Hey czerny , care to share with us which counters you're vested in. Maybe we all can learn something from you. 
Btw, it always easy for a 'bysider' to make noises on other ppls counters while own counters are all underwater.

Today .... Uni closed unchanged @ 26.5 why? bcos it didn't go up very much for the past week and vol also light. If 26.5 break then 25 here it comes but that won't happen not bcos of invisible hand but no people playing lah! I think all the BB in this counter passing here n there only. How come invisible hand come in only at 26.5 and not at 34.5? I think at that level there was invisible hammer! DMG wrote a whole bunch of crap (70+ pg) on this counter and none of it came true to date. Better dun read dan read n believe n cheong in n pay for it. For $20k maybe better to try 1lot of Keppel Corp, 10 lots of Enggro, 40lots of China Ssine or ... What for wait for trees to grow, plant to build and ... 2010? Market can last so long meh?? Bet on winners. Dump the losers. |

0703 GMT [Dow Jones] Straits Asia Resources (AJ1.SG) drops as much as 20% to 3-month low of S$1.07 before retracing to S$1.15 (14.2% decline) on heavy volume as investors spooked by disruption to firm''s Sebuku coal operation in South Kalimantan due to extended wet season. Company says "Force Majeure" beginning July 30 will affect its obligations to deliver coal to customers. Analyst at foreign bank says while company unlikely to meet this year''s coal output of 3.7 million tons, it may still benefit from disruption; "the lower output will certainly result in lower earnings for this year. But it also means less supply for the region, which translates to higher coal prices in the medium term. So, it''s good for its 2008 contract prices because it''s in negotiations right now with customers." Support at S$1 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement between 52-week high of S$1.68, low of S$0.585). (FKH) Raining season is bad for coal but good for trees. Next year, USF trees will grow faster , thicker and taller. 
"PT Hutan Rindang Banua ("PT HRB"), a wholly owned Indonesian subsidiary of the Group, holds a forest concession right of 268,585 hectares in South Kalimantan, Indonesia." |

Today despite all the bloodshed on the streets, Unifiber closed unchange @0.265cts. Invisible hands at work. 
Maybe their 2 shareholders hedge funds are behind it , to protect their own investments ????

Haha!! First you said UFS lacked the connection in Indonesia and may have problem getting all the necessary govt approval & license to build the pulps mill. I've proof you wrong .
Now you asked why didn't UFS seal the takeover with PT KK ?? Unifiber 'would have' sealed the PT KK deal if not for Prabowo's brother Hashim. who came into the picture at the last minute. During that time, Bank Mandiri was chasing after Prabowo to settle PT KK outstanding debts of US$200 millions. Suddenly, Hashim came into the picture to help out his elder brother , Prabowo. Hashim made his billions $$$ from the sale of this oil assets (Nations Energy) in Kazakhstan for US$1.91 billion (?1.5 billion) to China company CNOOC. He later came back to Indonesia to bailout his brother with his extra cash. Between good friend and own flesh & blood brother, you think you will listen to who?

888max, I am sold on the fact sheets and arguments that you have put up, plus the background search that I have done. I am sure this counter is solid, its just the timing. I am back in. Lets hope the half year results are good. It has gone from a recent high of S$0.305 to a low (today) of S$0.27, ie. a bargain at a 11.5% discount from the high.
On the other hand we cannot discount the argument that czerny puts up. Very interesting counter to attract so many intelligent arguments. Worth the gamble. |

Haha Hehe u have given us so much facts and u still miss the point leh! No doubt No 13 richest man is mentioned BUT he help to buy KK thus preventing Uni from buying at cheap sale price. So if lauw is close friend of owners of KK how come he didn't seal the deal? So much for being a friend and I am not so sure they are one big happy family. I still think that the guys in Uni will get ripped off when everything falls apart in due time of course! | ||||

Jim Rogers may be right but he is definitely not talking about Uni. Why? Bcos the situation in Indon is very different from USA and even China. Indon is so different that they attract very little FDI from the rest of the world. So in order to do business with them you have to partner a lot of people ie President, Vice President, Minister, and maybe the whole parliament dan u can build your pulp plant. Think about it. This is definitely long term business. | ||||

Hi investment, what the point ?? 
As you can see from the postings, many investors here don't have the patience to wait till year 2010 for the pulps mill to complete.

United Fiber System Ltd, a Singapore-based forestry company, said a hedge fund affiliate of Morgan Stanley has agreed to buy US$200m of bonds and warrants, which will help the company build a pulp mill first planned in 2002. United Fiber on July13 also agreed to sell US$25m of bonds convertible into shares to the hedge fund, Hong Kong-based Abax Global Capital Ltd. After the securities are converted into shares, Abax Global will own 4.4% of United Fiber, the company said. Morgan Stanley owns a minority stake in Abax. The proceeds may help United Fiber build the US$1bn pulp mill in the Indonesian part of Borneo by 2010, eight years after it was planned. United Fiber had to delay constructing the plant because of a government move to cancel the company's right to use forest area for timber, and lack of funding. The Supreme Court stopped the government from cancelling the right in 2005. United Fiber expects the construction to start by the end of the year. China National Machinery & Equipment Import & Export Corp, which is building the plant, will fund 80% of the mill. The pulp mill, which will be run by United Fiber's subsidiary PT Marga Buana Bumi Mulia, will have a capacity to produce 600,000 tonnes of bleached hardwood kraft pulp annually. United Fiber will sell the pulp produced in the Kalimantan mill to CellMark AB, the world's biggest pulp trading company, and China National Machinery. About 10% of the production will be sold in Indonesia. United Fiber and Abax are negotiating the terms of the bonds and warrants, the two companies said in a statement on July13. Lazard Asia Ltd is advising United Fiber. |

With more lands allocated for palm oil plantations plus China soaring demand for timbers , very soon pulps price will shoot to the roof.  Timber shortage fuels panic buying DIY enthusiasts hoping to repair storm-ravaged garden fences have been urged not to panic buy, as the UK's timber shortage leaves many unable to find affordable fencing panels. Gardeners desperate to repair their fences have been rushing to snap up timber fencing panels, spurred on by a shortage of timber and the prospect of further price rises in the near future. Poor harvesting conditions in Russia, Scandinavia and the Baltics, as well as soaring demand in China and Dubai, have resulted in a major supply shortage, with sawmills having to pay significantly more for timber and many DIY stores in the UK running out of stock. However, many gardeners have been so determined to repair fences damaged by storms earlier this year that they are prepared to travel further afield and pay premium prices for panels. The Fencing Contractors Association (FCA) is recommending that consumers postpone their repair plans and has warned the public not to "panic the prices up". Wendy Baker, chief executive of the FCA, said that DIY enthusiasts had been exacerbating the situation by panic buying. "It's a bit like a bread shortage," she told the Daily Mail. "Joe Public goes out and buys loads." There are, however, signs of improvement on the horizon, as suppliers in Germany, Canada and Latvia are reportedly set to reduce the shortfall in the UK market. |
