1/3 Rest Day to go - End of day Asian Indices

Was lurking around Bloomberg.com and I came across this "Guess whose wine might appeal to teenage girl" by Richard Vines.
Article - Marc Andrea, head sommelier, young 22 years old, tasting wine. Great summary with 95% compression ratio. A few wines with names I can't pronounce, then this one caught my attention - Chateau Clarke Listrac-Medoc, 2002, France. I think i tried Medoc before. This guy has about 60 words to describe the wine, professionally.
I will say "Dry, Merlot like, more bitterish dry after taste" - 8 words ^_^ UNprofessionally. I just realised that taste can be described as 'oak-y'.

Let's get back to Indices;
Ok, my bad, the wine that will most likely appeal to teenage girl you need?
=Te Mata Gamay Noir, Woodthorpe, 2007 New Zealand=
Andrea for a while thought this is fruit juice ^_^

Indices

Nikkei 12,834 down 238
Hang Seng 20,906 down 355
Singapore ST 2,709 down 29

Looks like all Indices listed here are slightly weaker than 1st trading session.
Crude Oil is still at $116 slightly down from last week at $117. Oil rigs still pumping vigorously despite hurricane risks? The black Gold now costs more than Mineral or Drinking water. Some life your car has ay?

Hai yooo Hang Seng... there goes my PB China funds.

KLCI shot up from 1074 up 30 to 1100 lead by Maybank (Stock: 1155), Genting (Stock: 3182), Commerz (Stock: 1023), and PBbank (Stock: 1295).
KLCI is currently testing the super LOWww since two years ago of about 1060 points.
Wonder how would Malaysian own KLCI perform tomorrow with all the Political Monkey shows going on. Any pen knife or razor sharp 'parang' to catch? ^_^
