Be careful the market still swinging, aware the currency expecially AUD

The AUD touch the short term bottom @0.67712 and back to 0.6901 today in day time. No matter how the G20 meeting will be, the safer currency will still be AUD.

EUR , GBP and US are all facing difficulties, AUD and NZD is the safest. Aware the G20 meeting and focus on the movement of AUD. I had bought some AUD already. In future 3 years, the market will experience the inflation. In long run, the commodity country like Australia, Brazil and Africa will be better.

For the security market, it will be a swinging month for April and May. Once it goes up, Don't believe the market is return to better position. The economy is still hard to recover because of the credit card default , the increasing unemployment rate and the decreasing value of house price in US and EUROPE.

For China, we have to be very careful about the figure and result.
