reserve meeting, Bernanke press conference and the anticipated beginning of the end for quantitative easing.

The impact of pulling the easy money out, as highlighted in the previous meetings were met with less than a joyous reaction by the stock markets!

So still holding on tight to your share? Didn't listen to my calls to sell? Careful now as your money now can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you the kind of misery you prefer.

Hahahahahahahah!!

Perfect Storm

Syria remains a fast-moving and fluid situation, as first the "fear" trade took hold, sending equity markets lower and gold and oil higher.

Then, virtually overnight, a diplomatic solution is now on the table and the "fear trade” is currently unwinding, at least for the time being, as world governments explore the Russian proposal for disarming Syria of its chemical weapons.

Expect the twists and turns of this drama to continue whipping financial markets over the next few weeks.

One way to end up with $1 million is to start with $2 million and use technical analysis. Remember folks, KLSE is close on Monday! Hahahahahahah!!

A Perfect Storm!

Syria, next week's Fed meeting and the upcoming debt ceiling battle set up a perfect storm for global financial markets.

IMF is ready! I'm ready! You are ready for it? Hahahahahah!!

Asian equity markets were cautious on the final trading day of the week as investors booked profits after the recent market run-up and as caution set in before the Federal Reserve's policy-setting meeting next week.

Remember folks, today is the last day of trading for the week. Monday is a public holiday. KLSE will only be opened on tuesday. Still remember the perfect storm in the making?

How will KLSE perform today? Up or down? Investors have short memories!
