Puzzlebird: this viewpoint coincides with Mr. Liu for next 2-3 years. Firstly, gold and property will crash; secondly, RMB will depreciate a lot; thirdly, USD will raise a lot! Hence, hold the cash (and some bond) for next 2 years, and consider 2011/2012 for entry for stock (2011) and property (2012?).
在一个波澜起伏的市场 中，要学会持赢保泰。
经历了二十年的风风雨 雨，深感《金刚经》中的这句话最为受用：应无所住。
Once the owner has stayed in the HDB flat for minimum period, it is allowed to sublett whole HDB flat and live in the private property. In my case, where the HDB was purchased from open market without CPF grant, the minimum occupation period is 3 years and we have met the requirement.
The information is official from HDB website FAQ (under Living HDB Plats –> Purchasing Private Property).
BP has been seriously hit by oil leakage event. The share price dropped from USD (Apr 20) to now 31 USD. I have reviewing the situation in last two weeks. After the stock price hits 29 USD, I was tempted to buy the stock.
Harvard Business Review is one of the best magazine for management. I have read through the Jun issue. Below are excerpt I like. In following weeks, I will try to read more previous issues.
A company that is planning a product launch should as k not only “How can we capture customers’ attentio n and whet their appetites so as to maximize product sales?” but aLso “How can we genuinely improve things for the customer through a better-pla nned launch?” The answer to the first quest ion is to generate myst ique. The answer to the second is to reach as many customers as poss ible at launch and ensure sufficient supply so that there are no stock outs and customers ca n get the product without hardship.

男人擅长用攻心术征服自己 想要的女人。
很多男人都明白这个道理：想获得一个原本不怎么爱他的女人的爱，也是分时间分 场合的。
在这几个时刻里，女人对爱的抵抗力，是最低的。
比如，幽闭的环境里。日落黄昏时。约会结束后。等等。

一切都在如刘先生的预言一样的发展。看下面新加坡财政部长的话。
全球开始加息的步伐要开始了，说明股市和房市都是要下来了。
尚达曼上个月接受美国有线电视新闻（CNN）访问时表示，中国应该让人民币的兑率上升，以便使通货膨胀率下降。他表示，中国应该让人民币开始较快速地增值，在2008年金融危机时，人民币基本上暂停波动。
谈到欧洲的债务问题，尚达曼认为，环球经济正面对新一轮的“不稳定因素”，假设欧洲的债务问题扩散开来，传染到其他区域，欧洲可能再度引发环球信贷紧缩的风险。他指出：“我不认为我们已回到2008年的情况。”
他也不认为，这会引发雷曼事件之后的不稳定情况，但却会有风险。他说：“我们必须保持警惕和敏捷地应对这些风险。”
尚达曼在旧金山的亚洲银行和金融大会上的讲题是：“环球复苏：亚洲和新的金融业”
从6月7日至10日，尚达曼除了出席旧金山的大会之外，也会到德国柏林出席一个为期两天的大会，与德国的财政部长一起发表演讲。
