FOMC: Rate Forecast Lowered, Fed In No Rush To Raise Rates

FOMC: Rate Forecast Lowered, Fed In No Rush To Raise Rates

-          The latest FOMC statement has removed the term “patient” (in normalizing interest rates)

-          The term “appropriate” (in raising Fed funds rate) is now used in place of patient

-          2015 interest rate expectations by the Fed have also been massively lowered to 0.5% - 0.75% (Dec: 1% - 1.25%)

-          US economic growth forecast and inflation outlook were also lowered

-          Yellen said “just because we removed the term “patient” doesn’t mean we (the FOMC) are going to be impatient (in raising rates)”

-          Yellen also said that a April rate hike is unlikely, but after that a rate raise may be on the cards

-          No dissents from any FOMC officials in the monetary statement

-          Dollar fell, gold and equities rose

What This Means For Global Markets

-          This is a massive statement of intent by the FOMC; for the doves, this is as big a triumph as it gets.

-          There was almost no hint of hawkishness present in the monetary statement; the dovish makeup of the FOMC is having a huge say in how US interest rates pan out.

-          The hawks will find it difficult to force themselves back into the equation after the interest rate forecast was cut by a resounding 50 basis points.

-          A 50bp lowering of the end-2015 rate forecast means in the remaining 6 FOMC meetings of 2015, Fed officials need only conduct interest rate hikes ONCE or TWICE.

-          As such, a rate hike in June now appears too early; a September rate hike now looks to be the earliest time to raise rates.

-          No dissents in the FOMC statement suggests that all officials agree that the US economy is not ready for a rate hike.

-          The outlook for economic growth and inflation have also been lowered, further dampening hopes of a June rate hike.

-          This thorough win for the doves mean for the rest of the day and possibly till end of March, the dollar will likely weaken while equities and gold could embark on a moderate rally.

In a nutshell, the Fed is saying: Patience is a virtue, whether the term is present or not. Don’t count on an early rate hike.

Vard Holdings terminates 2 contracts linked to insolvent customers

Jamie Lee leejamie@sph.com.sg@JamieLeeBT 15 Mar4:23 PM

Shipbuilder Vard Holdings on Saturday said two affiliates of a customer E.R. Offshore have filed for insolvency at a local court in Germany.

Consequently, on March 13, it terminated two shipbuilding contracts for one platform supply vessel, or PSV, per affiliate, the company said. Vard was first notified of the insolvency case on March 12. It has received a 10 per cent instalment for one of the vessels.

"The group does not expect to repay the prepayment received, and expects to be able to sell the vessels at a price that will cover the expected construction cost less the prepayment received," it said.

The impact of the termination and the proposed resale is expected not to have a material effect on the earnings per share of the group for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2015.

Vard is on a downtrend since July 2014, our system has clearly tell you to stay away from this counter.

When you should look at UOB bank stock?

6 month ago, i met a chinese speaking Aunty investor in one of my seminar, she only trade the bank stocks. UOB and DBS. I ask her why, she told me the rest of the stock is too confusing, what she know is that Bank will always be there, they are back by the government and if bank were to collapse. Everyone in Singapore will going to be broke anyway.

She told me every year she just need to make 4-6 trades and that will be more that enough for her whole year expenses (She dont really spend much). I ask her so how much you made each trade? I was quite shock when she say 7-20k, that means everytime the amount she buy with her cash will be 400-600k. That is pretty good deal for her remisier!

She only buy when price is low. BUY low Sell High actually work, but not on penny stocks. What I see is Rich investor always buy that will still be around in the next 20years and the stock in definitely do better in the next 20years. That is why when they buy during price correction, they dont mind holding for a while more.

Looking at the UOB chart with RSI indicator, everytime RSI go below 30 the stock is in  oversold position, and it seems like it is working well for the past 2 year. If interest rate is going to rise in 2015, banks are likely to benefit from it. Will UOB move higher from here?

Investing Improving Europe Equity with ETF

(Reuters) - U.S. investors stung by the falling euro who want to stay invested in Europe are turning to exchange-traded funds designed to strip out the impact of the region's currency. The biggest among so-called "currency hedged" ETFs, the WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity ETF, has already added some $576 million in new money since last Friday, and nearly $1 billion since the start of the year, ETF.com data show. "Currencies have become a huge part of global equity returns," said Art Laffer Jr., a Nashville investment manager who uses a currency hedged ETF for his exposure to Germany. A currency hedged ETF strips out the foreign currency return of a given fund by investing in foreign currency forward contracts and rolling them, typically on a monthly basis. This can have a major impact on returns for U.S. investors in a region like Europe, where the euro has dropped dramatically. (Read More…) Source: Reuters.com, Fri Jan 23, 2015 2:20pm EST

5 RULES to prevent a BIG losses in Trading

Few days ago I met up with some investors, they asked me to help the check out their stocks. Some of the stocks is in terrible condition, usually the common question is "Should he/she buy more at current price?"or "Should he/she Sell now?" When your stocks is down 50% it is really not easy to answer the 2 question above, however, lets think about why you think the price up if you continue holding? If you cant find any reason for it to go up, then you should not be holding on to a losing counter. I always tell my client, a big loss always start from a small loss, cut loss when it is still small. 

5 RULES to prevent a BIG loss in Trading

1.  Never follow other people/GURU/INSIDER/FRIENDS/REMISIER to get in a trade.
2.  Never trade just for 1-2bid, it doesnt work here in Singapore unless you are getting super low commission. Many people thought it is easy to make 1-2bid, so they buy ALOT of shares, the price up a bit, they can run away with small profits, however many times they cannot react fast enough to the opposite direction and get caught with Big losses.
3. Never RISK more than 2% of your portfolio in a single trade, you cant win every trade, some times you will have losses, the rule of the game is to win more than you loss, Win big when you win, Lose Smaller than what you win when you lose
4. Never Average down a Loser, buy stocks like you are investing in a business, Dont put in more capital on the business that is losing money! Invest more on the business that is making you the money!
5. Never trade without an Exit Strategy, knowing how you get in is easy, however many people always do not know how to get out when the PROFIT and also when they making LOSSES. Below is some of the example of how you can exit before big drop in the stock price using ART Supertrend System

 Ezra changed trend since August 2014, never show green candle since then, our Smart money index show no more Smart money in the stocks. Mostly retail money stuck in the stocks.

 Ausgroup change trend Since Aug 2014, our Smart money index show no more Smart money in the stocks. Mostly retail money stuck in the stocks.

Mirach Change trend since September 2014, our Smart money index show no more Smart money in the stocks. Mostly retail money stuck in the stocks.

Singapore REIT tax concessions extended for another 5 years !

• As noted in the Budget 2015 Singapore REIT tax concessions were renewed for another five years to the end of March 2020. This included the Foreign-Sourced Income Tax Exemption, Reduced Withholding Tax for Qualifying Non-Resident Non-Individual Unitholders and the Goods and Services Tax Concession. Only the stamp duty remission on transfer of Singapore assets has not been renewed.
• In 2015 year thus far, the 28 REITs and six stapled trusts have averaged a total return of 3.8%, following average total returns of 14.0% in 2014. As of yesterday’s close the three best performing REITs in 2015 in terms of price and dividends were Fortune REIT, Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust and Mapletree Commercial Trust.
• During the Budget 2015 speech yesterday the Deputy Prime Minister noted that overall Singapore’s tax regime for REITs continues to remain competitive relative to those elsewhere in Asia and will help to anchor the sustainable growth of the Singapore REIT industry.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are a portfolio product that allow investors to share in the income generated by the tenants of properties, while bearing some of the risks associated with property values and financing costs. Hence REITs, which have been listed in Singapore since 2002, provide an efficient way to include real estate in an investment portfolio.

Recent tax concession renewals

Singapore’s Budget 2015 extended REIT concessions for another five years through to the end of March 2020. The specific renews as outlined by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) were as follows:

• The package of income tax concessions for REITs will be extended till 31 March 2020. With the extension, the tax exemption on qualifying foreign-sourced income will apply so long as the overseas property is acquired by the REIT or its wholly-owned Singapore tax resident subsidiary company on or before 31 March 2020.  The concessionary income tax rate of 10% for non-tax-resident non-individual investors will also continue until 31 March 2020. More information can be found on the IRAS overview of Budget 2015 tax change found here and in Annex A-6 of the Budget 2015 – found here
• The existing GST concession for listed REITs will be extended till 31 Mar 2020. In addition, to facilitate fundraising by the REITs and Registered Business Trusts through Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), the GST concession will be enhanced to allow these trusts to claim GST on expenses incurred to set up SPVs that are used solely to raise funds for the trusts, and the SPVs do not hold qualifying assets of the trusts directly or indirectly. These REITs and Registered Business Trusts will also be allowed to claim GST on the business expenses of such SPVs. More information on the GST concessions can be found here.

The stamp duty remission on transfer of Singapore assets has not been renewed. As noted in Annex A-6 of the Budget 2015 – found here, the stamp duty concessions were intended to enable the industry to acquire a critical mass of local assets, as a base from which the REITS can expand abroad. As this has been achieved, the concession will be allowed to lapse after 31 March 2015.
