China produces 90 percent of the world’s rare earth elements. About 1000 pounds of such materials are used to build a single F-35 jet. Were China to limit their export to the US, it could have devastating consequences to the US military.

Whenever, Wall St is affected, Trump will tweet some remarks to push it up. There is not likely to get a deal. A lot of ppl are playing short term in the market.

What he is saying is all big countries spy and US is no exception. But M'sia is so small to make an impact on the world. If other big countries want to conquer M'sia, they can easily do it.

That's right. US started manipulating its currency USD via QE2 which saw the exchange rate of 1USD went well below RM4.00.

TNB says they will "investigate". I think most of the consumers found their bills going up n up.
I used the same number of electrical appliances for almost the same number of hours each day n night but the bill keeps going up.

PAS, also the same. They kept quiet when Jibby siphon off the country 's money. So, what now?

Ask which politicians dare buy Bursa listed stocks when they propose govn should list more companies?

The question u should ask: why all the foreign funds selling M'sian shares ?

True Nature is our original home.

No, it's not nothingness! It simply means no attachment to anything.

Yes, it is the attachment that pulls you into rebirth. When there is no attachment, it is your True Nature.

The essence of Buddhism is : "Originally Nothing".

meaning that there is no creator. Buddha-nature is present inside everyone.
The late Master Hsuan Hua said: "I came from empty space and I shall return to empty space".

When the time has come for the 5th Patriarch to choose his successor, he ask his disciples to write him a poem. He said from the poem, he is able to know which of his disciples has attained his True Nature and will be made the 6th Patriarch. Only 2 of his disciples submitted their poem.
Among his disciples, the instructor wrote the following poem :

Body is the Bodhi-tree
Mind is a clear mirror's stand
Diligently we keep cleaning
And let no dust alight

Meanwhile, his disciple, Hui Neng, who pound rice at the monastery's kitchen wrote

Bodhi has no tree
Clear mirror has no stand
Originally nothing,
Where is dust.

Knowing that Hui Neng has attained his True Nature, he was made the 6th Patriarch.

Prior to the CCP coming into power, maps published by UK shows most of the islands in South China Sea as China's territory. Only after the CCP came into power, maps published by UK no longer show the islands as China's territory.
China regards them as its territory but does not care about other lands outside this perimeter. That is its official stand.

Just days past, the United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to force the U.K., which colonized the islands during the Napoleonic wars and now controls them as a British Indian Ocean Territory, to return them to Mauritius, which achieved independence from Britain in the mid-1960s.

The nonbinding vote affirmed a ruling by the International Court of Justice earlier this year holding that “the process of decolonization of Mauritius was not lawfully completed when that country acceded to independence” and that “the United Kingdom is under an obligation to bring to an end its administration of the Chagos Archipelago as rapidly as possible.”

Just look at western hypocrisy. All along, I thought Hong Kong was the last.

That is why I say 'except political freedom.'

China to give up communist ideology or not. Or pretend to give up to revive Huawei?

The important point is China today no longer exports communism. Its citizens today have lots of freedom including freedom to go abroad except political freedom. See Kishore Mahbubani 's view on China in UTube.
If China abruptly gives up communism , it would end up like USSR. As the country grow rich, it is able to discard communism.

Gen Berhad seems to be a Poor investment, compared to Gen Malaysia.

GenM is pulling down Gen Bhd's performance. If Eliza Warren is elected president, probably it can recover its investment in Red Indian Reservation. Its dipute with Fox will take a long time to settle. With amendments to reinvestment allowance granted to them previously, there is a risk its earnings will be further hit, even though it has filed fro judicial review.

The west controls the media prior to the internet era n all these news were not reported. I always thought that the west stands on high moral grounds. Not anymore.

Britain sent its warship into the South China Sea to preach about international law but engage in land grab. Do you really think Falklands belong to Britain ? The law of the sea was drafted by western nations to legitimize their land grab.

Prior to the CCP coming into power in China, maps published in Britain shows most of the islands in the South China Sea as China's territory. After CCP came into power, maps published by Britain shown otherwise.

UK suffers major UN defeat over Chagos Islands decolonization

The United Nations General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to condemn the UK's continued occupation of the Chagos Islands -- a humiliating defeat for London on its continued colonial legacy.
The Indian Ocean islands, which are home to US military base Diego Garcia, were separated from the former British territory of Mauritius during decolonization in 1968. On Wednesday, UN member states voted 116-6 for a non-binding resolution endorsing a decision by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that separation was illegal and calling for the UK to return the islands to Mauritius within six months.
Only Australia, Hungary, Israel, the Maldives and the US voted in support of the UK.

Beware, Lotte kept breaking all its support levels, indicating a strong downtrend.

Second round trade war negotiation will be even tougher than first round...
Trump seem like quite firm on what he want without consider what china feeling.
China move back ward due to excessive demand fr Trump....

Fr SCMP today
Doubt cast on US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s claim that he would return to Beijing to resume negotiations.

Likely, Trump will veto the bill.

"Up to now China never admit theft of IP, and Donald Duck never prove US IP was stolen."


What IP theft ?? Like the former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, said " which sophisticated US multinationals are dumb enough to turn over core proprietary technologies to their Chinese partners ?" JV obviously entail a sharing of people, business strategies, operating platforms and product designs.

It is like ppl said Japanese workers give free overtime work. In reality, it is in exchange of lifetime employment. In China's case, it is in return for the successful penetration of the China market.

If concern stock market will you feel happy if banks issue buy call and after you buy the shares drop and lose money?

Learn Elliott Waves n u will know why. Do not depend on others. Everybody have different motives.

Must be very desperate for money to sell at IPO price @ RM 1.10. Other company's major shareholders would have provided support instead of cashing out.

Those who got a big slice sold off because the share price did not perform. They sold n got back their capital while the stabilizing manager is still around. Everything is a gamble. When I attended a workshop on futures trading, the pro advise us to sell first ask later if the promising technical signals did not perform. Same with shares.

Dude! China will build Kra Canal for Thailand soon! You think China still need ECRL by then!

Kra Canal will have huge implications for M'sia n S'pore. Thailand will prosper.

This is typical of all IPOs. The owner wants to sell their company at the best possible price.

Indices, stock market analysts and news channel follows Trump's every tweet.......geo political analysts knows what is happening long long ago........


yes, I bet you Trump makes tons of money manipulating the market.......

I am seeing this now. Trump probably knows that won't be a trade deal. Because what he wants is equivalent to the unequal treaties China signed during the Opium Wars. He says he will meet Xi. But I guess nothing will come out of it beyond the rhetoric " we will continue to negotiate".
We are probably heading for a hard landing in the coming months.

That will be a big problem for investors. Everybody buys in anticipation of a successful trade deal. And suddenly, this joker says there is no trade deal n in reality, a ruse to damage China.

There will be big stock mart crash !

He use his tweets like, "trade deal expected in 3 weeks" for the sole purpose of reversing the US stockmart slide. He himself knows that there will be no trade deal in the end.

May 14, 2019
Speaking several hours later at a dinner gathering at the White House, Trump said it should be clear in "three or four weeks" if a U.S. trade delegation's trip to Beijing two weeks ago was successful.

"I have a feeling it's going to be very successful," Trump said.

Beware. Trump may well be saying China will bow down to all his demands, which is unrealistic. He may be trying to reverse the downturn of the Dow by these transient remarks.

Maxis not likely to merge with TM. If that happens, Maxis will become a GLC.
Maxis will merge with Astro.

It depends on supply n demand on the opening day.

Jibby was inside the gomen then. Then, why he kept his dead silence ?

Kishore Mahbubani said China is no longer a communist country. CCP should be taken to mean "Chinese Civilisation Party". It is capitalist. It make use of communism to hold the country together so that it won't experience what the USSR sent thru.

The merged Digi-Axiata is likely to be the next IHH with huge forex risk.

Even big guys want to make money. They know how to sell down n buy cheap.

WASHINGTON/BEIJING (May 10): US President Donald Trump's tariff increase to 25% on US$200 billion worth of Chinese goods took effect on Friday, and Beijing said it would strike back, ratcheting up tensions as the two sides pursue last-ditch talks to try salvaging a trade deal.

China's Commerce Ministry said it "deeply regrets" the US decision, adding that it would take necessary countermeasures, without elaborating.

They cannnot even understand that KLSE is for companies to raise funds not for politicians to gamble.

So there will be 2 telco IPOs in the pipeline. 1. Digi-Axiata IPO 2. UMobile IPO

Correction

TM NOT involved in the merger because it owns the last mile. Telenor will own over 50% of the merged co.

TM involved in the merger because it owns the last mile. Telenor will own over 50% of the merged co.

According to the Edge, there will be an IPO of the merged entity. Prior to IPO, the two companies were be delisted.

Telia sold Nepal company，not Telenor。Telia is not Telenor. Do your home work first.

Yes, U are right. Sorri for the confusion.
I standby my statement that Digi has little or no social corporate responsibility.
It happened years back when they started upgrading their entire network.
I called the person in charge to complain that I am not able to receive calls n sms for almost ONE month. But the moment, I go to the shoplots not far from my house, everything was fine.
Their person in charge started to ask me abt the model n year of my mobile. I cut him short n told him I have bought a new SIm card from U Mobile n it is working fine. Finally he admitted that the upgrading in my area is not complete.
BUT their bill kept coming. I am expected to pay their full bill notwithstanding that the problem is theirs.

So much for a European company which boast of social corporate responsibility. All shit.

Telenor pulling out of SEA markets, I think. They sold their Nepal telcom company to Axiata but refused to pay the tax leaving Axiata to eat the dead fish.

Digi opting out of M'sia ??

The golden days of telcos are already long gone. With huge debt, litte or no growth, stiff competition ... which investor will want it ? If the funds push them, they will be left holding the baby with no follow thru support.

Pattern probably ends at abt 3.52

https://www.tradingview.com/x/7tFW14jq

Trump will pull the world into a recession by his ending of waiver of oil sanctions. Opec n Russia has learned their lessons. They will not increase output to lower the price of oil.

lowest 3.78
