ASIA, ASEAN, PROPERTY, STOCK, COMMODITY

The US & Europe led advance economy is remained low growth.

The US's Fed continue it's loose monetary policy & continue the almost zero interest rate & export it's cheap cost USD.

The Chinese Govt has started to reduce their USD holding & diversify into other countries' currency. Who dare to hold USD anymore !

The hedge fund or speculator can easily borrow USD with low interest rate & invest in emerging market, esp China led ASEAN.

Now we see the inflow of western cheap, hot fund into ASEAN+3 property & stock market.

The play up the property in ASIA ( esp South East Asia ), Chase up Equity.

The inflow of this hot money will kick-start a BULL run in ASEAN.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A POSITION IN STOCK,

'LET THE PROFIT RUN ' is the BEST STRATEGY.

Some thought on 'Dividend' on Icap.biz

Should or should not Icap distribute 'Dividend'

I dont think majority of the shareowner like 'discounted Price', I believe even TTB don't like it as well. This is the reason why he conducted the Investor days & introduce Value Investing this year.

The widening gap between NAV & Market price shown that many shareowner not welling to hold a shares for long term that receive nothing, illiquid & still facing the investment risk.

Should minimum dividend payment proposed ?

I believe a small dividend will not affect the performance of the fund ( Icap hold a lot of cash), yet it will give some attraction for some shareowner to hold on to their shares for longer term.

This will help to close the gap & give confidence to the existing shareowner & the investing public on the fund.

A premium to the existing fund also means that a shareowner can exit the fund with better profits if the need arise.

A high NAV is only an illusion if no distribution of profits to the shareowner.

1. The status on Icap invest in overseas market
2. The appointment of Integraz CEO on board of Director

4. The issue of dividend policy on Icap

Waiting for A Surprise - NEM Implementation

Now Najib's administration is at a cross road, they are either go ahead with the economic reform or do nothing & surrender to the UMNO's conservative warlord.

Now there are too many issue against them:-

• The Chinese do not believe in UMNO & BN for reform.
• FDI drop drastically & local fund continue to flow out to other countries.

• Malaysia's economy deteriorate & coming years economy not likely to be good.

To break all this negative factors, Najib's Govt is in a cross road & the only things that he need to do is to reform, for the nation & for his Govt survivor.
