x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Oh No.   Is 0.1 going to make a difference? NEW YORK, Sept 4 (Reuters) - U.S. manufacturing expanded more slowly in August, according to a survey published on Tuesday.  The Institute for Supply Management said its index of national factory activity eased to 52.9 in August from 53.8 in July. Analysts had been looking for a reading of 53.0.  A reading above 50 indicates expansion.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Extracted from www.cnn.com "Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has not come right out and declared that a rate cut will happen, but many investors believe he has telegraphed it by saying the central bank will "act as needed." Traders who bet on the Fed's next move are not only pricing in a 100 percent chance of a quarter-point rate cut at its next meeting on Sept. 18, but also are pricing in a 100 percent chance of similar move in October". But why in October as well? Hmm...

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	I think a rate cut is for sure..otherwise many American sleep at Union Square..and along wall street..to reduce rate is lesser of the 2 evils like a top economist said.. redeuce rate first...then come to settle infation later..

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Buy gold for insurance...look at the impressive graph.. http://stockcharts.com/charts/historical/djiagold1980.html Some of the reasons why: Today's global currency debasement, which continues to force tangibles such as gold to rise significantly in market price. The huge and growing gap between mine supply and traditional demand. The very strong historical relationship between negative real interest rates and stronger gold prices. Rising investment demand for gold in 2007, as a safe alternative to lackluster stocks. Since 2001...gold no longer function as hedge against inflation ..it is also a very good investmant... From 2001..the DOW climb fr 8000 to 2007 14000...a gain of 75%...but gold fr $275 in 2001 to $670 today..a solid gain of 143%..almost double if u have invest in gold!!! And still better return for your investment if you have invested in gold stock...and unit trust...one such only local unit trust by UOB...known as United Gold and General...actually gave a return ratio of 1:3....i.e for 1x increase in the px of physical gold the trust value increase 3x...check out at UOB assess management web site... So who say gold does not pay interest???

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Looks like an excessive dose of financial engineering was applied to US subprime markets. Risk spreading to minimise loan default risks leading to single point market failure in the mortgage market, ended up implicating other unrelated segments in the financial world. I mean, without CDOs and other such instruments, there would be little reasons for such a massive negative reaction in the equity markets worldwide just because maybe 5% of US homeowners failed to pay their mortgages for 2 mths. And to think that secondary loans could actually be offered to people to pay off their primary housing loans! This is simply living on future income. Something has to give. Whatever happened to the concept of living within one's means?
