India’s Big Gold rush !!

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 10:37:00 +0000

India is going its own way and it seems it know what it wants … with a $US6.7 billion gold purchase. The transaction turned heads in markets. It should do the same in capitals from Beijing to Washington. The Chinese beauracats have been left thinking , if the Indians have stolen a quick one while thery were nto paying attention to the IMF.

India’s 200 metric-ton deal wasn’t huge considering how much gold central banks hold. It’s the symbolism that matters as the US struggles to keep the dollar’s slide orderly and panic- free. Consider India the vanguard of central banks more aggressively diversifying reserves away from US assets

3 things we can conclude from India’s gold rush.

The dollar’s is just getting worse.
Mounting US debt is still a worry
This US recovery Doesn't not look like a convincing one.

Asia’s tolerance with falling US assets is evaporating. India’s gold grab from the International Monetary Fund’s bullion stash is the latest reminder of that.The price of gold leapt to a record peak of $US1,093.10 an ounce in trading in London on Wednesday in the wake of the International Monetary Fund's massive sale of the precious metal to India.

Two, India’s got game. China doesn’t talk much about its currency reserves, yet you have to imagine a few top officials in Beijing are red-faced this week. "How on Earth did India beat us to the punch?" policy makers must be asking. China seemed the overwhelming favorite to get the first chunk of the gold the IMF is offloading to shore up its finances.

India has now gone past Russia to become the ninth-biggest government holder of gold, China is now looking at even higher precious-metals prices.

Gold had already reached a record high of $US1,087.80 on Tuesday as the IMF said it had sold 200 tonnes of gold to India's central bank over a two-week period last month for $US6.7 billion ($A7.42 billion) to bolster its finances.

While India’s people are major gold hoarders, the government hasn’t been a big one. India really did display the savvy of a hedge fund here. It got what it wanted, surprised markets and will sit back and reap the benefits as gold rallies.

Double Shock On Melbourne cup day

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:29:00 +0000

So we have been hit with a Double whammy on the Melbourne cup day , thanks to Shocking and the RBA.

SHOCKING RESULT FOR MELBOURE CUP FOR MANY

First we all lose our money to shocking as it made a grand mark in the Melbourne cup 2009 by leaving all the other favorites behind to eat its dust. None of the favorites VIEWED , ALCOPOP , Roman Emperor Was anyway close by to be seen while SHOCKING made a run for its glory on the finish line.

Crime scene did a good job taking in second place by a whisker after shocking. It was shocking new to many as non of the favorites won and many punters disappointed .. but leaving the bookies laughing.

RBA RAISES RATES BY 25 Basis Points today 3 Nov 2009

To add to our misery The RBA went ahead and did a 25 basis point rate cut today and thus be ready to see even more money going out from your bank account if you hold a mortgage

As was widely expected by economists, the Reserve Bank board lifted the cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.5 per cent. Mr Swan says Australians should expect rate increases as the economy recovers from the global financial crisis.

WESTPAC has matched the central bank, increasing its standard variable mortgage interest rate by 25 basis points.

The bank's standard variable home loan rate will rise to 6.31 per cent as of Friday November 6, from 6.06 per cent, Sydney-based Westpac said in a statement on Tuesday.

In the spotlight - Felix resources ( flx)

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:07:00 +0000

Felix Resources (FLX)

up 3.8% to 1740c after the government approved Yanzhou’s $3.54bn takeover.

In a new requirement, Yanzhou will have to refloat 30% of Felix on the market by the end of 2012. Good news for those seeking approval for China deals.

Assistant Treasurer, Nick Sherry, has approved Yanzhou Coal's $A3.5bn takeover of Felix Resources. Under the deal, Yanzhou must float a minimum of 30% of its Australian assets, including Felix, by late 2012, and it also has to reduce its holding in underlying mining assets to less than 50%. A spokesperson for Sherry said foreign investment decisions will continue to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

'Yanzhou's commitment to Felix and the Australian economy is widely acknowledged and appreciated by Felix,' managing director Brian Flannery said on Monday in a statement.

The immediate impact is likely to be in trading for Felix Resources, Aquila Resources and Nufarm. Investors in all three companies have been on edge since last month when FIRB made public its preference for Chinese state-owned companies to hold less than 50 per cent of project developers and 15 per cent of major producers in the sector

Hedge funds and others investing in takeover targets have been very nervous of late, as have bankers that depend on China for deals in the sector. Therefore, share prices of existing and likely Chinese investment targets should be on the rise today.

Felix had been trading at $16.75 - below the offer price of $18 - before the FIRB decision was announced after the market closed on Friday.

$$ 15 million for new ANZ BANK logo !!

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:54:00 +0000

Just coming back from the great big financial bust and dip , the banks are now flush with cash again and looking more confident with ANZ new Millions Dollar logo. The question is it Appropriate ? ( just liek the BIG $$$ raises some CEO’s are receiving in spite of companies running at a loss )

Its a 15 Million splash by ANZ for thier New logo

Coming back right from a stockmarket bust to boom this will surely look like a bit of overspend . Maybe some graphic designers can shed some light on how much a normal or then a little bit more professional looking logo can cost a company!!

Here is the logo - you be the judge

NEW ANZ 15 Million LOGO

ANZ bank has splashed $15 million on a new logo that it claims reflects its 'human' side.

The new logo, at right, features a 'modernised' font and a central 'human' shape that "represents ANZ’s customers and people" flanked by three shapes that signify the bank's operations in Australia, New Zealand and Asia-Pacific.

Now lets wait for the 20 mill and 40 mill Comm bank and Westpac logo .. wot say !!

Flurry By hedge funds in the market

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:24:00 +0000

Hedge funds have come out from hibernation to get the market in a bit of action today. Hedge funds have been busy buying banks as the banks look more and more attractive as they inch the australian markets higher with stock market investing today.

Hedge funds action in the Australian markets

Hedge funds are buying into Australian stocks, especially banks, in a currency play, broker Southern Cross Equities said. "This currency carry trade in banks has taken the major banking sector to a premium to the broader market. I think that's ambitious," Southern Cross' head of institutional dealing, Charlie Aitken, said in a note.

"What concerns me is Australian equities, but particularly Australian banks who account for a record 30% of the index, are part of one giant hedge fund currency trade. We all need to be acutely aware that an unexpected move in currencies will have exponential ramifications for the related equities.

They are major wheels that are turning, a lot more than just short-term hedge funds games, indicating our ride has a lot further to run yet.

The Aussie dollar's rise above 92 U.S. cents helped lure funds into the top four banks, which climbed between 0.3 and 1.4 percent Retail stocks were mixed. Coles owner Wesfarmers rose 21 cents to $26.25, Harvey Norman gave up 6 cents to $4.33 and David Jones retreated 7 cents to $5.68.

The Australian share market has ended firmly in positive territory after strong commodities prices drove gains among resource stocks. At the close, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was up 53.4 points, or 1.1 per cent, at 4846.2 points, while the broader All Ordinaries index rose 51 points, or 1.1 per cent, to 4842.8 points

U.S. inside-trading net widens to rattle hedge funds: sources

U.S. investigators plan to charge at least 10 securities professionals with insider trading, some linked to the criminal case against billionaire hedge-fund manager Raj Rajaratnam that shook Wall Street last week, say people familiar with the matter.

The pending crackdown, some two years in the making and among the biggest undercover looks at alleged insider trading, may yield charges against hedge-fund managers and associates this week, the people said, seeking anonymity because the cases are not public. More here

BHP AND RIO Says Giddy up !!

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 22:35:00 +0000

BHP and rio tinto has single handedly contributed to a large rise in the stock market in recent times and how !!. The market has shot up tremendously in the last few months and a big part of the gains other than the Banks and the small mining minnows is the two aussie mining giants BHP BILLTION an RIO TINTO.

I was speaking to my colleague the other day and she said she was pretty happy to be going on her well deserved holiday after snapping up a lot of 1400 shares of Rio Tinto Shares In December 2008 a for 28 $ a Unit and now selling it at its current levels . she has pocketed about over $50,000 just in the last couple of months.

Investors in Bhp billiton have also been reaping the rewards of the the sudden surge in the price and will be surely taking in some profits. Sadly FMG ( Fortesque Metals Greoup ) has not been doing that well on the stock market charts recently but has still recovered well above its December lows to make some a decent profit !! This could be the dark horse yet .. that can still make some more millionaires as they are still steadily heading in t he right direction and the current price could surely be a discounted price looking at a long term point of view.

Current stock prices

BHP.AX 39.200 [+0.300]

RIO.AX 64.920 [+0.130]

BHP launches $204 million bid for United Minerals

United Minerals was worth $20 million three years ago, and its key asset is an iron ore deposit in the Pilbara which is adjacent to a deposit owned by one of BHP Billiton's subsidiaries.

"BHP Billiton is the logical owner and developer of the Railway Deposit given the proximity to BHP Billiton's iron ore deposits, and established mine and rail infrastructure," BHP's iron ore president Ian Ashby wrote in a statement.

BHP wants to buy all the company's shares, and is offering $1.30 a share - which is 43 per cent higher than UMC's last closing price.

BHP says the offer is final, unless a competing bid is launched, and is conditional on UMC abandoning a plan to give China Railway Materials Commercial Corporation a stake in the company.

Is it the time to sell my shares ?

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:34:00 +0000

To hold on to shares or to sell now !

Unlike the environment that the world’s greatest investor Warren Buffett enjoys – a population that is almost 14 times greater than Australia’s 22 million – our companies eventually saturate their market and growth slows. Companies that continue to retain profits when they reach this point, with the aim of diversifying away from their core expertise or in the hope of garnering the market’s attention through acquisitions, have a poor track record of maintaining their previous rate of value appreciation and wealth creation.

In such an environment, buying and holding forever is like the man inflating a dinghy in a dried-up lake: he hopes to have fun but he does not.

There are, however, four reasons to sell.

1 The first cause for a reassessment is when I am wrong. Unsurprisingly, I am prone to making errors of both omission and commission. The objective is to minimise their frequency and the magnitude of their impact.

The information in an annual report – while it is usually reliable, companies still make all kinds of announcements between the release of those reports that are not subject to the same scrutiny and it is here that information can be mirage-like in its opacity.

2 The second reason to sell is when the grass is greener elsewhere. Australian companies do eventually run out of opportunities for value accretion and another company may offer the opportunity to increase in intrinsic value at a faster rate. (Alternatively, another company may simply offer much better value.)

In these circumstances a sale is overdue and “greener” grass is offered by the shares of another.

Buffett’s sale of Johnson & Johnson – a good company - to participate in the special issues of Goldman Sachs and General Electric is an example of this kind of selling. If you recall, Berkshire Hathaway sold off the pharmaceuticals giant to participate in refinancing exercises at both Goldman Sachs investment bank and the General Electric conglomerate during the depths of the global financial crisis.

3 The third reason to sell is when the company in whose shares you are invested have simply rallied too far beyond intrinsic value. This is a relatively recent revelation for me.

4 The final reason for selling is an observed deterioration in any of the factors that caused one to acquire the shares in the first place. If the outlook for the company’s prospects change adversely or if management act in away that does not reflect a shareholder orientation – for example, they grant themselves excessive options, pay themselves a salary beyond their ability, engage in nepotism or make dumb capital allocation decisions – then a reason for selling is triggered.

Europeans stocks on a High !!

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:02:00 +0000

BHP Billiton Ltd., the world’s largest mining company, and Kazakhmys Plc jumped more than 8 percent. Valeo SA, France’s second-biggest auto-parts supplier, surged 19 percent after CA Cheuvreux recommended the shares. Deutsche Bank AG and Barclays Plc climbed more than 5 percent as European banks were raised to “overweight” at Bofa Merrill Lynch Global Research.

European stocks posted the biggest weekly gain since July after U.S. service industries expanded for the first time in a year and basic-resource shares rallied on an unexpected profit from Alcoa Inc. and higher metal prices.

Europe’s Dow Jones Stoxx 600 Index added 3.7 percent to 242.73, as all 19 industry groups advanced. The measure has rebounded 54 percent since March 9 as companies worldwide from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to Bayer AG and L’Oreal SA reported better-than-projected earnings and the French and German economies exited recessions

Two years ago British bank HBOS (HBOS ) ranked No. 1, and financial firms, utilities, and consumer-product marketers dominated the top quartile of the 50. This year, China's demand for commodities, and its impact on everything from oil prices to shipping, has pushed a new group into the winners' circle. British mining concerns Rio Tinto (RTP ) (No. 22) and Anglo American (AAUK ) (No. 36) are two examples. Shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk (No. 4) has also reaped profits from the China trade. Similarly, high oil and gas prices have put energy companies like Norway's Statoil (STO ) (No. 2), the Netherlands' Royal Dutch Petroleum (RD ) (No. 13), and France's Total (TOT ) (No. 20) in the upper echelon. But already fears of a commodities slowdown have affected these stocks. BHP shares, for example, are off 10% in the past few months. If BHP's profit growth tracks its stock price, another company will claim top honors next year.

“Since the spring, investors have anticipated the improvement in the business cycle, responding to the exceptional fiscal and monetary policy measures put into place to prevent a multi-year recession,” said Andrew Milligan, head of global strategy at Standard Life Investments Ltd., which manages about $195 billion. “There should be further positive surprises to corporate earnings into the winter as output recovers.”

Australia RBA rate increase creates a flurry all around the world

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:24:00 +0000

The RBA set rates at 3.25 percent today, up 25 basis points from 3 percent, fuelling a further rally in the dollar as confidence in the Australian economy soared. The Reserve Bank of Australia has become the first major central bank in the world to raise interest rates since the onset of the financial crisis, signalling a strong recovery in the economy.

Here is a snap shot of Google Stock and business news below which shows that the whole world is talking about the RATE RISE IN AUSTRALIA , we being the first country to raise rates after the Bust. We must surely be doing pretty good for this to happen to us :)

But only time will tell i suppose

Commodity warrants heats up with water trading

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:04:00 +0000

The cool waters are setting people hearts on fire . Water is slowly and steadily climbing up the trading charts. The government is slowly buying up water trading licenses and off course no more licenses are issuing. There is a reason for that It is becoming more scarce. The people left with the licenses are now sitting on GOLD and you do know how gold prices are at the moment.

Water effectively is tomorrows GOLD

HUNDREDS of water trades in Victoria will be allowed from tomorrow after a 10 per cent cap on entitlements was officially granted.

Water trading is going to hot up

Victorian Water Minister Tim Holding says removing the cap on non-water users will give irrigators greater choice."It also frees up water to be purchased from sellers as part of the Australian Government's buyback program to return water to the Murray River for the benefit of the environment,'' he said in a release.

The cap on the volume of water entitlements that can be owned by non-landowners had been in place since 2007. The 10 per cent restriction had existed to ease concerns that big corporate clients would gobble up vast amounts of water and control the market price.

How River Murray Water came about

From the mid-1990s, a number of factors have been influencing Australian water authorities to create more business-like arrangements for delivery water services. The two most important factors are:

Separating service delivery from regulatory and resource management policy matters so as to achieve clear and effective outcomes; and
Putting pricing for services on a clear basis which removes cross-subsidies, promotes efficiencies, and ensures sustainability of the assets of the business through full cost recovery.

The Council of Australian Governments when endorsing in 1994 a strategic framework for the efficient and sustainable reforms of the water industry, specifically required the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council to put in place: 'arrangements so that out of charges for water, funds for the future maintenance, refurbishment and/or updgrading of the headworks and other structures under the Commission's control be provided.'

In response to these various drivers, the Ministerial Council decided that a 'water business' should be established with the mission:

"In accordance with the Council of Australian Governments water resource policy and Murrray-Darling Basin Commission policies, to contract with each owner of the water to provide a delivery service which generates adequate revenue to allow effective maintenance and long term replacement/creation of assets and the move towards a positive real rate of return in accordance with a timetable agreed with the owners of the business."

Following developmental work by an advisory committee, River Murray Water was established on 1 January 1998 as an internal business unit of the Commission.

A Board operating as a committee of Commission guides the activities of River Murray Water.

The rapid decline of Credit card debt in australia

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 00:12:00 +0000

Australians are switching from credit to debit cards as they avoid extra debt in a new era of fiscal conservatism. The value of purchases and cash advances on credit and charge cards fell 1.4 per cent to $19.139 billion in July compared with the month before, data from the Reserve Bank revealed today.

Reserve Bank statistics show credit cards are being payed off at the fastest rate on record.The figures show the average credit card balance stood at $3,100 dollars in July.That is 0.6 per cent lower than a year ago.

There were 135.806 million transactions worth $19.250 billion in December, compared with 122.081 million transactions worth $18.314 billion in November, a rise of 5.1 per cent in value terms.

Australian homeowners seem to be struggling not only with their mortgages but also with credit cards after a recent survey found that the majority carry both forms of debt.
Mortgage insurer Genworth found that 71 per cent of homeowners were responsible for both a mortgage and credit cards debt and carry over an unpaid debt on their credit cards. However, Genworth also found that 52 per cent of people holding credit cards debt carry over this debt while the remainder make their repayments on time.

However, the data shows the rate at which credit card debt is accumulating is slowing.

CommSec's Chief Economist, Craig James, says it is the fastest decline since records began 14 years ago. "Household finances are in good shape, people have gained from the fact that taxes have been cut income levels have been rising and interest rates have been falling, but they're using that extra cash to pay off credit card debt," he said.

"And if they're going to make any purchases they tend to use debit cards rather than credit cards." The figures also show Australian banks are weathering the financial crisis well, but still have some way to go to completely mend their balance sheets.

On the rise - European Markets

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:49:00 +0000

Europe shares hit a 11-month closing high

European stock markets ended the week in positive territory on Friday, swept along by investors optimistic about global economic prospects and a strong reading on a US consumer confidence index.

The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 .FTEU3 index of top shares provisionally ended 0.6 percent higher at 993.97 points, its highest closing level in 11 months.

Elsewhere in Europe there were gains of 0.7 per cent in Amsterdam, 0.4 per cent on the Swiss Market Index, 0.8 per cent in Milan, 0.3 per cent in Brussels and 1 per cent in Madrid.

European shares closed higher on Friday, rising for the sixth consecutive day, as hopes about a swift global recovery pushed miners and banks into positive territory, while overseas macroeconomic data also helped.

The index plummeted 45 percent in 2008, but has gained nearly 20 percent this year, soaring 54 percent since falling to a record low in March.

However, it is still down almost 15 percent from its level in mid-September 2008, before the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

Mergers and acquisition activity has also made a return. This week, Kraft revealed a £10.2bn approach for Cadbury, while Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom announced plans to merge their UK operations.

Miners rose, with Rio Tinto (RIO.L), BHP Billiton (BLT.L), Anglo American (AAL.L) up between 1 and 3 percent.

Across Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 index .FTSE was up 0.5 percent, Germany's DAX index .GDAXI advanced 0.5 percent, and France's CAC 40.FCHI rose 0.8 percent.

Now Pre-paid credit cards for teens

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 10:10:00 +0000

Pre-paid credit cards for teens

Imagine the opportunity here. A market which spends an incredible amount of time online, with (in most cases) nothing but disposable cash which is already topped up on a card and ready to be spent online - on whatever they choose.

The card is available to 13 - 18’s, costs only $5.95 to setup and can be topped up to a maximum of $1000 spend limit.

In a way, we could look at it as prepping the next generation of consumers, acclimatizing them to the process of shopping online.The card comes with a catch (albeit a very minor one), the holder of the card needs to have an active MySpace account.

Concert tickets, clothes, iPods, pre-paid pone credit, music - all the things that teens would typically have to ask Mum and Dad to buy for them, they will now have the flexibility to buy themselves online.

It’s great that ANZ have identified this opportunity, but perhaps it would be wise to extend the offer to Facebook account holders - not just MySpace.

With two thirds of all teens using some form of social networking site, the sky’s the limit.

When you think about this new generation of shoppers, and the existing online market - do you really have a reason not to take your business online?

Will we catch the dreaded september blues this month?

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 12:55:00 +0000

The september blues is gonna get ya !! Exactly one year ago, worries about the economy were giving way to cautious optimism.

Then came September, and Bam.
The failure of Lehman Brothers was the catalyst, turning a recession into a crisis. The credit markets froze, and stock prices went into a frightening free fall.
A year later, Washington Mutual languishes in bankruptcy, and the stock market once again has bounced back from a hole

So is September month bad for stocks ?

In stock market lore, September holds the worst reputation of any month by far.
Go back 20 years, 50 years or even a century, and the ninth month is consistently the weakest. Over the past 100 years, September stock prices have declined by an average of nearly one percentage point, according to an analysis by the Bespoke Investment Group. All the other months have tallied gains, except February, which is down only slightly over that same historical period.

Well irrespective of months and their shortfalls and downfalls the Australian stock market is doing pretty well and so is our dollar. they say when the US market coughs the rest of the stock market sneezes or something like that , but Australia is surely starting a pattern of its own breaking away from the us trajectory.

Todays Stock Update That rocked up our september

The share market is just a heartbeat away from 4500 but at the same time gold is edging closer to $1000 an ounce

The market is up 23. The SFE Futures were up 38 this morning. Solid start to the week.

The Dow closed up 97. Dow up 101 at best and down 23 at worst. Gold price fell $1 after two consecutive days of heavy gains, Oil price jumped 3.3% and the Aussie dollar was at 85.21c vs 83.97c Friday morning.

In Iron Ore Port News

Junior iron ore miners, Atlas Iron (AGO), Brockman Resources (BRM), BC Iron (BCI) and FerrAus (FRS), have appointed an engineering company to undertake a pre-feasibility study into a 50m metric ton export port in Port Hedland. The cost and availability of ship-loading facilities has always been a major issue for smaller iron ore players.

The alliance has the potential to deliver 50m tons of iron ore by 2013, delivering $200m in new royalties for the state. The alliance is also not limiting its numbers to four, it has been approached by other companies which are currently in discussions.

Electronic retailer Harvey Norman takes a shine to Top brokers

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:37:00 +0000

Harvey Norman shares

rose 5.35 percent to A$3.94 at the 4:10 p.m. market close in Sydney, their highest level since May 2008. The stock, which has gained 49 percent this year, rose the most in 20 years on Friday after posting earnings that beat analyst estimates.

Broker ratings on Harvey Norman

The stock was also raised to the equivalent of “buy” at JPMorgan Chase & Co., Deutsche Bank AG and UBS AG. Analysts at Citigroup Inc. raised their rating to “hold” from “sell.”

The government has distributed more than A$12 billion ($10 billion) in cash to households since December while grants to home owners and borrowing costs at a half-century low are increasing home-building approvals at the fastest pace in four years.

Gerry Harvey says

HARVEY Norman shares surged yesterday to their highest level in a year after executive chairman Gerry Harvey triggered a wave of retail confidence with his claim the economy "is growing stronger and stronger each day".

Profit from Australian franchises, where the company gets three-quarters of revenue, has risen as government cash handouts stoked demand for flat-panel televisions and notebook computers and helped the nation avoid a recession. Chairman Gerry Harvey said a pick-up in sales that started in April has extended into the first two months of this fiscal year.

Mr Harvey said July and August sales had improved. More customers were buying electrical goods, bedding and furniture, an indication that the government's first-home owners stimulus packages had encouraged more people to purchase homewares, he said.

The company will pay a fully franked final dividend of 6c a share, taking its full-year dividend to 11c and Mr Harvey will pocket $34m in dividends for the year. Harvey Norman has 264 retail outlets across Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Europe trading under the Harvey Norman, Domayne, Joyce Mayne and Norman Ross brands.

The taking down of Australian stock exchange

noreply@blogger.com (Stockman) — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 22:56:00 +0000

Yes yesterday i went to the cinema’s to watch “ the taking down of Pelham 123” It was absolutely fantastic. The taking down of pelham 123 is a absorbing , hard hitting and Action packed movie that does your dollars spent full justice and you also get a power packed performance from the 2 greats John Travolta and Denzel Washington.

The taking down by a wall street broker terrorist

The reason why i am blogging about this here ? yes it does have something to with the stock market !! The whole story is based on how the train is hijacked only to make money from the stock market on its dip and not from the paltry ransom money of $10 million dollars.

Soon as John Travolta checked on his computer the stock market charts soon after hijacking the train, i knew there was a connection to the hijacking and the stock market crash . The last scene does reveal this when he looks at this portfolio in gold sky rocketed and gives a nice hearty laugh. The taking of pelham 123 has released in Australian cinemas.

Synopsis:

A Wall Street terrorist? Not the kind that bankrupts the system with greed and fancy transactions that cost taxpayers thousands of dollars. The kind that takes a gun, kills passengers, and steals a subway car in an attempt to manipulate the stock market for profit. When’s the movie about the CEO assassin come out next?

This movie is a contemporary interpretation of John Godey's book and is also a remake of the previously made movie taking of pelham 123.

Now you can check on Google search by just typing in the movie name and in subsequent page jut type your postcode in location and you will get a listing of the theatres nearby that play that movie or other movies as well. Go here for eg -- > The taking pelham 123
