Economics: Facts? Fiction?: July 2008
http://economicsjournalist.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Analyzing the world through economics. Facts or fiction, you decide. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Merrill Takes $5.7 Billion Writedown, Temasek to Buy $3.4 Billion of Stock. Temasek has pumped in US$900million into Merrill again as committment of US$3.4bn worth of stock. The people there are sure optimistic about the seemingly gloomy future economy. Merrill had already raised 15.3 billion from capital markets earlier this year, including share sales to the giant sovereign wealth fund Temasek. Today's announce...

Economics: Facts? Fiction?: Temasek Portfolio falls 31%
http://economicsjournalist.blogspot.com/2009/02/temasek-portfolio-falls-31.html
Analyzing the world through economics. Facts or fiction, you decide. Sunday, February 15, 2009. Temasek Portfolio falls 31%. Almost anyone can achieve a relatively 'beat-the-market-major-stock-indices' portfolio as long as it is relatively diversified especially in today's economic climate where bad news land upon bad news. Probably I am wrong to say that, and itself a naive, unsupported suggestion, but a decline is a decline. By stating:. So what are they trying to say? This brings me to the topic of fi...

Analyzing the world through economics. Facts or fiction, you decide. Thursday, October 23, 2008. Comments on Samsung F480. Ok, this is not an economics topic, or anything related to my 'original posts'. I test drive a Samsung HP F480 and part of the condition attached is I have to do a review of the HP in my blog. So here it goes:. Aesthetically appealing (I love the leather cover and the half metal casing looks cool). Small and Light (although Ultra edition still trumps.). The small screen of F480 means...

Economics: Facts? Fiction?: Are foreign workers any good?
http://economicsjournalist.blogspot.com/2008/11/are-foreign-workers-any-good.html
Analyzing the world through economics. Facts or fiction, you decide. Friday, November 21, 2008. Are foreign workers any good? No, I do not really want to debate on the merits and/or pits and falls of having foreign workers in the country. No doubt, they have their merits, although it's hard to educate the man on the street to understand the economics behind this. But I do think that the the social cost, which are mostly intangible especially in the initial stage, have to be considered. And then the contr...

Economics: Facts? Fiction?: Been Busy: Gov't Spending is No Free Lunch
http://economicsjournalist.blogspot.com/2009/02/been-busy-govt-spending-is-no-free.html
Analyzing the world through economics. Facts or fiction, you decide. Wednesday, February 4, 2009. Been Busy: Gov't Spending is No Free Lunch. I haven't been posting for a long time ever since I left Singapore. Time isn't really on my side and I have been busy with work and studies. There is, however, one interesting article that I think it's worth a read. For the macronians, quoted entirely from WSJ written by Robert J. Barro:. The theory (a simple Keynesian macroeconomic model) implicitly assumes that t...

Analyzing the world through economics. Facts or fiction, you decide. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Financial Downturns = Opportunities? Just when Warren Buffet fans can still recall the guru saying that he won't touch IBs as they are overpriced, the news today scream "Buffet to Invest $5 billion in Goldman". So what do you think about the US government pumping in more than US$700 bn into the money market and the curb down on short selling? Firstly, where does the US Government gets that much money?
