The Secret Of Want Want

August 1, 2008 · No Comments

The Dow Fell 205 points dragging down the Hang Seng Index. However Want Want steadly rises 5% today, totally unaffected by the market. I search but cannot find any related news. I am sure something is happening. There is a stream of steady buying pushing the price up constantly. I am sure next week we will find out what that news is. For now I can rest assure Want Want share price will rocket up in the coming weeks. It is likely to test the previous high at $3.60.

Start of the suckers rally

July 30, 2008 · No Comments

Commodities price falling from the parabolic rise. Dollar rising. The stock market is bouncing back. This is the suckers rally jim rogers was talking about.

In time the dollar will drop again from the rally. So will the dollar. So will the commodities but that might take a bit longer to regain momentum.

Testing Iphone 3G on my way to the office

July 14, 2008 · 1 Comment

Global Position Satellite

I go to work from Kennedy Town to Central on a bus. I was expecting the GPS system to indicate the direction to Central as the bus move like any car GPS system would do. This is not the case. The GPS does not keep tracking the location, you have to keep refreshing it. Once refresh, it is zoom out and you have to zoom in again. It does not have anything to show turn left, etc. It is simply a google map with a GPS locator that needs refreshing.

3G Reception

On my way to work, I couldn’t get 3G reception. But on my way back home in evening I have 3G for the entire journey. I don’t know what happen. Perhaps many people  use the waveband in the morning.

The Standard

Normally I would pick up a freebie newspaper as I get off the bus. I thought I will read online on the bus. This can also save paper.

http://www.thestandard.com.hk/

However I like to read the pdf version from  http://202.66.86.27/. But iphone can not read the pdf off the site for some reason.

To test if iphone can read pdf files I email one to myself via Yahoo mail. Iphone can read pdf, excel, etc via email but does not appear to be able to read off the web.

Review of the iphone 3G after 24 hours usage.

July 14, 2008 · No Comments

I love it !!!!  It is better than anything out there by a big margin. However here are some problems. Maybe in time it will be resolved. But now I can still live with it.

Problems
Hotmail is not available unless you pay some third part to redirect your mail.

I am now using yahoo mail. Push does not work at first. I follow some advise and went to yahoo->mail->option->logout then it works. HSBC ealert is not available for mobile number starting with 5. My friend who works in HSBC’s etrading department is informing them about it.

Stuff that I can do on a PC but not on the 3G iphone
I cannot see subscribe feed from Youtube, to read/edit comment, to see other people home page.

WordPress - there is an apps for TypePad but not WordPress. I try to edit my blog via Safari but cannot, maybe just me.

Cannot pay bill via HSBC. The confirm page does not appear. Stock Trading on HSBC web looks ok.

Some really cool stuff
Midomi is a free download from appstore. You can humm a music and it will find it for you. You can play the music and buy it from itune store. It is pretty accurate too.
