9:57 am - Market Outlook by Bill Wermine

Dear Traders,

First let me thank all of you who supported our event and talk at the Traders Expo this weekend.

I hope you found something that can benefit you at mine or one of the other speakers presentations.

Most of the speakers are honest in their dealings and motivated to upgrade your trading skills- those in this catagory are Daryl Guppy, Brent Penfold, Don Schellenberg, Bennie of NextView a few others and Phillip Futures/ Phillip Mutual and any of the SC licensed stockbrokers/ futures brokers who participated in the event. If you deal with any licensed brokers in Malaysia you have the protection of our very vigilant enforcement officers of the securities commission. If you deal with gray area brokers no one will protect you- you are on your own.

Let me warn you in dealing with any unlicensed in Malaysia dealers/ brokers or any who solicits deposits from you.

Before handing over any money check with the SC if there any investigations or complaints about them.

Here is a news report from the Singapore Straits Times about a prominent options seminar provider which was forwarded to me from one of our Traders Club members:

March 13, 2009Trading 'Expert' ordered to Refund FeesCourse trainees were upset that option trading instructor's doctorate came from an unaccredited universityA group of 49 people scored a legal victory over a self-styled expert on option trading who turned out to have a dodgy doctorate from an unaccredited American university.A dozen of the course participants said they had paid Mr Clemen Chiang (Freely Business School, Singapore) ) between $3,600 and $4,000 last year for a three-day course on option trading - a complex and risky investing technique which often amounts to betting on share-price trends.Several had also forked out another $960 for training software and a handful paid $1,600 to $12,000 more for online tutorials referred to as 'webinars'.Mr Chiang, a 34-year-old Nanyang Technological University engineering graduate, has been running these seminars for a few years at his Freely Business School in North Bridge Road.He would tell students his own success story of how he made millions, and he drew hundreds of participants.He claimed to have a PhD in option trading, a rarity in the finance industry here.But when it came to light last year that his doctorate was from the unaccredited Preston University in Alabama, the group of 49 wanted their money back.Yesterday, the Small Claims Tribunal found that Mr Chiang had misrepresented his qualifications. It awarded all participants a refund of close to 80 per cent of their fees for the seminar and a full refund for the cost of the software and 'webinars'.

The overwealming consensus among the over 500 who attended my talk on Saturday was bearish. When I asked the KLSE bulls to raise their hands only 3 or 4 put them up. When I asked those who were bearish- almost everyone.

Can the majority be right ? Markets don't work like that. The majority will pay the smart money who is in minority.

It may take a while but support is building in the KLSE from 830 to 850 with a near term target of 900. Stick with only the highest quality dividend shares for now and manage your risks. MAN OM IP Capital Guaranteed fund closes this Friday so give me a call if interested. Attached is an interview of Tim Wong, CEO of AHL check page 3 and 4.

I Am holding a Man Presentation to a few investors who expressed interest on Tuesday 17 March at my office at 2 30 PM so if interested please call or contact me.

Martin is holding a 2 hour futures trading presentation Wednesday evening at CIMB Auditorium at 7 00 PM to 10. If interested give Chong a call at 2095 3991. Should the KLSE consolidate or go down futures is an opportunity. I will speak on opportunities in gold as a hedge against inflation

After talking with famous Guru and CNBC analist Daryl Guppy at the ATIC he explained that China is doing very well and still buying commodities from Australia- he is from Australia but has an office in Bejing where he has business interests.

He likes gold, the Aussie Dollar and told me China has cut back their buying of US Treasury bonds which the US Government uses to fund the dead beats who are borrowed to the hilt and are defaulting on their house loans and credit cards and fund bankrupt banks, busted auto companies, mortgage companies like Fannie May and political chronies of Obama. This will hurt the US Dollar and may trigger massive inflation.

Why should the hard working and prudent, thrifty Chinese be asked to bail out the mistakes of the big spending zero savings Americans with their flatscreen TVs, SUVs, MacMansion houses etc

Your focus should be to protect your capital in these uncertain times especially from socialists like Obama who believe in wealth distribution from rich to the politically connected and the poor.
