ignore the noise and distractions ...
Nobody sees your tears when you walk in the rain; dance merrily & wash away the pains
Let the wondering mind wonders for tomorrow is never promised ~ you cannot force the erratic heart to slow & calm down ~ give space & time to warm down
There isn't a moment of standstill as the eco-forces continue to manifest, evolve and change
Man - lives about 36,000 days with few crossing 100 years but their minds are never lateral: complex, mystical, calculative and scheming. The ultimate outcome surprises at most times
The journey of life is lengthy but finite ~ there is no "IFs" & "BUTs"人生没有如果只有"结果和因果"
Bananas never split twice & water flows only in one direction - Nature paints a perfect Art
With internet, news, truths, half-truths, misinformation & happenings disseminate within seconds. Read with a 'pound of salt' & sieve out the real from the doctored and refrain from immediate responses
Reflection on Recent Capital & Stockmarkets in pkweksh.blogspot
29th December, 2025
The rich valuation in DJIA, S&P500 and NASDAQ became a 'new normal' as many screamed "this time it is different". Will "thou shalt rise" continue into 2026? Perhaps, you can see DJIA [52,000], S&P500 [7,300] and NASDAQ [27,000] ... but expect an impactful corrective low 1Qtr [Jan - Apr]
Gold is likely to face some resistance and profit taking $4800-5200 while silver faces resistant selling & profit taking $75-82
16th January, 2026
The annual cyclical lows [3-monthly] are January, April, July & October while the 4-years cycle should peak in 2026 & turns down ~ 2026 will prove to be a volatile year
2nd February, 2026
Gold was a "Buy" above $3000 with the target of $4800-5200 [top up at $5600] while Silver was a "Buy" above $58 with a target of $90 [top up at $121]. Any prices above the targets were aberrations & profit-take never make anyone goes broke
The re-rated Gold entry is around $4300-4700 and Silver is $65-85, while BTC looks good at <$70,000 after recent corrections; trade for a rebound. Oil is the outlier & poise to surprise
Investment is an Art & it becomes clearer when you differentiate between noises and facts. As of Friday closed [6th March 2026]:
Gold $5,158 Silver $84.31 Crude $90.90 Brent Crude $92.69 BTC $69,196
S&P 500 6,740 DJIA 47,501 Nasdaq 22,387 HSIndex 25,757 Nikkei 55,620 STIndex 4,848 FTSE Bursa 1,718 KOSPI Composite 5,584 Thai SET 1,410
Ambitious US/P Trump forced a regime change in Venezuela &, together with Israel, is now battling Iran. Next, he is looking at Cuba and not forgetting he had his eyes on Greenland & Canada. When Rules of Laws become Law of the Jungle, anarchy reign
In today's context, there is no "limited warfare"; noticeably those countries that US had attacked are non-Nuke-able countries ~ Iraq, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Venezuela ~ and speed is the essence.
Attacking Iran, a "3,000years Persian history", is plausibly an unwise gamble
The Jury is still out
The world is, and must, go through substantial changes given that erratic, unstable, autocratic & nationalistic fervor overrun peaceful coexistence & submission. The desire to dominate, dictate and command will always undermine stability
Nuclear weapons are safe in the hands of an aggressive but sane person; the fear is when a Mad Man 'show hand'
WATER - clean water; the world will go to war because of [lack of] water. Even commerce [data centers, chip making, AI, others] will stop & collapse when water is not available
Without stability, commerce contract & collapse and so will the capital markets. I have raised the alarm in my 29th Dec 2025 blog [see above]. Your guess is as good as mine
Confidence and trusts rebuilding take time
This crisis conflates a new world order where likeminded nations will congregate; from the ashes come the phoenix
Not everyone will live to see & enjoy the daylight
I am not all doom & gloom ~ Stay calm, sane and calculated ~ when the ill-winds blow passed, a new era begins
