Yet again, and Malaysian manufactures are not able to take advantage of the weak Ringgit and Strong Dollar.
The main reason why the PMI is falling is because, the manufacturing sector does not have reasonable cost effective labour to expand.
What the latest PMI figures DO NOT tell you is that , the manufacturing sector is actually running at almost full capacity, and the labour MINISTER has conveniently WASHED his hands, leaving PM Najib to solve this problem.
Read below, the latest news on the PMI:
The Nikkei Malaysia Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, or PMI, fell to 47.2 in October from September's 48.6, marking the lowest reading since June.
A reading above 50 indicates economic expansion, while one below 50 points to a contraction. The latest figure shows Malaysia's manufacturing sector to be in contraction territory for 19 consecutive months.
Amy Brownbill, economist at IHS Markit, which compiles the survey, said that the deterioration in operating condition "was driven by falls in both output and new orders, with the latter declining at the sharpest rate since November 2015."

And it looks like Low Taek Jho's family are singing the same song. But where ever you are, be IT in Kuala Lumpur or New York, if You break the LAW, the LAW will BREAK you.
Below is the latest update from BLOOMBERG:
Relatives of the financier accused by U.S. prosecutors of playing a central role in siphoning more than $3.5 billion from Malaysia’s state investment fund are fighting attempts to seize assets acquired with misappropriated funds.
Four family members of Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, have initiated claims for properties the U.S. said he bought with money from the 1MDB fund, including a $100-million interest in EMI Music Publishing Group, a $35 million Bombardier jet, and a $200-million stake in the Park Lane Hotel in New York.
The family members, including Low’s brother and father, say they are beneficiaries of the family-owned trust that controls the assets and were forced to file claims themselves because the Swiss trustees have refused to take any action in the forfeiture lawsuits, according to filings Monday in Los Angeles federal court.

Country Garden, China’s third-largest home builder by sales, is speeding up its expansion in Malaysia and Indonesia within its core strategy of building mega projects across Southeast Asia, to reduce domestic risk.
The developer has signed another new project in Malaysia and its first on the Indonesian island of Bali, according to company statements.
In October, it formed a joint venture with Damansara Realty to build a 21-hectare integrated township known as Central Park in Tampoi, a suburb near downtown Johor Bahru on the southern tip of Malaysia.
“Central Park will target local Singaporean and Malaysian buyers and provide affordable quality housing,” the statement said.
The venture, 30 per cent owned by local partner Damansara, and 70 per cent by Country Garden, will pay 130.3 million ringgit for the 53 acres site, and the project will be developed over six to eight years, starting in the fourth quarter of 2016, Damansara said.
Central Park becomes Country Garden’s fourth project in Malaysia, after Danga Bay and Forest City in Johor, and Diamond City in the capital, Kuala Lumpur.

Inside Hong Kong’s posh American Club, few worked a room quite like Avery Stone.
Over steak dinners and cigars, Stone charmed a Who’s Who of financiers into investing millions in his fledgling business. Then, earlier this year, everything unraveled--and he vanished.
Left behind are the questions, including the big one: How did Stone and his partners at Global Merchant Funding Ltd. apparently dupe Hong Kong’s princes of finance into believing their business was on solid-footing? Accountants are still trying to piece together the answers.
"This isn’t a deal that went bad, these guys systematically preyed off their friends,” said Thomas Gallagher, one of GMF’s investors, who had set up Citigroup Inc.’s fixed-income prime brokerage in Asia and now works for a hedge fund services firm. “The fact of the matter is, these guys essentially were in our circle.”
For many, the money in question -- $32.5 million, a pittance by Wall Street standards -- is far less astounding than whose money it is.
Documents related to the liquidation of Stone’s company show that many of its investors were drawn from prominent international banks. For them, weighing financial risks is crucial to their day-to-day jobs. In this case, they didn’t see the danger until it was too late.
Creditors List
Among those on a list of more than 80 creditors seen by Bloomberg News are Morgan Stanley’s co-chief executive officer for Asia excluding Japan, Gokul Laroia; Martin Wong, now chief integrity officer at a U.S. software startup for online lenders and previously chief administrative officer and general counsel for the Asia-Pacific region at Citigroup; and Peter Tattersall, chief operating officer for fixed-income sales in Asia with Morgan Stanley, a role that involves responsibility for auditing and for implementing regulations.
Others include Daniel Turner, a managing director for equities trading at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where he has stock purchasing authority at the bank ranked No. 1 for equities trading market share in Asia last year; and Dermot Mayes, Nomura Holdings Inc.’s former head of fixed income and syndicate who is now chairman and CEO of Riviera Asia, which advises Asians investing in real estate in the south of France. All of them directly or through a spokesman declined to comment.
Hong Kong police began investigating GMF after the company’s liquidator, accounting firm JLA Asia, reported in April that it suspected the three directors -- Stone, Richard Grainger and Simon Zoen -- may have misappropriated some of the money owed to the investors. None of the three replied to telephone calls, registered letters or e-mails.
Oil prices could go under $40 a barrel, if the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) production cut agreement doesn't get worked out, according to one expert.
The group will likely get its planned production deal done, but Helima Croft, global head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, said the agreement won't be finalized until the last minute.
"I think they'll get it done, but I think they'll get it done right before November 30," Croft said on CNBC's "Power Lunch" on Monday.

Most Asian stocks struggled higher on Monday but investors were rattled by news that the FBI is planning to review more emails related to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's private server, just a week before the election.
European markets also looked set for a shaky start, with financial spreadbetter CMC Markets expecting Britain's FTSE 100, France's CAC 40 and Germany's DAX <.GDAXI to all open down 0.1 percent.
Federal investigators have secured a warrant to examine newly discovered emails, a source familiar with the matter said on Sunday.
Clinton had opened a recent lead over her unpredictable Republican rival Donald Trump in national polls, but it had been narrowing even before the email controversy resurfaced. An ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Sunday showed Clinton with a statistically insignificant 1-point national lead.

The growing list of OPEC members seeking exemptions from a planned supply cut has investors seeing future price drops.

The deal was reached in Algiers on Sept. 28 and sent futures climbing. But internal disagreements over how to implement the cuts prevented an accord to secure the cooperation of other major suppliers this weekend in Vienna.
Because if you read most online news and blog news outlets, we MUST be the HOME of terrorists and are an intolerant nation.
The experts though, say Malaysia comes out SECOND in the UNIVERSE when it comes to gender equity, and we are actually a very tolerant society, as long as you willing to work for it .

Nor must we have trade agreements with foreign countries. Because if we sign trade agreements or have a foreign policy, then our leaders are SELLING OUT OUR COUNTRY.
This is what happened when we signed the Trans Pacific Trade Agreement with the USA.
And now that PM Najib is in CHINA, the same set of accusation is on the AIR. It's a SELL OUT.
So how do we, sustain Malaysia's role as AMONG the top 20 trading NATIONS in the UNIVERSE?
I don't know, but maybe Tony PUA and CNBC can advise Malaysia how NOT to talk directly with your TRADING PARTNERS and BOOST trade.

The Malay Mail Reports, Women have a lesser chance of increasing their pay over time, the Khazanah Research Institute (KRI) found in its latest study on socio-economic mobility in Malaysia.
According to the study, which compared adult Malaysians' socio-economic stature to that of their parents when the latter were younger, women find it harder to move up the income structure than men.
“Women are less upwardly mobile than men. Policies focusing on removing gender barriers and encouraging higher female participation in the labour market should be continued,” said the report titled “Climbing the Ladder: Socio-Economic in Malaysia”

According to a Reuters survey of economists, GDP probably increased at a 2.5 percent rate in the third quarter, quickening from the second-quarter's tepid 1.4 percent pace.
But advance data on Wednesday showing the goods trade deficit falling 5.2 percent to $56.1 billion in September amid strong exports suggested that third-quarter GDP growth could exceed expectations.
What this means is that the US ECONOMY could HAVE grown by as MUCH as THREE per cent in the THIRD Quarter, its sTrongest growth in TWO years

Average oil prices are at their lowest since 2004, but this is by far the biggest year for equity issuance by U.S. E&P companies .
Early in 2016, as oil crashed below $30 a barrel and the E&P industry stared into the abyss, there was a flurry of equity issues to help shore up creaking balance sheets.
Almost 40 percent of this year’s stock sales happened in that fraught first quarter which was also the best time to buy new E&P stock.
The rally in oil prices since then has lifted the entire sector, and some of those discount sales have notched up huge gains.
In general, though, if you bought the stock sold during that fraught first quarter, you have notched the biggest gains as the sector has since rallied along with oil prices.
But with oil prices mostly moving sideways since June, buyers of most of the latest issues could be waiting a while for big payoffs of their own

In late 2007 and early 2008, with markets in a meltdown and the health of British banks under relentless scrutiny, the Bank of England belatedly pumped money into the financial system.

At issue is whether officials nudged, steered or ordered -- take your pick -- financial firms to act in unison, ensuring that no single bank looked more desperate for assistance than its peers.

According to Sepang CEO Datuk Ahmad Razlan Ahmad Razali, sales for the grand prix reached only 60 percent recently, in contrast to the MotoGP event, which is expecting a sell-out for this weekend's round of the championship.
Local media reported Razlan as saying the TV viewership for this year's Malaysian Grand Prix was the "lowest in history".
The circuit has a contract to host the grand prix until 2018, but a meeting between Sepang's shareholders and the ministry of finance will be held this week to decide the event's future.
Razlan said Formula 1 was no longer an exciting sport and that the country should re-consider the future of the grand prix.
With after tax profit down by three per cent to RM143.5 million from the same period a year ago.
While the average trading value fell 6.1 per cent to RM1.85 billion a day in the first nine months of same year.
The government's fresh RM 3 billion injection into the capital markets should help the bourse, as well as the RM75 million for research and analysis of small cap stocks.
While the government can only do so much, it's time the regulators find ways to LEGALISE market making, instead of lumping all market making activities as SYNDICATE.
That should be the new name for Icapital.Biz Bhd, the fund manager company, which told Bursa Malaysia today that it's holding about RM299 million in cash.
Revenue for the first quarter was under RM5 million, while pre tax profit came in below RM2.5 million.
There has been a lot of pressure for Icapital to use the money to invest in the market. The management has been reluctant thus far.
Fair ENOUGH, but please don't give us SHIT explaination like BELOW, to justify your POINT of View.
How Your share price performs is NOT an Indicator that YOUR call to hold on to the CASH is correct, it could well be as THE MARKET knows, the FUND managers from London buying up ICapital shares, so that they can eventually close down Icapital.Biz
A Chinese security camera maker said its products were used to launch a cyber-attack that severed internet access for millions of users, highlighting the threat posed by the global proliferation of connected devices.
The attackers hijacked CCTV cameras made by Hangzhou Xiongmai Technology Co. using malware known as Mirai, the company said in an e-mailed statement. While Xiongmai didn’t say how many of its products had been infiltrated, all cameras made before September 2015 were potentially vulnerable.
The attack, which took down sites including Twitter, Spotify and CNN for long stretches, underscored how hackers can marshal an increasing number of online gadgets, collectively known as the Internet of Things, to disrupt the internet on an unprecedented scale.
“Mirai is a huge disaster for the Internet of Things. XM have to admit that our products also suffered from hacker’s break-in and illegal use," Xiongmai said in its e-mail.
Millions of internet users lost access to some of the world’s most popular websites on Friday after hackers hammered servers along the U.S. East Coast with phony traffic until they crashed, then moved westward.
The attackers hit Dyn Inc., a provider of Domain Name System services. Agencies including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are investigating the outage but the perpetrators remain unknown.
Xiongmai said products made before September 2015 were vulnerable because they ran on older firmware, or software hard-wired into devices.
The company urged users to update their firmware and change their default usernames and passwords.
Security professionals have anticipated an increase in attacks from malware that target connected gadgets.
In Friday’s instance, hackers launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack using tens of millions of malware-infected devices connected to the internet, according to Kyle York, Dyn’s chief strategy officer.
And respected by Friend and Foe, as the Japan Times reports THAT a group of former U.S. diplomats held closed-door talks at the weekend in KUALA LUMPUR with senior Pyongyang officials to BROKER peace.

In a NUTSHELL, that's what the PM did, with the RM4,000 allocation for those in the lower income to get a new car and become UBER drivers.
UBER Drivers here make any where between RM3000 and RM10,000 a month, and the PM is rightfully AWARE that you must start from the BOTTOM to build a HOUSE.

While in Baghdad, Iraq has refused to BREAK BREAD with OPEC on output cuts.

Stocks futures across Asia pointed to a mixed open ahead of a busy week for earnings reports in Japan, China and the U.S.
The euro was near its lowest since March while the dollar extended gains against the pound and the yen.
Equity-index contracts in Hong Kong declined with those in Australia, while Japan was little changed and futures in South Korea rose in most recent trading.
The pound and the yen both retreated 0.1 percent against the dollar. Oil held above $50 a barrel as Iraq, OPEC’s second-largest producer, balked at joining efforts to trim output to prop up prices.
A busy calendar for earnings this week will see Apple Inc. and Caterpillar Inc. in the U.S., and Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd. release results, with more than 350 companies on Japan’s Topix index scheduled to give quarterly updates.
Data is due on Japanese trade, along with inflation releases in Singapore and Vietnam, as well as the latest visitor figures for Macau, the gambling hub.

OPEC’s second-largest producer threw an obstacle in the group’s path toward a final deal to stabilize oil markets when Iraq balked at joining efforts to trim output to prop up crude prices.
Iraq should be exempted from cutting production because it’s embroiled in a war with Islamic militants, Oil Minister Jabber Al-Luaibi said Sunday at a news conference in Baghdad.
The country currently produces more than 4.7 million barrels a day it pumped in September, and Iraq’s output could rise higher still as the government urges international companies to boost production at its fields, he said
The flood of Chinese money into the city before the mainland’s National Day celebrations in early October has slowed to a trickle since traders returned from the week-long break.
Investors in Shanghai spent more than $8 billion on Hong Kong shares in September, the biggest monthly inflow through the exchange link since it began in 2014.
Net buying this month has been just 7 percent of that amount, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
The narrowing valuation discount on the city’s dual-listed shares and concern about the Federal Reserve’s impending rate increase may have spurred mainland investors to turn off the taps, according to Hong Kong analysts.

They say, actions speaks louder than words, and our actions show, it's not us who ARE running out of MONEY.
Our immediate neighbours, Singapore has US$1.76 TRILLION worth of debts as at November 2015, which comes up to about 408 PER CENT of GDP, making them the most indebted nation in the PLANET based on Debt To GDP ratio.

Our country's external debt to GDP is at 63 per cent, which is one of the lowest among the top trading nations.
From the Huffington Post To Oil price.com, countries are being asked to emulate the Malaysian model, but ordinary Malaysians seems oblivious to this.
WHY? Because NURUL IZZAH and TONY PUA didn't TELL them SO.
With China Securities Regulatory Commission investigating six companies over alleged wrongdoings related to initial public offerings and disclosures.
In August, Bursa Malaysia was made into a LAUGHING stock when the China based Maxwell International Bhd said that their revenue was ZERO while losses came up to more than RM30 million.
Longbao Ginseng & Antler Co., which is applying for a listing, is among the companies, the CSRC said in a statement posted on its official Weibo account.
The five other companies, which have already gone public, are Guangdong Guangzhou Daily Media Co., Ingenious Ene-Carbon New Materials Co., Infotmic Co., P2P Financial Information Service Co. and Shenzhen Ecobeauty Co.
Might find its cure in Malaysia, so says OILPRICE. COM.
The oil market is currently valued at US$1.7 TRILLION and as such, has the unique power to build or break nations.
Often referred to as the oil curse, many countries, such as Venezuela, Algeria and others, depend almost entirely on oil and gas income to sustain their economies, have seen their economies in DIRE STRAITS.
As such OILPRICE.COM suggest that African & South American oil rich nations can learn a thing or two from MALAYSIA by adopting a DUAL-track development strategy that pursues a strong manufacturing sector alongside natural resource exports.

Over the past ten months, it's major shareholders have been buying the shares for THEMSELVES.
Ever since Damian Development Bhd's major shareholders started BUYING the shares for THEMSELVES, the company has stopped buying back it's own shares.
Damian now owns some TWO million of its own shares, while the major shareholder owns more than 104 million shares or some 49 per cent of the company.
Damian was last traded at RM2.39, with some over enthusiastic investors branding RM18, while the more sane investors are targeting a MONEY in THE BAG, RM4 a share target .

With hardly any innovation, and nothing to contribute to the world.
The Budget 2017, is such a joke, that the people who we sent to parliament to REPRESENT our INTEREST, were busy sitting outside of the Parliament.
This COUNTRY is 3rd largest market for start-ups in the WORLD, and WE are leading a quiet REVOLUTION, that even most Malaysian don't know, that to the OUTSIDE world WE ARE a REAL big BOY and out national budget is taken seriously across Europe and the US.
The PM is correct, this is the age of the digital economy. Malaysia’s successes is on the BRINK of breaking its cloak of invisibility.
The world has TAKEN notice but when will Joe Malaysia stand up and notice that he actually has got one heck of a BACKYARD.
Here is a SNAPSHOT of the BEST we GOT in the digital platform :
1)123RF
Founded by serial entrepreneur, Andy Sitt, 123RF, the flagship of the Inmagine Group is the fourth largest royalty-free digital media library in the world with 60 million stock images, audio clips, video footage and illustration and sales presence in 40+ countries. More than 70% of its sales are from the US and Europe.
2) Grab
Founded in Malaysia, but now based in Singapore, Grab is often described as the startup unicorn of Southeast Asia. Grab was co-founded by Anthony Tan and Hooi Ling Tan who were motivated to enhance the safety of Malaysia’s substandard taxi industry. What began as a taxi booking app company quickly grew into a multi-service transportation provider.
Today, Grab is used by one in nine smartphone users in Southeast Asia, present in six countries and 30 cities in the region, and offers the most number of transport services which span private cars, carpools and even motorbikes.
3)Fusionex

5) HappyFresh
HappyFresh is Southeast Asia’s leading hyperlocal food-tech company, enabling consumers to shop from their favourite grocery retailers via mobile and web platforms; using technology to enable delivery within one hour, even in traffic-congested cities such as Jakarta, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.
Has been the theme for those who say that we should not take Budget 2017 seriously .
"I am right, You are Wrong", Edward de Bono's masterpiece on lateral thinking is being used literally to bash Malaysia into the doomed economic club.
Does Malaysia have problems? You can bet on it, but are they terminal problems, or as financial experts say problems that occurs DUE to NORMAL course of Business
Let's let the numbers do they talking, BECAUSE numbers CANNOT lie, they only state what is FACTUAL.
According to IMF, the World has US$152 trillion worth of debt, and this is the main reason why nations economies are due for slower growth.
The US is the most indebted nation with some US$19 trillion worth of debt, which is about 114 per cent of its GDP.
How about Malaysia, then . Well as at March 15 2015, We have about US$230 billion worth of external debt, which comes out to about 63 per cent of GDP.
Our immediate neighbours, Singapore has US$1.76 TRILLION worth of debts as at November 2015, which comes up to about 408 PER CENT of GDP.
At this level, based on Debt to GDP ratio, SIngspore is ACTUALLY, the most INDEBTED nation in the WORLD.
Malaysia is one of few leading trading nations whoes debt to GDP ratio is still in Double Digits.
So Tell me, who is RUNNING out of MONEY? Certainly not MALAYSIA, you might find the anwser on the OTHER side of the ROAD.
Next year ends in a 7. If you’re superstitious or a little loose with statistics, that makes us due for another financial crisis.
The biggest one-day stock drop in Wall Street history happened in 1987. The Asian crisis was in 1997.
And the worst global meltdown since the Great Depression got rolling in 2007 with the failure of mortgage lenders Northern Rock in the U.K. and New Century Financial in the U.S.
This is the best policy that came out of the 2017 budget.
Malaysia will be the first country to give a rebate for the purchase of a new car specifically to become a driver for ride-sharing services.
PM, Najib said anyone who qualifies for the BR1M cash aid, will also be given the opportunity to buy a new car with a RM4,000 rebate for the express purpose of becoming a driver for ride-sharing services.
The offer is limited only to the Proton Iriz model.
The government should open the rebate for all types of cars, as many Proton driving UBER riders, have privately complained, that the cancellation of rides, for those using Proton cars, by consumers is amongst the highest in the industry.
Apparently, Malaysians prefer to sit inside foreign made cars
APPLE says it has been buying Apple chargers and cables labeled as genuine on Amazon.com and has found nearly 90 percent of them to be counterfeit.
The revelation comes in a federal lawsuit filed by Apple against a New Jersey company on Monday over what Apple says are counterfeit products that were sold on Amazon.
In the lawsuit, Apple says Mobile Star imprinted Apple logos on cables and chargers that "pose a significant risk of overheating, fire, and electrical shock." It says the chargers and cables were being sold on Amazon as genuine Apple products.
That's what one US dollar will fetch you today against the Ringgit.

With Malaysian stocks on the brink of their longest stretch of annual losses ever, one money manager is buying amid bets valuations and signs of shifting overseas sentiment will spur a rebound.
Gan Eng Peng of Affin Hwang Asset Management Bhd says earnings are stabilising after sinking to the lowest since 2011, while an undervalued ringgit may prompt foreigners to consider buying again. Overseas brokers he spoke to have signalled unusual interest in Malaysia, says Mr Gan, who took "big positions" in three of the largest stocks including Sime Darby Bhd and CIMB Group Holdings Bhd. The move comes in a market clouded by weak profits and a scandal linked to a state fund.
"After nine quarters of earnings disappointment, we could be reaching the end of the downgrade cycle," said Mr Gan, equities head of Kuala Lumpur-based Affin Hwang, whose Select Opportunity Fund beat 97 per cent of peers with an 11 per cent return in the past year.
"Foreign funds are on the hunt for ideas in Malaysia. The strong outperformance of Indonesia, political issues in Thailand and Philippines, could drive some re-balancing of monies into Malaysia."
As DEAD. Ng Ah Chai made a mandatory general offer for Meico at 90 sen a share.
The stock now trades at RM1.03, though volume so far is not convincing enough, for Meico to retest the RM1.40 level now.
That could however change in December though, if the dollar keeps firm, and the spring cleaning takes place as planned.
I like Meico, but this no contra stock...as Meico's real potential might only be realised in 2017.
SYF Resources should be a good proxy if one feels Meico is to expensive in absolute terms, because in Ng Ah Chai, both firms boast the same common dominant shareholder.
In TEARS, the experts say, hence the market should not eat too much into the crude oil price rally cake.

Don't read too much into the small rise of jobless claims, as they were due to partly because of natural disasters.
A deeper look at the jobless numbers, will show you why, this DOLLAR BULL, has some massive testosterone's to PLAY with.
Jobless filings have been below 300,000 for 85 straight weeks -- the longest streak since 1970 and a level typical for a healthy labour market.
That'46 years and counting. So the Ringgit might take a step or two forward due to rising oil prices, but after the ECSTASY dies DOWN, the Dollar Bull is going to play the sweet chin music.
That should be sweet music for Malaysian Exporters, who are finally going to get a solution tomorrow on their foreign labour shortage
Inheritance tax in Malaysia , that was abolished in 1991.

For the 29th-straight session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.22% has closed below its 50-day moving average, but has yet to fall enough to even touch its 200-day moving average on an intraday basis.
That marks the longest stretch the Dow has wavered below its 50-day MA but above its 200-day MA since the 29-day stretch ending in November 1989.
During the current streak, the Dow has closed below its 50-day MA, which currently extends to about 18,330, since Sept. 9, 2016.
During that time, the closest the intraday low came to the 200-day MA was Oct. 13, when the low of 17,959.95 was more than 300 points above the 200-day MA at 17,640 at the time.
Since the 50-day MA has been falling by about 7 points a day, and the 200-day MA has been rising by about 5 points, the Dow will need to close Thursday up over 120 points, or fall at least 541 points intraday, to break the streak.
The construction of U.S. single-family housing surged in September, though a drop in apartment building pushed overall home building activity to an 18 month low.
But Wednesday's report from the U.S. Commerce Department also showed building permits jumping last month, suggesting overall residential construction may rise again in the fourth quarter.
In its Beige Book report also published on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve struck an upbeat note on the housing market, saying residential real estate activity expanded in most districts in recent weeks.
Most Asian index futures signaled gains with oil near a 15-month high and the dollar nursing further losses. Mexico’s peso traded around its strongest level in six weeks before the final U.S. presidential debate.

Futures on indexes in Seoul, Hong Kong and Shanghai advanced, however, with the S&P 500 Index capping its steepest back-to-back climb in three weeks on Wednesday

But some investors are starting to worry the market could be due for another huge sell-off -- just like the infamous Black Monday crash that happened exactly 29 years ago.
October 19, 1987.
In anticipation of this not exactly significant milestone, some traders have started to circulate a stock chart that appears to show eerie parallels to 1987.
If you look at it quickly, it's more frightening than any creepy clowns that may be wandering around your neighborhood this Halloween.
The chart simply traces the current performance of the S&P 500 over the 1987 chart. It doesn't take into account percentage moves
