I asked God to take away my habit.

God said, No.

It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

 I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.

God said, No.

His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said, No.

Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;

it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.

God said, No.

I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said, No.

Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares

and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.

God said, No.

You must grow on your own,

but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.

God said, No.

I will give you life,

so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others,

as much as He loves me.

God said.......Ahhhh,finally you have the idea.

THIS DAY IS YOURS

DON'T THROW IT AWAY

May God Bless You,

'To the world you might be one person,

But to one person you just might be the world'

'May the Lord Bless you and keep you,

May the Lord Make his face shine upon you,

And give you Peace......Forever'

'Good friends are like stars...

You don't always see them, But you know they are always there."

感受溫暖是我的心意
感覺心與心的距離
愛在心中無限傳遞
美麗的夢讓我們一起努力
讓愛充滿世界愛就是家園

I have just fallen out with one of my good  friend who in the past few years has been actively participating in trading stocks in the market when I gave him a warning that he has to sell out all the stocks on hand. The point is the trouble evolves from the subprime mortgage is emerging its significant and disastrous outcome. However, most investors were previously very much dazzled by the optimistic comments on the good side of China's economic, or the saying of "transferring of Northern money to South" etc, together with the US M&A continuation, they ignore the actual situation.

I gotta rush to write here some more insight for your evaluation of the investment portfolio based on the changing needs and market situation so far as seen. The subprime problems had signaled those when HSBC took the lead in announcing their performance would be dragged down from such problem whilst many other financial institutes were concealing the effect. Having said so, the DOW Jones Index reflects contrarily and the massive Merging and Acquisition seemed trying to dilute the agony from it. Troubles linked to bad bets on subprime mortgages had already emerged at a number of hedge funds, starting with two owned by Bear Stearns last month, and at other financial institutions in the U.S., Australia and Germany.  The situation got worse through the end of July as firms trying to raise money in credit markets, either to fund the buy-outs of other companies, or for other needs such as financing share buy-backs and dividends, found it increasingly hard to find willing lenders. The smaller size stocks last week experience horrible plummets from chaotic sellout is a case in point, and in addition, this bad situation could even be exacerbated by the JPN carry trade.

The recent financial market turmoil has broadened and the adjustment is ongoing and could deepen, and therefore the downturn of the previous frantic rises will not be short term and shallow. I want to remind those who have stock on-hand should sell out during each of the rebound to cash in because of the following points:

·                     A technical indicator called Hindenburg Omen developed to predict the potential for a financial market crash has recently revealed  frequently that the number of securities that form new 52-week highs relative to the number of securities that form new 52-week lows are greater than 2.2% of the total number of issues that trade on the NYSE (for that specific day),  it suggests that market participants are starting to become unsure of the market's future direction and therefore could be due for a major correction. Proponents of this indicator argue that it has been very accurate in predicting sharp sell-offs in the past and that there are few indicators that can predict a market crash as accurately.

·                     Most people's basic alert were overcome by the too strong the market situations in the past, and almost everyone around you has participating trading in the stock market, despite the fact that several stock prices are unreasonably high already. Historical events reminded us that this will usually be the turning point of bearish from bullish.

·                     No matter you consider believing in Che Kong's divinatory stick is superstitious or not, I do find some sort of magical and mysterious power there. Recalling the year of 2003, when an omen stick was drawn and the wordings reminded us the burst out of epidemics; there came the SARS afterward. This year, the divinatory stick of Che Kong's wordings is decipherable as reminding us what ten, and twenty years ago became when financial crisis happened.

All in all, even one is positive to the markets in the long run due to the rising economy of mainland China, one should be very prudent to the current situation and unless all technical indicators have gone back to safety position, DO NOT participate in trading for the time being.
