今年的尾声

 
 
即将结束的一年, 心中有千言万语.
 
如果, 用一句话来纪念2009, 那一定是:
 
 
 
 
今年真是个

Trading range narrowing, oil and gold tumbled at $70.67 and $1121, well off from highs. Dow little change at 10302 S&P 1092.
Obama calls for TARP to bailout main street and job market...so I guess TARP is becoming a revolving credit line for government spending.

Took dad to the doctor today for advanced macular degeneration, his right-eye vision is getting worse and not able to see well now. After a series of testing, a dose of Avastin was injected today. The left-eye is also showing signs of the same macular degeneration but in a much better shape than the right, currently defined as the "dry form" by the doctor. Hypertension, smoking and age are the main causes for dad's eye problem. If this does not work or show improvements, will find a doctor who could perform cold laser surgery and replace Avastin with Lucentis injections.

Market singing"wake me up when September ends..." today. dramatic pull back as better-than-expected data no longer fuels the market and profit-taking with a bit of panic selling dictated the downward momentum for most of the day. Got caught in a tailspin with minor loss, now it's about time to decide whether the long-waited correction is underway or this is just a healthy pull back to lure in more buyers. liquidated long-term holdings and trading account ready to trade this volatility.

God bless America, God bless me.

09.02.03.04.05.06.07.2009

Labor Day weekend and an extra day for kids to play!

With this week ended as unemployment came in at 9.7% and job loss at 216,000, but I guess that's better than expected as Dow surged 97 pts, gold approaching $1000 mark again. This recession so far has claimed 7.4 million jobs.

5 more banks failed this week and total of 89 in 2009. As the summer is offically over next week, things should get busy on Wall St., but I doubt the volatility will heat up as poeple are still gaming on which direction we will go forward from here in the near term. Correction or not, that's a million dollar question.   

On the gay side, and I mean GAY as in boys like boys, Southern Decadence Party in the French Quarter is on. After been cancelled for the past two years on the hurricane fears, this year plenty of peple are in the Quarter for the event, and I am somehow relieved that poeple, gays or not, are still coming to Nawlins for a fun and wild weekend.

Pres. Obama speaks before Congress, mainly on health-care reform and the state of economy.

Basically, health-care for all without raising a dime in deficit.

one Republican. rep screamed-out "you lied" during his speech on the part of no health care insurance benefits for illegals.

well, he's lying or not no matter, but tax hikes soon i am sure of, can't think of any other ways.

Obama to set 35% punitive tariff on Chinese tire imports. For three long years 35% the first year 30% the second and 25% the third that's on top of 4%.

It will be interesting to see the market's action on Monday as this might create a chain reaction of over-reactions and imaginations running wild, such as China's retaliations and Treasurys auctions going without it's strongest backer, and similar actions imposed on import products other than tires...so on and so forth. 

BBQ and dim sum, love it~ rainy and a bit windy this weekend but beat the heck out of the hot and sweaty summer days!  

Looking ahead Monday Obama speaks on banking reform, Tue marks one yr after Lehman and Aug retail sales, PPI and biz inventory, Wed CPI and industrial production, Thur housing starts and weekly jobless claims, Fri quadruple witching and state-by-state employment reports.


Now the expectations are up and with protectionism and trade wars in the air, correction should begin tomorrow.

if not, what will? yea, what will??

09.17.2009

Volatile day on the street, some profit-taking and sector rotations after this run-up but market is very resilient and simply refuses to go down. Congress to extend unemployment benefits in some states with high unemployment rates yet in fairness why not extend these benefits to all and save some controversies? Housing rebate, cash for clunkers, and massive bank bail-outs will likely raise serious problems on stellar national deficit looking forward. high unemployment rates and costly health-care reform and weak dollar are the keys to this economic recovery and funtamental changes in consumer spending post even higher threats to main street abroad. 94 banks failed so far this year.

Dow: 9820, Nasdaq: 2133, S&P: 1068 Oil: $71.85 Gold: $1010
