August 30, 2010 by Musicwhiz
GRP released their FY 2010 results on August 20, 2010 (the company has a June 30 year-end). Suffice to say that there were no major surprises; either negative or positive, but the prevailing sentiment from me is that the Company can do more to either increase their dividend or to reinvest the cash which is [...]

Old people don’t need life insurance?

August 19, 2010 by La Papillion
I was browsing through some of the blogs when I saw Mr Tan’s post on insurance. It’s his usual style to advice people to buy term and invest the rest. But that doesn’t attract me – it’s this line: “There is no need for people to have life insurance when they are old.” By ‘life [...]

Partially divested First Ship Lease Trust(FSLT) into Pacific Shipping Trust(PST) on 29 June 2010 I can count myself ‘unlucky’ that FSLT had 2 of its ships returned prematurely and took a big hit to its total outstanding contractual revenue and just blame this on the ‘business’ risk. But looking further into the business to understand [...]

Divestment of FSL Trust

August 11, 2010 by Musicwhiz
I guess this was an action which should have been taken some time back, but trust me to allow inertia and false hope to dull my thought processes, rationality and objectivity; thus causing me to delay my decision to completely divest First Ship Lease Trust (“FSL Trust”). For the record, I have completely divested my [...]

August 9, 2010 by Alvin
CityIndex I just closed my Forex CFD trading account with them. What I like about them is the withdrawal procedure.
