Let&#39;s see if this will age well or not. [posted on 6th July 2020]<br /><br />Usually, at the peak price of any asset class, e.g., cryptos, properties, stocks, tulips and etc, you will see your family members, newbie friends and circle of friends talking about it. Today, I haven&#39;t seen this phenomenon. But based on certain factors, I am predicting a great bull market all the way surpassing the previous record high by year end. Why u ask?<br /><br />1). Historic central banks pump<br />Fresh trillions pumped and circulated in the economy. More will be printed when necessary. Nuff said. <br /><br />2.) Zero/low interest rates<br />The current rates around the world with high potential of further rate cuts is causing many to absorb the dissatisfaction of 0%to2% interest rate from the banks but the fear of economic outlook is preventing them from withdrawing for any investment. <br /><br />2) Irrationality of the stock market prices<br />Despite many dark clouds hovering: worser 2nd corona wave, US presidential election year and devastated world economy, we realise most stock markets, HK, US, SH has recovered at some point and even hitting record high.(SH, Nasdaq). This has shown certain that there are a certain amount of greed sentiment. This greed sentiment, I believe, will be amplified when the next time these indexes high their respective record high again. This time, the group of people with savings in bank will take notice. <br /><br />3) Predicted slow and continued rise of the stock market (push-pull)<br />As the market starts climbing, regardless of the good / bad news in the world (corona, Trump losing, China debt, etc) fed-up people will be confused but tempted by the market rise. More and more will withdraw their savings and enter the market. (Bad idea at this time). This vicious cycle will propel the rise. Feedback loop. It will be a major conversational topic for a lot more people.<br /><br />How this will end depends on who wins the US election. If Trump wins, it will stay high. Not sure how the market thinks of Biden atm. <br /><br />I predict M&#39;sia stock to rise in tandem with other major stock exchanges but not to previous high, close though. <br /><br />This is not a buy call absolutely. I cannot guarantee your win. Your choice of stock, buy in price, selling price is specific. I am talking about the general market. yanoewat Kopitiam Mon, 06 Jul 2020 19:52:06 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4969781 TikTok owner ByteDance moves to shift power out of China — sources<br /><br /><a href='https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/tiktok-owner-bytedance-moves-shift-power-out-china-%E2%80%94-sources' target='_blank'>https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/tikt...2%80%94-sources</a><br /><br />It&#39;s obviously to placate the american government. Same reason why America shouldn&#39;t complain about China blocking america-based social media. There was once a point where Facebook &amp; Youtube was allowed and then eventually block till this day. yanoewat Kopitiam Fri, 29 May 2020 11:18:14 +0800
