LMIR @ $0.51

Buy @ $0.51

Add to my collection. STI -47.92 @ 3243.43. Didn't follow my strategy to trade yesterday as got greedy when many of the stocks I'd bought rebounded. Have to be more disciplined! 😀

APTT @ $0.91

Buy @ $0.91

Newly listed Biz Trust @ $0.97, on 29-May 2pm. Was spun off from MIIF and was called TBC, with assets in Taiwan and in the biz of Pay TV mainly but also includes Broadband services. Yield = 8.011%, forecasted for FY13 (Dec) with DPU = 7.29ct (will be prorated from time of listing) ; DPU (FY14) = 8.25% or Yield = 9.066% @ $0.91. Altho' NAV = $0.924 (my own calculation) looks good as current prices is at a discount, it's mainly from IA (Intangible Asset) and is not very useful for me. No gearing figure was found in the IPO prospectus but should be in the high 30% (also not so meaningful for me as IA dominates). Perhaps, the Cash Flow statement is going to be the more useful analysis to determine their ability to pay the DPUs. Will have to keep an eye on the Finance Expenses which includes Interest (recurring expenses) and CAPEX (this is after all a hi CAPEX biz).

Altho' I'd usually avoid an IPO that goes below IPO price during the stabilising period (hi chance of dropping further if stabilisation ceases), I'd noticed that the total substantial shareholders' interest (those with >5%) is now ~34% vs 6.4% from IPO prospectus. They are Prudential (8.1425%), Morgan Stanley (11.0974%), Credit Suisse (7.6022%) & JP Morgan (7.15%). For MS & CS, it'd appear that those were held for their clients (collectively) and were from IPO subscription @ $0.97. For Prudential, the bulk (6.4%) was from IPO and the balance from open market @ $0.92. For JPM, they're the stabilising manager.

My current thinking is to tag on the above info I'd collated and perhaps ride on the coat-tails of the stabilising mgr (30-days tour of duty) for a short term trade. Let's see if they'll try to lift it towards IPO price of $0.97. Worst case, hold for the DPU ie. Yield. 😀

Vard @ $1.165

Sell @ $1.165

With the continued drop in STI @ 3291.08, -20.29 and Vard being strong @ +4.5ct, I have decided to change my strategy. Previously, I was planning to hold Vard for longer term as Q1 (Mar) had shown a strong indication that it's back on the upcycle after likely hitting bottom in Q4 (Dec). Now, with many stocks easily down -10% after dropping for close to 1 week, my current  plan is to switch from Vard (or other similarly strong counter) to some of the stocks which'd dropped a lot. Will focus on short term trades instead of longer term hold for now. 😀

KGT @ $1.07

Sell @ $1.07

Contra off. Wasn't really looking and was alerted by LS alerting me via whatapps that it was starting 5pm matching at $1.08 (I jumped Q by putting @ $1.06 as I was already thinking of selling even at $1.05). Looks like there's really a premium for a debt free company! 😀

NeraTel @ $0.63

Sell @ $0.63

Contra off, take profit first. Market remains weak with STI -24.64 @ 3311.37. Looks like the long overdued correction may be here. Will stay alert and focus on short term trades. 😀

Sabana @ $1.225

Buy @ $1.235, $1.215

Industrial REITs seems to be badly hit in this recent round of market fears. It's after all the first that'll be impacted in any economic slow-down. Yield almost 8%, can't resist to add to my holdings. 😀

KGT @ $1.04

Buy @ $1.04

Decided to add back some as I'd sold my recent ones. This one is debt free, should be better to weather any fears of interest rate hike better.. I hope… 😀

LMIR @ $0.52

Buy @ $0.52

One of the more badly hit REIT in the current sell-down. Perhaps Indonesia is now considered risky? I also see FirstREIT being badly hit. 😀

Vard @ $1.13

Sell @ $1.13

Sell to raise cash as the price had remained steady while others dropped a lot. Was planning to keep for longer term as their latest results is pointing to a turnaround. 😀

NeraTel @ $0.605

Buy @ $0.605

STI -38.61 @ 3367.45, fears appearing again, sometime from the afternoon. Read from Bloomberg that Europe was red due to fears of US interest rate going up or something like that. Market seems nervous lately as it'd gone up a lot since 2012. No idea if a major correction will come soon. Better not take any unnecessary risk. 😀
