...People want Treasuries when they want nothing else.

...Who knows the what value is when the Fed fixes the Determining Interest Rate ZERO.

Hoosier's note: When Interest Rates IS Zero, the value of an asset is INFINITY!!!

I have tried to explain this in the past, let me try to do it one more time.

100 / 1 = 100
100 / 0.1 = 1,000
100 / 0.01 = 10,000
100 / 0.001 = 100,000
100 / 0.0001 = 1,000,000
100 / 0.00001 = 10,000,000
100 / 0.000001 = 100,000,000
100 / 0.0000001 = 1,000,000,000

Wilmar #25

Wilmar Daily chart updated till January 28, 2014.

Today, January 28, 2014, Wilmar fell further to close at S$3.11 with a volume of about 9 million shares.

Clearly, the Consolidation Zone that I had identified earlier (at around S$3.20) could not prevent Wilmar from falling further.

The last line of defense is S$3.02, the "most recent low" done on August 22, 2013.

I strongly believe that 4Q2013 results will be great and that should create an excitement for Wilmar and push its share price higher.

I must admit that I cannot understand why Wilmar had fallen so much except to say that the 50-day moving average (in blue) has cut below the 100-day moving average (in grey) and that 200-day moving average (in red) is now at the top...a bearish technical picture.

I can't emphasize enough the importance of Good Money Management. I am now underwater but, as I did not borrow money to buy shares, I will just hold on to it and collect dividends.

Hoosier's note: You don't have to go through all the details described in the article. Just note that the risk of a default by CEQ1 (China Credit Trust's Credit Equals Gold #1) is very real.

And, I believe January 31, 2014, is the Chinese New Year...a lot of people are going to have a very sad holiday.

I visited the Sears Tower, and went up the the Observation Deck, when a few friends and I drove from Bloomington, Indiana, to Chicago, Illinois...to eat Youtiao, Wonton Noodles, and Pork Congee...not at the Sears Tower but at the China Town nearby, of course. :D
