The HSBC marked the historic drop -18.79% one day

opened in HK at 45.9 and closed at 46.25 and the major drop for years.
Both the HK and US market will have a little rebound, however, I still believe the worst is not yet come.

I prefer to short when there is rebound around end of this week as most of the people expected good news from china market.

I would prefer to diversify the fund to other sector instead of more on banking sector because the business model has changed. I would keep Standard charter or ICBC rather than HSBC

#5 rights issue. Stay in or get out? What do you think?
"A Big No", that's the heading of today's Next Magazine.
I fully agree with your suggestion. It's better to shift the fund to other aspects than wasting time on those finance stocks.
By the way, are you coming to the guitar lesson tonight?

For the 005, it will be a long run, if already holding 005, I prefer to exercise the right and keep it. Then wait for good time to sell it.

But if u do not have any on hand, buy other China bank will be better if keen on financial market

For long term, it is still not the right moment to buy and hold

For short run, there are many good for trade.

I am so lazy didn't practise so I don't come la
