Forum on Finance and Economy [in Bahasa]

Yesterday I start a new forum, it's http://forum.belajarkeuangan.com, frankly speaking, the forum still empty and i'm in a process of persuading people i know have competence in finance/economy topics. The process this far is going well, i got researcher from Gadjah Mada University joining my band [nickname : hamdy] he moderate news forum. While another friend of mine [nickname : p3ni] moderate forum on practical finance. I'm in a process to persuade another friend with IT background to help me run the administration, hope he will agree my offer.

For any of you speak in Bahasa and have a decent time and power to join, i hope [beg] you to join our team. Just register at the forum and PM me.

i plan this forum also have some educational resource, there is a forum on basic finance. Geezzz, i hope i have the power to go on. Wish me luck everybody!

what if the worst happen to you

I read in the news lately that fed rates cut have stimulate further economic expansion in US, this is truly a good news. I hope that there will be much more good news then. By rates cut, company will be encourage to expand it's business (price for having debts will be less expensive). Therefore more jobs will be created, more consumption triggered, and thus the economy expand.

But that story is just some ideal, no body knows how some factors affect economy. the above paragraph is only held true assuming ceteris paribus (other factor remain constant). We still have no vision what the tomorrow will be. Just in case you ended jobless in this shaky moment, here some nice blogs on how to earn from Internet.

It's make money on line blogs that may come handy for you. Just a word of warning, you are not alone in this jungle of net. Make a decent protection for you system and your account, there are thief out there waiting for you to bets your precious bucks.

Good Day and take care.

more on the financial crisis epicentrum

This is one of the proof i want to give you, my fellow reader. Life DOES still go on [ and will go on ], even in the US, from where the crisis started and causing major banks bankruptcy and much more, there is also survival of the everyday life. Raising daughter, going to church, doing hobbies and many more.

i'll tell you my feeling when i read this blog of Hot Diggidy Blog Diggidy, What You Do To Me. Her post may be the most honest blog post I've ever seen, yet she can describe her feeling so thorough, she also tell much of her daughter [ she describe her daughter as H, a 12 years old nice girl ].

well, continue your life guys, yes, i know how hard it is, not to be able to sleep well each night for we are not sure what will become in the next market opening [and how it close also] but mark my word! we will overcome this...........

everyday life in energizing Jakarta of Indonesia

Hi there, i think it's a good idea to talk about Indonesia since I already decided to take a break to my financial life. [ well if i can't/wouldn't talk 'bout finance it's a good idea to talk about Indonesia, right ! ]. Indonesia, the rest of Indonesia to be frank is some honest, peaceful and quiet place. We do have our share of conflict [ Which country are not, anyway ] But to be exact, it's a very cozy place you know, the beauty of nature combined with the massive cultural heritage of Indonesian tribes. And don't get me wrong, we are not some uncivilized remote country with a grass wearing people, well at least not me [ i can get online, see..!! ].

You can read a lot how culture mixed with industrious life in Ivy soraya . She tells lot of "modern thing", yet she is not bad at discussing our custom. You can read about Sabang Island [the most western island of Indonesian Archipelago], yet you can read also about the crowdness of Jakarta city, how she start find a "kost-kostan" [dormitory], how she make her living in Jakarta and much more of it, or maybe...... about her "Elling Bra" instead ^_^].

Sweet charming personality i guess, open to many roads ahead. Nice blog sis!

update to mortgage article blogs

update to my previous "blog on mortgage article", i found this Mortgage and More Blog. The Blog have some decent article about personal loan management and also about the mortgage itself. However, some patient proven to be useful here, since "the more" parts of this blog often are not related to mortgage and personal loan. The blog design not so cool, but however that's not so important if you seek knowledge, right!

While read this blog, i found that the perspective of this blog owner is acceptable at certain aspect. However double check the fact printed on this blog. Use google or other common information source (wiki, other search engine, etc) to double check the number.

Moreover, if you need to find some honest, earthly and informative blog on mortgage and personal loan, you can stop by this blog.

Hey, leave message that i drive you to that blog okay! Just to notice him that there is nice people outthere (like me ^_^), maybe...... just maybe, he will give me something in return.

Remember there is placeto call home

market crash ?! lost saving for big bucks bet in stocks market ?! you short stocks which freezed for weeks?

that's all been bugging many of us lately. With the volatility of market, everything can be happening in the next few second. That's definitely something not good for your health. Tell me if i'm wrong, but just like the common understanding high risk high gain, those high gain stock broker jobs you live in daily life DOES give you a high risk for a heart attack. Do gain that much problem for you? Do gain is everything in your life? (same happen to cut loss ^_^). Maybe, just maybe we should try to relax back, give a second to our rusty brain to understand, at last we all gonna go to our home when EOD is coming.

if home is websites, which sites will you called home? in my sparetime during this rushour i find this http://www.raptureddreams.com , well she's from canada you know! i wonder if canada hit by this global financial turmoil. Read her blog make me feel much more relaxed, that someone is still live her life out there. Doing reading books, watching movie, go to vacation site (she talks about Niagara Falls too ^_^).

these days I've been read more than enough about how market's going down and how it can down DEEPER, god help, have mercy on us trader and broker, is this punishment for us capitalist or is this your mercy giving us chance to look beyond our cramped cubicle, that's life out there.

fellow analyst, broker and trader..........remember, we still alive

:: For fun - Bear Stearns Rhapsody

It's not something about Indonesia,but still this post is something interesting to be shared. I found this post on Ahli Keuangan mailing list. For my introduction,it is about Bear Sterns having bought at cheap price by JP Morgan.

Bear Stearns Rhapsody
(using Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody tune)

Is this the real price?
Is this just fantasy?
Financial landslide
No escape from reality

Open your eyes
And look at your buys and see.
I'm now a poor boy (poor boy)
High-yielding casualty
Because I bought it high, watched it blow
Rating high, value low
Any way the Fed goes
Doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama - just killed my fund
Quoted CDO's instead
Pulled the trigger, now it's dead
Mama - I had just begun
These CDO's have blown it all away
Mama - oooh-hoo-ooo
I still wanna buy
I sometimes wish I'd never left Goldman at all.

(guitar solo)

~~~

I see a little silhouette of a Fed
Bernanke! Bernanke! Can you save the whole market?
Monolines and munis - very very frightening me!
Super senior, super senior
Super senior CDO - magnifico

I'm long of subprime, nobody loves me
He's long of subprime CDO fantasy
Spare the margin call you monstrous PB!
Easy come easy go, will you let me go?
Peloton! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Peloton! We will not let you go
(let him go !)
Peloton! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go
let me go (never) Never let you go - let me go Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, No, NO, NO ! -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
S&P had the devil put aside
for me
For me, for me, for me

~~~

So you think you can fund me and spit in my eye?
And then margin call me and leave me to die Oh PB - can't do this to me
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
No price really matters
No liquidity
Nothing really matters - no price really matters to me
Any way the Fed goes.....
