I don't think the market will rally. This is a period of low volatility that usually comes after huge spikes. It will fall again. | ||||

i think that market will still rally. His content of the speech doesn't matter. He wants the market to go up , it will. He's still Bernanke afterall  Somemore its the end of 7th month already.. you can say that its a stupid belief but i will still believe.. haha.

did he? wat we saw on friday is market 'reacting' positively to his speech (but u look into his speech, is there anything good other than saying tat he's still optimistic about the economy despite slow-zero growth? - what do u expect him to say? " yes we are in a double dip" ? < - if he does, tat means the end of 2011 cause the market will just tank instantly) and another question is.. u sound like he has the ability to " order" the market to chiong or tank ? @_@ u might be right tat all will be good news but i am just giving my opinion.. cause august data might not be good.. sept/oct i have no idea not a call for buy/sell,

Fed can increase money supply, but he cannot force ppl to borrow, even if the rate is zero, ppl still got to repay it back, and with sentiment and confident so low, even bank are not lending, due to risk in the mkt. they rather deposit with CB to earn low rate. You heard Tong Tna sau , why he enter the President race, becos of the economy. from what he say, we can derive that he is looking at something worse to come. and personnlly think the worse is yet to be. My suggestion.............disclaimer. If you will to compare now to end 2007...we are still in the early stage of mkt crash... so if you have lose something like 25% from my estimation, it is still not early to cut...why? becos if you still delay, and recession really hit( i believe it will not if but when) then your counter got alot more downside..at least another 50 to 70%.from here,..no meaning to cut now at this level. clear off mkt...those got CPF investment, unit trust..get out now. then wait on the side line. ,,dont buy anything, not even so call safe asset, like gold( unless u trade)..nothing will be safe, except CASH. and dont be fool by any rally , those are just bear rally, but you can trade short term, but no long . But what if i am wrong.. no , i dont think so, after this mkt crash, confident is down deeply, business exppansion will be put on hold.. data is getting worse, and euro will never be solve, till they default. |

CNNMoney -- Federal Reserve policymakers will take a closer look next mth on what steps they can take to jumpstart the stalled U.S. economy, Fed Chairman Ben Benanke warned Fri Congress better help too. In a speech in Jackson Hole, Wyo., he announced that a one-day meeting of the Fed, originally set for Sept. 20, is being expanded to two days " to allow a fuller discussion" of what the Fed should do to respond to " disappointing" growth" " Federal Reserve will certainly do all it can to help restore high rates of growth and employment," he promised. Bernanke gave few specifics -- was notable for its limited discussion on Federal Reserve policy. That lack of specifics initially disappointed investors, but stocks were in positive territory by midday. http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/26/news/economy/jackson_hole_bernanke_speech/index.htm?iid=HP_River

Bloomberg 26/8........“He is, by far, the most activist chairman we’ve seen in modern history,” said former Fed Governor Lyle Gramley. “No other chairman has had a crisis of this magnitude to deal with, other than the people running the Fed in the late 1920s and in the 1930s, and they didn’t do a good job.” With five of the nine economists on the academic panel that dates U.S. recessions saying the odds of a new slump are rising, Bernanke said in a speech today that the Fed still has tools to stimulate the economy, without providing details or indicating that the central bank will move ahead with a third round of government bond-buying. “Although important problems certainly exist, the growth fundamentals of the United States do not appear to have been permanently altered by the shocks of the past four years,” Bernanke said in prepared comments at a symposium in Jackson Hole,Wyoming, hosted by the Kansas City Fed. “The Federal Reserve will certainly do all that it can to help restore high rates of growth and employment in a context of price stability,”.....// No worry...Ah Ben will know when and what to do..Cheers!!! |

fed has infinite bullets.. it can print 10000000x more than QE1 n QE2.. it can print until year 3030 BUT whenever it prints $, it is actually depreciating everyone's wealth to so-called " support" the US economy.. why it affects everyone? simple - all of us have direct or indirect relationship to US dollar.. every time the fed prints $ it pushes down the US dollar.. and the US dollar got depreciated, all of our wealth got devalued.. just look at MAS, imagine if one day US dollar becomes banana notes.. our MAS will holding tons of billions of banana notes..
