□本報記者 官平做貴金屬投資的人，迷你倉大部分青睞白銀勝過黃金，一則白銀行情波動大，二則白銀單位價值相對較小，玩白銀也可以稱得上是“玩心跳”。今年以來，黃金、白銀行情都不小，紐約金價、銀價已分別下跌19.94%、24.88%。不過貴金屬分析人士指出，恐慌下挫難免會失去一些短線投資機會，特別是白銀一度跌到每盎司20美元以下，較2011年高點跌了近60%，而白銀市場本身並未發生太大變化，未來仍將會修復向上。黃金白銀孰強孰弱黃金、白銀同屬貴金屬品種，流動性均非常好。根據上海期貨交易所披露，白銀具有貨幣屬性，在歷史上很長一段時期同黃金一樣充當貨幣。國際貨幣史上，除了出現金本位外，還出現過銀本位。隨著貨幣制度改革、信用貨幣的產生，銀幣逐漸退出了流通領域。目前鑄造的銀幣主要是投資銀幣和紀念銀幣。業內人士也指出，白銀的多功能性使得它在大多數行業中的應用不可替代，特別是需要高可靠性、更高精度和安全性的高技術行業，白銀在電子行業中得到廣泛應用，尤其在導體、開關、觸點和保險絲上。白銀還可用于厚膜漿料，網孔狀和結晶狀的白銀可以作為化學反應的催化劑。硝酸銀可用于鍍銀，可製作銀鏡；碘化銀可用于人工降雨。黃金和白銀在屬性上仍有一些差別，白銀工業屬性較強，而黃金多用于飾品。在市場中，屬性的差別也經常從行情中反映出來，白銀受宏觀經濟影響更大，而黃金受貨幣市場影響較大，特別是美元的強弱。佈雷頓森林體系瓦解後，美元信用代替了黃金原有的擔保價值。近期印度等地由於以盧比計價的黃金價格大漲、黃金進口受限制、黃金消費稅提高等，諸多消費者放棄黃金轉為購買白銀，再加上美元走軟，貴金屬市場普遍走強，白銀的消費和投資需求均出現較明顯回升，價格也比較堅挺。22日，美國勞工部發佈9月非農數據，市場恐慌緩解並預估美聯儲將推遲QE退出時間表。本周貴金屬中白銀漲勢明顯強于黃金。上海中期期貨分析師李寧指出，10月15日以來，白銀在探底20.51美元/盎司後震蕩回升，主要是因為美國經濟數據不及預期、美聯儲官員發表鴿派言論、評級機構看淡美國及主要經濟體製造業回升等因素所致。在白銀的需求結構中，有超過一半的實物需求來自工業，因此，製造業景氣程度影響白銀的需求狀況。從中、美、歐三個主要經濟體最新公佈的製造業先行指標——PMI來看，都呈現出不同程度的回升。中國9月製造業PMI為51.1%，比上月上升0.1個百分點，為連續第3個月回升，表明我國製造業經濟延續穩中有升的格局；美國9月ISM製造業PMI升至56.2，高于預期的55.0，且創下29個月以來新高；歐元區9月製造業PM儲存倉終值為51.1，符合預期，為連續第三個月實現增長。業內人士指出，主要經濟體製造業的回暖將有助于白銀未來工業需求的回升。QE縮減後白銀成色幾何數據顯示，從2009年以來，白銀價格最高漲幅超過2倍，而黃金僅1倍左右。市場擔憂，在美聯儲縮減並最終退出QE後，白銀跌幅將深于黃金。但一些業內人士不同意這個“假說”，一則目前白銀跌幅已然很深，後期下行空間有限，二則QE退出或預示宏觀經濟回暖，這對白銀的支撐將明顯大於黃金。白銀的波動一直比黃金劇烈，白銀更像是一隻創業板股票，其風險和機會均大於黃金。李寧認為，QE縮減並退出後，白銀的跌勢不一定會超過黃金，因為美聯儲若退出QE，其背後的重要支撐必然是美國經濟的穩步好轉，美國經濟向好有助于全球其他經濟體回暖，雖然白銀有較強的金融屬性，會不可避免地受到流動性收緊的負面衝擊，但其工業需求占據一半比例的商品屬性或將使其跌幅小于黃金。�泰大通產研中心經理關威認為，削減QE規模更易對金融屬性更強的黃金造成衝擊，白銀當前的價格已跌到2008年時的最低位，而黃金距離2008年時的低位還存在一定距離，因此理論上黃金的下跌空間較白銀更大。初期黃金的下行壓力反而大過白銀，但隨著時間的推移，退出QE引發大宗商品價格下跌，會使價格相對便宜、更易受到資金撤出衝擊的白銀走勢更加疲弱。本周白銀走勢確實強于黃金，但從近兩周來看，二者反彈的幅度相差無幾。目前黃金和白銀價格均回到8月28日以來最大跌幅的50%回撤位的位置。“從直觀來看，美國羸弱的經濟表現本應拖累工業屬性較強的白銀走勢。但是經濟疲弱同樣導致推遲縮減QE的市場預期升溫。我們認為，短時間內投資者更加關注QE問題，因此白銀近期的上漲可以理解。同樣，美國股市同期的強勁表現也符合這樣的邏輯。”關威如是說。肖磊認為，25美元╱盎司之下是白銀長線投資機會，白銀的投資需求依然在被激發，中國和印度等對白銀的消費增長較快，黃金由於牽扯到金融安全，各個國家都有不同的政策限制，增加了民�購黃成本，更多的消費者開始選擇白銀來替代黃金消費，這將推動白銀長線需求，QE退出前後白銀會有一定的波動但不會影響整個趨勢，白銀目前的價格相比2011年創出的49美元高點已下跌接近60%，可實際上白銀市場並未發生太大危機，這種下跌會逐漸得到修復。此外，近期國內持續出台利好光伏能源的多項政策，將給投資者心理產生良好預期作用。李寧表示，由於市場對美聯儲退出寬鬆政策預期漸強、美國財政僵局引發的避險情緒依然存在及白銀未來工業需求帶來的心理支撐，白銀價格在年內或將呈現震蕩抬升格局。新華社圖片迷你倉最平

（檳城25日訊）檳州首席部長林冠英的官車在今年8月被網民揭發違例泊車在新街鎖車輪區的照片後，儲存倉峇央峇魯檳州馬青區團團長李明勝在週四晚，在其面子書上載了兩張照片，聲稱他在牛干冬一帶，親眼目睹林冠英的官車違列停放在狹窄的街道旁，對欲彎出大路的車輛和路邊行人造成不便，提高了意外發生的機率。李明勝週五接受《光明日報》訪問時指出，他見狀把有關照片拍下作為證據。他說，他是在週四晚約8時左右駕車到牛干冬一帶找朋友，當他要把車子從小徑路口左轉通往牛干冬路時，發現一輛車牌PG1的馬賽地停放在街邊的轉彎處，他的汽車也差點撞上該輛官車。政要親睹"起初我以為林冠英的官車只在違例處停放很短的時間，結果在10分鐘後，當我二度經過同樣的路迷你倉最平時，發現該輛官車依然停放在同樣的位置上。"他認為，由於官車恰恰停放在路邊的彎角處，一般上欲從小徑路口，左轉通往牛干冬路方向的司機，會先注意右方駛來的車輛，然後再慢慢駛出路口，如果左邊的轉彎處有車輛停放，將會提高發生車禍的機率。李明勝說，林冠英的官車已非首次違例停放，此次是他親眼目睹，而且手中也握有圖片作證據。"無論林冠英知不知情，他身為檳州首長就有責任告訴其司機，不可在違例處停放車輛，既然檳州已開始實施鎖車輪及罰款措施，身為首長者就更應以身作則，應和平民百姓一樣奉公守法，才能成為好榜樣，而不是持雙重標準。"針對此事，本報週五也致電首長新聞秘書張燕芬，她在回應此事時說，他們有待有關報導見報後，再對外作出回應。;迷你倉

Singaporeans must discard old industrial thinking and adopt an innovator mindset in the new dynamic landscapeCharlie Ang Hwa LeongCEO, founder & principal trainerFutureCraftIN THE recent National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong outlined the challenging environment that Singapore is operating in.迷你倉 Citing 3D printing, artificial intelligence and robots as examples, he believes that technology may one day replace highly skilled, white-collar professionals. I strongly share PM Lee's sentiments and wish to caution Singapore enterprises and professionals against sticking to the status quo given the growing risk of technological and market disruptions. Instead, Singaporeans must discard old industrial thinking and adopt an innovator mindset to succeed in this new dynamic landscape.In this article, I hope to excite everyone to become innovators and exploit the growing opportunities in three clusters of innovation which I shall elaborate on.Re-invention of everythingAlmost everything that we know and do today is based on industrial thinking. How the economy operates, governments function, corporations grow, societies behave, and individuals think are based on industrial constructs. At present, the global collective mentality is to adapt the industrial way of life to the knowledge model (that is, innovation economy). Unfortunately, this is an incremental and dysfunctional perspective. Instead, we need to invent new constructs of the knowledge model afresh.Let's consider how some constructs may be re-imagined:Business modelThere are only two business models in the industrial economy: 1) value-adding to raw inputs and selling it at a higher price, and 2) developing and/or investing in an asset for rental. Most businesses apply a hybrid model. In the innovation economy, there are at least five business models, all of which support supernormal profits.One such model is the Platform Model, where a "mothership" company co-creates value with its partners through business or technology platforms. UK-based chip design company ARM is the perfect archetype of this model. Its chip design technologies power an astonishing 95 per cent of the world's processors for smartphones and tablets. Yet, it does not manufacture a single chip. Instead, ARM licenses its designs to more than 1,000 partners, including Samsung, AMD and NVIDIA, to manufacture its processors that are custom-fitted to the disparate mobile devices.Education systemThe education system of today is inherently industrial. In its current form for over 100 years, its primary purpose is to load students with content and equip them for their first jobs. Rigid and inefficient, the system does not maximise individual talent nor prepare students to excel in a hyper-speed world.The education systems we need for the innovation economy should have 5C Outcomes (Critical Thinking, Creativity, Curiosity, Cross-cultural Communication and Collaborative Skills) as key goals. Such capabilities are necessary for the 5E (Entrepreneur, Executive, Engineer, Entertainer, Educator) types of knowledge workers to succeed in the very near future. Education should be on-demand, learner-centric, individually designed, self-paced, trans-disciplinary, problem-oriented, and gaming-like.I will leave you to re-imagine other facets of business and life, such as the new factors of production, competitive advantages, and ways that we live, work, and play. These re-imaginations are the inspiration for breakthrough business opportunities and re-inventionmini storageof personal careers.Digital disruption of industriesThe digital disruption of industries occurs when new players apply cutting-edge technologies and business models to "game-change" traditional industries. In the last 15 years, we have seen industries, such as photography, music, news and retail, succumb to the digital conquerors.The worst-case scenario was the extermination of the chemical photography industry. Within a decade, the market shrank by 98 per cent, forcing the venerable 122-year-old Eastman Kodak and Polaroid into bankruptcy. In their wake, Canon, Flickr, Instagram and Pinterest quickly dominated new niches in the digital photography landscape.Next on the digital conquerors' warpath are the education, media, automotive, healthcare, defence and manufacturing sectors. Thankfully, digital disruptions almost always create new e-cosystems and supporting industries. Advertising disruption spun off the digital marketing industry, while retail disruption is supported by a booming sector of e-commerce platforms, fulfilment services and payment gateways. McKinsey Global Institute's report titled Disruptive Technologies: Advances that Will Transform Life, Business predicts that the top 12 disruptive technologies will create economic impact to the scale of US$14 trillion to US$33 trillion per year in 2025. We should all get ready for this bounty.Long tail of everythingWe are now in the midst of a radical market transformation called the Long Tail effect, which former Wired magazine editor-in-chief Chris Andersen elucidated in his 2006 book The Long Tail. Previously, most of the products, entertainment, and information we consumed were developed via a top-down approach to create "hits" (product selections that sell huge volumes). The traditional media (for example, television, cinemas) and physical channels (stores, warehouses) have limited bandwidth or shelf-space and can accommodate only the most popular consumer desires.The digital revolution changed everything. An Internet store such as Amazon and Netflix has no constraint on the number of titles it can digitally stock. YouTube and Pandora have no physical limit on the channels or tracks they can store. The economics of scarcity has been superseded by the economics of abundance.These enabled niche product sellers to satisfy niche consumer demands. These niches, known as Long Tails, were previously un-served as they were uneconomic. The Long Tail of things (powered by 3D printing), education (Massive Open Online Courses), investment (crowdfunding), and skills (e-contracting) are well on their way. Each of them has the potential to create billion dollar markets for entrepreneurs.Only the innovator survivesWith these breathtaking opportunities on offer, I urge fellow Singaporeans to step up innovation in their work, careers and businesses. Collectively, we can transform from a nation of operators to a global epicentre for innovators and scale greater heights. We need to get ready for a world where accelerating change will forever render "business as usual" a thing of the past, and where imaginative and innovative capabilities will be the new competitive advantages.The past is owned by those who know. The present is controlled by those who think. The future belongs to those who can imagine. Can you?The writer is an entrepreneur, speaker, futures thinker, and innovation evangelist.
