Talk about outperforming the market

Whats up with COSCO CORP?

Seriously, what is UP with them? From a low of 1.19 on 12 Mar 2010, it grew to 1.81 today (more than 50% increase in value). Can someone tell me whats going on over there in China? Are they going to give out massive dividends? Tell me cause i am too busy to investigate....

STI Breaks 3000!

In less than a year, STI grew from a mere 1791.45 to over 3000 today. That's approximately a 67% increase! If you have entered the market last Apr throwing your money into the various reliable STI counters(eg Keppel, Sembcorp, OCBC, etc), you would probably have made at least 30% profit. Ok you can say that hindsight is always 20/20, but if you have at least stay invested during the tough times, putting money in bit by bit since Nov 2008 (like me), you would at least make enough profit to cover your losses during the meltdown (like me again, heh).

That said, some counters never see the light after the meltdown so invest with care!

Hope this is the last round.......

Given the controversies and flaming resulting from the FRFM saga, as an EX-VSC*, I felt a need to comment on this incident. Though most of the comments in the various blogs and websites are constructive and not directed at anyone, I am saddened by certain posts that are purely speculative, extreme and written with the purpose of putting the involved individuals down. These comments really take us back a few years in terms of the evolution of climbing. I am often uncomfortable when i hear people make sweeping statements about controversial topics (climbing or non-climbing). What's with the confidence? Why are you so sure if it is right or wrong? Is everything so black and white? If someone did something that you think is wrong, why are you so fast to judge and take that person down with all that negative energy? These people should just chill and focus on their own messed up life and how to make it better.
