Banking stocks & Straits Asia
2008-06-25 09:47:00 After performing my usual 4 steps screening with XPertTrader, banking stocks and Straits Asia appeared to look interesting technically. For banking stocks, they will have a short term rally should Ben unexpectedly raise the interest rate. From the charts, DBS and OCBC looks like reversing. For Straits Asia, I see a possible chance to do counter-trend trading here. With it's well known volatility, this short-term opportunity should be worth taking a look.Golden Agri together with the rest of the agriculture stocks got hammered today. This furthers reinforced my belief that i should not be riding on trends as there is non to speak of in this current market. It is better to take profit at resistance level or support level if short. Just checked the news and saw that oil slips $4 on increase in inventory. Tsk tsk... news must have leaked out during Asia trading hours, otherwise why did these stocks lao sai in anticipations of the news? Price moves ahead of news my friends....STI t...
China Banking: I Have Two Words For You.
2008-06-25 06:32:00 A year or so ago, I was talking with a good friend of mine who has a fairly high level position with one of the big American banks that has spent huge money buying into Chinese banks. I was saying I could not understand why American banks were so willing to put so much into China's banks, particularly when it would be impossible to achieve any sort of clarity regarding their bad loan risks. (Please note this was before the sub-prime mess and so I at that point actually viewed banks as generally somewhat conservative with their money). His response was, "Dan, I have two words for you: credit cards." Yes, I thought. The Shanghai Daily reports that the number of credit cards in China has nearly doubled in the past year. Nearly doubled. Had my friend been a bit more literary and succinct, he would have said, "Dan, I have one word for you: plastic. [video]"

Brinking your Banking Online
2008-05-28 19:13:00 When I first started online banking, I was very skeptical about the idea. Sure some websites are secure, and use encryption, but how comfortable do I feel sending my money around on the internet? There is a carefull balance to be maintained between convience and security. In the end however, I decided to open up savings accounts and give it a try. There are so many features provided today for onlink banking. Let us consider Wamu as an example. With a secure internet connection, you can check your balance, pay your bills, and get alerts about your accounts. Plus with paperless banking you are helping the environment as well. One of the best ideas is the ability to automatically have money transferred to say a high interest savings account. Automatic savings is a great way to buld a little nest egg. Just set it and forget it. Account alerts are also a cool feature. I am not aware of other banks that can do this. When you reach a certain balance, or a large withdrawal, you can be n...
China Banking And Currency Exchange: Free Is One Of The Few Words I Always
2008-05-28 18:07:00 A really good friend of mine who works at Bank of America is always touting its China solutions. He occasionally emails me beautiful brochures with beautiful graphics, presumably detailing how I can move my firm's paltry earnings between the US and China, and vice versa. My reaction has always been to think that every big bank can do that. Appears I was wrong. Transpacifica has a post today, entitled, "Bank of America and China Construction Bank, or No-Fee USD Withdrawals in China," explaining how BofA's ownership stake in CCB translates on the ground to allowing one to "move USD into RMB with no ATM fees, no exchange rate adjuncts, and generally few headaches:" Many international travelers are familiar with the pain of double-barrel ATM fees — one from the machine that gives you money, and one from a U.S. bank penalizing you for using someone else’s terminal. Worse yet is the percentage of the withdrawal charged as an “exchange rate adjunct.” Before I discovered th...
