纽约黄金期货收盘上涨0.1%报1771.70美元

新浪财经讯 北京时间9月20日凌晨消息,纽约黄金(1772.80,1.60,0.09%)期货价格周三收盘上涨,但从即日高点回落,原因是日本央行出人意料地宣布提高其资产购买计划的规模,这项经济刺激性计划在一段时间里对美元汇率形成了支撑。
  当日,纽约商业交易所(NYMEX)下属商品交易所(COMEX)12月份交割的黄金期货价格上涨50美分,报收于每盎司1771.70美元, 涨幅为0.1%,收盘前不久曾转为小幅下跌。投资公司Telvent DTN的高级分析师达林-纽瑟姆(Darin Newsom)称,在最近触及多个月高点以后,看起来“12月份黄金期货合约正开始失去上行动量”。他指出:“市场正开始感到有些头重脚轻;如果市场压力 在下周有所增大,那么我不会感到惊讶。”
  日本央行周三称,该行将把资产购买计划的规模提高10万亿日元(约合1267亿美元),至80万亿日元(约合1万亿美元),此举是该行对日本国内经济增长速度放缓而作出的回应。在此以前,美联储也在上周四宣布推迟第三轮的“定量宽松”计划。
  所谓“定量宽松”(Quantitative Easing,QE),是由日本最早提出的一个概念,是在经济萎靡不振、银行信贷急剧萎缩的背景下,日本央行对从2001年3月开始的零利率(银行间隔夜 贷款利率)政策的进一步深化,主要是指中央银行在实行零利率或近似零利率政策后,通 过购买国债等中长期债券,增加基础货币供给,向市场注入大量流动性资金的干预方式,以鼓励开支和借贷,也被简化地形容为间接增印钞票。
  其他金属期货中,12月份交割的期银价格收盘下跌13美分,报收于每盎司34.59美元,跌幅为0.4%。(金良/编译)

美国有可能回归金本位吗

在经济学家和分析师们看来几乎不可思议的事情,居然发生了。那就是美国传统政治势力现在正式讨论金本位制度回归。

   据FT报道,将于下周在佛罗里达州坦帕湾提交共和党全国大会审议的该党纲领草案呼吁,对美联储的货币政策进行审计,并成立一个研究恢复金本位的委员会。此 举显示实行了5年的宽松货币政策,加上国会议员罗恩·保罗的努力,已使回归金本位这个一度另类构想成为共和党辩论一部分。推动美元回归金本位的保守派团体 美国准则项目主席肖恩·菲耶乐说:“在共和党内部和普通美国民众间,越来越多人意识到,我们不可能靠印钞票来实现繁荣。”

   这预示美国社会对于财政赤字无限制膨胀,以及美联储零利率、量化宽松政策开始隐隐不安。事实上,美国社会对通缩的恐惧程度,远大于通胀,这源于上个世纪三十年代的大萧条痛苦回忆。所以一有机会,美联储就搞量化宽松政策以刺激经济,防止1930年代的大萧条重现。

    近十年来美联储持续宽松政策,是全球流动性泛滥的根源。但美国社会对此并不在意,原因在于美联储释放出来的流动性,被包括中国在内的新兴经济体所吸收,导 致美国本土的通胀率一直很低,这给美国政府赤字财政不断膨胀的空间。全球投资者对美国国债的饕餮胃口,一直抑制着美国长期国债收益率,等于变相补贴美国赤 字财政政策。这也是美国社会长期以来对美联储宽松政策非常满意的原因。

   但现在不同了。因为2008年至今,美国政府与美联储联手救市政策,其实并没有根本摆脱危机,只不过将华尔街与美国家庭的债务转移到政府。美国政府债务近 两年来急剧膨胀,债券之王比尔·格罗斯认为,目前包括社保、医保在内美国政府各类债务总和占GDP比例超过700%,比希腊还夸张!而奥巴马的医保政策其 实并没有从根本上解决美国医疗开支急剧膨胀的问题,反而只会加重。这也是美国共和党势力对此极为反感和忧虑的原因。因为财政赤字持续膨胀到最后,如果全球 恶性通胀卷土重来,美国国债收益率暴涨,到时政府不想彻底破产,唯一政策只能是加税。而加税会遭遇所有人反对,那么通胀是最好的选择,这是政府隐形税收。 而在金本位形势下,美联储实际上是没有利率操作空间的,这等于完全束缚住政府隐形征税之手。美国共和党此时重提金本位,就是在赤字财政膨胀到极限之前,先 行一步打消政府增税之可能性。

   但在目前情势下,金本位制度落实几乎不可能。因为通胀不构成威胁,共和党金本位的倡议,应者注定寥寥。但一旦恶性通胀卷土重来,那么金本位就会成为美国社会的正式选择了。

   虽然下一轮全球性恶性通胀不知何时来临,但民主体制下的政府印钞刺激经济搞福利社会的作风,是刹不住的。因此全球性恶性通胀估计是迟早的事情,下一次恶性通胀来临之后,欧美政坛很难出现沃尔克与里根这样的组合,金本位回归也许是大概率事件。(来源:财经网)

Why borrow as much as possible?-Milan Doshi

Posted Date: May 14, 2010

Effect of Inflation on Bank Loans
Borrowing money from banks at zero interest rate? Milan Doshi shows you how
If you were to ask any person from our parents’ generation, the common advice they would give is:
  1. Don’t borrow any money
and
  1. If you really need to borrow, borrow as little as possible and return it back as soon as possible
Their reasoning is that having a peaceful sleep at night is extremely important. If you were to owe anyone any money, there is this deep-rooted fear that someone might knock on your front door in the middle of the night demanding that they be repaid on the spot.

I am not too sure but perhaps it could partially be due to movies. In many movies, there are scenes where the greedy landlord and his henchmen come knocking on the poor farmer’s door demanding that they be repaid on the spot. When the poor farmer is unable to do so, the landlord then forcefully takes over what few possessions the farmer has and kicks the poor farmer and his family out of the house.

There is no way we can fully appreciate what our parents might have gone through in their generation which shaped their beliefs. Many of them would have lived through the Second World War, the OPEC oil crisis, racial riots, etc. In those days, being able to have 3 decent meals a day was a luxury, something that we today take for granted.


Leveraging on bank borrowings
As a result of this misplaced fear, many of our parents have completely missed out on the power of leverage by using bank borrowings for property investments. In fact, I recall the day my father bought a double-storey house in Singapore in 1973 for S$120,000 which was a big sum in those days. He had taken a 25-year loan and one of his life’s goal was to look forward to the day the property loan is fully settled and the house finally becomes his. The loan was finally settled in 1998 and my father sold off the house for around S$1 million a few years later and moved into a condominium as both my parents had trouble climbing stairs.

Another reason why their generation didn’t like to take up big bank loans for property purchases is that the amount that has to be repaid back over long periods is close to double the original loan amount. They prefer to work hard, save money for a few years and then take a small loan to save on bank interest costs. Unfortunately, their well-meaning advice given while we are growing up makes many people afraid to take on big loans. Hopefully, this article changes your perspective on this issue.


Are bank loans making you poorer? 
Let’s take the example of a loan for RM1 million at a fixed interest rate of 5% per annum for 25 years. The yearly installment works out to RM70,952 per year or RM5,913 per month. Multiply by 25 years and the amount works out to a staggering RM1,773,800! Imagine borrowing RM1 million but having to pay RM1.773 million back i.e. the principal amount of RM1 million plus interest costs of RM773,800. As a result, many people would rather avoid borrowing money and hence miss out on property investments. Their logic would be “Why take unnecessary risks to make the banks richer and yourself poorer”?

Unfortunately, these people are looking at things from the wrong angle. They don’t realize that the money returned back while in absolute terms is totalling RM1.773 million, its value after taking inflation into account is completely different. You are not paying RM1.773 million today, but RM70,952 per year spread over the next 25 years. The purchasing power of RM70,952 today and its value 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 years is vastly different.

For readers who are not mathematically-inclined, let me first explain the effects of inflation in an easy manner. Let’s assume RM1,000 today can buy you 1,000 lollipops. If inflation is running at 4% per annum, the value of
                                                    1,000 lollipops
RM1,000 one year from now  = -----------------------
                                                      1 + Inflation Rate
                                                  1,000 lollipops
                                              = ------------------------
                                                      1 + 4% (or 1.04)
                                              = 961.5 lollipops

Hence RM1,000 one year from now can only purchase 961.5 lollipops. Therefore, the value of RM1,000 one year later is the equivalent of RM961.5 in today’s value if inflation is 4% per annum.
                                                       Value of RM1,000 one year from now
RM1,000 two years from now  = -----------------------------------------------
                                                                      1 + Inflation Rate
                                                         961.5 lollipops
                                                = -------------------------
                                                        1 + 4% (or 1.04)
                                                                    1,000 lollipops
                                              or   ------------------------------------
                                                        (1 + Inflation Rate)2  or 1.042
                                              = 924.5 lollipops

Therefore, RM1,000 two years later is only worth RM924.5 in today’s ringgit.
The formula to compute the Present Value of Future Dollars is:
                                                                                    Future Amount
Present Value of Amount nth years from now =  ----------------------------
                                                                                (1 + Inflation Rate)n
Let’s compute the Future Value of RM70,952 per year over the next 25 years assuming the inflation is 4% per annum:
Year                Amount (RM) in Present Value
   1                     70,952 / (1 + 4%)1 = 68,223
   2                     70,952 / (1 + 4%)2 = 65,600
   3                     70,952 / (1 + 4%)3 = 63,077

Calculate until Year 25 and add up all the various Present Values gives the answer of RM1,108,425. What this means is that while we will be paying in absolute terms a total of RM1.773 million, the actual value after inflation at 4% per annum is only RM1.108 million.

Suddenly borrowing money doesn’t look so scary.

In fact, it will start to make even more sense. Study the table below for the Present Value of a loan of RM1 million for 25 years at interest rates of 4% and 5% for various inflation rates:


Notice that if your bank interest rate is 4% (or 5%) and your inflation rate is 4% (or 5%), the Present Value of the Total Installment paid over 25 years will be equal to your bank loan of RM1 million. The bank interest cost and inflation cancels each other out. It’s equivalent to borrowing money at zero interest rate!


Inflation cancels out bank interest cost
If your personal inflation rate is above the bank interest rate, you actually end up paying less back. For example, if the bank interest rate is 4% (which is the current rate of BLR – 1.8% for residential properties) and your inflation is 5%, you actually end up paying back RM902,181 for a loan of RM1 million. Unbelievable, but it’s true.

Malaysia’s official inflation rate is around 3% per annum. Unfortunately this is not what most of us experience on an annual basis especially in recent years. Most families’ inflation rate will hover between 5% – 10% per annum depending on the parents’ (around 4-6% pa) and their children’s (around 6-10% pa) lifestyles. The inflation rate for children is usually higher than their parents due to their different consumption pattern and spending habits. This higher inflation rate actually works in your favor as the bank interest cost is only 4% per annum (i.e. BLR – 1.8%), far below your family’s average inflation rate.

In property investments, inflation not only works by pushing up asset values. It also reduces your borrowing costs when inflation is taken into account! This is another powerful reason why you must invest in good investment properties and borrow as much as possible provided the yields are higher than your borrowing costs. Then sit back, relax and let inflation work its magic on both sides of your Net Worth.

产业股投资法

  •  
1 of 3
附表是根据7月22日的闭市价,以去年的盈利和股息,计算出股价/资产比、本益比及周息率,作为投资参考。
我们只选有盈利及有派发股息的公司,若盈利和股息两者之中,缺一即不入选。
附表阅读方法:
1.股价/资产比:
是股票市价和每股净有形资产的比值,是从资产的角度衡量股价是否合理,如果是在1以下的话,表示价值被低估,值得投资。
例如ASAS去年12月31日时的每股净有形资产价值为1.93令吉以1.08令吉的股价计算,股价/资产比为1.08令吉÷1.93令吉=0.56,表示你以0.56令吉买进价值1令吉的资产,等于是半价买进地产,价值显然是被低估了。
地价大幅升值
然后你再翻开ASAS 2010年的年报第88页,该公司在去年12月31日时所拥有1446英亩地皮,大部份是在1994至2000年之间陆续买进的,多数坐落在北海、大山脚、高渊、爪夷、双溪巴甲和新邦安拔一带。
这十多年来,这些地皮的价值已大增,如果以市价重估该公司的地皮的话,每股净有形资产价值必比1.93令吉高出一截,可见此股价值被低估的一斑。
2.本益比:
ASAS去年每股净利为4.76仙,以1.08令吉的股价计算,本益比为1.08令吉÷0.976令吉=11.1倍。
该公司今年首季每股净赚3.41仙,如果接下来的3季能保持此赚率的话,则全年净利将增至13.64仙(3.41仙x4 =13.64仙),以1.08令吉的股价计算,本益比将降至7.9倍。
释放潜在价值
该公司主席在年报中说:政府将建筑一条24公里的新路,从峇都茅通往峇都加湾,这条路将切过该公司的部份土地,因此该公司的地皮将进一步增值,而且将提高赚率,盈利可望进一步提高,将这些因素考虑在内,则1.08令吉的股价属偏低。
3.周息率:
ASAS派发5仙股息,以1.08令吉的股价计算,毛股息率为0.05令吉÷1.08令吉=4.6%,尚属合理。
投资者可以模仿上述办法,分析附表中的产业股,深入挖掘潜在价值,从中选出几只最好及最适合你投资的股只,买进后长期持有,应该可以赚钱。
考虑相关因素
以上是以资产、本益比和周息率的角度评估股票价值,在买进之前,最好还要做更多的功课:
1.有关公司的地库有多少?何时买进?可以供发展多少年?
2.地皮的地点何在?该区有屋子的需求吗?
3.公司的负债情况。
4.已卖出屋子,但未收到款有多少?(Unbill Sale)。
5.公司5年来的业绩如何?
6.管理层是否积极发展业务?
只有在考虑了所有的因素,才决定是否值得买进。这就是我所谓的“严格筛选”后才投资。
附表是从90多家产业上市公司中选出44家,全部资料取自年报。
最佳选择长期投资
此表中之股票只供参考,并非推荐购买,大家可以从这44家中,进一步研究后,从中选出你认为最好的买进,作为长期投资。
必须指出的是附表没有包括两家新上市公司IVORY(玮力)和UOA发展,这是两家好公司,但由于新上市,未派股息,故不入选。
大家要贴身跟踪上市公司的进展,以作出更新的评估,例如Ivory最近标得槟城的102.7英亩地点极佳的地皮,阿马证券(Am Research)7月26日的研究报告中,说该公司这段新地皮,发展价值可能高达100亿令吉,该公司每股重估后的资产价值高达4令吉,去年每股净赚 22.25仙,今年将增至26.1仙,已卖出但未收款的销售额(Unbill Sale)3亿2000万令吉,因此该报告认为Ivory的公平价格为2令吉40仙。
另一个例子是成隆机构(DIJAYA CORP)一改过去“以守为攻”的政策,采取“以攻为守”的新策略,积极收购地皮,大力发展业务,前景看好。
公司若有新的发展,就应加以重新评估,以免失之交臂。

越南計劃告吹‧雲頂大馬專注歐美市場

雲頂大馬(GENM,4715,主板貿服組)突然宣佈終止探討越南娛樂度假村計劃,放棄這項總值約125億令吉的重大投資項目,惟分析員不僅不感可惜,還認為消息利多於弊,不僅得以規避越南博彩娛樂執照風險,更能專注發展以西方國家為主的國際市場,財測維持不變。

豐隆研究認為這項發展符合預期,主要相信雲頂大馬未來將以探索西方國家發展機會為主,該公司在美國紐約建議的7家賭場計劃目前在等待第二輪批准,邁亞米娛樂城計劃亦未獲法律放行,這兩項發展計劃料是雲頂大馬未來焦點所在。

另外,由於雲頂大馬強調目前沒有在當地尋求其他投資機會,因此預計該公司短期內不會再宣佈其他進軍越南消息。

雲頂大馬是在2010年12月21日公佈,與越南基金經理Vina Capital探討共同探討上述價值40億美元(約125億令吉)的越南休閒、酒店和娛樂領域計劃。

不過,市場分析員當時普遍對這項消息存有顧慮,主要因越南賭場執照只開放給外國人,與Vina Capital合作的雲頂大馬能否攫獲賭場執照還是未知數,而且當地政府大舉開放賭業做法勢必加劇領域競爭,令投資風險高漲。

豐隆也說,雲頂大馬截至2012上半年,內部現金報16億5千萬令吉,若未來發現其他投資機會,融資料不成問題。

“由於進軍越南計劃並未真正落實,因此尚未納入財測計算,終止有關計劃並不會對現有財測造成影響,維持財測不變,2012年淨利料報16億7千萬令吉,2013年和2014年淨利則預計報17億9千400萬和19億2千200萬令吉。"

雲頂大馬具備的有利條件是抗跌、業務壟斷性質和國際市場盈利有望驅動未來盈利成長;負面因素則是博彩市場受高度法律管制,及盈利表現很大程度得依賴運氣因素而定。

維持目標價4令吉10仙,給予“買進"評級

股海探温:云顶母子前景如何?

问:
主持人,你好。我想请教一些关于云顶和旗下子公司,以及博彩领域相关的问题。
1)最近发现云顶(Genting,3182,主板贸服股)和旗下公司———云顶马来西亚(GenM,4715,主板贸服股),和在新加坡上市的云顶新加坡(GentingSingapore),股价走势均不理想,为何会这样?
2)业绩不理想和新加坡政府可能缩紧赌场条例,拖累云顶新加坡的股价走势,这是否意味着新加坡赌场业务将面临更严峻的挑战?云顶新加坡的前景是否还算乐观?
3)在这样的一个背景下,这数只云顶股项目前的股价是否适合趁低吸纳?或是还可能继续往下走?
4)博彩领域的前景如何?随着台湾已基本同意设立赌场后,以及多个亚洲国家正酝酿着开放赌场,这是否意味着这将威胁到大马和新加坡的赌场市场?
5)在这个全球经济前景继续面临挑战的情况下,博彩业是否还具备抗跌力?
读者李文

答:
1)云顶属于蓝筹股,而蓝筹股的股价走势与市场情况息息相关,近期市场不稳定致使其股价走势不理想。
至于云顶马来西亚,大部分顾客来自大众市场,本地顾客居多,因此,运气因素将影响该股的股价表现。

狮城赚幅逾50%
云顶新加坡的主要顾客为贵宾级豪客,受外围经济情况仍不明朗的影响,股价也因而受到牵连,致使股价近期大跌。
2)对于新加坡人民进入赌场的管制,当地政府一向来都严厉执行,以避免社会问题。
若新加坡政府缩紧赌场条例,预计将不会对云顶新加坡的业绩构成太大影响,因为云顶新加坡的大部分顾客为贵宾级豪客以及游客。
目前,云顶新加坡的盈利赚幅逾50%,其业务增长已呈饱和状态。
但我们仍乐观看待云顶新加坡的前景,并相信它的业绩将保持目前的增长水平。
3)与其他赌场业者大不相同,云顶凭借着实力安稳度过2008年的信贷危机。
有鉴于此,我相信,这几只股的股价不会继续往下走,投资者或可趁低吸纳,待低价位就可买进。
4)随着多个亚洲国家正酝酿开放赌场,我相信,主要顾客为贵宾级豪客和游客的新加坡赌场,当地的博彩领域料将受到冲击。
由于大马赌场的顾客多为大众市场,相对来看,大马赌场所受到的冲击估计会较小。
以目前的市场走势来看,博彩业是一门本小利大的生意。
举个例子,澳门政府在2007年开放赌场的特许经营权,发放了3张赌场特许经营权,澳门赌场仅仅花了8个月就收支平衡。

博彩前景看涨
由此可见,博彩业务的前景仍然看涨,我依然看好博彩领域的发展前景。
5)尽管全球经济前景持续面临挑战,但人们会抱着搏一搏的心态,到赌场试一试运气。
因此,我认为,不论经济好与否,博彩领域都具备抗跌力。

雲頂次季受種植業務拖累‧雲頂大馬動力強勁

雲頂(GENTING,3182,主板貿服組)次季淨利挫約21%至5億3千455萬令吉,主要受種植業與新加坡業務拖累,投資者一是耐心等待新加坡與種植業務“華麗大轉身",準備大唱豐收;要不就轉戰前景無限亮麗的雲頂大馬(GENM,4715,主板貿服組)。

聯昌研究說,雲頂新加坡業務失利攸關宏觀經濟,可很快“華麗轉身",若與雲頂大馬“同跳探戈"而華麗大轉身,動力將非常強大,因兩大業務佔雲頂集團
營運盈利80%。

“儘管兩大業務失利,次季核心盈利按年只挫6%,雲頂大馬業務繼續俏麗抵銷頹勢,其全球多元化業務是討喜理由之一。"

次季業務主要由雲頂大馬支撐,其大馬、美國、英國賭業皆有成長,大可抵銷獅城業務挫11%頹勢;大馬賭業因豪客賭業雙位數成長,營運盈利增長8%,倫敦賭場由前期虧損800萬令吉轉盈至1億3千萬令吉,紐約賭場業務次季收6千500萬令吉。

雲頂財測下修

種植業務營運盈利挫約50%,鮮果串跌25%、原棕油價跌5%、成本價漲40%,產業營運盈利增長3倍、電力增長15%,油氣續虧。

興業研究與馬銀行研究建議投資者採取防禦之勢,轉戰雲頂大馬,以更安穩攫取盈利。興業還調低雲頂今、明、後財政年財測3.1至3.5%(未把25億令吉脫售雲頂杉源電廠計入),反調高雲頂大馬同期財測9.7%至11.3%,評級由反映大市調高至“超越大市"。

興業說,雲頂新加坡業務面臨政府條規變迭而遇逆風,馬銀行則指新加坡海事生態園新聘1千300名新職員,料未來二三季賺益受蝕,皆建議轉戰宜守宜攻、具成長潛能的雲頂大馬。

儘管聯昌指倫敦業務風光難續,僑豐與馬銀行建議趁低累積雲頂大馬。

房地产泡沫的后果,有图有真相

送大家一幅图,想看马来西亚未来房地产会怎样吗?看看这图就可以大概知道了。
什么叫房地产价值,这就是房地产价值。现在买进的人会有几惨。期望神保佑他们吧。


注:香港是出名地少人多的地方,人口集中。

真糟糕,之前我再找2013年房地产爆炸的资料,越找越糟糕,现在需要找不会爆炸的原因,而不是再找会爆炸的原因了。

因为没有任何因素会让房地产不爆炸,而是肯定会爆炸。而且影响的深远比我预估还要严重和长远。最少5年的低迷跑不掉了。之前还认为会2015见底,现在恐怕2017年都未必会见底。。。。。。
