Diesel cars

March 14, 2012 by I
not a investment post but just something I noticed staying in the UK. More than 60% of all passenger cars here are diesel engined, especially newer cars (2001 and newer). Diesel has many pros over petrol especially in a metro driving setting; it has more low end torque (more power at lower revs) and is [...]

Moved all my OA funds to SA

November 11, 2011 by I
Moved all my OA monies I received whilst working previously to my SA. Reason being I won’t be buying a HDB flat with it in the foreseeable future (at least the next 5-8 years) and the difference in interest rates would mean quite a difference in the compounding effect…

Divested Mapletree Industrial

September 9, 2011 by I
Queued and sold MIT at $1.195 today, giving about a 25% profit after accounting for dividends. Sold as it’s approaching resistance at 1.20 and I’m betting that the downside risk is much more than the upside potential at current prices. Hence, decided to take profit off the table. At $1.20 MIT’s yield is at 6%, [...]

With little room for sharp depreciation inthe US$, we are hanging on to hopes of earnings surprises, which we believe [...]

UK Pound Sterling against Singapore Dollar

September 7, 2011 by I
Period of extreme volatility in the forex markets too. Pound Sterling and Euro have declined precipitously against the Singapore Dollar as I write this. Pound to 1.929 and Euro to 1.69. The former is a historical low (yet again), the latter is not too far away from it’s historical low at 1.55-ish. Swiss National Bank [...]

Banknotes & what I spent with my dividends

August 31, 2011 by I
Had an interesting discussion on banknotes today. Went to raffles place today to change some money, some for myself and some for a family member. In Europe, the 2 major currencies ( Euro + Pound) only issue relatively high value banknotes (i.e. starting from EUR5/GBP5) whereas in America, Brazil, China, Singapore, HK, Malaysia etc issue [...]

Singapore Technologies Engineering- Bucking the trend

August 22, 2011 by I
the most recent selldown over the past few days has spared my biggest holding: ST Engineering. It bucked the trend the last few trading days to close higher. Now, ST Engineering is currently at “value zone” between 13,21 day EMA. Elder said, buy fear and sell normalcy during a bear market. ST Engineering is currently [...]
