After Obama K.O Osama...

In fact, this year's Labor's Day is marred with some terrorist-related news. First, UN successfully bombarded a key area of Libya's dictator Qaddafi, killing his son and injuring scores of his followers and relatives. Then, US troops was successfully and secretly raid the most notorious terrorist leader, Osama bin Laden. The whole raiding process was witnessed by Obama and his key personnel in white house. After several minutes of heart-beating attempts, Obama made an historic announcement on Labor's Day: "Today and finally, we defeated Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attack. We had done the DNA on the body, and it was Osama."


Why Obama, and not Bush?

Through 10 years of hunting Osama, ex-US president George W.Bush launched several military efforts. This led to the Afghanistan war and the Iraq war. When Obama took over, all had been settled down until the Libya attack lately. If you ask me, I think it bodes well for Obama's next election campaign not by winning the war, but in winning the heart of people, rejuvenate the spirit of US citizen, and regain the trust and confidence of the world. Obama is the man, simply because his name is almost same with Osama. Even news reporters sometimes wrongly spell out the name and read: "Obama is dead in the latest raid by US". You see?


Life goes on...
As spoken by Obama himself, the war against terrorists doesn't stop here. We will continue our job to assure the safety of the world, and to safeguard the interest of the world population. Share market rose initially after the news, but succumbed to losing ground later. The victory doesn't bring much joy to the share market. Instead, it spurred up the revenge spirit of fellow Osama's followers. Actually, we are now in a very watchful days. Security alerts are at all-time high, especially for US embassies globally.

Economy sense...
US government now can cut down on its budget deficit, by lowering the military expenses. USD may gain some lost ground, after sliding for weeks. A technical rebound on USD could again ignite the flames of currency trading volatility. Locally, it is likely to be downward biased due to lacking of positive news. Traders are waiting for the upcoming reporting season to gauge the entry level. Coupled with some bad news on several financial distressed counters like Sumatec, DBE, Viztel... and skeptical result for Fitters and Ramunia, everyone is staying sideline.

Finance Malaysia opines that we need another victory to boost the market sentiment. How about the victory against Qaddafi?

All these years, Osama is very famous, below is some arts dedicated to him.

"You Can Keep Your Existing Health Insurance"

I wondered about this statement at the time Obama made it.  Clearly, by changing all the rules of health care insurance and mandating conformity, it was unlikely that the vast majority of Americans would not find themselves forced by 'The Affordable Care Act' to have to deal with a completely different health insurance plan and completely different set of health care providers. I now understand what Obama meant.   He was speaking to his immediate family and (politician) friends.  They are exempt from the "Affordable Care Act."  Clearly what he meant to say was: "if you are exempt from Obamacare, like me and my family, you can keep your existing health insurance."  He never meant to mislead.

Are you first time gold and silver buyers? Why don't you invest in these popular metals? If you did so, you have had a wonderful investing experience after 2008 global financial crisis. But, do you really understand these metals? Were they really precious (especially now)? Traditionally, gold and silver were one form of exchange. Because of the invention of fiat money, they were being turned into some short of "back-up" currency , in case our fiat money system go burst. It's natural when things go wrong, gold and silver tends to appreciate in value. In other words, people hold precious metals to preserve the value of their assets. 3 Reasons Why Gold and Silver... Still hot in demand , especially by emerging affluent Chinese. Traditionally, Chinese loves gold. They bought it for events such as new born baby, new year, wedding and even funeral ceremony. Strengthening USD ??? Yes. It's a correct reason also. Why? Because of news that US going to stop QE3, USD is str...

Things We Now Know

The poor are losing ground in the new Obama world.  The facts are showing up even in the halls of collectivist extremes like the New York Times.  The rich are getting richer and poor are being locked in place.  Big government is throttling the economy and the hopes and dreams of lower and middle class Americans. Today's Wall Street Journal's article by Simon Constable lays out some of the simple and obvious facts of the Obama era: "The richest 20% of households account for 38% of spending, according to government data for 2011, the latest available.  Compare that with 2003 when the top earners spent 26% of the total."  The article goes on to say..."it could get even worse."  It will. Who really benefits when the regulators strangle the banks?  Do banks really need to get much more conservative in their lending practices?  Why does the government know best?  How far can you stretch the FDIC guarantees before American banking is simply a subsid...
