if you notice, there a blip dip thing on the dow jones.

why?

Obama? or because it's coming to the CNY time whereby bonuses are getting prepped? or because of the 3rd/4th wave of layoffs that's impending which would require a certain amount of cash payout?

or it's just business as usual?

i just know that a can of luncheon meat jumped from $1.60 to $2.10 as mentioned by the inhouse auntie that does the cooking for the staff. 30% increase. in terms of dollar n cents it's not much to many of us. but it's a big increase ratio to watch out for.

likewise, sugar - 50% bump.
Mandarin oranges - 10-15% up.
Green Vegetables - 10% up.

all not healthy signs. perhaps it wouldn't affect most of us here. but it will affect alot others, and it will show.

Markets hit by Obama plan

Markets hit by Obama plan
                                     
A DANGEROUS  MOVE

 'Trying to regulate anything by pure  size is a very dangerous thing to do.'
  Mr David Viniar, chief financial officer of Goldman Sachs
               
 FINANCIAL markets in the United States and Asia reeled  after US President Barack Obama unveiled bold proposals that some said  were tantamount to a war on Wall Street. Mr Obama's plan would limit the size of banks in relation to  their peers and force some to close down lucrative proprietary trading  and private equity activities. The jury, though, was still out on  whether it would really prevent another financial crisis. Mr Obama made his proposals on Thursday, saying he was ready  to fight resistance from Wall Street banks he blamed for helping to  cause the recent meltdown. 'Never again will American taxpayers be held hostage by a  bank that is too big to fail,' Mr Obama said, accusing banks of  deploying an army of lobbyists to block reforms. 'If these folks want a  fight, it is a fight I am ready to have.'

                               As an indication of how banks might be hit, the curbs on  proprietary trading will cost Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit  Suisse, UBS and Deutsche Bank about US$13 billion (S$18 billion) in  revenue next year, according to JPMorgan Chase analysts. Mr Obama's proposals, considered the most far-reaching since  the post-Depression Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 that split commercial  banks from investment banks, sent shares in financial companies tumbling  and pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 213 points on Thursday  - the worst one-day fall in more than two months.
