Philipkee Twincharged September 4, 2019 Share September 4, 2019 (edited) @Throttle2 Since you are the financial guru here I wanna ask you one question. Everywhere I read it seems that Hong Kong economy is in turmoil.. Then how come the hang seng index is not in free fall but holding steady? Doesnt make sense to me. Solli I noob at this. I always thought the stock market is an indicator for economic health... Edited September 4, 2019 by Philipkee Typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an easy task for anyone at this juncture but CL might has just opened the floodgates... However, I choose to see it as half a glass filled and hope this move can instead put out many fire spots, flush out the discontentment, reset the city and start afresh to integrate better with the mainland for the next 28 years. Fingers crossed for the majority peace loving HK people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the stock market is an indicator for economic health... Bro, i am no financial guru its my sifu @enye But let me the disciple try to explain. if you look at the corresponding period when the riots happened till yesterday, you will realised that it has dropped a huge 10% within a short period. The crash was a clear result of fear in the hearts of investors due to the negative impact of the riots on the HK economy at large. Likewise todays 3% upswing was representative of the relief or the optimism from Carrie Lam's announcement regarding the bill. So in a nutshell, the stock market is an indicator of economic health, ultimately yes. but economic health is the result of political stability, business sentiment and growth outlook. Since no man wants to be the last left standing, it operates in an expectant mode. In other words, the past andthe present has less weight than the future. So With regards to your freefall, it has fallen and Freefall also will hit the ground or bottom. Got up also got down mah.... Cheers Nb. Plse thank my sifu @enye for his good teachings if you appreciate my post Edited September 4, 2019 by Throttle2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plse thank my sifu @enye for his good teachings if you appreciate my post Sorry. Maybe I wasnt clear. Before the riots it was about 30,000 points. It's now 25000-26000 points. When I meant freefall I was thinking of down to 10000 points for example. 10% drop doesnt seem like a lot to me.... So since the hang seng is holding steady, can I assume that the market also assumes Hong Kong economy will also be steady in the coming days or months? @Enye Calling your shi fu as well Edited September 4, 2019 by Philipkee More details Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Supersonic September 4, 2019 Share September 4, 2019 Interesting quote from SCMP: Quote Here are some statistics on the social unrest rocking Hong Kong since June 9: 1,183 people arrested (as of today, September 4) Other figures as of September 2, Monday: 2,350 rounds of tear gas fired Nearly 780 rubber bullets fired 515 sponge-tipped rounds used 26 beanbag rounds fired 3 instances of water cannons deployed 1 schoolful of people was arrested. Now, the burden will be on Department of Justice to prove they are guilty as charged. Let's see how many lawyers will resigned with so much MORE work to do.

I sure bankrupt one Buying low and selling high is but one and the most elementary of all strategies. Perhaps you may want to learn the other 2 sell low buy lower buy high sell higher Becos in the normal course of cycles, there are more encounters of the second and third kind. Getting back to topic i picked out a session that MM Lee had when he was in HK many years ago. The earlier parts of the session is more relevant to the current situation in HK.
