Brother, sorry, busy lately. Just back fr JB after visiting wife brother in law who kena hit n run traffic accident, landed in hosp.

At current volatile market, AK buy n sell ds burger in short term, for sarabat teh tarek. Though still keeping few for tech shorting.

Ha ha, May CO future stands at 52.24USD n US last Thu surged up 8000 again. AK can't wait until it drops back to 1.77 low then consider. Times wait for no man lah.

Mon gonna be another exciting day liao. May see many smiling faces. Anyway, no calling.

.

The focus of the AR may differ for each Company....depending on the situation at that time and the investor's investment objectives. One should not just depend on the AR to track the Co. performance. We should also track the quarterly results and financially relevant announcements that the Co. makes from time to time. Also, one should keep tabs of the industry trends and outlook.

Personally, I read the Chairman's statement and pay particular attention to his statement on the 'outlook' for the Co. Operation Review is another section to pour through....to get a better understanding of the Co. business......try to pick out forward looking statements.....cos share prices react to what is going to happen rather than what has happened.

As for the financials, look at the Income statement, Balance sheet and Cashflow statements. The ARs will give more details on how the figures were derived than in the quarterly reports. 

For SPC, I suggest you also review the Q on Q performance for 2008. Reason being, whilst the overall 2008 result may look quite decent vis a vis its share price, its 3Q was breakeven and 4Q results were quite disasterous......losing something like -10c per share. Now, you must consider if this loss is a continuing trend or has it recovered from the debacle.

Good luck

AK,
