for ppl missed the news:
1st Question: Stamp duty?
China government did not raise the stamp duty
2nd question: will China raise interest rate?
unlikely. Why? unless it wants to kill its enconomy.
The Financial Times reports traders fear Beijing could raise China’s interest rates this weekend in order curb inflation that hit a two-year high last month. The country has also curbed foreign real estate speculation.
But a shift to greater consumption on the part of China, presumably through a stronger currency, is exactly the medicine everyone’s calling for. T. Rowe Price chief economist Alan Levinson this afternoon writes that current-account surplus countries, like China, and other emerging market economies, must shift to greater internal consumption. But it won’t be easy:
Export-oriented emerging economies will have to boost domestic demand so as to reduce domestic saving and current account surpluses. In China, the exemplar for this group, the magnitude of the shifts required, and the imperative to maintain roughly 8% growth during the transition, dictates that the inter-sector reorientation of the Chinese economy will be gradual. Similarly, interest in financial stability limits the pace at which policy makers can increase the degree of market determination in the renminbi
Sleep tight everyone! tml is another day.
net loss of 36000
compared to previous year of (176000)
net loss reduced but is not from operation, meaning not stable. as such does not mean that company is improving.
loss reduction mainly due to revaluation of vessals.

Yes, newbies can benefit a lot from BT's guidance...
While holding is good when you are having good profits,
holding when you are losing after entering at the wrong price point
is not the right thing to do.
Furthermore, even if you are having profits,
by holding too long, you can easily let your profits run away too...
especially when you are very confident...

i think i am what u r referring to
"Simply holding and holding, and hoping to make more money
is not the way to long well.."
that's why i am here reading and learning from all seniors.
till BT conducts his training.....
Cheers
newbie

No matter if it's naked short or CDF short,
if you are not already good in playing long,
you should not go naked and play short...
simply because you are not ready.
Look at it this way...
If you are not able to slide down without falling at the playground,
you should not go bungee-jumping. You must progress step by step...

thanks for the info.
but from wat i know shorting hav to be done within the same day rite? so unless there is cfd, trade settlement can be done within t+3?
When you know how to play long well,
you will naturally know how to play short too.
Thus, by longing well, you will at the same time be learning how to short.
You will know what I mean if you understand and bear this in mind :-
To play long well is to know when to sell at the right time.
Simply holding and holding, and hoping to make more money
is not the way to long well...
