The year in review

2017 is turning to an end and even the least sentimental among us tend to look back and see what happened and where they are with their professional goals, their careers, and personal life. This was a busy year at Phillip Capital and as we look forward to 2018 we thought is time to recap the history so far.

Dear Friends,

Two weeks ago I became a mother of four. I had returned a favor of a friend to look after her two children over the weekend.  The children were very close in age (4, 6, 7, 7+, respectively); and for the most part they played with each other and were quite self-contained. They did not disturb the adults very much except when they were hungry or when a fight broke out. When the latter happened, there would first be some screaming/screeching, and then the sound of footsteps closing in on me.

来自总裁林美娟的一封信

亲爱的朋友们，

想象一下，一个早熟的五岁小女孩贪婪的盯着自己手中的奇巧巧克力，等着一口吃掉它。一个成年的家庭的朋友走过来问小女孩是否愿意与他分享奇巧巧克力时，她快速地思考后，撅着嘴说道：“如果我不得不与你分享的话，那我就没有了啊。”男人说“好吧。”然后还没等到小女孩眨眼的功夫，一把抢过奇巧巧克力塞到自己的嘴里。

小女孩得到了她想要的，但事实并非真的如此。

NYMEX WTI Crude futures front month contract has traded in a $15-16 range (low 39.19 / high 55.24) since May of 2016. The bulk of the volume/value occurred between $44 - $54 per barrel range. In September, OPEC announced extended cuts to production. Leading into this meeting the markets bought the rumor and after trading to just under $53 per barrel in late September the market squeezed weak longs and touched just above $49 and swiftly bounced. CL has not looked back since, breaking highs not seen since 2015 this month.
