STI closed down to 3176 points by the end of November 2013. It was a lacklustre month for the S'pore market despite Dow hitting new highs. Low volume and lack of direction had been the characteristics of the local market this month. The Thai demonstration towards the end of the month had further dampened interest in the market.
For this month, I have attended the following AGMs/EGMs/briefings - Southern Packaging, Jason Marine, F&N, Sunright, Sinopipe, Vicplas, Khong Guan, Mermaid, CSE Global, Xpress and TTJ.
For my top 30 holdings, except for Old Chang Kee, no major movements as it had been a quiet month in terms of corporate actions and news flow.
I have bought the following companies from the market this month - Azeus, BBR Holdings, Chemical Industries, Chip Eng Seng, ComfortDelgro, Dutech, Eastern Holdings, GK Goh, Hanwell, Haw Par, Hwa Hong, Isetan, KSH, Lantrovision, LC Developments, LHT, Lian ......
