Or was it more of a general comment based on the perception that the fundamentals of the Msian economy are sound?<BR/><BR/>Stock market corrections are part and parcel of the free market. Get used to it. If you can't stomach the ups and downs, go for fixed-income stuff like corporate and govt bonds.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, analysts have been warning about the dangers of the yen carry trade for many months now. But the "mom and pop" investors who rely more on tips than on sound analysis rush in without due regard to fundamentals. And putting the blame for this on the PM is just seeking a scapegoat for these people's greed or folly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-85075617067572258242007-03-06T08:57:00.000+08:002007-03-06T08:57:00.000+08:00Tony, I think, apart from the last statement in yo...Tony, <BR/><BR/>I think, apart from the last statement in your press release, everything else is rather political (non objective).<BR/><BR/>" This is because there are many other factors which affect the movement of stock market prices, many of which are unrelated to the basic state of our economy. Hence, BN's attempts to equate the high stock prices to a “booming” economy is at best misleading, at worst an outright deception." <BR/><BR/>unfortunately, it's our citizens that fail to see that coming.

Volume went up by 33% compared to the record set the week before.<BR/><BR/>I'm in the market, and I certainly bear responsibility for my own losses. However, the same could not be said of the uncles and aunties, the pak ciks and mak ciks who went into the market with Pak Lah's reckless encouragement.<BR/><BR/>At the point of writing, KLCI has dropped by more than 60 pts today!<BR/><BR/>"A Voice", it's ok for Pak Lah to be trumpeting the economy. But it's another thing altogether to make irresponsible stock market predictions. There's a reason why a license is required to give stock tips, and even then with plenty of legal disclaimers. I didn't read any disclaimers in Pak Lah's statements.<BR/><BR/>Tony ;)Golf Afflictedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363347839543221577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-67067706526429069002007-03-05T15:00:00.000+08:002007-03-05T15:00:00.000+08:00SO Tony, when are you going to get tagging my fell...SO Tony, when are you going to get tagging my fellow orang batu pahatan from koris. <BR/><BR/>Refer to my blog on tagging me tagging you to know the game.A Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780035743502972342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37045477.post-62033189506187431472007-03-05T14:57:00.000+08:002007-03-05T14:57:00.000+08:00Show me any Government not happy with a bullish ma...Show me any Government not happy with a bullish market? <BR/><BR/>Show me a situation where analyst wud say sell then words like underweight, neutral, overbought, etc? <BR/><BR/>Show me a remiser who thinks on a sell side then continually "tell you to buy this and buy that"?<BR/><BR/>This is no issue.
