With such bad news out today (earnings down 55%), but SPC's price hardly moved...
It may be really the bottom now...
But it can also be that people are waiting for some good news then sell...

disasterous indeed....
third quarter '08 net profit down 99.5% .compared to third quarter '07 net profit of 98,115,000 , third quarter '08 net profit is 507,000.
now 4th quarter '08 also down so severely as well....
2 consecutive disasterous quarters already...
i m afraid this could be another cosco coming... from $8+++ to less than $1 ....
i was tempted to try this counter... but seeing this result,i think better stay at 1 side,see how it goes first...
wonder how mani more bad reports will start coming out since most will be reporting their profit/loss soon.....

Firstly, for those who got this one recently, dont panic unnessary...it is useless...ask yourself can this one go long...will this one in danger say these 2 years?? can it go under...i dont think it is..
Never mind you bought, just keep it...some time into the future, you look back and u be glad u bought at this px...2.xx...anyway, nobody can blame u...we really dont know the bottom..right now u may buy more cheaply if u got $...i like this one...not vested but very likely will have it soon..
But others kept mentioning about buying "good stocks" with good dividends etc. If you had bought last year thinking it is a good dividend stock but eventually see your capital being significantly reduced, is it any good?

Profit warning issued by SPC was rightly justified. 4Q08 results was quite disasterous.........These are some numbers extracted....
4Q 08 Net Profit recorded was $(-50)mil. .......or -9.7c per share.
4Q 08 Inventory writedown...... $(137.2) mil or -26.7c per share.
Offset by Derivative gains of $20.3 mil ....or 3.9 c per share.
It was reported that RM for 3Q was USD4.00/ bbl and for 2H was USD1.00/bbl.
By extrapolation, 4Q RM was USD -2.00 /bbl.....which means Co was output value was less than input value after refining.
4Q Downstream operating profit $(-81.1) mil.....or (-15.8)c per share.
4Q Upstream operating profit $13.7 mil ....or 2.7 c per share.......compared to 9 months opn profit of $142.3 mil or 27.7c per share.
