Our Finance Minster "Tharman" said that We are not yet in recovery mode. The recovery for the next two years will be slower than previous recoveries and we cannot rule out setback from time to time. |

You are right... A lot of them had already unloaded at the peak... Now it's left for those who waited on the retracement for the next wave up, but doesn't look very possible now...  |

Will be surprise that golden agri is one of the STI component stock. But does golden agri really a BLUE chips.... Maybe volume play a big part for its selection. I feel that not all STI component stock are blue chip. There are many good & solid company like Venture Corp that should be considered as blue chip. I think emm maybe there should be some changes to the selection criteria (my point of view). |

If not wrong i thk one of the criteria for being chosen to be blue chip is there must be a certain volume play for that stock. N that the reason why some good stock like Venture Corp was also kick out of it due to lower volume play. Btw correct me if i am wrong.

hi timewatch There are many people who classify differently in term of what are
called blue chips. However, some of the chips are certainly beyond doubt or
otherwise known as the Bluest of the blues like Singtel, FNN,
Kepcorp, Capitaland , DBS, UOB, Sembcorp, etc. just to name a few. One schoole of thought is to consider all 30 index components as Blue, this is also found from Tan Kin Lian (ex NTUC chief) Blog. However do take note STI component is revised three-monthly and it will
change. If such is the criteria then Kepland , which was 'kick-out' of
Index recently become not classified as Blue whereas Cosco and Olam
which are still inside STI component, become blue. Also new entries
like Comfort Delgrobecome blue. I think each blue chips has its different behavior since there are each in different business and thus subject to different business cycle. it is important for us to choose them as part of our strategy according to our need such as defensive play , dividend play, high beta play etc,

HK Market Report July 8 (Bloomberg) – Hong Kong stocks dropped, dragging the Hang Seng Index to a two-week low, as lower oil and metal prices dragged commodity stocks lower. Chinese property and banking shares declined on concern the government will restrict lending for real estate investment. Jiangxi Copper Co., China’s biggest producer of the metal, slipped 1.9 percent, while PetroChina Co., the nation’s largest oil producer, lost 2.3 percent. China Construction Bank Corp., the nation’s No. 2 lender, dropped 0.9 percent. Shimao Property Holdings Ltd., controlled by billionaire Xu Rongmao, sank 2.9 percent. “We’ve seen a massive rally with very little correction. People got carried away and are just beginning to be a little bit realistic,” said Khiem Do, head of multiasset strategy at Baring Asset Management (Asia) Ltd. in Hong Kong, which oversees $7 billion. “This correction is going to be short as earnings of Asian companies are resilient.” The Hang Seng Index lost 0.8 percent to 17,721.07 at the close, bringing losses in the past three days to 2.7 percent. The gauge fell to its lowest level since June 23. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which tracks so-called H shares of Chinese companies, dropped 1 percent to 10,573.71. The benchmark Hang Seng Index has soared 56 percent from a more than four-month low reached on March 9 on speculation government stimulus efforts worldwide will revive the global economy. Companies on the index are trading at an average 15.7 times estimated earnings, up from 10.8 times at the beginning of this year.

SINGAPORE (AP) – Las Vegas Sands Chairman Sheldon Adelson said the opening of the company’s $5.5 billion Singapore casino and resort will be delayed until early next year because of problems sourcing construction materials. The Marina Bay Sands, one of two casinos being built in Singapore, is now expected to open in January or February, Adelson said Wednesday, instead of December as the company predicted earlier this year. “We can’t control the flow of sand to make concrete, the availability of steel or the availability of labor,” he said at a news conference in Singapore. The Singapore casino was one of the few projects Sands continued to work on after the company was hit with a massive cash crunch, caused by the credit crisis and tumbling revenues at its Las Vegas properties. Its funding crisis forced it to suspend work on a Macau project last November and lay off as many as 11,000 workers. Adelson declined to say if the company was cutting its revenue forecast for the Marina Bay Sands because of the weak global economy. Singapore, facing its worst recession in decades, is hoping the casino will revive a tourism industry that’s been hit by the global economic meltdown. He said the company’s Venetian and Palazzo casinos in Las Vegas, where it last week laid off 194 workers, have had better-than-expected business so far this summer but didn’t provide figures. “Our results in June were significantly higher than what we expected,” Adelson said. “Our projections for the summer, while slower than previous summers, are also somewhat ahead, and we’re adjusting our internal forecasts almost every week.” Las Vegas Sands also owns the Sands Macau, Venetian Macau and Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem in Pennsylvania. |
