'Time to profit from oil's rise'

Seems still I don't really know abt blogger.I like xanga,wretch and facebook more instead of blogger.Saw a news article which may affect our life.

Time to profit from oil's rise
(HK STANDARD) 31/10/2007 Wed 05:30AM
Crude oil prices are ripe for some "tactical" profit-taking after their recent rally to record highs, investment bank Goldman Sachs said yesterday, as it recommended closing long positions in oil, agriculture and gold.


"We are not trying to call a top here, just take profits from a tactical perspective, as prices could continue to rise in the coming weeks," Goldman said in a research note.The bank said oil prices could rise above US$100 a barrel as key upside risks remain, such as cold winter weather exacerbating supply shortages, a US Federal Reserve rate cut, weak dollar, rising costs and royalties and ongoing geopolitical turmoil.



Can't imagine what will happen if it rises to US$100 per barrel.Maybe at that moment,all of us can only walk to Taipei City as the oil is too expensive that the bus company must increase the bus fee.And I would wonder how many percent will the air ticket rises.Everytime when the oil price rises a bit,the airticket price will rise more rapidly but it won't drop when the oil price drops.Is that scientists should concentrate more on this problem?Also if it rises such a lot,it may also cause the economics declines just as the 70's.And both HK and Taiwan economics are directly affected by the U.S. economics and it directly affected by the oil price,therefore this news may relate to our economics and our life.

p.s.Seems not that exciting in Chang Gung here even today is Halloween.Will it be the same even in Christmas.

Forget passowrd

Omg,I forget my last blog password and therefore I can't log in there.I am really really really apology for my careless and stupid mistake that I made.And now I create this new blog instead of the old one.Hope u can forgive my mistake.
Well...I don't know what I should type already ... however,its the assignment.Ok then,maybe I should talk about my future,yup,where to travel next XP.

In my opinion,Taiwan is a very attractive place for travel because it has a lot of nature sides and nightmarkets.I remember that I have a lot of friends after they visited Taiwan,their impression of Taiwan are ... food & night market.However,in my opinion,beisdes food & nightmarket,Taiwan is also an excellent places for hiking.Although Taiwan is not a very big island(compares with Aust and Japan etc),still it has a lot of characteristic hiking sides,cultural heritage,shopping centres(but I think many things there are expensive expect food) and also a lot of hot spring near Taipei City which are very convenience.I am sure I will go and enjoy it in winter. ^^

When my senior pretty schoolmates said there has better local food in Tainam than Taipei City.Then I am sure no matter what,I must go to Tainam to try that excellent Taiwanese food,But seems Chang Gung workload is really high when compare with the other universities in Taiwan,when I can have time to go there to travel!!!But first,two problems must be solved,first,I need to improve my Chinese(or called putonghua in mainland) speaking and second,I can see my pocket becomes lighter now.

Haha,sometimes I will think I am a backpacker or a student XP

Phyics...

'We shall not flag or fail...we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air...we shall never surrender.' by Winston Churchill,Prime Minister of Britain in World War Two

Although I love this quote,however,physics...I surrender.After the battle of 6th floor international conference room (which I had my physics test there).I know I should drop this subject and have it again later during summer holiday or next year.Is that really a must to study physics when I am just a life science student?No matter what,I can't understand physics although I like assistant-professor Chiu Shao Hsuan and I am sure he is a good lecturer.

If I can get higher than 35 marks,I think the sun will rise from the west then.

Besides physics and english,I must K.O. the rest.Biology,chemistry,bio lab,chem lab,chinese language,biomaths,come on.

p.s.Why Chang Gung is so concentrate on quiz,test,exam but no some group project,discussion or self studies etc.Everyday has quiz,test,exam,quiz,test,exam,quiz,test,exam...I hate to study under pressure.

Travel,travel and ... travel

...umm...is that I need to update my blog here...however,seems nth really special these few days.

But in the last Sat I went to Chinkuashih and Chiufen with some schoolmates.The view there are beautiful and the 'Golden waterfall'(I am not sure what the english name is) is amazing.Although it was already the second time I have been there,still I think I will go there again if I can be free later because the culture and the nature view there are really attractive to me.Unfortunately,there were so many ppl in Chiufen last saturday and we needed to go back school early.Otherwise I am sure that we can have more fun that day.

In my opinion,Chiufen and Danshuei are the most attractive places in north Taiwan.These two places both has there special food and beautiful view.Oh,I miss Danshuei specail Turkish ice-cream already.In Taiwan here,a lot of special food and Taiwanese food which may not been found in other places(Or even you can find it in other places,it may not as yummy as in Taiwan) and the most important thing is that it is not expensive(mostly,but McDonald's here is very very expensive) .However in Chang Gung,you can't have any delicious food when u can find delicious food everwhere in Taiwan.omg.
