The suggestion from the IMF that countries should increase spending, even those with deficits, was seen as 'an indication of the gravity of the situation we face' by former United States treasury secretary Larry Summers. |

Reasoning, and 'fundamentals' thinking are indeed good and very re-assuring... |

I mentioned about infrastructure being a big investment theme. It still remains despite current bad market sentiment. In today's news, China wants to build 97 airports by 2020 to meet rising demand. Two investment theme are in play here - infrastructure and domestic demand (for air travel). Ambani, one of the world's richest man and CEO of one of the biggest company in India, Reliance, acknowledged that Indian infrastructure cannot catch up with its development. The other region I see that is going spend more on infrastructure and where air travel is expected to increase is in the Middle East as they have amassed huge reserves from high oil prices. |

In reality, every moment or stage in the stock market's progress is a risk. So-called "trend" is only perceivable after the event; trend cannot be predicted. There is no tool to predict trend. All is betting and speculation on tomorrow. Thus, the stock market, like any other speculative medium, is all about risk. When we buy stocks, we buy not a company, but a risk! ...  |

Interesting - Today's ST on Jim Rogers now based in Spore : Mkt has not hit bottom yet - there is not much fear, rate cuts are false hopes Even out of Davos, messages of what the future will bring : ASEAN urge to unite together to face future financial turmoil IMF - gloomy note - world need serious response to US recession by fiscal/monetary They know what is going to happen, and the look of the messages, I don;t like the vibes |

Just to clarify : I share Morgan Stanley's view that whether cut rates or don't cut rates or implement stimulus packages - the US will still go into a recession |

hmm its hard for the fed to do anything cause if they were to cut rates again, it would mean things r really bad and pp like soloman and such will be saying economy is going to crash. If dont cut rates then market drop, sometimes i think its best for it to drop to 10,360 b4 rushing up again |

The US rally did not last for three consecutive days. Hence the reversal is not likely, and it will have a high chance of falling further next week. Let's see what the fed will do about it. I agree with paperless about the fall means further than "profit taking". |

It may seem a bear market to some. But when the bear phase is over, some stocks would already have gone up quite a bit. Fourth quarter results for companies are just around the corner |

If you analyse some of the stocks out there, their PE in 2006 and their PE now after their stock price have gone up, is almost the same. Incredible. It means these companies earnings have been rising these past one year. |
