Leave for 2 weeks and the market is climbing all

high. Being negative me really lost little. It is lucky that I was using short to hedge the long position. So counting the currency, equity on hand. It is still lucky to have some sweet.

However the strategies ahead, I believe it will be near 9000 in dow and HK will be up further, especially near future settlement day.

However, without the foundamental economic support, I still not believe it will be a bull market.

What I am thinking is about the 1. the interest rate is decreasing will make people invest more.
2. 2010, we may experience high inflation when market back to normal. 3. Thus I will prefer long commodity e.g Gold, agricultural and energy equity.
