2008-10-21 Tech-Fund Anylisis




Higher Treasury rates have a lot of people upset and worried. That is, worried because they think the recent bailouts combined with the other out of control US spending puts the US balance sheet in jeopardy.



In past bear markets, as short-term rates declined, and long-term rates increased, it was a sign of future growth... and looking around the corner, another bull market for stocks down the road.



Also, in past bear markets, the savy bulls would look for pessimism to reach such an extreme level that stocks would bottom out because the general mood was so negative that there was no one left to sell stocks.



Will this cycle follow the same pattern? The chart above is a fairly good sign that longer-term rates have bottomed and are headed higher. And, yikes, the news and mood doesn't seem like it could be worse. Also, Fed Funds are at 1.5% and foreign central banks have finally seen the light and are lowing rates to stimulate growth.



So do we have the ingredients we need to at least start to look for signs that the worst is near? We aren't talking about a turnaround soon, but around the corner. Maybe late 2009?



I'm having trouble wrapping this up. The point is, these higher rates are usually a good sign for people willing to look out into the future, as long as the rates don't climb too far too fast. But this time?
















These markets followed the classic, textbook, topping pattern. First rates peaked, then stocks, then commodities. And now we wait for the bottom pattern. It looks to me as though the first step is complete with rates bottoming, and now we wait to see when stocks bottom. Based on the oversold weekly RSI for stocks, it looks to me like stocks will retest at least once before the bottom is in.

2008-10-16 三线开花的原理和运用 (ZT)

1、20日均线----股价中期走势的生命线(20日均线的技术含义):
  20均线在低位拐弯向上,往往意味着股票价格走势是中线上升行情。20日均线在高位拐弯向下,往往意味这是中期调整趋势,投资者对此股票不介入或寻机出局。
  2、20日均线的作用:
  ① 确定中期趋势。20日均线低位拐弯,中期趋势的跟踪线。
  ② 确定买入点。股票价格低位放量上涨突破20日均线,缩量回跌调整到20日均线时的买入点。
  ③ 确定卖点。大多数情况下(除急庄爆涨外)在股票价格远离20日均线20%-30%之间获利了结是个不错的卖点。
  ④ 确定止损点。大幅上涨后20日均线拐弯向下时,应短期止损离场出局或不介入
  120日均线--半年线--脊梁线
  120日均线的作用:
  (1)助涨作用.当120日均线处于上涨状态时,有助涨作用
  2)重压作用。当120日均线处于下降趋势时,120日均线对股票价格走势具有重压作用。
  (3)确定买入时机。利用120日均线处于上涨趋势时,对股票价格走势具有的助涨作用,来确定买点。即以120日均线作为支撑线,当股价回跌到120日附近时买入。
  250日均线--年线--牛熊线
  250日均线的趋势方向和股票价格升破或跌破250日均线,有着重要的技术分析意义。如果市场中有一大批股票出现这样的走势,说明就要有一波行情了,或者市场中就要出现新的炒作题材了。
  250日均线的作用与120日均线的作用非常类似。
  支撑作用:即处于上升状态的250日均线对股价有支撑作用。
  压力作用:即处于下降状态的250日均线对股价有压力作用,突破这种压力需要成交量和时间才可确认。因此在250日均线走平或向上之前,都不能介入,否则会屡买屡套,损失了金钱和时间
  如何判别和确认股票价格升破250日均线对股价的压力开始走牛?
  (1)突破这种压力需要成交量和时间才可确认。带量升破250均线的压力和250均线已调头向上,是判断股票走牛的关键。此时股价即使再度跌破250均线其跌幅亦往往有限,可以认为是股票价格走牛的回档走势。
  (2)形态特征:
  250日均线跌势趋缓,股价放量突破250日均线的压力,已经在250日均线之上运行。股价即使随后跌破250日均线,但成交量同时萎缩,显示卖压极小。股价重新放量回升、站稳在250日均线之上时,表明股价已探明底部,此时可放心介入。
  
  20日与120日均线金叉穿越
  (1)20日均线有效金叉120日均线是股票发生转势的买入信号?有效是指叉后量
  (2)当股票价格走势上穿了120日均线,成交量有所放大,说明了股价已经摆脱了120日均线的压力,股价走势有趋活的迹象。(股价上穿)
  (3)随后20日均线从下向上穿越120日均线形成金叉,就是确认了这种趋势,这时就是买入股票的信号。(20日均线上穿)
  (4)穿越时或穿越后若有成交量明显放大的配合,则这个买入信号的可靠性是极高的。
  (5)当20日均线有效金叉120日均线时,往往意味着随后有一段不小的上升行情
  20日均线金叉120日均线有哪几种形态?
  ① 回头望月.<股价回落盘整>
  其技术走势形态特征为:
  1>股价突破120日均线压力,在120日线上盘整.
  2>当20日均线从下向上穿越120日均线形成金叉买入点时,股票价格走势缩量回落也宣告结束,开始形成上涨的转点;
  3>随后股票成交量放大,股票价格走势开始形成大幅的上涨行情。
  如何确认回头望月的金叉穿越是否有效?
  需要看随后一两个交易日是否有成交量放大的配合,若叉后有量,则回头望月形态成立
  ② 快马加鞭。<股价高位横盘>
  股票价格前期已经穿越了120日均线的压制,处于盘整的走势,此时20日均线正在穿越120日均线。股价升破120日均线的压力后,往往并不回跌调 整,多是高位横向整理,等待着20日均线穿越120均线,而在20日均线穿越20均线的叉点日,出现的是放量拉升的状态。
  ③ 顺水推舟。<股不回跌,不横盘><容易失败的形态>
  当20日均线穿越120均线,形成金叉穿越时,其股价形态,并不象快马加鞭那样迫不急待的上涨,也不象回头望月走势那样有明显的回跌砍确认走势,而是 顺其自然的让20日均线与120均线形成金叉穿越,在穿越后成交量往往出现温和和放大,股票价格走势也不象前两种形态那样出现快速上涨。
  顺水推舟的走势形态,给出的买入信号可操作的时间长,股票价位较低,买入的股价安全性较好。但这样的买点需要有一定的耐性,顺水推舟的技术形态在随后的走势中变数较多,有些会出现失败的走势,应引起注意。
  如何判断顺水推舟形态的成立?
  要依靠股价和成交量的关系,尤其是有没有叉后量出现。
  如何操作顺水推舟技术形态的股票?
  顺水推舟形成后投资者的参考线就是120均线破不破?20日均线的走势方向是投资者的方向。
  20日均线上穿120日均线总结。
  三种穿越形态都需要成交量的确认。当股票在发出叉点买入信号时买入了股票,如何判别我们买入的股票就会走出这三种形态来呢?只需观察随后几天的成交量 的变化,若成交量有放大,形成了叉后量现象,则说明你操作成功。若随后的成交量没有明显放大,则说明你买入的这只股票并不是现在市场的热点,骑大黑马可能 性比较低,但获些小利离场还是可以的。投资者在分析单个股票走势图时,若发现即将大量出现20日均线穿越120日均线前期走势的股票时,往往意味着不久将 有一波大行情出现。
  
  抄底技巧----120跳马
  1、120跳马的形态定义?
  在前面的股价走势中,股价和20日均线120均线形成了顺水推舟、回头望月的走势形态,股票价格走势经过一定幅度的放量上涨后进入盘整过程,无量连续 阴线下跌,突然在某一价位(即120日均线附近)受到强支撑,股票价格走势又开始放量上涨,随后还有大幅的上涨行情。
  2、120跳马的形态的先期条件?
  (1)股票价格的前期走势,应形成了20日均线穿越120日均线的黄金交叉走势形态。
  (2)由于穿越后成交量并没有放得很大,股价没有大幅上涨。
  (3)穿越后,出现的是缓慢盘升行情或横盘整理的走势,这是跳马形态必不可少的。
  (4)无量的连续小中阴线的下跌。“无量”说明主力并不是在出货,实际是庄家的洗盘动作。
  120跳马先期形态的作用?
  (1)是股价蓄势的过程;
  (2)是调整均线系统的过程;
  (3)往往是庄家主力在耐心吸筹的过程。
  
  120跳马中250日均线的作用也非常重要?
  当250日均线与120日均线相距不远,与120日均线形成双支撑,这样,股价触到120日均线附近反弹,则更加有力可靠。
  
  20日均线与120均线形成死叉的警示信号 (包括大盘和个股)
  提示:预示着大暴跌即将来临。20线触120线反弹就是120跑马,向下死叉则是警示信号
  
  20日与250日均线交叉的市场变幻
  提示:20日与250日均线的交叉关系非常类似于20日120日均线的关系
  20日均线与250日均线死亡交叉的滞后特性? 即不能用该死亡交叉来预测股票价格还要下跌.
  20日均线突破250日均线时的黄金交叉点是最佳的买入点。
  在形态特征上,20日均线与250日均线形成的金叉穿越的技术走势中,与20日均线金叉穿越120日均线形成的技术走势非常的相似,也有“回头望月”和“顺水推舟”,而出现“快马加鞭”的技术走势不太常见。
  
  1、三线开花的含义?
  20、120、250这三条均线经过金叉穿越后,像开喇叭花一样,形成极度分离的多头排列的特殊的技术形态,这就叫三线开花。
  2.三线开花的具体形态?
  并线三线开花、顺向三线开花和逆向三线开花。这三种技术走势形态都十分有效的预测股票价格走势的技术形态
  1>并线三线开花?其形态一旦成立有较大的获利空间,是大黑马的摇篮<120日和250日极度平行状态>
  是指在三线开花的初始点,120日均线与250日均线是处于极度接近的平行状态,此时20日均线从下向上穿越这两条均线的技术走势,形成均线的金叉穿越。
  穿越后如果股票价格走势出现大幅放量的上涨行情,就预示并线三线开花走势成立,并将预示均线系统将要“开大花”,其隐含的技术意义就是股票价格将要大幅上涨。
  2>顺向三线开花?其形态一旦成立也有较大的获利空间<120日和250日金叉先>
  是指在三线开花的初始点,120日均线与250日均线是顺向交叉的状态,即120日均线从下向上穿越250日均线,形成两条长期均线的黄金交叉,此时20日均线从下向上穿越这两条均线交叉点的技术走势形态。(交叉点即买入信号)
  形成顺向三线开花的技术走势,并且在穿越的过程中成交量有效放大,就预示顺向三线开花走势成立。
  3>逆向三线开花?一旦形态成立,预示股票将要走牛<120日和250日死叉先>
  逆向三线开花,是指在三线开花的初始点,120日均线与250日均线形成死亡交叉,即120日均线下穿250日均线,此时20日均线由下向上穿越这个交叉点的技术走势形态。
  形成逆向三线开花形态,预示股票将要走牛,但在20日均线穿越120日均线和250日线交叉点时,应有成交量有效放大的支持,这样逆向三线开花形态才成立。
  
  是不是所有的金叉点都可买入股票?
  特殊的均线穿越金叉点不是买点,反而是卖点的走势形态。
  首先,是行情突然暴发,形成暴涨行情,当20日均线上穿120日均线和250日均线即形成金叉穿越时,股价也到了最高位;
  其次,其前期的走势形态既不是“回头望月”也不是“顺水推舟”和“快马加鞭”,若说是“快马加鞭”则没有“突破大均线后的盘整走势”形态,所以这是一种特殊形态;
  第三,这种金叉穿越形态中,有时20日均线并不是顺其自然的与大均线形成金叉穿越,而是被强行的“提带”与大均线来形成“金叉穿越”。有一种强扭瓜的 味道,由于这种“均线金叉穿越”使改变的均线形态变成了目的,既然目的已经达到,也就失去了目标,因此这种金叉穿越点就不是买点反而是卖点了。
  
  120日均线与250日均线金叉买点
  120日与250日均线的金叉买点获利技巧(短线快速暴利买点):120日均线上穿250日均线,形成黄金交叉,此时若股票价格反而是下跌状态,并回跌到120日与250日均线的交叉点附近时,这是一个短线快速获暴利的绝佳买入点。
  
  长牛股的基础:两线顺向火车轨
  当120日均线上穿250日均线后,120日均线和250日均线呈现顺向排列走势,即120日均线在上,250日均线在下,出现多头排列所以叫顺向排 列。在以后的价格走势中,股票价格在120日均线之上,120日均线与250日均线都呈现平稳的上涨走势,两条线近乎于平行线,这样的股票价格走势图形, 叫做“两线顺向火车轨走势”。
  
  90周线特殊形态:周线三线开花
  周线三线开花,是以周线系统中的主要均线参数即5周线、20周线和90周线为主,构成类似于1250日线系统的“三线开花”形态时,这时的周线走势形 态就叫做“周线三线开花”。也就是说20周线与90周线处于并线状态或顺向交叉状态,此时5周线几乎同时上穿20周线和90周线,形成了一个多头发散的均 线排列组合状态。
  
  周线三线开花的重要使用技巧:在使用日线三丝开花时,注意周线三线开花是否也支持。

2008-10-11 What is TED Spread

Paulson 3.0 – 大崩溃的开始

【背景】
Paulson 1.0 – “In Paulson we trust” 根本就没有通过,无疾而终。
Paulson 2.0 – “Buy toxic paper, pray for miracle” 通过了,
但根本就没有来得及实行 – 火就上房了。

金融危机,发展到经济危机,仅仅短短的一周时间。

但是,可以看清三点:

1, 全面的信心崩溃(西方)
2, 因此而引起的TED Spread高居不下会弄倒一堆公司
3, 中国基本上能够置身其外,是个世外桃源。

【正文】

Paulson 3.0 – 自欺欺人的方案

10/10/2008, G7的财长,央行等等开会,家家有本难念的经。
于是,一个个心怀鬼胎,互相忽悠。

本王当时就在冷笑,7家,家家欠一屁股债,谁救谁?
日本有钱?国债是GDP的200%。有钱救美国?

不把中国,俄国,中东请来,就纯粹是忽悠,骗人。

当然,Paulson骗术高明,自欺欺人后还不忘向中国,俄国,
等等,通报一声。依然“倒驴不倒架”,都这样了,还不忘
高人一等。

G7的财长,央行会后,一个个心怀鬼胎,互相忽悠之后,
总得有个交代。就弄出来一个“公报”- communiqué.
是用白话写成的天书。

短短半页,即使本王这么高的水平,也看了两遍才看出来其
呼呼悠悠背后的真相:一个个心怀鬼胎。

公报表面上说:“我们一荣俱荣,一损俱损,blah, blah,”
实际上是没有达成任何协议,各人看着办。

后果是严重的。最先完蛋的会是欧洲。再次证明没有知识是
要吃亏的;贪小便宜会吃大亏;以及德国是目光短浅的。

具体如下:

英国已经基本把银行国有化了 – 基本上是担保了银行的新发的贷款。

美国几经考虑,犹犹豫豫,也已经决定了干,但还是三心二意,不肯
完全担保 – 可能怕把自己也赔了进去。

其他的都是墙头草。只有德国死咬着不肯,傻到了家,亏也吃定了。
德国的原因是怕给其他的欧盟国家(意大利,西班牙,等等)买单。

所以,结果就会如下:

1, 下周初,TED依然很高

2, 美国宣布部分银行国有化,TED略降

3, 英美宣布国有化银行间借贷政府担保,实行低利率spread
(也就是TED实行双轨制 – 美元,英镑的贷款担保,低利率。
对欧元不提供担保,等于在欧元区短期借贷依然都是高利贷)

4, 欧洲各国开始吵架,吵1-2星期不等。因为欧元是共同货币,
所以,任何国家自己也无力担保。法,德可能会搞小集团,但是
估计也无法实行。

为什么无法实行?比如法,德搞小集团,担保两国内的银行贷款,
那么,意大利公司通过在德国的分部贷款,怎么办?

不借?欧元区就会分崩离析。

借?那么就是法,德两国担风险,救意大利。以本王对那帮
欧洲人的理解,打死了他们也不会干。

5, 欧洲各国公司借不到钱,就会想法从英国,美国借。但是贷款
是要有条件的,就是必须有一定资产。后果就是资本从欧洲
向英美流。美元会上升,欧元会贬值,弄不好就垮了。

时间大约1-3周,看美国动作有多快。

对美国来说,这未必不是好事。毕竟资本流入了,有人买单了。

但是,也是坏事。因为没有了欧洲的一堆小国,也就失去了
老大的风光 – 落了单了。

对世界经济,绝对是坏事。1929年时的贸易保护就会出来
– 这次是以货币保护的形式。

当然,货币流通一旦出问题,自由贸易就全是扯淡。大萧条就会来到。

以后再谈。

【结论】

除非欧洲人放下乡下人的斤斤计较(可能性有,但是不大)
世界经济会出更大的问题。可最苦的就是那帮欧洲人。

【附】TED spread可能有人不知道是个啥 – 但是肯定和你的朋友
Ted无关。

TED spread = LIBOR-Fed rate。就是Fed说借钱现在要交1.5%
的利息,但是A银行对B银行说,我借给你,你要是倒了,
我岂不血本无还?不行,多收4.5%,总共6%(三个月)。
绝对的高利贷。

当然,如果美国政府说了:“B银行要是倒了,俺还你”,你当然
信心大增,1.8%的总利率,你也就借了。

B银行本来可能真是快倒了,现在借到钱了,于是,也就活过来了。

【附2】欧洲的商业银行:

全世界的商业银行都一样:存散户的钱,放贷款,吃利息。
但是有差别。

美国的商业银行存1块$,平均放 $0.96。
中国的商业银行存1块¥,平均放 ¥0.82。

欧洲的商业银行存1块Euro,平均放 1.40块。多出来的4毛哪里来的?
从短期市场上借的!

欧洲人小聪明,精打细算,以前短期市场TED也就0.5%。短借,长贷,
吃差价 – 算的聪明吧?

现在完了,短期市场TED,三个月就4.6%。不倒闭就没有天理了。

所以,几个欧洲国家“保证散户积蓄”,目的是吸引新的散户,好
填上这40%的窟窿。没有用的,广大散户也不会到500里地之外
去存100块钱。而且,各国都这么干,就是白干。

聪明过了头了。

【后话】

什么是 TED SPREAD ? (图) 2008-10-14 16:14:46

Many people ask me what is TED SPREAD? Where to get Ted spread quote. From here you can get most of the answers. Hope this will be helpful.

What is TED SPREAD?

The TED spread is the difference between three-month LIBOR (the London Inter Bank Offered Rate) and three-month US Treasury bills

The 3-month Treasury is virtually risk-free (backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government), while lending money to banks can be hazardous to your bottom line. Those who lend to banks deserve something in return for taking on that risk – a premium above what they would have earned by buying Treasuries. That premium is called the TED spread.

Where to find TED SPREAD Chart?

Here is the link for TED SPREAD quote and daily chart:

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=.TEDSP:IND

450) this.width=450" src="http://i35.tinypic.com/fncxhx.jpg" border="0" width="450">

Why TED SPREAD is so important?

There are more than 45 Trilling capital lending around Global based on LIBOR rate. That includes Mortgage Rate, Home loan, Business loan, Student loan, Car loan, etc. If TED SPREAD remains at high level, business can not get loan from the banks or significantly increase the cost of borrowing, this could seized business or significantly damage the business earning power. Most Companies can not do business with each other. This will cause deep economic recession.

Why TED SPREAD is important to stock market?

The current crisis is a function of tight credit. The focus should be on the TED spread, which directly measures credit conditions and is a widely watched barometer of interbank lending.

Last Friday, the TED spread widened to about 455 basis points, the biggest gap in over a decade. This is a spread that many market observers never envisioned seeing. The TED spread is usually around 50 basis points, but rose above 100 basis during the start of the credit crisis. On Sept. 5, the TED spread was just 104 basis points. The most troubling aspect of this 450 plus spread is the fact that the current TED spread mirrors the spread level before the market crash of 1987.

Why is the TED spread rising?

Banks are not keen to lend money right now, and they are demanding a higher premium to do so. After all, so many financial institutions have fallen by the wayside recently, with new names added to the list daily, and this has severely dampened enthusiasm for lending.

The three-month LIBOR is essentially what banks charge each other to borrow money. The spread also reflects declining yields for three-month treasury bills as investors flee to the safety of treasuries, paying higher prices for the three-month bills and accepting lower yields. As investors flock to ultra-safe government treasury bills, yields have fallen. Also, banks' distrust of lending to each other pushes interbank lending rates up, creating a large spread. The TED spread is a key indicator of risk. A wide spread indicates a bigger aversion to risk and points to evidence of distress in the financial market.

Over the last several days you may have noticed an unfamiliar term making its way into financial conversations, namely the TED Spread. The TED spread measures the difference between the three month US Treasury Bill and the three month Eurodollar Future.

2008-10-10 How to invest

In this two weeks, the stock market plunged 30%. This is a good time to learn how to invest on the worst case.
Suppose we have total $30000, after it is divided by 20 days, each day you have $1500.
1. Each day, buy ATM put or call in the end of the day.

2. Next day, if it is more than 30% up, sell it get profit and the next day buy $3000. if lower. buy another $1300 ATM in the end of the day.

3. if the market is plunging so much like this two weeks( Dow one day drop 7% or 8%). wait until the OE week do it.

4. In one month, suppose bu 3 three days long put insurance.

2008-10-07 gold price calculation

黄金走势宏观分析 - 兼谈中国能否挽救万亿外汇损失?

危言

2008年10月4日

本文初衷是分析黄金宏观走势。顺便考察了一下中国黄金储备情况,笔者吃惊地发现,在世界52万亿盎司黄金储备中,中国仅占2-3%,仅相当于美国的十分之 一。如果中国在2003年把全部4000亿外汇用于买黄金,这批黄金在今年最高点时相当于一万一千亿美元。相反这笔钱买了年息5%的美国国债,加上5年的 利息,现在不过5000亿多一点。仅此一项,中国损失了大约5000亿。如果把中国历年购买美国国债的资金算进去,中国外汇损失至少在万亿以上。最近中国 因雷曼倒闭损失几亿美元惊动社会各界,其实这笔钱还不到中国外汇真实损失的千分之一。

言归正传,下面从不同角度分析影响黄金价格涨落的因素。我们列出有利于黄金价格上涨的论据和有利于黄金价格下跌的论据,并用不同方式对合理黄金价格进行推算,不同方式推算的结果相互矛盾。究竟那种方式得出的结论更可靠,望读者凭自己的分析作结论。

一。有利于黄金价格下跌的论据

1)金融机构自救。
短期内由于许多机构面临倒闭威胁,它们会抛出资产自救,这也是最近股市大跌的一个原因。

2)黄金高位。
从长期角度看,从70年代初到70年代末,大约8-9年的时间内,黄金价格从40多美元一盎司上涨到超过800美元一盎司。80年代以后,黄金价格一路下 跌,最低时不到300美元一盎司。下跌期持续了20年。这一时期,黄金平均价格在300到400之间,不到最高点的一半。在1999 年7月达到20年最低点252美元之后,黄金重新开始了一轮新的牛市,至今已有9年[6]。尤其是在2007年9月以后,黄金价格出现超速增长,三个月内 从700美元涨到1000美元,上涨率42%,每月平均涨幅14%。相比之下,从2000年到2007年的7年里,黄金总涨幅是400美元,上涨率 133%,平均每个月涨幅为1.5%。超速上涨造成2008年1月之后的黄金下跌。

3)金油同步。
73-79期间是石油危机时期,在此期间油价大约上升了4倍,从此以后直到2000年,油价一路下跌,2000年以后油价疯涨[7]。黄金价格的升降与此 相似,金油价格有很强的同步性。目前,由于经济危机影响,石油需求减少,造成油价下跌,同时也出现金价下跌。不过,金油价格同步主要表现在年平均价格变化 上,月平均变化的同步性并不那么显著。比如,黄金今年3月达到最高点,油价在7月才达到最高。油价在98年底达到最低点10美元,金价在99年7月达到最 低点。受金融危机影响,未来几年内石油消耗量很可能减少。这可能使原油价格保持比较低的位置,这将影响黄金价格。

5)黄金平均价格。
按照表格[6],把1920年到2000年每年的黄金价格折算成2006年的价格,然后做算术平均,得出的均价是517。这个价格是按2006年的美元计 算的均价,目前美元的发行量估计每年增加8%-10%(见后面的分析),如果以9%计算,黄金均价换算成2008年的美元应该是 614。所以现在的价格偏高。

4)技术分析。
某网友对黄金价格变化的技术分析,认为目前黄金处于中长期下跌通道[10]。


三。有利于黄金价格上涨的论据

1)金融投机赢家。
本次金融危机实质是一场金融赌博的结果。这场赌博围绕CDS信用违约掉期展开。CDS是一张合同,分成甲方和乙方,合同的目的是为甲方发放的贷款作保险, 为此甲方向乙方定期支付保险金,如果甲方的贷款发生违约,乙方向甲方赔偿保险。合同签完之后,甲乙两份合同分别拿到市场上去买卖。认定甲方的贷款不会出现 违约的人买乙方合同,相反观点的人则买甲方合同。CDS市场总量是62万亿。由于次贷危机,违约大量出现,因此持有乙方合同的人将向甲方作保险赔偿。那些 倒闭的银行就是持有过多乙类合同。反过来,那些持有甲类合同的投资人,现在将成为爆发户。一个真实的例子,有家基金公司因为买对了信用违约掉期,1.5亿 投资获得了280亿的回报。

赌博基本定律是金钱总量不变,只是从输家转到了赢家。与赌博稍有不同的是,金融赌博中输家得到政府补贴,因此金融赌场中的总资金是增加的。当我们看到一家 家银行倒下去的时候,就应该想到它们的钱滚滚流入赢家的口袋中。后者在拿到这批巨款之后早晚会找寻合适的地方投资。很可能他们会在输家资产抛售潮接近尾声 的时候大量买入资产,到那个时候会出现金价上升。

2)与70年代比较。
黄金价格自1999年最低点250美元到2008年的1000美元,总共上升了4倍。而70年代黄金从37涨到825,涨幅达22 倍。上涨过程分成两轮,第一轮用2-3年时间从40涨到200,经过4年调整之后,又经过2-3年时间从200涨到800。现在的经济危机比70年代严 重,如果发生类似70年代的黄金上涨,将有4-5倍上涨空间。1980年黄金最高点是825.5,折算成今天的价格是2200美元[12]。

3)金价和油价比值。
历史上金价和油价的平均比值是15:1。最近降到9:1[12]。如果该比值恢复到 15:1,按照现在的油价(90左右)金价将上升到1350。

4)通货膨胀。
通货膨胀不一定造成黄金价格上涨,在60-70期间,80-2000期间,每隔10年美元供应量翻一倍,黄金价格基本保持不变[6]。然而在70-80年 间,美元供应量翻了二倍(从677bn上升到1995bn),也正是在这段时间,黄金涨了15倍。这表明每隔10年黄金翻倍属于正常,但如果翻二倍就会引 起黄金价格上升。2006年以后,美元发行量不再公布,我们不知道美元总量的确切数字。不过我们可以设法推算一下美元发行量。 2000年的美元发行量是7117.7bn,2005年的发行量是10191.4bn,年平均增长率为8.5%,按此计算,2008年的发行量是 13676bn,接近14万亿。到2010年将达到16万亿,不止翻一倍。预期处理金融危机至少多发行2-3万亿美元,按照网友“井底望天”的认真计算, 需要5-10万亿资金才能救市[13]。这样的话,10年中美元发行量将增加1.5-2倍,有可能接近70年代美元发行增长速度。当时黄金上涨了22倍, 这十年上涨8-10倍不是不可能的。

5)对比美元发行量和黄金价格。
黄金价格应该同美元发行量挂钩,也就是说,如果美元发行量加倍,那么黄金升值一倍。要这样做首先需要一个黄金的基准价格。第一步,我们把70年的黄金价格 作为基准价格,即37.6美元(按2006年价格计算为195,历史最低),当时美元发行总量是677bn。根据上面的计算方法,可以推算出美元2008 年的总发行量可能达到15000bn。按比例计算黄金价格应该在833美元。由于70年的价格是历史最低价,所以833美元应该看成是现在黄金价格的底 部。第二步,我们把60年的黄金价格作为基准价,即36.5美元(按2006年价格计算为248,接近历史次低),当时美元发行量为 315bn,按此计算,现在合理的黄金价格应该是1738。根据这一分析黄金价格还要大涨。


6)道琼斯指数和黄金价格比。

图[4]显示道琼斯指数和黄金价格比的历史变化。它显示道指对黄金的比值平均而言呈直线上升趋势。在经济发展快的年代,比值超过平均上升线,在经济危机年 代,比值低于平均上升线。两个突出的例子是,在30年代经济萧条期间,比值下降到2:1,在70年代经济危机期间,比值下降到1:1。当前平均上升线的比 值是20:1,实际比值处在12:1左右,落在平均上升线下方,但远高于前两次经济危机的比值。

此次经济危机的严重程度同前两次危机相当,因此道指和黄金比值很可能达到5:1以下。这就是说,假如道指数降到一万点,那么黄金价格将可以达到每盎司2000美元。假如比值达到3:1,那么黄金价格将达到每盎司3000美元。

截止2008年6月,中国的外汇储备达到一万八千亿,假如金价上涨一倍,就相当于中国损失外汇九千亿。如果金价上升到每盎司3000美元,相当于中国外汇损失一万二千亿。

7)黄金总量。

截止2007年底,世界黄金储备总量为数字为161,000吨,相当于52亿盎司。这个数字不包括在地下未挖掘出的黄金。黄金储备量每年按2%的速度增长,大约3000-4000吨。每年黄金需求量也大体在这个数字。

今年黄金的价格在1000到750的区间内波动,世界黄金总价值仅为5万亿美元。如果按每盎司800美元计算,世界黄金总价值仅为4万多亿美元。截止2008年6月,中国外汇盈余达到一万八千亿美元,几乎可以买下世界一半的黄金。从这个角度看,黄金价格偏低了。

美国的黄金总量为52亿乘27%,大约为14亿盎司。如果按最近的价格每盎司850美元算,美国拥有的黄金不到一万二千亿。如果美国靠出售黄金来获得救市资金的话,那么美国黄金储备将全部耗尽还不够。这也是金价需要上涨的一个依据。

8)世界黄金储备分布

根据2007年统计资料:

美国 -- 27%
欧洲 -- 37%
国际货币基金组织 -- 11%
其他国家 -- 25%

比较以下世界GDP分布。根据2000年统计资料[11]:

美国 -- 22%
欧洲 -- 21%
中国 -- 12%
日本 -- 7%
其他 -- 25%

美欧以外的国家提供了57%的GDP,却只有25%的黄金储备。可以预期世界黄金储备结构一定会调整,非欧美国家会大量买入黄金。

9)中国黄金储备。

中国黄金总储藏量为4000吨到5000吨。2005年中国黄金产量244吨。预期中国黄金消费量将从过去的每年200吨,增长到每年400-500吨[1,2]。

中国黄金储备仅占世界储量的2%。中国的GDP达到美国的一半,而黄金储备不到美国的十分之一。根据这一点,一些外国投资人预期中国会大量买入黄金[12],所以黄金看涨。

2003年黄金价格大约每盎司350美元。当年中国的外汇储备是4000亿。如果全部用来买黄金,至少可以买10亿盎司。使中国的黄金储备量达到世界储备量的20%,接近美国。这笔黄金现在相当于一万亿美元。反过来,如果以黄金价格来计算,中国的外汇储备缩水一半以上。

10) 黄金价格与经济危机关系。

在历史上,很多年间黄金价格是很稳定的。黄金价格剧烈变化的年代主要是重大经济危机的年代。

金矿公司Homestake Mining在30年代大萧条期间股价上升6倍。金矿公司Dome Mining在73-74经济危机期间股价上涨2.6倍。[9]

经过30年代经济大萧条,每盎司黄金从20.67上升到40美元。升幅是2倍[3]。70年代经济危机期间,每盎司黄金从37.6上升到800以上,升幅超过20倍。

2000年时美国股市泡沫破裂,此时也是黄金新一轮大牛市的开始。

现在正处于30年代以来最大的一次经济危机当中,从危机和黄金的关系看,金价应该上涨。

结论。

本文第一部分分析了黄金下跌动力主要来自受危机困扰的银行抛售资产(1),金油价格同步(3)以及黄金历史平均价格(5)。第二部分分析了黄金价格上升动 力主要来自金融投机暴发户的投资(1),每隔10年翻一倍的美元发行量(4),根据美元通货膨胀计算出的黄金合理价格(5),金融危机造成3倍美元发行量 (4,5),危机期间道指和金价走近(6,10),世界黄金储备的不均匀分布(8,9)。综合上述分析,中长期内金价大幅上升的可能性远大于下跌的可能 性。

在前面分析下跌风险的时候,我们用黄金平均价格的方法推算出2008年黄金平均价格应该是610美元左右。另外,我们推算出每年的美元发行量增长率在 8%-10%之间,如果以9%计算,10年后黄金平均价格要达到1223美元一盎司。这是按照看跌的论据计算的结果,如果按照后面看涨的论据计算(见第5 部分),2008年黄金的合理价格是1700美元一盎司,10年中黄金最高价格至少要达到2000-3000美元一盎司。最严重的情况下,十年内黄金可以 上涨10倍以上,超过每盎司8000美元(4)。

按现在的黄金价格计算,目前世界上黄金储备总值不过5万亿美元,中国如果拿出1万亿美元买黄金,可以使得中国的黄金储备占世界储备的份额从2%上升到 20%。10年以后,这笔黄金的价值极有可能在2万亿以上。反过来,如果中国的外汇继续投资美国国债,10年之后,1万亿美元只相当于今天的4千到5千亿 美元,中国2万亿外汇将继续损失1万亿以上。

1 万亿美元购买黄金也许不现实,另外一种选择就是把一部分资金分散投资于美国股市中的优质股票。在经济危机中这些股票的价格已经被压到了完全不合理的低位, 投资这些股票有很大的盈利潜力,对美国实体经济也是实质性的帮助,同时又直接提升了美国民众退休金的价值。这样的投资是利人利己的好事。

2008-10-5 US Dollar index future trading hours

U.S. Dollar Index Futures
FAQ
March 2008
© Copyright Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. 2007. All Rights Reserved.
www.theice.com
®
What is the U.S Dollar Index ?
®
The US Dollar Index (USDX ) is a geometrically-averaged calculation of six currencies weighted against
the US dollar. The US Dollar Index has been in existence since 1973. The 1971 Smithsonian Agreement
ended the fixed exchange rates that had been set at Bretton Woods in 1944, and the US Federal Reserve
Bank began the calculation of the US Dollar Index to provide an external bilateral trade-weighted average
of the US dollar as it freely floated against global currencies.
When did the USDX become available for exchange trading?
®
Futures contracts were listed on ICE Futures U.S. FINEX currency division on November 20, 1985.
Options on the futures contracts began trading September 3, 1986.
What is the contract symbol for the US Dollar Index?
ICE Futures U.S.’s symbol for the contract is DX, followed by the month and year code. The US Dollar
Index is commonly referred to as the USDX. The value of the underlying Dollar Index (sometimes called
the cash or spot index) is typically disseminated under the symbol DXY, although different data providers
may use different symbols. A list of the data vendor symbols for the US Dollar Index is available at
www.theice.com.
Which currencies are included in the US Dollar Index?
The US Dollar Index contains six component currencies: the euro, Japanese yen, British pound,
Canadian dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc. Originally the USDX contained ten currencies—the
ones listed, with the exception of the euro. The euro replaced the West German mark, French franc,
Italian lira, Dutch guilder and Belgium franc.
What are the formula and the percentage weights of the component currencies?
The formula for the calculation of the US Dollar Index is 50.14348112 multiplied by the product of all
components raised to an exponent equal to the % weighting ((EURUSD ^ 0.576) * (JPY ^ 0.136) * (GBP ^
0.119) * (CAN ^ 0.091) * (SEK ^ 0.042) * (CHF^.036) )
The formula is available on www.theice.com
Currency Weights
Euro = 57.6% Canadian Dollar = 9.1%
Japanese Yen = 13.6% Sweden Krona = 4.2%
British Pound = 11.9% Swiss Franc = 3.6%
Is the ICE Futures U.S. US Dollar Index adjusted or rebalanced?
The USDX has only been adjusted once, when the euro was introduced as the common currency for the
European Union (EU) bloc of countries. Without any other adjustments, the combination of components
and their respective weightings in the USDX have yielded performance results similar to other commonly
used US dollar indexes, whether those index methodologies are based on trade weights or capital flow
weights.
How is the US Dollar Index calculated?
The ICE Futures U.S. US Dollar Index is calculated in real time from a multi-contributor feed of the spot
prices of the Index’s component currencies from a major data vendor. This real-time calculation is
delivered to the Exchange and redistributed to all data vendors. The prices of the DX futures contracts
are set by the market, and reflect interest rate differentials between the respective currencies and the US
dollar.
Given the foreign exchange market is a 24-hour marketplace, can I trade the US Dollar Index
contracts at any time?
The DX futures contracts will trade electronically on the Intercontinental Exchange electronic trading
platform from 8:00 pm – 6:00 pm. Eastern time Sunday through Friday, with trading ending at 6:00 p.m.
sm
on Friday afternoon.Trading in DX futures rates may be accessed through WebICE or through multiple
ICE Futures U.S. – USDX Frequently Asked Questions – v2.3 – March 2008 Page 2
www.theice.com
independent software vendors (ISVs). DX contracts are also traded via open outcry on ICE Futures
U.S.’s New York or Dublin trading floors; please visit ICE Futures U.S.’s website for details of the open
outcry trading hours https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/nybot/ICE_Dollar_Index_Contract_Specs.pdf
Exchange rules allow for EFP trades to be executed off the floor. If an EFP is executed when the trading
floor is open, the futures leg of the EFP must be posted to the Exchange within two minutes of the
execution. If the trading floor is closed, the EFP must be posted immediately on the open of the next
trading session. EFPs can be entered by a clearing member either directly into the Exchange’s Trade
®
Information Processing System (TIPS ) or through the services of a ICE Futures U.S. trading floor
member.
How does the market trade the performance of the US dollar now? Why is the ICE Futures U.S. US
Dollar futures contract a better choice?
Institutional investors, hedge fund managers, commodity trading advisors and high net worth investors all
trade variations of US dollar indexes with commercial and investment banks. These various formulations
of dollar indexes are proprietary indexes and do not offer the price discovery and transparency of an
exchange-listed contract. The ICE Futures U.S. DX futures contract is the only successful, publicly-
available, regulated market for US Dollar Index trading allowing access to all investors and offering
competitive pricing and full market liquidity.
What are the contract specifications of the US Dollar Index futures contract?
The DX contract is settled quarterly. Unlike many index contracts, the US Dollar Index contract is settled
by the delivery of its six component currencies. The contract size is $1,000 times the index value—e.g.,
with the Index at 89.45, the value of the contract is $89,450. Each full Index point is worth $1000
(1.00=$1000). The smallest price increment for trading in the US Dollar Index futures contract is .005,
which is worth $5.
The futures contracts are listed for the March/June/September/December quarterly cycle. The futures
contracts settle daily to the volume-weighted average price of all transactions executed both in open
outcry and electronic trading in the closing period (2:59 – 3:00 p.m. Eastern time).
The quarterly settlement at the expiration of the contract is on the third Wednesday of the contract month.
The last day of trading is the two business days prior to the third Wednesday of the contract month, and
trading ends at 10:16 am Eastern time on the last trading day.
Full contract specifications for the US Dollar Index futures contracts are available at
https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/nybot/ICE_Dollar_Index_Contract_Specs.pdf
Are options on US Dollar Index futures available for electronic trading?
Options on US Dollar Index futures are not currently available for electronic trading.
How is the US Dollar Index contract settled at its expiration?
Unlike many index futures contracts, the US Dollar Index futures contract is a physically delivered
contract. The contract settles by physical delivery of the Index’s six component currencies in the
percentages indicated in the composition of the Index. (see above, percentages and weights of
component currencies)
Are the DX contracts liquid?
The USDX futures contract derives its liquidity directly from the spot currency market, estimated to have
turnover of over $2 trillion daily. There will be a market maker program in place for the launch of
electronic trading of the contracts, which should help to assure continuous liquidity. The electronic
distribution of the futures contract on the ICE trading platform should also enhance liquidity.

2008-10-04-(2) why market is down on good news

星期5的利好出货暴跌可能就是大市的见底反转信号。
====================================================

注意,最低点已经过了,但反弹不一定立刻来临。
因为前期短线抄底的资金已经获利回吐,在利好消息发出的
时候,乘机出货。

这说明了什么? 大鳄们资金没有完全到位,场外的其他投资者也还在
观望。 所以,利好出货是投机者同中长线投资者接力交棒失败,
交到了空头的手上。

星期一不立即大幅度反弹,对后市的上升才有持久的动力,
中长投资者一般会逢低吸呐,不会追高,而且是在多个谷底分批建仓。
如果星期一反弹过于强烈,应该果断出货,大市仍然有向下的可能。

老让中长线投资者买不到便宜股票的市场趋势是不可能持久的。

临危不乱,力挽狂澜:十月OE最后两周大势前瞻 2008-10-04 11:19:46

大 盘本周连创新低纪录,先是周一因为众议院未能通过bailout法案道指狂跌777点,SPX狂跌100多点均创下单日最大的下跌,周三晚上参院通过修改 后的法案后,周四市场再次大跌道指348点,SPX大跌49点,周五众议院再度投票通过后市场再次用脚投票,三大指数纷纷创出新低,SPX跌穿1100点 收市。市场一片哀鸿遍野,大有陌路狂奔之势。

没错,现在就是熊市。但是即使再熊,市场也有反弹的需求。跌倒这个份上,再喊抄底,反弹,除了招徕骂名就是嘲讽了。高总这次一路喊来到了今天再作最后一喊:历史性的反弹机遇就在眼前。后面两周的反弹战役一定也会像前面的大跌那样汹涌澎湃载入史册。

为什么要反弹?反弹有多高?先给答案:15-20%的反弹高度将在后面两周完成。

450) this.width=450" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/15y4gn.jpg" align="bottom" border="0" hspace="0" width="450">

按照不可选项的那句名言“history data said UP”,我们来看2002年七月到十月间的走势图vix在触及45的高度后大盘逆转,02年七月如此,02年十月也是如此,都是在vix新高后发生强烈反弹(上图)。再来看现在的情况:

九 月18日盘中vix触及42.5,当日盘中逆转;九月29日市场创下有史以来最大的单日下跌(道指跌777点,SPX跌107点,那指跌199点), vix也因此创下历史新高47.5,大盘第二天(9.30周二)即强烈反弹,但是未能延续,周四周五继续大跌后,vix又再次回到了45以上的高位,也就 是2002年大熊市底部创下的vix高度附近:历史从来不是简单的重复,但是往往却会惊人的相似。高总认为9.30周二那天未能延续的强烈反弹行情将从下 周开始发动,高度SPX是150点左右,也就是说SPY最高反弹高度可见125甚至128。(上图椭圆内画出了后面两周的估计走势示意图)

除 了vix,其他是不是具备了反弹的条件?TECH:AAPL,GOOG,RIMM,INTC都到了典型的反弹驰骋位置;基础材料(肥料):POT, MEE,X,NUE,FCX等等最近两周几乎都是腰斩一半,也都有了强烈的反弹要求(周五POT等已经有所反映,只是最后被大盘拖累);金融股:WFC, JPM,GS,MER,BAC,C等更是有了乘700B东风再次表演的舞台。

这个时候,不再强烈反弹,更待何时?!

STI


STI(SUNTRUST BANKS)属于Financial sector,禁止short selling的成员之一。在前期大家对Financial谈虎色变的过程中,STI已经偷偷摸摸地完成了底部构筑,确立长期向上的趋势。Higher low, higher high。明显的上涨放量,下跌缩量。盘中主力做多的意图清晰可见。在上周已经完成了短期的调整,突破在即,形态非常完美。个人估计,周一开盘就会开在 55以上。不妨在回调时积极买进,50元以下强力买进。长期持有,相信会有丰厚的回报。个人认为明年6月前STI会创历史新高。


STI有强有力的FA基础,虽然不象BAC,C,JPM等银行股那么popular,但更有利于长期投资。从TA图形形态上来看,也比BAC,C,JPM等要漂亮一些,看附图。

BAC


JPM


C


当然名花各入眼,别人可能觉得JPM,BAC,C的上升形态更有魅力。哈哈哈。此为闲话。但有一点是肯定的,金融板块将成为此次行情(暂且不论是反弹还是 反转)的龙头板块,而JPM,C,BAC则是金融板块的龙头股。逢低买入,长期投资总是不错的选择。现在基本可以肯定大盘在中短期内是不会看到新低的。这 从上周市场的反应差不多可以得出结论,而且基本面上也不支持大盘下跌。经济形势是不好,这我承认,而且接下来裁员的风暴会更猛烈,但请记住股市超前经济运 行至少6个月。当你周围那些原本对经济根本就不关心的人,也开始向你说金融危机,说经济Recession时。It’s time! You go to invest. Of course, how do you invest, ETF, STOCK or mutual fund? it’s all depends on you. 这次行情是反弹还是反转? 还有待确认,我个人倾向于是反转。不错,大盘的趋势还是向下,但请看看Financial sector的走势,已经突破了下降趋势的轨道,正在逐步地走出底部,构筑新的上升通道。Again, trend is your friend.

经济有萎缩,必然有增长。所谓波浪起伏,祸福相依。这道理连我们老祖宗都搞得明明白白的,难道我们现代人还要怀疑这个不成?! 哈哈。那些说股市要崩盘的,让我说你们什么好呢?哈哈哈。。。前途是无限光明的,尽管道路很曲折的。否极泰来,经济总会走上康庄大道的。送给那些人一句话 吧,风物长宜放眼量,长风破浪会有时!Be positive in tough time.


好了,既然经济迟早会复苏,那么下一轮经济的增长点是什么呢?到目前为止,我没发现,很多人也没看出来。这也是很多人对经济和大盘悲观的一个重要原因。以 前在每一次经济由衰退转向增长都有一些新的经济增长点。如高科技,房地产等。那么这一次是什么呢?再说一遍,我不知道,也没捉摸不出来。但是,你我没看出 来,并不代表不会有新的经济增长点。恰恰相反,我认为必然会有新的经济增长点。在它还没出现时,或者还很遥远时,大多数的人当然是看不到,也想不到的。要 不大家都是神仙了,哈哈哈。正如那句话所说的那样,“踏破铁鞋无觅处”,“蓦然回首,那人却在灯火阑珊处。”不管下一轮经济增长点是什么,但其必然是需要 大量的资金投入,这些资金也一定会得到丰厚的投资回报的。那么这些资金哪里来的呢?说到这里,我想大家都明白了吧。你能捉摸出新的经济增长点,那非常好! 不能,也没关系,跟着Financial走,你总会吃到头口水的。现在我喊大家买进银行股,和今年上半年很多人呼喊“抢劫银行”,在性质上是完全不同的。 因为,保守地估计,在8月前,Financial sector一直处于下降通道里,根本就没有突破下降通道。Now,it’s different. Financial sector已经摆脱下降通道,逐渐形成了向上的趋势。再则,在上半年,几乎没有多少大的金融机构倒闭,就一个BSC,也不过投资银行的老末罢了。到了 8,9月,形势急转直下,完全不同了,你看看多少的大金融机构倒闭了?!FNM,FRE,AIG,WM,MER,LEH。。。。。已经完全形成了一种恐慌 性的气氛!!!银行挤兑在两三天之内搞死了WM,当然,冰冻三尺,非一日之寒。但这种现象至少表明了恐慌心态已经到很严重的程度,到了政府必须采取措施去 遏制的时候了。现在也正是我们实践巴菲特那句名言 - “在别人贪婪的时候恐惧,在别人恐惧的时候贪婪。”的好时机,那你为什么却偏偏要跟着大家一起去恐慌呢?!没道理!again, nonsense!!!典型的羊群心理!哈哈

题外话,一些曾经呼风唤雨的金融大鳄被残酷无情地绞杀,成了JPM,BAC等强壮,更凶残的金融大鳄的盘中餐。当然这是罪有应得,没什么好可怜的。只是苦了那些普通的员工罢了,叹息一声。。。

说正经的,现在几乎全世界都在想方设法拯救经济危机。中国,日本,欧洲,加拿大,美国等等都在积极行动。因为大家都明白,这是一场谁也输不起的考验,必须要挺过去,也完全能够挺过去的。我对接下来的全球经济合作持乐观的态度。

好了,废话说了不少。个人看法,仅供参考。套用别人的一句话 – “赚了是你的,亏了也是你的。”哈哈

The Market is still waiting for the Congress's approvement on $700 billion bailout plan. Today's information shows that the Bush's administration's $700 billion rescue plane was hammered out by the Congress.

The US Senate Passes Energy Tax Credit today at September 23, 2008 6:00 PM. Solar Stocks Jump in After-H.

Based on today's information, The fundamental analysis is below:
In recent two days. Investors are worried about the $700 billion bailout will decrease the USD. Lots of
funds flow to the oil and gld stocks as hedge against inflation which in the end push the oil stock and gold stock high.

The USA economy doesn't support the high oil price, but the $700 billion will bring oil price up. The only left is reduce the need of crude oil and increase the production of oil. These two ways will balance the reduce USD effects on crude oil.

So what going to happen. Gold probably go up, the crude oil is under adjust, the direction is not clear. the solar stocks should goes up since it is used to adjust crude oil price.

谈谈美国金融危机今后的可能演变路径

次级放贷的危机终于在2008年9月加重。政府开始采取一系列措施试图恢复金融秩序:
1. 政府接管两房;
2. 政府850亿疏困AIG公司;
3. 间接支持BOA收购美林;年初用同样手段帮助摩根收购BSC;
4. 9月19日继续准备拨出数千亿美元(市场传5000亿)用来政府收购金融公司持有的烂账金融资产。(香港1998年建立政府基金救股市,日本2003年政 府收购银行烂账,都基本取得成功。看来美国也沿用此招,试图在市场信心恢复和行情较好的时候逐步卖出持有的烂账资产。)
5. 禁止裸空金融机构的股票;
6. 健全制度,防止新的违规交易导致新的金融烂账;
7. 为基金、MONEY MARKET提供保障,防止投资人和储户信心崩盘,大幅赎回和兑现;

政府救市的力度如此之大,所需资金的取得途径有:
1. 自税收里面拨取;
2. 发行新的联邦政府长期债券;
3. 简单地印刷更多的钱;

由上述危机、疏困和资金来源来看,今后政府应该采取的措施:
1. 要加强经济的持续发展,这是克服危机的根本;
2. 美国目前急需国际资金源源不断地流入;所以必须创造条件加强美元的地位;
3. Obama如果当选,应该效法克林顿1993年之策,收缩美国的军事战线,首先自伊拉克大幅撤军,节省开支。放弃全球独霸战略,改为分点驻军,减少人员, 让外国更多参与全球事务,以减轻自身包袱。果能如此,则美国政府赤字将会转为减少趋势,可帮助美元转强,吸引海外资金回流;
4. 开采美国近海和阿拉斯加油气,鼓励沙特等友邦国家增加石油开采,大力发展新能源和油电混合汽车、电动汽车等,缓和与俄国的关系,从而将石油价格做低到30美元的价格区域。这样美国的通货膨胀可以大幅下滑,自然疏解房市危机和金融危机。
5. 教育和鼓励人民增加储蓄。
6. 在高黄金价格区域开始大幅抛售黄金和白银等贵金属,达到不增发太多债券和印刷钞票的前提下筹措资金并化解金融危机的目的;
7. 开放对外国移民限制(特别是亚洲人),移民为美国带来眼下房市危机的救援。同时缓解将来养老人群的资金的压力。
8. 必须改革选举制度,因为选举制度是承诺性质的制度。两党轮番开支票讨好选民,财政支出只会越来越大,通货膨胀加剧,百姓生活遭殃;另外,目前的当选人首先 考虑的是自己选民的利益,而不是考虑全民的利益。布什政府在政治和政策腐败方面开创的恶例。眼下的金融危机可以说是利益集团脱离监控制衡,政治和政策走向 极端的必然结果。政治和政策必须回到接近0.618黄金分割点的中庸之道。
9. 重新设计计算通货膨胀的种类和权重,将其与百姓生活的支出结合起来考量。特别是住房和健康保险等应该纳入通膨计算。

可能的后续风险:
1. 金融危机继续加剧,出现民众抽取存款等问题,导致政府必须大幅增加货币供应,通膨斡旋上升;
2. 本次危机严重打击国际社会对美国的信心,资金回流不断减少;
3. 婴儿潮一代受到心理打击,自投资市场换现,导致资本市场的长期衰竭;如此,则必然引发更大的危机,因为美国百姓的退休社保、医疗、保险都在资本市场上。
4. 信用市场资金紧张,银行放贷减少,实体经济可能缺乏资金,导致实体经济继续下降;
5. 资产缩水,地方政府税源枯竭,建设项目继续减少,市债券发行成本大幅上升;

对中国的可能影响:

中国目前是世界的制造基地,石油、原材料和产品出口价格都是外国说了算。因此,中国会有不少企业在国际经济衰退当中完蛋,就业压力增大。如此,必然打击到 中国的房地产、股市和银行业。所以,美国的金融危机是否可以得到缓解,整个西方的经济是否可以保持或复苏,将直接关系到中国的危机是否到来。

中国的投资机会已经远离传统行业。将来在有出口潜力的机电行业也许有投资机会。

2008-09-18

Today's big rally was lifted by three forces.

1. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adoped rules to curb 'naked' short selling and take effect right away on 2008-09-18.

2. Government technically lift the stock back to the track.

3. News, Possible financial crisis fix send Dow up more than 400;

From these three measures, we can see how powerful the USA government on the control of stock market. these three measures send out three signals:

1. USA stock market is under control of USA government. If it needed, the USA government can change the rule of the game.

2. The government can easily lift the market to where ever they want to. In today's case, it is more than 400 point.

3. Sending new out on right time. The USA government totally controlled the good news release time and interperation to ease the fears of people.

The above signals show every body that even the financial crisis is huge but the market is still under control of the USA government. This crisis can be solved without problems.

With this context in mind, in short time, strong USD, lower crude oil and commodity price is need to support USA Economy and reduce the inflation.

2008-09-17 Good Rebound

After a stock plunged for a while, the volumes is more than double average volumes for more than 4 days. Usually, good rebound may start. This is just TA analysis. FA must support the TA.

2008-09-16

Today's big event is that Fed keep the key rate at 2 % and prime rate 5% steady. The Market's reaction on this decision is Dow is up 1.3% to 11059.02, Nasdaq is up 1.28% to 2207.9 and S&P is up 1.75 to 1213.6. The leading sectors are Finacial which gains 3 percent and Basic materials which gain 2.3%.

The Fed's view on economy is that the economy is more dour than last assessment in early August. The economic growth appears slowing as consumer hunker down and export growth cools off bit. The strains in Financial market have increased signaficantly.

The first thing Fed need to do is to stablelize the Finical market.
Second thing Fed need to do is to increase the USA internal requirement by reducing the inflation, since the international market is weak also.

2008-09-12

仔细看-下今天的大盘,Basic Materials 上涨了 4.2%, 无疑是今天的赢家。金融板块在LEH,AIG 等股票的拖累下,小涨了0.7%. Crude oil 价格收于101.18, 涨0.31%。黄金收于764。5,涨2.55%。

In recent three months, the Basic Materials has slumped 23%. So tody's Basic Materials rally is a little adjust of recent drops. Don't expect this growing can last long. The slowing America economy can not support high materials. From TA, the MOS, POT touched the top edge of the down trend channel. It's good appotunity for short.

The crude oil is almots 100 perl barrel. even the hurrican can not blow it up. It is so bearish.
It good time to write some OTM call to collect some free money.


Financial Sotcks are in mixed situtation today. The bailout of 2F is indeed a good news for credit market, but the LEH AIG brings uncertainties to the financial market. After checking the new home builder ETF, XHB, I found it's uptrend channel is already there, so I think it probably a good time to buy some XLF.

S&P index is in the down trend channel, it will probably continue is trends.
