Hitting the Energy Wall

The world has hit the Energy Wall. Long warned that the natural resources of the earth are depleting faster than we thought, we are still not doing anything about it. The demand for oil has become so inelastic that the price of oil keep rising.

It is time for us to decide. Continue to be dependent on oil and suffer the foreseeable consequences OR actively finding alternative sources of energy and at the same time, try hard to conserve energy. Not just for the sake of being part of the GREEN company but truly for the place we reside in.

Enduring the Bear Market

There is a very good article on stock investing written by Prof Chan Yan Chong. I like to read his article as he explains terms in an easy to understand manner.

I find this quote of his very classic "The bear market will only end when investors no longer have the guts to buy into the stock market."

Check it out. Prof Chan Yan Chong's Column

The Wild Card

Many people think that it is the rising oil price that will break the camel's back for the world markets. But they missed out a critical element- the declining US dollars.

Some believes that it is the falling US dollars that drives the fuel for the speculation of the oil commodity.

Will somebody just stop the slide to prevent the oil price from going through the roof!

Public Enemy No. 1 - INFLATION

The whole world is fighting Inflation. From US to China to Vietnam.
Why? Because Inflation is a general rise in price level for a sustainable period of time.

Soaring crude oil prices push up transportation costs, will eventually cause food and other items to rise as well. Time to buckle up for a tough ride!
