Hello Pezz, Today’s Report: I could not help myself. It was as if Fate directed my gaze toward the computer screen, and Destiny forced my hand onto the keyboard. I acquired an equal-weight dollop of each of the following: China Shipping finance.yahoo.com at HKD 4.95 CNOOC finance.yahoo.com at HKD 15.00 People’s Food finance.yahoo.com at HKD 5.20 Petro China finance.yahoo.com at HKD 2.85 Sinopec finance.yahoo.com at HKD 2.375 Yangzhou Coal finance.yahoo.com at HKD 5.70 Yes, I know I may be compounding my earlier mistake of exiting too soon with another miscalculation of entering too late. The issue is I could not bear to think that these still-inexpensive shares in an as yet immature mania might go up in value without my participation if and when the officialdom in Beijing ever announce new rules allowing China mainland institutions (and dare we dream it, mainland individuals) invest in the Hong Kong stock exchange. I would be depressed on that day, reading the headlines and am not in cheap dividend paying resource, food and shipping shares. Besides, so many money managers are raising money for new China funds and I cannot fathom where they will put all that money without placing some in my pocket. Also, bull markets corrects all mistakes, or so I am told. Chugs, Jay

Hello Pezz, Noon Report: I am unnerved (well, actually I am enthusiastic) by the shouts across the Atlantic and the Pacific for Trade War, Currency Mayhem, and I am frightened (ok, OK, I am again enthusiastic) by the relentless rise of gold and the dawn of renewed equity weakness. I purchased: (a) One dollop of Chow Sang Sang finance.yahoo.com at HKD 2.225/shr, (b) One dollop of Luk Fook finance.yahoo.com at HKD 1.30/shr, and (c) Four dollops of paper gold at HKD 3,693/tael. Chow Sang Sang and Luk Fook are jewelry chain stores in Hong Kong, selling gold, platinum, silver, gemstones, and finished jewelry. Notice they are at mid-way point of their 52-week high/low, sport attractive dividend yields, and should benefit from the expected flood of mainland tourists bringing with them the certain deluge of RMB cash. Both chains accept RMB currency. Recent changes in rules and policies will apparently enable mainland tourists from many parts of China to visit Hong Kong without being part of any tour group, and they will be able to bring their RMB with them. Further rules changes will allow the use of RMB-denominated credit cards in Hong KOng, and perhaps allow certain mainland institutional investors to invest in the HK stock exchange. On the paper gold purchase, I am merely augmenting my already substantial non-USD currency and contra-asset troops during this critical moment when the defender’s citadel moat is crossed, walls scaled, and gate about to be burst open, so as to be better position for the looting that will soon be. I will be looking for ACF Mike's pile of goodies, but will make sure I kick over Maurice's QCOM sandbox as well :0) Chugs, Jay
