Gold:
Current Price $855
3 month target price: $1000
Long term trend: despite the strength of USD, inflation worries will bring gold to get pass $1000/once again
Forex: Euro:
Current Price 1.5423 vs USD
1 month target: 1.5375, then rebound (updated on May 6) (fulfilled on May 8)
6 month target price: below 1.5000 (change target to 1.5250 on May 30)
Long term trend: USD continue to get strong throught out 2008
Reason: The market had been too pessimistic on USD before.
Hang Seng Index:
Current Price: 26241
1 month target: 27300 (totally missed the target, as the trade was suggested by technical indicators, and the lack of fundamentals support for this trade also contribute to its failure.)
Reason: had been bottoming out recently, stead rise till July
Dow Jones Index:
Current Price: 13058
6 month target price: 12000 (fulfilled on 20 June)
Will start the downward trend until 1 July. (price target early met by 20 June)
reason:
- inflation in commodities will force U.S. to rise interest rate eventually
- ibanks' 3rd quarter result shouldn't be too good
- US may had prevented a recession, but its economy is not going to expand quick anyways

Current price: $114.45/Barrel
6 month target price: $122/Barrel (fulfilled on May 9)
Long term Trend: continue to rise though out 2008

Some pieces of advice that I learnt from my trading life:
- Technical indicators are actually very useful for trading; however, the fact that a normal Joe investor doesn't know how to use them correctly, makes the public stay away from these indicators. In fact, they are created for analyzing different market conditions: some indicators works well in the trending markets, while other indicators works well in the range-bounded markets. These indicators will also become fatigue (predict the market with less accuracy) along the time when they are being used for prolonged period of time. Once you know the limits of different indicators, profiting from the market with technical indicators will be a easy job.
- Regarding automated trading systems that exercise a certain fixed rules to profit from market: only inexperience investors should lose money when they think a system based on old data will continue to work in the future too, real traders know it is wrong. As the market conditions are changing every once in a while, the ideal automated trading system should be a system that keep on optimizing its operating rules from time to time.

| 財華社香港新聞中心。 大市近日反彈,但瑞銀策略員陸東昨天發表的最新報告,再將恆指今年的合理水平調低5.96%,由本來的28,500點調低至26,800點,相當於17.8倍預測市盈率,原因是預計不少重磅藍籌股今年的盈利會進一步下降。 陸東認為,82 隻本港股份今年的預測每股盈利增長,已由去年九月高位,大幅回落12.92%,其中三隻大藍籌匯控(00005-HK)、港交所(00388-HK)及新鴻基地產(00016-HK)的預測每股盈利跌幅,前兩者各跌超過兩成,港交所的跌幅更達42%。 不過,陸東表示,雖然企業盈利增長放緩的情況繼續出現,但亦不代表牛市已終結,因本港金融市場未見大規模槓桿借貸現象。他特別看好信和置業(00083- HK)等本地地產股,因單位供應仍較市場需求少,對地產商有利,而他又將大新銀行(02356-HK)納入推薦名單,認為其估值被低估。 |
