October 2008 Trading Account Summary

Hi all,

The illustration above show the total trading account balance after a month plus's trading. The total ytd from end Sept till now is 14.71%, with a starting account balance of US$10,000. As I reviewed my posts in Oct, there were some trades at the early part of Oct where it was not posted, as these trades could have been made while I was outdoors, that could likely have caused the omission. I hope my series of profits could continue, and I hope the posts I have made, could be helpful to you in the very near future.

The last 6 weeks have indeed been really tough for me, as I had to juggle between making contents for the blog, making trades, studying market sentiment, and between personal time, I have found posting market calls consistently to be a challenge for me. Therefore, I went into a dilemma as to whether this is meaningful for me to pursue further.

Thus over the past few days, I came up with a solution to these dilemmas. 

As my trading strategy has been short term to medium term (carrying a few days the most), I've decided to use http://www.market-hub.com as my new medium to post market calls, and an area where we can discuss more about the markets. I trust that everyone here are students of the market, so why don't we just throw out our thoughts in this new and free trading community?

If you happen to sign up at http://www.market-hub.com, just drop a note, bookmark the page, and I'm sure you will have get your reply pretty soon.

So see ya there then.

Financial Crisis Management

Back in the 80s, when the US government had to deal with a crisis where the Resolution Trust Corporation, which is a holding company formed and housed within the Treasury, to deal with distressed real estate that was funded by loans and savings, the strategy was deemed a sucess where it was later reused by the HK and Indonesian government during the asian financial crisis. This indeed managed to give immediate liquidity and confidence to the markets during such turbulent times. In addition, this came as a win-win situation for the governments, because as these distressed assets were bought in a 'fire-sale' price, which was significantly cheaper than its face value, the governments made profits from such transactions, where in today's case, the similar situation applies. The target of this plan for the purpose of restoring order in the banking system, so banks will remain confident to lend, as well as to free up funds for further lending and use when the economy grows.  Afte...

Can Banks Be Trusted?

Today's events have indeed been a thrilling experience experience for the international markets. As I am writing this, the China Central Banks has just cut its key interest rate again by 27 basis points to spur growth, Lehman (est. 1844) has filed for Chapter 11 (Bankruptcy) , there are rounds of ECB having an emergency rate cut, UBS sneaking in to declare another $5B of writedowns, AIG seeking help from the Fed with a request of a $40B bridge loan after rejecting an offer by Flower to prevent themselves from joining the slaughterhouse where their CDs are currently gapping outwards, and it seems that the only few pieces of good news are probably that Merril had a merger with BOA, as well as a consortium of global banks have put together a $70B fund to facilitate liduidity and an orderly resolution between Lehman and their counterparties. ECB also joined in with $30B to curb liquidity woes as well.  In my opinion, it seems like an obvious trend that all Fed Governors are challenged ...
