7738ok, Do look at NOL but must long caused after share placement (usual when counter asked for monies mkt don't like but time to buy) with lesser debt helps in earnings and also freight increases also help. This is not a 2.10 share in next 6-mths should easily go beyond 3.00 not foresee any adverse circumstances |

I guess NOL is paying off their huge debts through this opportune time of higher freight. In other words their offer price was " priced in ' . After greater correction in early 04, it would be a better time to load. Just mu one cent worth. |

STI - The bulls and the bears are engaged in a ferocious battle. 
To the uninitiated this may seem like nothing. However, to many people this is a matter of making or breaking it. . . 
So far the bears had gained a bit of an upper hand but then the bulls had also tried to show that they are no weakling. . . 
There is nothing much we could do other than to sit tight and watch. . . unless you are one of those who got a couple of millions to throw around

WASHINGTON:The US economy's blistering pace of growth in the third quarter is unlikely to continue, but most analysts see solid if not spectacular growth into 2004.
The sizzling 7.2 percent pace in third-quarter gross domestic product may be a one-time event, economists say, but momentum should carry into the fourth quarter and well into 2004. Advertisement A Wall Street Journal survey of 53 economists showed, on average, a prediction of four percent growth in the fourth quarter of 2003 and 4.1 percent growth in the first quarter of 2004. That pace, the survey found, is likely to hold at roughly 3.9 percent for the remainder of 2004. David Rosenberg, chief North American economist at Merrill Lynch, said the economy will get another dose of stimulus in early 2004 as more tax cuts kick in, with other factors providing tailwinds. "Come on -- it's an election year," he said. "And these have an uncanny ability to outperform non-election years by around 1.5 percent in terms of GDP growth." He noted that tax refunds will provide the equivalent of a wage boost of 2,500 dollars per family. "And we'll likely get a pre-Y2K-style capex (capital expenditure) spree" as a result of business investment tax breaks. "All told, about half of next year's expected four percent GDP growth comes out of government stimulus measures," he said. Ethan Harris at Lehman Brothers said business spending is coming to the rescue of the economy as consumer spending begins to fade. "Coming out of the war in Iraq, there was a lot of concern that there would be a 'dropping of the baton' in the economy, with the consumer running out of gas before the business sector was up and running," Harris said. "It now appears that a smooth transition is taking place. ... The recovery looks increasingly balanced and sustainable." In one sign of renewed confidence, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment index rose to 93.5 in November from 89.6 in late October. Consumer sentiment is watched closely as a gauge of consumer spending, which represents about two-thirds of US economic activity. "Even though consumer (spending) is softening a little bit, consumers feel better about the future because job growth is picking up," he said. "Things can really get better on the spending side if confidence remains relatively strong." Meanwhile, Federal Reserve officials have been increasing hints that they are in no rush to boost interest rates, in a move to ease concerns in financial markets that a rate hike could hurt business and consumer sentiment and crimp growth. Some Fed members have suggested that the "potential" US growth rate -- the pace of sustainable growth without sparking inflation -- could be as high as 4.5 percent, instead of the 3.5 percent benchmark used historically. Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank President Anthony Santomero told a Fed forum in Washington that the US economy is gathering steam but that the job market is still lagging. "The recovery, tenuous at first, has finally begun to gain momentum," he said. "Third-quarter GDP was stronger than expected." Santomero said the Fed must look ahead to avert renewed inflationary pressures but noted that this was not a problem at present. "In light of significant excess capacity and benign inflation pressures, any policy adjustment need not take place in the near future," he said. The comments came as bond market investors have pushed up interest rates in anticipation of a tightening by the Fed as early as March 2004. But Robert DiClemente at Smith Barney said the Fed will be on hold until it is clear the economy is on a sustainable path. "The Fed's message to markets may continue to be 'get back' until they are satisfied that growth is not only self-feeding but that demand is sufficiently solid to root out any last remaining risk of deflation," he said. - AFP |

STI index component stocks doing well
OCBC ------- OCBC’s Third Quarter 2003 Net Profit Increased 62% to S$292 million Net profit for first nine months rose 36% to S$676 million Singapore, 14 November 2003 – Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (“OCBC Bank”) today reported that its third quarter 2003 net profit rose by 62% to S$292 million, compared to S$181 million in third quarter 2002. The improved performance was driven by a reduction in provisions from S$75 million to S$37 million, higher contribution from associates and an exceptional net gain of S$72 million from the divestment of shares in Fraser and Neave, Limited (“F&N”) through a selective capital reduction by F&N. Operating profit before provisions and goodwill amortisation in the third quarter of 2003 was S$375 million, an increase of 10% over the same period last year, underpinned by the F&N gain. Net interest income fell 8% due to lower interest margins, while fee and commission income rose 1%. Operating expenses rose 5% from a year ago due mainly to higher staff costs. Fraser and Neave ----------------- In view of the strong earnings achieved, the Directors propose, subject to shareholders' approval at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 29 January 2004, a final dividend of 30 cents per share of $1, being AFTER deduction of tax, to be paid on 19 February 2004. Taken with the special dividend of 5 cents and interim dividend of 15 cents this will give an enhanced total distribution for the year of 50 cents per share after tax (last year: 35 cents per share after tax) Venture -------- The Group achieved record revenue and profit after tax for the financial quarter ended 30 September 2003. Revenue grew 36% to S$921 million through strong growth in computer peripherals and storage, test and measurement and printing and imaging products. Profit after tax grew 39% to S$65.8 million through lower cost structure, better efficiency and higher productivity. For the nine months ended 30 September 2003, revenue grew 45% to S$2.3 billion from S$1.6 billion and profit after tax grew 36% to S$166.8 million from S$122.4 million. The growth is attributable to improved market share and expanded customer base, contributions from the high-mix businesses and higher value-added activities Asia Pacific Breweries Ltd -------------------- The Directors are pleased to report a strong performance for the year under review, despite uncertain economic conditions especially in the first half of the year and the impact of SARS during the second half of the year. Group revenue grew 15% to $1.3 billion. In addition to sales growth in regional markets, Singapore's revenue was boosted by the full year effect of taking over the sales and distribution of stout. Group profit before interest, taxation and exceptional items ("PBIT") for the year increased by 26% to just over $177 million. Attributable net profit before exceptional items increased by 11% to reach a record $93.6 million |

I think those companies that have business in China will do exceptionally well. Just back from meeting in Beijing & Shanghai, these cities are full of activities, undergoing structural changes now. In terms of financial services, they are doing huge consolidation and centralization with Shanghai as their primary data centers and Beijing as backup. The IT companies there are extremely strong and huge. Technology wise, they are at least on par with us so can not "bull sh.t" them if u think u want to. Consumers are spending like nobody business, (they have forgetten SARS already). |
