It's all green at Wall Street as the market closes this morning. The Dow closes at 10,058.64 up 150.25. S & P is up 13.78 at 1,070.52 and gold is now 1,076.70 per ounce, up 11 dollars.
Debt problems in Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain (PIIGS) will probably be solved. The White Knight is the European Union. It has come to the rescue.
So, perhaps we are going to have a Chinese New Year rally as we come closer to THE TIGER. Let's pray and hope for the best.

Market poised to drop further
The Dow lost 103.84 points and broke the 10,000 psychology level early this morning on concern of debt problems in Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain (PIGS). Other concerns are the unemployment rate rise in the US and Obama's move to restrict the activities of big banks in America. Of concern also is that China may suddenly cool down. The Dow closed at 9,908.39. This means that it has dropped 817 points or 7.6% since Jan 19, 2010.
Today, here in Malaysia, we are likely to have another down day. Be prepared for another beating!

Bear Trap or Bull Trap
What's the difference between a Bear Trap and a Bull Trap?
A Bear Trap is a false signal that a rising trend of a stock or index has changed when actually it has not. Those who short will lose money when the market resumes its uptrend.
A Bull Trap is a false signal that a downtrend in a stock or index has reversed when actually it has not. Those who buy lose money when the downtrend continues.
Simply put, a BearTrap is a trap to trap the bears, whereas a Bull Trap is a trap to trap the bulls. So you see, whether you are a bull or a bear, you can be trapped.

Knights
In the corporate world, we have many kinds of knights.
White Knight, Black Knight, Gray Knight and Yellow Knight
Do you know what they are?
A White Knight is a company that makes a friendly offer to a target company that faces a hostile bid. It is best remembered by the phrase: A White Knight to the rescue!
A Black Knight is the opposite of a White Knight. It is a company that makes a hostile bid to takeover a target company. A Black Knight is usually thought of as someone having unpleasant personalities and is normally associated with kidnapping nubile girls, burning villages and slaying peasants.
A Gray Knight or Grey Knight is best thought of as a waiting vulture waiting to scoop up any leftovers. It is actually an unsolicited second bidder in a corporate takeover.
A Yellow Knight is a company that attempts a hostile bid to a takeover but chickens out at the eleven hour and ends up with a friendly merger discussion instead.
