x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	If anyone thinks there' s gonna be a bank run at some pt on the spore banks (n that includes foreign banks operating here), they really don' t under the setup n extent of efficient n effective control here.  While I may not be without criticism of the setup n control here, I have very strong faith that authorities here  have taken every care to make sure it doesn' t happen.  The last time we saw something close to a bank run here (n probably I need the older folks in this forum to correct me if I' m wrong) was around prior to 1970 when things here were rather fluid n volatile after separation.  moneyplant      ( Date: 14-Jan-2016 19:40) Posted: DYODD it can domino effect

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	There' s won' t be a bank run on OCBC..so no risk All about market sentiment and earnings... Qanghoo      ( Date: 14-Jan-2016 17:59) Posted: I believe they have different objectives.  GS maybe more opportunistic, LKS rubs shoulders well with Chinese Communist Party n can probably lay hands on assets in China when needed perhaps far more easily than we think.  OCBC are almost complete outsiders, trying to extend their presence in the PRC for the long term n needed to build themselves up over time.  They were already one foot into WHK.  There might have been an opportunity presenting itself that only they themselves knew n they had to cease.  A lot of these we don' t know n can only speculate.  In the end, I think they paid 1.8xbk for WHK, a far cry from DBS&rsquo paying 3.3x for DH.  N like u said only time will tell if they had made a miscalculation. lifeisgood      ( Date: 14-Jan-2016 16:30) Posted: While Li Kah Shing and Goldman Sachs were very busy the last few years trying to REDUCE their China exposure (Li Kah Shing sold almost everything, GS sold its china banks shares), OCBC happily cheong in to buy Wing Hang Bank in order to INCREASE China exposure. Is OCBC management more shrewd than Li and GS? Only time will tell.
