SOS Corruption, Scandal & Fraud

If you cheat the rich, you will be punished almost immediately, look at Bernard Madoff.

If you cheat the mass, you will no one will be punished, look at MF Global, Bailouts on AIG, GM, others.

If you cheat the entire world like the LIBOR scandal, no one goes to the jail, only pay fine, not by the person responsible, they only punish the company, not the people in the company.

Well, this happen every where.  Some disguise it better than the other.  Some got cheated, and they didn't even know. A simple example, when the Libor is pushed lowered, some mortgage borrower will gain with lower interest, BUT, the lower interest has created easy credit, government over geared, bubble created in houses, currency depreciates.  One may gain USD100, but the entire countries suffer billions. So, the one who cheat gets away, well, Barlays, the company will pay the fine say 500million dollars, but they have cause damages in billions.  Yes, class action will be indicted, companies will be fined, no one goes to jail (at least not many).

Corruption is hard to detect, because the responsible person already know how to go around the rules and regulations.  Although it is not air tight.  Most will get away.  Even the Regulator is corrupted, so, how are you going to catch a thief when the police is part of the script.  Yes, in between, some will get jailed, but not in proportion to the number of corruptions by politicians, who has controls the executors, judicial and other agency.

Until these people change in their HEART, nothing will change.

SOS Another Lehman Meltdown

Will there be another Lehman meltdown?

I believe it is more of a slow depression, with asset class that goes up very high due to gearing, it will deflate when no new credit is created or hard to creat.  This is similar to boiling the frog slowly with one or two heart attack in between.

No QE can stop the wave of debt implosion, which is 20 to 50 times larger than the money printed, like a tsunami.  The only way is to conserve cash and wait.  Property prices or commodities may drop between 20-60%.

But there was a saying in Malaysia, property never drop,  based on 30 years history.  Well, we will make history just like the American.

SOS Best Predictions for 2012 by Charles Nenner

Dec 2011

Global equity markets are set for precipitous declines mid-way through next year, according to leading technical analyst, Charles Nenner, head of research at the Charles Nenner Research Centre in Amsterdam.

Nenner has been dubbed the “cycle guru”, because he uses technical analysis to predict future market moves. He has developed a huge following among hedge funds, investment bankers and brokers because of his strong track record in predicting major market moves. Nenner attracted a lot of attention in 2007 when he warned of trouble ahead for the US market. In February 2009, he predicted a major rally would begin “in a few weeks” that would push the S&P index up over 1,000.


In an interview with Business Spectator, Nenner forecasts that 2012 will be a tale of two halves. “I still think we’ll see a little bit more positivity in equity markets until the middle of 2012, then they’ll really be in trouble.”

This bleak outlook for global equity markets is consistent with his economic outlook. Europe, he says, is now definitely in recession, while the United States never came out of recession. Even worse, he says, the decision by the European authorities to conduct stress tests on Europe’s banks has triggered a credit crunch at exactly the wrong time.

“I think we’re heading for a depression. We’re going to have deflation starting in Europe.”

Not surprisingly, Nenner is also predicting the eventual collapse of the eurozone. “It’s going to happen, but not right now. The people who put together the European Union and the euro had no clue what they were doing. But the politicians will try to keep it going as long as they’re in power, because no one wants to be remembered as the ones who presided over its collapse.

“I think they’ll be able to keep it going for another one or two years. They’d like keep it going for another three or four years, but they don’t have the money to do that.”

And Nenner warns that the Chinese economy will not escape the woes afflicting the global economy. He predicts that the Chinese government will move to stimulate the Chinese economy, which will provide a boost to global equity markets early next year. But, he warns, the Chinese are still heavily dependent on selling goods to the United States and Europe, and the Chinese banks face serious difficulties with problem loans.

But Nenner is much more optimistic when it comes to the Australian economy.

He believes that the local currency is set for a big move higher in coming months, which could push it up by around 15 per cent. At the same time, he says, the local economy is under control and interest rates are at a reasonable level.

He’s also bullish on gold, saying that he’s hoping to buy back into the gold market at the beginning of 2012. (Nenner went long on gold when it was trading at $US400 per troy ounce, but later closed out his position). He believes that the bull market in the precious metal will continue, with the gold price hitting $US2,500/oz in a year or so particularly if, as he predicts, a major global conflict erupts in late 2012 or 2013.]

Nenner also forecasts that in the middle of next year, the US dollar will enter a major bull market that will last several years.

Given the perilous outlook for the global economy, what are Nenner’s favourite investments for 2012?

“Buy land. I want something tangible – not anything connected with the financial system, not banks. And real estate is still over-priced.’

On the other hand, he says, land is an attractive option given that agricultural commodities such as wheat, corn and beans will be in a bull market for the next 10 years.

“I’m from the Netherlands. There the investment approach is to avoid losing money. And there will be a lot of wealth destruction next year.”

He adds that most of his clients are also focussed on avoiding losses.

“Their mood is very negative. Everybody is looking at which bank they should be keeping their money in. Everybody is very worried. Most of them are buying farm land – in Australia, in Canada and in the mid-west of the United States.”

SOS Back to Mythonomics

Mythonomics

Is majority believe something, but the truth is opposite
Because of the majority believes, the financial market reacts based on this majority believe
The fact is this believe is actually the opposite of truth
This will continue for a long time, as long as majority and the mass media sells it,
Majority will believe it, because, they do not get sufficient information on the truth
That is how the world works,
The truth is irrelevant, the key is the perception is more important than the truth

So, now the REALONOMICS

The truth sometime is harder to understand, because, the fixed notions are formed in the majority mind.
Myth No. 1 - printing of money post 2008 crisis will cause hyperinflation.

During the 2008 crisis, the Fed has pump about USD1.7 trillion into the banking system.  USD1.5trillion is still in the reserve of the bank, kept as reserve.

The velocity of money, M2, actually slows down since 2000, even with the injection of money.

There is no growth in new credits, as banks are afraid to give out loans.

Because of the wrong expectation that the printing of money will cause hyperinflation, many has bought gold and silver, in anticipating of spiral inflation.  So the price of these precious metals rises to new high until May 11, 2012.  The real fact and truth is, there is no hyperinflation as they thought it would be.

Why?  Because the deflation is at work.  The age of deleveraging as mentioned by Gary Shilling will eventually come to past, the debt that turn bad far exceed the new money that is printed, afterall, 88% is still in the banking system instead of reaching to the small and medium industries, which explain why the unemployment remain at 8%.

Yes, a lot of people expect USD currency become toilet paper, but against who? The Euro is much worst.  EU has about 10% unemployment.  PIIGS is causing lots of problems.

So what will happen next,

In the long run 5-10 yrs, various type of assets will deflate at different times, be it properties, equities, precious metals, iron ore, copper, nickle, and other consumable commodities, not because they are no demand for it, because of the debt implosion.  The fear that set the commodities prices sore higher because of fear of hyperinflation did not turn out.  So, when the truth are reveal, DEFLATION will prevail, and people will be then fear that the various assets price will drop (because it was inflated by fear of hyperinflation in the first place), prices will drop gradually for different type of assets.

There is no clear solution to this, USD will strengthen in the long run because the BAD DEBTS will wipe out many trillions from the world (after all most debt are denominated in USD).  So, will there be short of USD or too much of it, give it a deep thought.

If you are on the wrong side of the coin, you may loss some money, if you are at the right side, you may gain some money.  Whichever it is, don't take it seriously.  Just money.

SOS where is morality going?

15 yrs ago, we leave our gate open while we go out for less than one hour

15 yrs ago, we do not need auto gate

15 yrs ago, we do not have cctv

15 years ago, we do not need an alarm system

15 years ago, we do not have security guard

15 years ago, children walk to school when it is less than 1km, today, they take bus

Today,

Auto gate = RM4000
CCTV = RM2000
Alarm system = RM3000
Security guard = RM600 a year x 10 yrs = RM6000
Bus fare = RM200 per month or RM2400 a year

Who says government not responsible?

Cost of living already increase by RM15,000- RM17,000 just keep our home safer.

OK this is not about cost of living, this is about the morality.  It is very obvious, morality has dropped, hence, more crime.

SOS What happen to China in 1992 & 1999

Just seven years apart,
One gives the world with hope,
The other trying to take it away,
Such a contrast year apart,
One teaches truthfullness, compassion and tolerance,
The other preaches lies, violent and hatred,
1992, falun dafa is spread,
1999, the china communist party illegally persecute it,

20 years ago, falun gong was introduced,
It spreads quickly by word of mouth,
Not only it helps in physical health,
It also improve human moral,
It also given us a hope, in human spiritual levels
