Many think the present financial meltdown is contained, or even cured...

But think again...

What is the US govt going to do with all it's recent 'acquisitions' (and quite possibly, more to come)?...

More specifically... Is an economic recovery or boom on the way? Smiley

Those who can be angry at being wrong (and losing money) must not play the stock market..

Only those who love the stock market, whether it is up or down, will be able to survive the maulings of the monster beast... Smiley

Yes, that is so true!...

Thus, playing the down side is definitely more lucrative!...

When the time come, the chance must be grabbed... Smiley

correction..bear markets, you make BETTER money by selling..

In a bull run, anyone can make good money by just selling any stock...

By the same token, in a bear market, anyone can make good money by just selling any stock...

There's a lot of truth in this... hehehe... Smiley

Scary! It is like a virus. They better contain it fast, otherwise it is going to be an epidemic. Seems like some countries are experiencing nervousness.

DBS High Notes investors at riskThu, Sep 18, 2008
The Straits Times

SOME local investors of a product linked to bankrupt investment giant Lehman Brothers have received late-night phone calls from DBS Bank warning them that their entire stake may be wiped out.

The investors have their cash in a product called DBS High Notes 5 that the bank offered wealthier clients last year. It came with a promised annual return of about 5 per cent.

But Lehman's collapse on Monday means the product will be unwound and investors may only get a portion of their investment back - or none at all.

Asia stock markets suffer heavy losses
Posted: 18 September 2008 1138 hrs

HONG KONG: Asian stock markets dropped sharply again Thursday as the global financial crisis deepened on reports of trouble at more US banks, including Wall Street powerhouse Morgan Stanley.

Markets across the region fell hard in early trade, as the bold US$85 billion bailout of insurance giant AIG failed to calm worries that other stalwart firms would be brought down in the growing storm.

Hong Kong was off 5.3 per cent, Japan shed 3.2 per cent, Australia dropped 3.5 per cent and Taiwan was down 4.5 per cent.

The declines tracked another session of woe overnight on Wall Street, where the Dow Jones dropped 4.06 per cent and the Nasdaq lost 4.9 per cent.

"The market is trading under the assumption that every financial institution is going under," said Michael Petroff, portfolio manager for Heartland Advisors.

"It's now emotional," he said. "People have removed some part of the fundamentals and are only trading on momentum."

Shares in Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs - the last two major Wall Street investment banks standing following the recent upheavals - plunged dramatically in US trade, dropping 24 and 14 per cent respectively.

The Wall Street Journal and New York Times reported that Morgan Stanley, whose stock fell to its lowest level since 1998, was mulling a merger with Wachovia, a US

Meanwhile Britain's biggest mortgage lender HBOS reached a quick deal Wednesday to merge with rival Lloyds TSB.

Many market-watchers have blamed short-sellers for driving down the market, and the US Securities and Exchange Commission announced new restrictions effective Thursday to limit the practice.

Traders said the worry was turning into panic, following this week's collapse of Lehman Brothers and the US government's takeover of AIG. Some compared the crisis to the 1907 panic that saw a series of bank failures.

The dollar fell further in early Tokyo trade, changing hands at 104.77 yen from 104.91 in New York.

The euro strengthened to 1.4380 dollars from 1.4344 and edged up to 150.63 yen from 150.50.

Jittery investors fled to gold for safety. Spot gold was up more than US$80 in Hong Kong, with prices around US$868 an ounce.

The Bank of Japan injected emergency funds into the markets for a third straight day, putting in 1.5 trillion yen (US$14.4 billion) to try to end the turbulence.

"The selloff is likely to continue," said Castor Pang at Sun Hung Kai Financial in Hong Kong. "It's hard to say when it's going to end, as the global turmoil has yet to settle."

Bourses across Asia were sharply down.

Chinese stocks were down 3.6 per cent and Singapore was off 3.5 per cent, a day after the market's lowest close in more than two years.

South Korea opened off 2.7 per cent, Thailand was down more than 2 per cent and Malaysia was off 3.1 per cent.

There were also sharp tumbles overnight in Europe.

The FTSE 100 in London lost 2.25 per cent, the CAC 40 in Paris dropped 2.1 per cent and in Frankfurt, the DAX was off 1.75 per cent.

Now the underlying sentiment is focussed on the spectre of AIG the collapse...

Thus, the market is unlikely to do a "Cheong Arrhh"... even if the Dow is up tonight... Smiley
