Nestle (4707) To Replace Parkson (5657) in FBM KLCI
According to The Star, FTSE Group, the index company, and Bursa Malaysia Bhd announced that Nestle (M) Bhd - Nestle (4704) would replace Parkson Holdings Bhd - Parkson (5657) in the 30-counter strong FTSE Bursa Malaysia KL Composite Index.
The replacement will take effect on on Monday, 21 December 2009. The reason why the replacement is made is not mentioned either in the article or the FTSE Group's announcement.
I think they replace Nestle with Parkson in FBM KLCI is because of the Nestle's stock price is much less fluctuate than the Parkson one. In this case, the FBM KLCI will look much more stable and also to prevent speculation on the index.

Dubai’s Debt Crisis Rattled World Financial Markets
The news on Dubai debt delays on last week cause the world stock markets to fell with a quit significant amount. Is this the indication that the world financial crisis is not ended?
HSI (Hang Seng Index) felt 1075.91 to 21134.50 (-4.84%), SSE (Shanghai Stock Exchange) felt 74.72 to 3096.26 (-2.36%) and (DOW) Dow Jones Industrial Average felt 154.48 to 10309.92 (-1.48%).
Luckily Malaysia was having holiday due to Hari Raya Haji celebration on last Friday, therefore FBM KLCI is not affected at this moment.
What will happen to FBM KLCI on Monday? I guess there will be a lot of people panic selling their shares to have some cash on hand. I think I will wait and see and buy on dip on those good fundamental counters especially blue chips.
