  1. JPMorgan Says Stocks to Suffer $150 Billion Rebalancing Sales

    (Bloomberg) -- The relentless rally in equities faces a fresh threat over the next few weeks with the world’s biggest money managers set to unload as much as $150 billion of stocks.
    JPMorgan Chase & Co. projects real-money portfolios, including those of sovereign wealth and pension funds, will tilt back in favor of bonds to meet allocation targets, in the largest rebalancing flows to the asset class since the fourth quarter of 2021. The periodic rejigging could knock off as much as 5% from the price of global stocks, according to estimates by JPMorgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou.

    Pension funds and other institutional investors check their market exposures to make sure they meet strict allocation limits between equities and bonds every quarter- and month-end. Equities have outperformed bonds so far this quarter, leaving portfolio managers needing to cut their stocks exposure to meet their long-term targets.

    “The last time we had such gap with equities and bonds in opposite directions was in the fourth quarter of 2021,” Panigirtzoglou said. “This rebalancing flow could create around a 3% to 5% correction in equities.”

    The pension and sovereign wealth funds that form the backbone of the investing community typically rebalance their market exposures every quarter to achieve a mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds or a similar exposure. So far this quarter MSCI’s all-country stock index is up 5% while the Bloomberg global-aggregate bond index is down 1.3%.

    Japan’s $1.5 trillion Government Pension Investment Fund or GPIF, the world’s largest pension fund, would have to sell $37 billion of equities to get back to its target asset allocation, according to JPMorgan’s calculations. The $1.3 trillion Norwegian oil fund could move $18 billion from stocks to bonds, while the Swiss National Bank could sell $11 billion worth of stocks.

    Spokespeople for SNB declined to comment while Norges Bank Investment Management — which manages the Norwegian oil fund — didn’t respond. A spokesperson for GPIF didn’t immediately respond to an email outside of business hours seeking comment.

    US defined benefit pension plans — which manage $8.5 trillion of assets — would need to shift up to $185 billion out of equities and buy similar net amounts of bonds to meet their long-term targets, according to JPMorgan. The amount could be smaller as US defined pension funds are less strict about rebalancing than mutual fund and other institutional investors.

    An angry Singaporean woman today assaulted a well-intentioned Thai man trying to help her at an entertainment venue in the northern province of Chiang Rai.

    The victim’s girlfriend, Prempraphat Suwanachai, provided a detailed account of the incident during an interview with Channel 7. According to Prempraphat, the altercation occurred around 3.30am.

    Prempraphat and her boyfriend were working at the entertainment venue when the Singaporean woman, estimated to be between 45 and 55 years old, approached them in search of transportation to her hotel. Dressed in dark blue pyjamas, she expressed her inability to recall the hotel’s name, except that it was yellow. Frustrated and lost, she offered to pay 500 baht to anyone who could assist her.


    Recognising that the Inncome Hotel was in close proximity to the venue, Prempraphat suspected it might be the place the woman was referring to. Consequently, she agreed to help. The Singaporean woman handed Prempraphat a 1,000 baht banknote, and Prempraphat handed it to her manager to get change.

    Unexpectedly, the situation took an unpleasant turn. The woman began to scream, demanding her change and accusing Prempraphat of providing slow service. Assessing the escalating situation, Prempraphat decided to retract her assistance and promptly returned the woman’s money.

    Infuriated, the woman lashed out and struck Prempraphat across the face, hurling her mobile phone in the process. Unfortunately, the phone hit Prempraphat’s boyfriend, causing a two-centimetre-long wound on his face.

    Realising the severity of the injury, Prempraphat rushed her boyfriend to the hospital, where the bleeding continued. Following their hospital visit, she promptly filed a complaint with the police. However, when the officers arrived at the scene, the Singaporean woman had already vanished.

    Prempraphat speculated that the woman’s aggressive behaviour might be attributed to mental health issues. Urging the police to swiftly apprehend and prosecute the culprit, she hoped for a resolution as soon as possible.
     

    Friendly gesture turns fiesty: Singaporean woman's anger leads to assault on Thai man

    A Singaporean woman, who reportedly has a mental health issue, threw her phone at a Thai employee of an entertainment venue in Chaing Rai.

    for me i just need a proper hand free cam for recording. some time i explore abandon building, holding camera with 1 hand and exploring while looking for hole in the floor or ground or walk on rotten wooden plank is very very hard.

     

    with hand free i can use both hand to hold something or other stuff

     

    the cam also be use on channel and maybe when i do cooking, and hope can earn some cash even $50 to $100 per month  is better then nothing

     

     

     

    i try to hold off as late as i can. still hoping for pocket 3 else i wait for gopro hero 12 when always release in around sep

    my current hp video cannot make it.

     

    it like potato video.

     

    Perhaps the answer is to upgrade your mobile loh!

     

    There's more function that you can use then just a action cam.  Better value & ROI too!

    the Insta360  X360 can put here . but it size it big, so it not really discreet

    IMG_4765.jpg?v=1664239079&width=1946

     

     

     

    just the basic bundle and the rest of the accessories, i get from TB like led protector, screen protector, mic adpt etc....

    i get key in end of sep. mid aug need to order liao.

     

    I saw the insta360 X3, need to use with stick looks cumbersome with the stick.

     

    I see other use selfie stick with mobile, people already "chik" (dont know how to spell-the irritation sound) liao.

     

    Use this makes people even more 2 lan!

     

    Pocket 3 may be a better option for me, i guess.

    yes most likely 360 x3. i can wait till mid july to latest mid aug.

     

    also gopro 12 should be nov release

     

     

     

    no idea which property agent use, but the software to edit is very good. it call reframe. in short since it 360. you can just take video first then use reframe to focus on anything or follow any object you want

     

     

     

     

    at night a but lousy but it better then pocket 2. and i pocket 3 release soon

     

    Paiseh lah, was busy.

     

    This Insta360 cam need to use "teck-ko" (Bamboo stick)! 

     

    What setup bundle if you getting it? 

     

    What do you plan to use it for?
