MQ Research: AirAsia’s air traffic beats estimates

AirAsia reported its operating numbers for the second quarter of 2016, reflecting the performance of its Malaysian, Thai, Indonesian, Indian, and Philippine entities. In terms of air traffic, AirAsia unveiled a better-than-expected performance, beating Macquarie Equities Research’s (MQ Research) estimates by 7.8%, which translated to a better than expected load factor. In its report, MQ Research reiterated an ‘Outperform’ rating on AirAsia, with a 12-month target price of RM3.50.
Event
  • AirAsia (AIRA MK) released a good set of 2Q16 operating statistics on late Tuesday.
  • In terms of air traffic (RPK), its Malaysian entity, the major contributor to MQ Research’s sum-of-parts target price, is tracking 8% ahead of MQ Research’s estimates and its India entity is tracking marginally above expectations (4%), while its Thai and Indonesia entities are tracking in line with MQ Research’s estimates. However, its Philippine entity is tracking marginally below MQ Research’s estimates due to an unexpected capacity reduction.

Impact
  • Load factor improvements across its five entities in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and India.
  • Malaysia AirAsia improved load factors by 6.7% to 87% and delivered a 10% passenger growth in an industry that had zero growth in 2Q16.  Traffic beat MQ Research’s expectations by 7.8% and capacity was in line with MQ Research’s expectations, leading to the positive surprise in load factors
  • Thai AirAsia delivered double-digit passenger growth in 2Q16, carrying 18% more passengers in 2Q16. Its three-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at 20%, a commendable performance, in MQ Research’s view. Capacity and traffic figures for Thai AirAsia were in line with MQ Research’s expectations.
  • Indonesia AirAsia, in line with its restructuring plans, carried 2% more passengers. Load factors were 83%, an increase from 73% in 2Q15. Capacity and traffic figures for Indonesia AirAsia were in line with MQ Research’s expectations.
  • Philippines AirAsia surprisingly reduced 7% year-on-year (YoY) capacity in 2Q16, thus leading to traffic figures marginally below MQ Research’s expectations. Load factor received a boost, at 91% for 2Q16 vs MQ Research’s expectations of 85%.

Action and recommendation
  • Reiterate Outperform with a target price of RM3.50 (+25.8% TSR).

在过去十年里,乐高 (LEGO) 都做了什么使得净利润增长 32 倍,每年营收也长时间保持两位数增长?

FROM: https://www.zhihu.com/question/28383329


看到 2005 年财报的 net profit 是 2.14 亿丹麦克朗,而 2014 年这个数字是 70 亿克朗。
现在乐高在玩具市场上也把芭比娃娃和孩之宝甩在了身后1、重整产品线,留下真正赚钱的产业,砍掉头脑发热的产物,恢复创新的正常节奏从产品到周边产业都一样。在70到90年代有过创意井喷期,啥都能上市,丢弃拼砌的传统优势,天马行空,不少产品还蛮奇葩。不信看下图,芭比系列,你信这是乐高么?

婴儿玩具PRIMO、塑料玩具ZNAP、针对于女孩的类似于芭比娃娃的SCALA系列、网络大师机器人套装、防卫者系列、试图取代传统乐高人仔的杰克斯通系列,这些耗费成本且销量不佳的产品后来全部停售。
除了产品以外,乐高鼎盛时期对周边产业的扩展也有点丧失理智,除了乐高主题公园一直运营到现在,其他很多3D乐高数据库、拼砌指令这些周边的东东也都砍掉了,不是说这些项目毫无成就,只是节奏太激进。停止了揠苗助长之后,乐高的颓势已经有所好转。而在之后,乐高扩展周边产业的步子慢了很多也谨慎了很多。

2、削减成本,从制造到人力
在产品方面,在疯狂扩张期,乐高积木有将近1.29万个零件,在发生危机之后减少到7000个。塑料开模是不小的成本,数量少了,但是其实更能发挥想象力。在人力方面,一个比隆工厂就砍掉了1000+号员工。乐高掌权者的变更、管理层换血、股权变化这些就更复杂一些,暂且不谈(其实是因为这个我也不太懂哈哈哈哈)。

3、2013年的乐高大电影
上面也有人提到了乐高大电影,确实牛逼啊,这动画电影不光是拍给熊孩子看的!能把品牌嵌入电影还不惹人讨厌,也就乐高能干得出来,这简直就是个巨大的品牌广告片!段子够逗逼,乐高人仔的渲染非常细腻,关键是结尾确实完美植入了品牌理念。一部电影,转化成了实实在在的巨额销量,攒新粉丝的效果惊人,14年上半年因为电影提振,销量直涨11%。乐高大电影还会有2,就是不知道大陆会不会引进。

4、教徒式的忠诚粉丝
这点太重要了,除了苹果之外,还没有哪个品牌能够像乐高那样拥有那么多的忠实粉丝。爸妈玩,带着孩子玩,一代接一代,乐高情况最不好的时候,全球粉丝有过各种自发的支持活动。乐高自己也知道粉丝、粉丝的体验对自己有多重要,一直坚守玩具的品质,这几年开了ideas平台,投票过万的粉丝作品经过评审就可以投产发售,对粉丝是很好的鼓励和振兴。

5、其实还有挺多其他的,NXT机器人神马的,持续主推电影合作产品神马的,断断续续的零零散散的回头想到再补充,大致以上足够大家随便看看~

备注:以上资料很多来自《乐高:创新者的世界》一书和《透过乐高创新兴衰史看文化产业的未来》的论文,简略的提炼了一些主要观点,感兴趣的小伙伴可以看看!

亚航售AAC有利股价‧潜在股息或达96仙

(吉隆坡25日讯)大马航空业今年第四季的竞争将加剧,但亚洲航空(AIRASIA,5099,主板贸服组)在脱售亚洲航空资本公司(AAC)股权潜在股息诱人的利惠下,股价仍有一定上涨空间。
根据马航新首席执行员的谈话和马印航空(Malindo)增加机队,显示竞争白热化。
大马机票价格战白热化
联昌研究指出,大马机票价格战越演越烈,而航空业的竞争主要是受到航班回酬强稳,航班增加所造成。
马航的去年第四季和今年第一季每公里营业额(RASK)分别成长7.8%和15%。马航每公里营业额上涨,归功于其前首席执行员穆勒削减了一些长程和短程航班。
马航新任首席执行员彼得贝鲁也表示,该公司必须解决其平均乘客率低于70%的问题。
该公司将会把15至20%的空置座位作为廉价机票,以重夺其失去的市占率。另外马航也会在第二国际机场(KLIA2)和亚庇国际机场推出前往中国的航班。
至于马印航空,该公司也会推出前往越南、泰国以及印尼航班,这些都会蚕食亚航在该地区的乘客人数。同时,该公司在今年也增加了8家737-800s飞机。
尽管大马航空业竞争加剧,但联昌并没有对于目前情况过于担心,并有信心亚航可以达到目标价。
这是因为AAC的出售将会为亚航带来重大刺激,加上该公司之前所定做的100架A321neos飞机,其中30架属于ACC所有拥有,这大大增加该公司的吸引力。若该公司成功出售ACC,其潜在股息高达96仙。
不过,联昌预测该公司2017年每股核心盈利会减少10%,这是因为该公司之前以每股1令吉80仙(比目前股价折价20%)私下配售予两位大股东5亿5900股新股的冲稀效应所致。
针对上述条件,联昌维持亚航“买进”评级不变,目标价为4令吉15仙。

Genting - Are you ready to place your bets?

Genting - Are you ready to place your bets?
Genting "GENT" (pronounced as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF4sUlYTPh0, definitely not pronounced using the Queen’s English otherwise will sound like you need to use the Gent.) is a household name mainly known for their leisure themeparks, casinos, cruise, plantation, and property.  To understand Genting, one would need to take a look at Genting Singapore (GENS), Genting Malaysia (GENM) and Genting Plantation (GENP).
You will find a lot of pictures and charts in this note. They say a picture tells a thousand words. Much easier to understand IMO.
For GENT the following 4 catalysts to drive the share price. Namely. 1) Turnaround in GENS, 2) The launch of Twenty Century Theme Park at Genting Highlands Malaysia, 3) TauRx, the potential blockbuster drug getting FDA approval. 4) GENP's leverage to CPO.
Catalyst 1. We expect GENS to turnaround. This following the recent 1Q results which saw GGR stabilizing as of 1Q16 while bad debt provision has stayed flat at 35%.


The share price of GENS has started to stabilized too.  Earnings expectations already all time low!

If tourist arrival start to improve,  the gaming and theme park of GENS will improve.

Catalyst 2. We move on to 52.9% owned GENM which operates the highland theme park.  This was what it look like in the good old days of 90s.

Come 2017, the theme park should be ready and look like this...

That’s right folks. Twenty Century Fox is opening a theme park in partneship with Genting Highlands. This is part of Genting Integrated Tourism Plan (GITP). For GITP, GENM is spending a total MYR8.1 bn and 2.3bn in capex for phase 1 and 2 respectively. In the past, the local theme park is big ROIC generator.


As someone who hasn’t been to the highland for ages, I can’t hide the excitement. Haha.
The theme park is expected to be ready by end 2017. Management however has hinted July 2017 to the investment community.  For the latest photos on their status, please refer to http://www.themeparx.com/20th-century-fox-world-malaysia/
20th Century Fox World Genting Theme Park Rides
• Rio
• Ice Age
• Titanic
• Life of Pi
• Planet of the Apes
• Alien vs. Predator
• Night at the Museum

As the theme park is being build as we speak, the financial numbers for GENM is of course not exciting. For 2016, GENM’s revenue will be driven by its UK business.  The recent Brexit should not affect much on its UK operation. DB estimated about c1% decline in  core profit for every 10% depeciation in the pound. UK assets comprises 19% of GENM of total assets in the form of casino property.


Similar to GENS, GENM’s earnings has already bottomed, how low can it go?


History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes,”  Mark Twain
The timeline on GENS from start construction to finish/opening of thempark and share price during the same period. I believe the same could happen for GENM.

Catalyst 3. TauRx may provide a blockbuster boost for Genting’s valuation. Its initial investment of MYR450m or USD150m could be worth RM15b if TauRx goes for IPO listing. This would add RM10.4b or 40% to the sum of parts of Genting.
TauRx, founded by Claude Wischik is involved in Alzeheimer research. Its biggest backers include Genting, Singapore Temasek and little known Dundee Corp.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-17/a-30-year-quest-for-an-alzheimer-s-remedy-nears-the-finish-line
When the Star and bloomberg news reported about this drug. The investors reaction was bullish and share price of Genting soared from MYR7.00 to MYR9.90 in 3 months.

To follow TauRx. https://twitter.com/hashtag/TauRx?src=hash
The excitement in TauRx is clearly reflected in the share price of Dundee Corp which has rallied some 58%  YTD. http://www.investing.com/equities/dundee-corp
The key date to watch will be around 27 July 2016 where the company will present results from its third phase of human trial on its experiemental Alzheimer’s drug known as LMTX.
Meanwhile, we can see insiders buying Genting.

AirAsia and Norwegian Air Could Create A Worldwide Low Cost Alliance

Two of the world’s most successful low cost carriers could soon be joining forces.
Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv has reported that AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes met with Norwegian Air CEO Bjorn Kjos at the Farnborough International Airshow. The two reportedly want to set up meetings to discuss the possibility of a joint venture.

Friendly competitors or allies? 
Kjos praised AirAsia as he stood next to Fernandes at the World Airline Awards. Speaking of both airlines’ awards for best long haul low cost carrier and best low cost carrier, Kjos said, “These are the world’s two best airlines. [The awards] show that the customers like our product. They’re the ones who voted for us.”
Fernandes, for his part, donned a Norwegian Air pin and told Kjos “If I get the opportunity to come to Oslo, we should sit down and talk. Why not?”

A worldwide low cost carrier alliance
Should such a joint venture come to pass, the two airlines would be able to cover most of the world. AirAsia has more than 200 routes in Asia and the Pacific regions. Norwegian flies extensively in Europe and has been dramatically expanding its international route offerings. The US market has been a major target for Norwegian, though it has met with resistance from American labor unions and regulators.
AirAsia’s low cost long haul wing, AirAsia X, does fly to Europe, but most of its routes are in Asia and Oceania. Sharing passengers with Norwegian would allow it to reach further into Europe and even into North America. Norwegian, likewise, has a limited number of routes to Asia (to Thailand, Hong Kong and India). So, on paper at least, this seems like a perfect match.

Or could they become rivals
AirAsia is looking to expand its route options in Europe through AirAsia X. Fernandes has already teased more flights to the UK. Potentially, he could also opt to open routes into Scandinavia and use Norwegian’s European services as feeders. Norwegian could want to expand in the other direction, using AirAsia as a feeder airline. If the two carriers cannot come to an agreement about which airline flies which route, they could just as easily become competitors instead of partners.

Following the trend
Such joint venture partnerships have become more common as airlines look to minimize the risks and costs of expansion. United Airlines recently partnered with Air New Zealand, for example, and American Airlines has joined forces with South American super-carrier LATAM on intercontinental routes.
In the current climate, a joint venture between Norwegian and AirAsia does not seem at all far fetched.

Making low cost carriers global
An alliance between Norwegian and AirAsia could signal a new era in the evolution of the low cost carrier phenomenon, which is still mainly focused on regional flights. Carriers like Norwegian and WOW have brought the same low fare model to transcontinental flying, but the trend is still in the very early stages of development. It will be some time before travelers will be able fly anywhere overseas on low cost carriers like they now can on full service airlines.
It is an attractive idea, however. With worldwide networks, low cost carriers could make international travel possible for many people who could not previously afford it (the same way that they have made flying more affordable on the domestic level).
For American fliers, a joint venture between AirAsia and Norwegian could eventually mean low cost flights to both Asia and Europe. As fuel costs start to rise again and airlines start murmuring about raising fares, that would be a very welcome development.
The only reason this is a story is because of the people involved. Both Kjos and Fernandes are shrewd businessmen who have showed a knack for developing the next trend before everyone else. If a long haul low cost revolution is to take place, both their airlines will certainly be a part of it.

AirAsia-Norwegian Air cooperation in the works

Tony Fernandes and Norwegian Air’s boss discuss possibility of sending passengers into each other’s network routes.
 
air-asia_Norwegian_6001
Oslo: More tourists from Scandinavian countries and Europe might be flying into Kuala Lumpur and Asia if a move by AirAsia to tie-up with Norwegian Air materialises.
AirAsia and Norwegian Air are exploring a possible joint venture, according to Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv (DN).
AirAsia founder Tony Fernandes met Norwegian Air founder and chief executive Bjorn Kjos for the first time at the Farnborough International Airshow, it said.
The newspaper said they discussed the possibility of sending their passengers into each other’s route networks in Europe and Asia.
Newsinenglish.no quoted DN as saying the cooperation could start in about a year and that it would create a new era in route offerings for Norwegian passengers in Asia.
The two airlines, it said, had a lot in common, growing at a rapid pace on the back of relatively cheap airline tickets and creating wide route networks in their respective markets.

AirAsia has more than 200 routes in Asia using mostly Airbus aircraft while Norwegian Air has an extensive route system within Scandinavia and Europe, and is keen on expanding its intercontinental routes as well.
DN reported that Fernandes pointed to a Norwegian Air button he was wearing on his lapel, asked Kjos for his phone number and said he wanted to fly to Oslo for a serious talk.
It quoted Fernandes as telling Kjos at the airshow: “We’ve never had the opportunity to meet each other before now. If I get the opportunity to come to Oslo, we should sit down and talk. Why not?”
The two airlines could soon be competing on intercontinental routes between Europe and Asia as Fernandes intends to re-launch a route between Kuala Lumpur and London.
He had also mentioned flying into one of the Scandinavian capitals as well, feeding passengers into Norwegian Air’s route system for onward travel. Kjos, the report said, didn’t reject the idea.
“We wish him welcome and like competition,” Kjos told DN, calling Fernandes “a great guy” who leads “a very good airline”.
At Farnborough, Norwegian Air won the Skytrax Award as Europe’s best airline for the fourth time, and as the best long-distance low fare airline for the second time. The Skytrax prizes are based on votes from passengers worldwide.
AirAsia, meanwhile, won four prizes including the one for the best low-fare airline in the world.
“These are the world’s two best airlines,” Kjos claimed as he stood with Fernandes at Farnborough, according to DN. The prizes “show that the customers like our product. They’re the ones who voted for us.”

A321neo orders good for AirAsia

AirAsia Bhd
June 13 (RM2.75)
Maintain add with an unchanged target price of RM4.15: Investors whom we spoke to on AirAsia Bhd’s order of A321neos have generally been cautious about the potential orders, fearing that AirAsia is once again over expanding. Investors did not like the additional 100 orders which come at a list price of US$125.7 million (RM499 million) each, as they come on top of the undelivered 304 A320neo orders. However, we believe that the orders are good for the AirAsia group, and there is no need to fear.
From an operational perspective, the A321neos are good for AirAsia. A321neos usually seat 220 passengers, but from 2018, a new version with 240 seats will be offered. The A320s currently seat 180, but this can be raised to 186 under a new configuration. So, the new A321neos offer 33% more capacity than AirAsia’s current fleet, and can help AirAsia optimise the service of existing high-density routes.
This will be important for AirAsia on routes such as Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu, where it had wet leased several of AirAsia X’s A330s this year to cater to the strong demand at specific flight timings. A higher-capacity aircraft can also help AirAsia reduce its unit flying costs, which will improve flight profitability for thick routes.
Airport congestion is also a major issue that is being faced by Asean airports. For instance, Cebu Pacific Air currently has 30 A321neos on order, against a fully delivered fleet of 38 A320s. This is important since the Manila airport is very congested, and also affecting AirAsia Philippines.
Thai AirAsia is facing similar congestion issues at Bangkok Don Muang, and Indonesia AirAsia in Jakarta. So we think a good number of the A321neos may be placed outside Malaysia.
Also, history has shown that AirAsia has significant flexibility to negotiate deferrals with Airbus when needed, so the orders placed today are meant to secure the future delivery slots. Should demand slow in future, we are confident that AirAsia will be able to defer the deliveries to avoid overcapacity.
The A321neo orders may be parked under the leasing arm Asia Aviation Capital (AAC). We expect this to boost the valuation of AAC to above the US$1 billion which is already on the table from a potential Chinese buyer, as it locks in future delivery slots at what we expect to be attractive prices.
A higher valuation for AAC has the potential to boost upcoming special dividends upon the partial sale of AAC.
If and when a formal announcement on the A321neo orders are made, we would look at several details including: i) over how many years the 100 A321neo orders will be delivered; ii) when the A321neo deliveries will start; and iii) whether the 100 new A321neo orders will replace some of the A320neos that are currently on order.
If the orders are spread out over many years and deliveres do not start until several years later, we expect current investors’ concerns to be alleviated. The major risk to AirAsia is if there is a terrorist attack on Malaysian soil, which could impact inbound travel demand into Malaysia, much like the Erawan shrine bombing in August 2015 which affected tourist arrivals into Thailand. — CIMB Research, July 12

This Is Why the World’s Most Successful Investors Are Buying Gold Now

Don't make the mistake of ignoring what an all-star roster of the world's richest investors is doing right now. They are buying billions of dollars' worth of gold.
(This is one of many reasons that it makes a lot of sense to have gold in your portfolio. We explain the why and the how in a free 22-page special report you can download here.)
For example, hedge fund legend Stanley Druckenmiller has earned an average of 30% a year for 30 years, without a single negative year. And currently, 18% of Druckenmiller's portfolio is made up of the SPDR Gold Trust  (GLD) , an exchange-traded fund that tracks the price of gold bullion.
George Soros, the man who "broke the bank of England" in the early 1990s, earned $1 billion by shorting the British pound. Along with Jim Rogers, Soros also earned investors a 3,365% return in just 11 years with the Quantum Fund.

Now, Soros owns a $264 million stake in Barrick Gold  (ABX) , the largest gold mining company in the world. It is his fund's second-largest holding. But that's not the only gold Soros owns. He also bought more than 1 million option contracts on the SPDR Gold Trust.
Another well-known investor with a stake in gold is David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital. Einhorn's investors have seen average annual returns of 16.5% since 1996. Now, he has a $165 million stake in VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF  (GDX) .
The list goes on with other big names like Paul Singer, Carl Icahn and John Paulson all owning large stakes in gold.
Why are so many big-name investors flocking to gold? As Druckenmiller said about his own large stake in the SPDR Gold Trust, it's because of the "absurd notion of negative interest rates."
Negative interest rate policy (NIRP) has flipped the world of international finance on its head. The concept of negative interest rates does not make theoretical sense. Instead of the borrower paying the lender with interest, the lender pays the borrower to take his money. Even former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke didn't think this would happen. In 2009 he said, "No one will lend at a negative interest rate; potential creditors will simply choose to hold cash, which pays zero nominal interest."

松下50周年- PANAMY(3719)上市50周年,50年从RM1,350 变成RM1,032,712,

我们都知道PUBLIC BANK的神话,因为它造就了无数的百万富翁。而今天要跟大家分享另外一家消费股神话,那就是松下电器PANAMY。这家公司的产品出现在很多人的家里,例如风扇,冷气,热水器,电饭锅等。而PANAMY的股价都是高于RM10, 是消费大象股。

不过它是一家净现金公司,而且派息非常大方,最近5年的平均派息%高达92.1%。也就是说公司每年平均赚RM100, 其中的RM92.1都会拿来派发股息。所以这家公司是股息投资者的最爱,因为过去几年的周息率介于4 - 7%之间。假设投资者在1966年IPO买进RM1,000股,过后在1975年subscribe RM350的附加股。当时的RM1,350资本在50年后就会变成了RM1,032,712( 7月4日股价 = RM29.82)。以下是计算方式。

上图是在PANAMY的ANNUAL REPORT 获得的计算,假设当初的Initial Capital是RM1,350, 在资金增长+股息收入的成长下,50年的回酬将如上。不过以上的价格计算时RM22.00,所以笔者以最新的股价RM29.82以及加入2015年12月收到的15仙的股息计算,50年的投资将会让你的RM1,350的投资变成RM1,032,712。

经过多次的的红股以及1975年的附加股,投资手上将会有19,034股PANAMY.

以RM29.82计算,投资持股的价值如下:

19384*29.82 = RM 650,0333

50年的股息收入如下:

2016年收到15仙的股息 = 19384*0.15=2907.6
Total Dividend = 379,472+2907 = 382,379

Total Wealth as at 4 July 2016 = 650,0333 + 382,379 = RM1,032,712

PANAMY的例子告诉我们长期持有的威力,但是可以持有这么久的人应该没有几个。毕竟现在的年轻一代大部分都要看到快钱,要他们持有超过1年都不容易。而且长期持有也必须要选对好的公司,不然抱着一家不派股息又亏钱的股息,公司的股价是很难会有作为的。

股票投资有很多方式,趋势投资,技术分析,价值投资或者股息投资。没有最好的,只有最适合你的。

共勉之。

觀點 - 施永青 黃金會恢復歷史上的功能嗎?

有論者認為:這只是一時的恐懼所造成,黃金不可能恢復它的貨幣功能;因為全世界的政府都不想失去發鈔的權力;只要政府在操控經濟環境時略佔上風,政府都會盡全力打擊民眾對黃金的偏好,設法讓人們相信,黃金遲早會變爛銅。 

現實是:全球各處的文明,都曾在一段相當長的歷史時段上,以黃金作為易物媒介,以及作為主要的財富儲存工具。 

在原始時代,人類的生產力有限,只能採摘與捕獵上天提供給他們的食物,所獲僅夠糊口。到生產力上升,所獲有餘的時候,就可以用自己所餘去換自己所需。譬如,自己所養的雞生了很多蛋,吃不完,可以與鄰家換點稻米。但可能鄰家也有養雞,不需要你的蛋,導致這項以物換物的交易沒法成交。因此,最好先把自己的雞蛋換成一種大部分人都願意接受的東西(如黃金),那就用來換甚麼東西都可以。 

黃金閃閃發光,大多數人都會喜歡,可以接受用作交易媒介。黃金相對稀有,並非隨處可摘,價格相對穩定。黃金不易有化學變化,長期儲存也不會變質,極適合用作財富儲存工具。 

黃金的貨幣功能,源自黃金本身的物理性質,不容易人為地被剝奪。相反,由政府發行的貨幣,其實只是一張印刷品,其交換能力與儲存價值,全靠政府立法保障;一旦政府失去權力或財力不足,其保障就會成為一句空話。 

近年,全世界大部分政府在財政上都有赤字,都在一定的程度上濫發鈔票,以至貨幣的增長速度遠遠快過整體的財富增長速度。結果是貨幣的購買力不斷蒸發,同一分量的貨幣可以代表的財富不斷減少。這等同政府正不斷地把人民的財產充公。 

私有產權是人權的主要部分。不保障私有產權的地方(如社會主義國家),通常連其他方面的人權也一併不太尊重。只可惜一般人權組織只關心與產權無關的人權,甚少意識到在貨幣上的量化寬鬆其實也是一種侵權行為,而且受害人眾多。更有一批為虎作倀的學者,長期為政府的無錨發鈔做法辯護,刻意貶低黃金的天然貨幣功能。 

格林斯潘早年曾是艾茵‧蘭德信徒。1966年曾在《The Objectivist》雜誌發表一篇名為“Gold and Economic Freedom”的文章,主張維護黃金的原始功能,並以金本位的方式,去限制政府胡亂發鈔。想不到他後來竟會去當聯儲局主席,並不斷以減息的方法去擴大貨幣供應;次按危機與全球金融海嘯可謂是他有份搞出來的。不過,他的這篇文章仍值得讀者上網一看。 

英國脫歐後,人們預期各國政府都會繼續量化寬鬆,為了避免自己的財產不斷地被政府充公,人們於是減持現金,增持實物資產,包括黃金與地產。我估計會作出這樣選擇的人將愈來愈多。
