If you bros think “we’ve bottomed”,
think again.
If you bros think “we’ve bottomed” because Warren Buffett had started buying 20081017,
think again.
Ask:
(1) Warren can hold long long time, can we?
(2) Warren buys, perhaps, due to strategic reason. What’s our 10-50k comparing to his?
View remains:
(1) 20081012 Who can be sure that we may not see 7180 along the way?
(2) 20081017 Will SGX hit $3? Will Wilmar hit $1? Or rather:
Won’t SGX hit $3? Won’t Wilmar hit $1?
A tough yes no, right?
[21/10/08](9:17 PM)[Me]: Await sgx 2go $3, tat mayb time 2buy 4long term.

Kinda busy these days with work, anyway, perhaps, nice to have less time on trading these days. Wahaha.. Though no trading, buddies still still keep me very updated of what’s in market.
Thanks to you bros!
While on way to a morning meeting, an analyst on radio, said “can buy abit”.
Yeas, he did mention about stop-loss.
His optimism is partly due to Warren buying, or below dow?
Dow:
My heart sank. Would any old folks take his?
Anyway, my bearish view continues.
First trade for past few day, sgx shorted 553 slightly before HSI opened, covered 545, alamak, went below 540 after that. Never mind, gottabe happy with any profit
After all, kinda a risky trade, as simply trade on tight bollinger band. It’s betting, you can can.

王永慶辭世 鞠躬盡瘁 死而後已
2008/10/17 工商時報
【陳彥淳/台北報導】台塑集團創辦人王永慶走了!他的走,是一個蓽路藍縷時代的結束,更是另一個生生不息的開始。
為了到台塑美國廠視察,他不顧家人的反對,不顧醫療團隊的中肯建議。由於事出突然,台塑高層眼眶泛紅,感嘆地說:「創辦人真的是做到死!」
台塑集團由另一位創辦人王永在,昨天召集集團會議,王家人包括王文洋等人全員到齊,王永在在會議上痛哭失聲,台塑企業董事長李志村更難忍悲慟,他說,「與董座相處的時間,比自己爸爸還久,很榮幸可以跟經營之神共事」。
92歲的高齡,換做是別人,早就退休在家享清福,但王永慶卻是一刻不得閒,即使交棒給七人小組,他仍然不改每天到台塑上班的習慣,從拄著拐杖,到專人推著輪椅進辦公室,念茲在茲的,只有台塑集團的未來。
即使是海外巡察,王永慶也都儘可能事必躬親,今年初廈門長庚開幕,他坐著輪椅,不畏舟車勞頓前往剪綵,勤奮的精神與堅忍的毅力,連外人也為之動容。
近來美國發生金融風暴,影響到許多當地企業的發展,台塑集團在美國的布局十分龐大,王永慶決定前往視察美國廠,也一併了解美國當地的情況;台塑集團高層主管表示,王永慶執著於工作的個性完全沒有改變,只要是他想做的事,就一定要去做,誰也擋不住。
事實上,王永慶10日還與另一位創辦人王永在在長庚球場宴客,看起來精神奕奕,11日即赴美國考察工廠,據了解,台塑內部原本力勸王永慶不宜長途飛 行,希望他能打消前往的念頭,但個性堅毅的王董,最後仍執意前往,隨行者還包括夫人李寶珠、台塑集團副總裁王瑞華,以及長庚大學董事長楊定一等人。
前一天晚上還與員工餐敘的王永慶,關心著目前美國廠的發展情況,卻在睡夢中安詳辭世,台塑高階幹部感傷地說,王永慶真的是做到最後一刻,一直到走了,才能真正休息;台塑高層於15日晚上接獲通知,大家完全沒有準備,在第一時間聽到時,幾乎沒人敢相信,王永在更是一夜難眠。
跟著王永慶多年的李志村,更是難掩悲傷的心情,直說台塑集團失去了一個大家長,真的很惋惜。一度想要離開台塑自行創業的李志村,被王永慶的創業精神所感動,一直留在台塑,至今長達50個年頭,想到與王永慶相處的時間,比和自己爸爸還要久,李志村難忍悲傷之情。
台塑主管說,王永慶的身體一向硬朗,經常參與公司內部會議,至今仍然固定每二個星期,集團相關係企業就要輪流向他報告,七人小組也陪同出席,別看九十幾歲的老人家,提出的問題都是一針見血,有時詢問的時間將近一個小時。
最近一次的會議,是9日時由台塑石化負責報告,當時王永慶頭腦清楚,嚴格得很。台塑主管表示,一向不多話的王永慶,總是在會議結束時舉起右手輕揮,意示感謝與再見,讓員工都印象深刻,沒想到這次報告,卻成為向創辦人報告的絕響,也讓台塑員工不勝唏噓。

座车跟他18年 理发只剪不洗
【联合报╱记者彭慧明/台北报导】
台塑集团创办人王永庆出身清寒,做生意逐渐发达之后,也不改勤俭本性。王永庆的凯迪拉克加长型座车,整整跟了他十八年。他的俭省精神不仅发挥在生活中,也影响企业经营。
许多人知道王永庆节省,他对事物的珍惜,深受母亲影响。王永庆幼时家境并不好,母亲在住家旁种菜贴补家用,王永庆事业有成后,被员工昵称「台塑阿妈」的王詹样女士还在台塑大楼顶楼开辟菜园,亲手种植家人吃的蔬菜。
王永庆做毛巾操的毛巾破烂仍舍不得更换;利用纸张背面、甚至四边留白处写作的小习惯,都是王永庆节省的一面。
王永庆说,企业经营理念是要体认人性「由俭入奢易、由奢入俭难」,「勤劳、节俭、务实」也是台塑集团从上到下一致的精神指针。
王永庆和王永在兄弟都在同一家发廊剪头发,剪一次约两百元。理发师罗四珍说,王永庆的发型很简单,不麻烦,每个月来修整一次,「只剪不洗」,连王永在的两个儿子也在同一家发廊剪头发。
王永庆早年曾上电视接受访问,亲自讲他节省的小秘方,例如家中肥皂用到最后时、只要加水融合还可贴在新肥皂上一起使用,完全不浪费。
另外,他的「奶精小故事」,也最为人津津乐道。他以前一直有喝咖啡习惯,但倒完奶精后,他一定会再用一点咖啡「冲」回奶精球里,务必用尽最后一滴奶精。这个小故事也让很多有同样习惯的人相当开心,因为,「可是跟经营之神一样省喔!」
这种小处节约资源的要求,让台塑集团追求用「较低工本提供更好服务」。例如早年洗肾很贵,一次约六千五百元,王永庆认为四千元是合理价位,为了符合 董事长要求,长庚医院自行研发洗肾的透析液,在材料供应上四处比较,能够自行开发的就自己做,降低洗肾病人的工本,终于达成目标。

Happened to read a cnn article, extracted below.
Warren Buffett can afford to have high-end buffet every meals, join him in buying if you in that category.
i can only have “wan tan mee”云吞面 & peanuts, i cannot start buying early.
Will SGX hit $3? Will Wilmar hit $1? Or rather:
Won’t SGX hit $3? Won’t Wilmar hit $1?
A tough yes no, right?
Buffett: I’m buying stocks
Berkshire Hathaway CEO gives advice on how to invest during America’s money crisis in a New York Times op-ed.
David Goldman, CNNMoney.com staff writer
Last Updated: October 17, 2008: 9:24 AM ET
“
Buffett said the fear surrounding the disastrous credit crisis, which has dropped stocks about 36% from their all-time highs set around this time last year, has left equities with attractive purchasing prices.
“A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful,” said Buffett. “And most certainly, fear is now widespread, gripping even seasoned investors.”
“
“
So if strong companies are destined for long-term success, bad news is good news when you’re looking to invest in the stock market.
“Bad news is an investor’s best friend,” Buffett said. “It lets you buy a slice of America’s future at a marked-down price.”
