Dollar, Oil and Gold

Sounds like a modern day treasure chest doesn't it? It used to be strings of pearls, some gold dinner ware and diamonds. Now, everyone's ideal treasure chest contents have changed.

Anyway, here's Lee Cheng Hooi, the Head of Retail Research talking about the price of gold; the dollar; oil and also how the market will react to the budget.

Part 2


We also spoke to Gerald Ambrose from Aberdeen Asset Management and Peter Lim from SJ Securities to find out their wish list for the upcoming budget that will be tabled in parliament on the 23rd October 2009. I wonder how many of it makes it to the budget.



This week, we are having Andrew Lee, head of research at Maybank Investment Bank. We are also having Suhaimi Illias, an economists also from Maybank Investment Bank. The main discussion would be what are the stocks that would benefit from the budget. Almost the whole episode this Sunday (25th October) will be dedicated to the post-budget discussion.

As usual, if you have a question you would like to post to them, email us at stockwatch@tv3.com.my

How will the market react to the budget?

"How will the market react to the budget?"... or rather, "how has the market reacted to the market previously?". That is the question I posed to our guest for this week, Lee Cheng Hooi, Technical Analyst from Maybank Investment Bank. He would be in our studio live on 18 October 2009.

This week it was really hard to get a guest to come on the show as all the analysts were busy preparing for the budget or writing a report. So its a good thing Cheng Hooi was kind enough to sacrifice his Sunday night to spend time talking to us on the show.

Anyway, as usual... if you have a question for the guest this week (18 October 2009), email us at stockwatch@tv3.com.my and we'll see if we can answer it.

Did you know that Datuk cycles almost 40KM almost every week? I wish I had his stamina!

Stock Watch on October 4th, 2009

These are the videos from Stock Watch on October 4th, 2009. Our main guest was Datuk Azman Mahmood, chairman of Crystalview Group of Companies. I was introduced to Datuk Azman by another colleague in the office. I had an hour chat with Datuk a few days ago in his office and he shared with me his many years of experience in the costruction sector.

He seemed like quite an interesting man and I thought the viewers would benefit from his thoughts. Although, this episode wasn't about stock picking, Datuk had a lot of interesting opinions on how the government can help the property market. Below is his interview with our host Sheahnee Iman Lee in the studio.

We also spoke to two construction sector analyst on their thoughts on who would benefit from the announcement of the expansion of the LRT lines in the Klang Valley. Below is the video.


This one is a story on how research firms actually pick stocks and how they work.




Sorry everyone, just realized Datuk's interview wasn't encoded properly by youtube. I have just re-upload the video again. It's working already!

Budget announcement on October 23rd

The other day, the prime minister (who is also the finance minister) invited the public to send in their comments on the soon to be announced budget on October 23rd (it's usually in the afternoon after market closes).

Normally, financial programs such as Stock Watch would invite economists and corporate leaders to the studio on October 23rd to discuss what they would like to see in the budget before the tabling of the budget. However, as it is done after the finance ministry has already finalized the budget, little changes can be made.

So this year, I am going to to do the "pre-budget" discussion a little earlier on October 11th. Our confirmed guest in the studio is noted economist, Datuk Dr. Zainal Aznam, member of the National Economic Action Council(NEAC). Datuk Dr. Zainal is a familiar face on TV every year during the budget and he is guest in high demand on financial talk-shows. I am honoured that he has agreed to appear on our show to discuss what he would like to see in the budget. So hopefully, the views we put on air can be considered a little earlier by the finance ministry (if they're watching).

For this episode, I would like to invite viewers to email us at stockwatch@tv3.com.my and let us know what are the things you would like to see in the budget. If you have any questions for our guest, do let us know also.

After that, we move on to the "post-budget" discussion on 25th October. To me, this is the most important one as we discuss how investors can change their investments according to the new budget. I am still looking for a guest for this episode, do let us know who you would like to appear on the show for this episode.
