January 28, 2012 by B
For some reasons, we humans like the adrenaline rush feeling running through our veins when it comes to entertainment, partying or investing.

Swimming with the bigger sharks

January 27, 2012 by Chong Jun
If the American market is the place where investors considered the deepest pool with the most ferocious sharks, then I’m glad to say that I’m still safe thus far.

Capitaland: Pushing higher on lower volume.

January 27, 2012 by AK71
Capitaland’s share price touched a high of $2.66 and closed at $2.65. Remember that I mentioned that in very bullish circumstances we could see $2.65 or even $2.75 tested? This is still valid. I did a partial divestment at $2.65 today. If the following week should see price pushing higher, I would be happy to [...]

Suspension of Pertama

January 27, 2012 by Martin Lee
Pertama is no more. Ok, I’m exaggerating it a little. Back in June 2011, Pertama had proposed a delisting of the shares (at $0.65 a share) as it saw no need to maintain a listing status. The cash flow of the business was good, and it had no plans for any capital raising. The free [...]

What 5 balls? There’s no balls – only you!

January 27, 2012 by Jared Seah
I know it meant well and putting things in simplistic terms is easier to comprehend. However, this is a classic western cut-and-slice “squeaky wheel gets the grease” way of problem solving. Place things in neat cookie-cutters and trouble-shoot! I prefer the oriental holistic way of looking at things. There are no balls. Only you. Instead [...]
