Wow…Citic Pacific (0267) loss more than $15 billion HKD on forex forward contract. Well, most company have gone through this road. A lot of U.S. company with overseas business have done this kind of hedging and many have been burned. Some exception, Dell Computer had made a lot of money on this eon years ago and put it as revenue. Hehehehe….

Even country like Malaysia took at $9 billion Rm hit. Pier-1 import is also another example. Took a huge hit, declared chapter 11 and now…limping along.

But the funny thing. Citic Pacific did not even see the sign. The sign is all over their forward contract. They have a term for this…they called is ‘CURRENCY ACCUMULATORS’ = ‘CURRENCY I KILL YOU LATER’. Doesn’t it sound like I KILL YOU LATER?

Whoever coined this term knows exactly what is the end game of the customer. Next time, bring a malaysian along, they read better…ehhehe…’ACCUMULATORS’ my ass…maybe I read it differently…

People…when u in need of buying a forex forward contract and someone in the Bank offered this term…you better run…hehehehe..

I am thinking aloud.

This is something I don’t want to do in this blog but lately this is the hottest topic in town. Plus, We..among friends has been exchanging our opinion on where the market is heading.

So…in my blog, I am posting my opinion. Please do keep in mind…I could be WRONG…heheheh

The last price on the chart was 8th Oct…

The price on 9th Oct close at 15,943.24, Up 511.511.

1) Price Action – based on pure price action, with the rebound on 9th Oct, I am looking at the price testing 16,284: the recent low and become the current resistance. If the price does not penetrate at this number, the price will coming back down to re-test the low 15,431.

2) Technically – from tech point of view, the price really does not look. The only way I long the market if its penetrate 20,000. Otherwise, I am just going to sit around and doing nothing. I am too chicken to long the market.

3) Volume – I put the volume on this chart because one of my friend is absolutely a believer in volume spread analysis. Looking at the high volume of the transaction on 8th Oct, I can safely say, the end of the sell-off is not even near…

This is my thought…I am thinking aloud…and expect profit…

This couple months been busy attending classes to learn some manga drawing. I have been fascinated on drawing manga. Only now, I have the opportunity to learn it. I know…old man trying to learn new things.

Lately, I realized…in drawing, you must be able to somehow sees the 3D angle. Otherwise, it’s very difficult to draw the exact position of the image.

Check out what I mean.
