28 September 2007

Update of stock portfolio at month end. STI had a good run over the last few days. Today it took little halt as we approach the quarter ending. S-shares ran wild this afternoon, apparently due to the following reason as reported by Merrill Lynch:

SGX listed China Stocks are running riot today - many of them rising by more than 10% - and here's the main reason why from Merrill Lynch:Yesterday, a 3rd QDII fund was approved. What was significant was that Jiashi Fund Management Co is the first QDII to be allowed to invest in Chinese companies (defined as having at least 50% of its revenues from China) listed on the SGX and in the US.

We saw what happened to the HK market when it was announced that QDII funds could invest in HK. The index is already up 32% from the sub-prime crisis lows even before a single QDII dollar has been invested. Real money of US$48bn is expected to flow in for 2008.

If 10% flows into the S shares, this translates to 12% of the US$40bn S-share market. The S shares have been underperforming even the STI, much less its H share peers.

Whilst the STI has hit a new high yesterday, the broad market has lagged. We feel that the time is now ripe for the S shares to perform.

Our picks are (taking into account size, liquidity, market leadership, valuation):Yangzijiang (YSJ), Cosco (COS ), Synear Foods (SYNF ), Midas (MIDAS), China Hongxing (CHHS), Yanlord (YLLG), China XLX (CXLX), China Energy (CEGY), China Sky (CSCF), Celestial (CENU), Sino Tech fibre (SINOT), Hongguo (HGUO), Beauty China (BCH).

Compulsory Acquisition of PanU Marine

My PanU Marine shares were deleted from the CDP account on 14.9.2007 (didn't notice it as I don't check CDP account regularly). The cheque for the shares comes today.

This is the first time one of my shares got "compulsorily" acquired. Sad to lose this counter as it gave me good dividend over the past years. Happy because these shares were spin off from Pan United Limited and my cost was 0 (zero).

Share portfolio cross 500K mark

Last night, US Fed cut interest rate 50 pct. pt. Today, Nikkei soared over 579 points and Hang Seng jumped 978 points at the closing (over 1000points at certain point of time)! STI rose 116.61 at 5:00pm.

Portfolio rose with the market and cross 500K point for the first time.
