Be patient to wait for the market behavior on tuesday and wednesday.

19 Jan 2009

The trader is just playing around the HK Market. Actually there are two keys positive news supporting the market 1. it is the UK government support on financial market. 2. is the Obrama release on the fund for banking sector.

It is not the effect of Obrama on broad but the reason is the release of the money.

If it is correct, the pressure on HK index will be solved

For China Market, the market seems quite positive. But I still believe the 2000 is the dangerous level for Shanghai Market. Even it run high. I still prefers to gain money first on 2823. Why? It is because the volume on Shanghai market is reducing.

Most of the people is worry about the bond market of US. Therefore I had found two short bond ETF to share with you all

1. PST Ultra short 7- 10 Y Treasury bonds
2. TBT Ultra short 20 Y Treasury bonds.

But little to keep watch the performance and the market

For Market behaviour see the following remark

The same, if you have profit. Why not take it before Chinese New Year Holiday for HK Market?
