I am guy lah, in my 30s. Used to be computer engineer, and then after 6 years got sick of it, switch to being a MOE teacher. And then after 3 years I knew I can never retire comfortably by the time I am 45 with a teacher's pay, so I picked up trading. The rest is history.

Singapore’s retail sales excluding motor vehicles rose at the
fastest pace in three months, a sign that consumer spending is holding
up even as easing demand for the nation’s drugs and electronics hurt
growth last quarter.
The index measuring purchases excluding automobiles climbed 6.2% from a
year earlier in August, after gaining 6% in July, the Statistics
Department said today. Including vehicles, which are sold subject to
government caps, total retail sales fell 1.2 percent, less than the
median forecast for a 5.3% decline in a Bloomberg News survey of 8
economists.
Singapore’s services industry is still expanding even after
weakening overseas demand for manufactured goods caused the economy to
contract last quarter. The city state added more than 61,000 jobs from
January to June while tourists are flocking to new attractions including
two casino resorts run by Genting Singapore Plc and Las Vegas Sands
Corp.
“Record inflows of tourists into Singapore during August kept the
cash registers busy in the shopping centers,” Alvin Liew, a
Singapore-based economist at Standard Chartered Plc, said before the
report. “Excluding car sales, the retail outlook continues to look
healthy on strong employment and wage growth.”
Adjusted for seasonal factors, overall retail sales rose 2.2% from July, today’s report showed.
Singapore controls pollution and congestion on its roads by selling
limited permits for each automobile category, and the quotas may
distort sales figures because motor vehicles are the biggest component
of the retail index, accounting for a third of the gauge.

Play the plantation laggard
Not all the news leading to the upswing in plantation stocks is good. In fact, in a report published today by CLSA titled Greed and Fear, analyst Christopher Wood blames the current inflationary trend in commodity prices on talk of quantitative easing in the West and the currency wars.
“It is quite possible that current conditions lead to a repeat of the commodity price-driven phony inflation scare world markets last experienced in 2007 and early 2008,” Wood writes.
“Remember how the fashionable concern then was about how Asia was about to be blown up by an epidemic of food inflation. These concerns peaked, ironically, just as the US housing market and related securitisation markets began to implode,” he reminds us. “Any repeat of such a scare will likely lead to the same conclusion as before. That is to an overshoot in commodity prices driven by financial investors in commodity indices and related ‘ETPs’, and a resulting violent sell-off. That sell-off will again likely be characterised by a violent rally in the US dollar as the carry trades are liquidated,” he warns.
Instead of wringing one’s hands, Kim Eng Research says one way to play the West’s quantitative easing game is to bet on the laggard in the plantation sector, the local broker suggests in a note dated October 15.
In general, commodity prices have been rising, which Kim Eng attributes to ‘improving global economic performance’ that has fuelled demand for hard and soft commodities. More specifically, CPO (crude palm oil) prices rose sharply over a supply shortfall, primarily in Malaysia, due to a weak harvest, Kim Eng adds. The broker also notes Wilmar Internationalgot a boost today after it became apparent billionaire and substantial shareholder Peter Lim’s bid for Liverpool FC was going to fail.
So, who’s the slowcoach in the climb? “An analysis of the three‐month share price performance indicates that First Resources is the biggest laggard in this rally,” says Kim Eng. First Resources is one of the purest plantation plays in the sub‐sector and it stands to reason that it would be among the biggest direct beneficiaries of higher CPO prices,” the report explains. In terms of PERs, First Resources at 13.5 times current PER and 11.7 times forward PERs has the lowest ratios. Golden Agri Resources has the lowest price to book valuation at 1.1 times and Kencana Agri the highest EPS growth of 60%. However, it also has the highest current PER at 40 times.
Bullish on SGX
Singapore Exchange is scheduled to announce its 1Q11 results on Monday, October 18 before market opens. Daiwa Securities is forecasting a revenue increase of just 2.8% year-on-year, to $178.2 million, and a decline in net profit of 8.2% y-o-y to $86.4 million due to higher technology expense and depreciation. But further on, Daiwa is bullish. “We believe the pipeline of pending initial public offerings (IPOs) will boost trading activity. The total amount raised for 2010 is projected to exceed $8 billion,” it states in a report out today. Hence, it is raising its six-month target price to $10.60 from $8.94. This valuation takes into account a forecast average daily turnover of $2.3 billion for FY11 which includes the impact from the trading of ADRs (American Depository Receipts) in Singapore. Daiwa has an outperform rating for SGX. The counter last traded at $10.12, up 21.5% year-to-date.
Chart View
At the moment, the STI (3,204) is facing upward pressures. However, short-term indicators are beginning to fatigue and the 3,200 level may pose a psychological resistance. Any retreat would be temporary and find support at 3,120. An earlier break above 2,900 gave a measuring objective of 3,400 and this still stands. — Goola Warden

Oct 15, 2010 - PropertyGuru.com.sg

Singapore’s
economy has recorded an unprecedented decline of 19.8 percent quarter-on-quarter, the worst quarterly drop since 1975, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
This is a record sequential contraction and worse than the “free-fall” in GDP suffered in the recent US financial crisis, the collapse during the dot.com bust and the doldrum during the Asian financial crisis, said DBS Bank.
Overall
industrial production declined due to sharp pullbacks in production from the pharmaceutical segment. “And the exceptionally high comparison base in 1H10 further amplifies the drop. That is, it’s drug effects plus technical payback!”
SAD!!!! Never bought any today!!!
