子夜读书心筆

写日记的另一层妙用,就是一天辛苦下来,夜深人静,借境调心,景与心会。有了这种时时静悟的简静心态, 才有了对生活的敬重。

My Diary 542 --- The Dangers Approaching

Trading Diary (March 31, 2009) --- The Dangers Approaching

My judgment on last Wed/Thu – TAKE PROFIT and wait for a 10% pullback to decide what to do – seem to be right call. At the end of day, this news-driven rally plus some tentative sign of economy stabilization have failed to defend Hengseng above 14K and SPX over 800.

I think markets clearly sense the dangers approaching, given 1) Poor earnings outlooks: Not only banks are warning March wasn’t as good as Jan and Feb, but the earning expectation for 1Q09 S&P are -35.6% yoy; 2) Bond may suffer in 2009: GM news suggests that bond holders may be the 2009 victims as equity holders were already beaten hard in 2008. Also, Fed’s QE exercise O/N suggests that their buying didn’t match the market expectations and the constant supply; 3) More concerns over Europe: I reemphasize EU as a wary as I saw a bank bail out in Spain, the D/G of Ireland (AA+) and Hungary(BBB-) by S&P and a continued debate about ECB policy shifts.

I think with G20 going to meet in London, the world is still struggling with much trouble and less clear-cut on policy responses. The ability for the world to get out of this economic crisis will require more than the action plans of China and US…Now go back to home market, ‘HIS is always having troubles with 14000. Today, I expect some recovery in Chinese Financials as Temasek and BoA having "no plans to offload". But, HSBC should continue seeing selling given its the last day of trading on the rights. In addition, it is also Q-End and the "window-dressing" chant will surely be raised once more…In general, HSI will edge lower to 13300 as ADRs remained weak, major support to be watched is at 12,800 which could be a near-term supporting line
