My experience in corporate life is that when a very large company swallows a smallish company, the smallish company seldom does well. This is because the revenues and profits of the smallish company pales in comparison to that of the large company. In other words, management is unlikely to focus on the smallish company unless there is something really special about it. Budget airlines are like commodity businesses with razor thin margins and I really don't see anything special about Tiger Air. As for oil rates, I think most airlines are rather shielded.... if the price of oil goes up, they just increase the fuel surcharges and vice versa. Hedging is only a short term strategy that is unlikely to result in any long term financial gain, assuming they hedged in the right direction. As the world economy struggles, I think airline stocks will also continue to struggle. , The Matthew Effect: "The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker." or "In an uptrend support holds, in a downtrend support breaks."

Local PMET with MBA unemployed for 3 years and looking at overseas opportunities26 Oct 2015 Hi Gilbert I am a born bred Singaporean. I am pretty well educated armed with a MBA from a top 5 business school. I have been unsuccessfully looking for a job for three years. I was able to attend numerous interviews because of my academic qualifications and 15 years of work experience. But was just unable to secure a decent offer. I have offers but for roles that require only 1-3 years experience and pays $3k per month. I know I have been discriminated against because of my nationality. Most are subtle but some are more obvious. I am extremely embarrassed that despite my qualifications and experience, I need to approach the MOM and WDA for assistance. But it had been six months and they had been unable to help. I am looking for jobs overseas, mostly in developed countries like UK, US and Australia. But it had been tough because of work permit issues. Employers also question my commitment to stay long term in the overseas country. What are possible next steps I can take now? Thank you Apple

Hi Bro Zuolun
Been busy lately, not following news. Thanks for the update.
Wa, so many retrenchment on the way... quite scary.
Think in Singapore, we have to be careful with our spending unless one is earning big bucks every month.

Ya, Bro Zuolun.. haha. So you got any uplifting news? at least i read then not so scare.... From my observations eversince I joined pertama forum past one over year, I strongly believe that many readers here have something-in-common like you, i.e. majority of them are not interested to read and digest the lengthy and super boring news updates to form their own views on the stock market. The only uplifting news / posting which interest them most is that, what's the best tips or hot stocks to trade to make some quick intraday profit. (That could be the main reason why the forum has been dead quiet without interesting postings except my news updates and charts postings; occasional postings from the forum owner oldman and intermittent postings from a few regular forumers.) Don't believe me? See the no. of quiet guests below. These are the 24/7 readers of pertama forum and they're also the regular gamblers, whom I've just mentioned.      |
