I needed a new laptop bag. My old messenger bag is now 4 years old, dirty and torn. I have quite a fair bit of gadgets I bring around everyday so I guess it's time to get myself a backpack instead. Going shopping at Amazon.com, there are plenty of laptop backpacks available. Most of them are black in color and looks like something my dad would use. I wanted something different, something that

This is a property directory for the Vietnam market and the plan is for it to be free for use by all brokers. Property brokers are able to create a profile for themselves and post all their available properties for sale or for rent. We have

Las Vegas Sands LVS has always been one of the best gaming stock for me. They have divested out of the Vegas Strip and have now captured the second largest market share in Macau, behind only SJM Holdings. On top of that, I believe the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore is destine to do very well. This is exactly the reason why I'm taking an unusual risk yesterday. As many of you would probably have

Damn SingNet connection has been giving me big problems recently. Lost my internet connection back at home and apparently SingNet couldn't find out what's the problem. I'll only be able to update on our portfolio once they got it resolved. Meanwhile, it seems like we have been pretty lucky for the past week. If you have been following my trades, we would have taken profit on MGM Resorts

Quiksilver Inc Quiksilver Inc is an apparel company that designs, produces and distributes clothing, accessories and related products for young-minded people. One of my favourite brands around for all my beach wears. The company stock has taken some beating from the recent high in late April, dropping from US$6.09 to as low as US$3.37.

MGM Resort International Wow wow what a day Friday was! The gaming stocks rallied yet again. This time round coming from the good news of the Nevada revenue growth. Naturally, MGM with their number of businesses in the Las Vegas Strip had the best response to it, rallying to close at US$12.67. The after market trading push this stock further up to US$13.56! I've got to be honest here though,

A quick summary of things, this morning Hang Seng Index has touched 23,000 points. Such a whole number is usually a strong resistance level and true enough the index ended slightly lower at 22,880 points today. Dow Jones Industrial has also almost touched the 11,000 strong resistance mark. As written in my previous post on indices I think the market might be due for some retracement. Of

We're at the point of time now which I feel the market has probably gone up a little too much and is due for a slight retracement. Let's take a close look at both the Dow Jones Industrial and Hang Seng Index to have a better feel of things to come.

NYSE : MGM Resort International Inc It's a real pity we cut stop MGM the last round when it drop. As I said before, I'm very bullish about the gaming industry and it is for all to see that LVS, SJM and Genting went up alot in the recent months. MGM is one of the most heavily shorted counters in NYSE. Although MGM's performance is nowhere near the rest, I strongly believe it's at a very

Was chatting with an old time friend today about some of the counters he's been looking at. Thing is, he's more into long term investing while I'm more into short-term trading. Anyhow, it's always nice to be able to learn more about any good counters. The past 1-2 weeks have been the weeks for Genting Hong Kong Limited. The share price have rocketed from $0.31 to $0.51 and volume have been

It's been a while since anything worth blogging is happening in the market. I've some points to note down for recap and a brief outlook on next week. Some time around the 3rd week of August, there were some little concerns about the market doing a double dip. I actually wrote a point about the US market probably not going to drop by too much. You may read about the analysis here. The US

With regards to my MGM Resort International post earlier, yesterday night it seems MGM have dropped to our cut loss target price. You may have sold of your MGM yesterday night near market close at $9.14. Unfortunately this was one trade which didn't turn out good. I'm still keen in looking to enter this counter at another better entry point. As of now, Dow Jones Industrial has closed below the

The number of people filing first-time claims for unemployment benefits fell for the first time in four weeks, down 31,000 to 473,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Despite the decline claims are still at an elevated level that reflects the weakened state of the U.S economy. First-time filings for the latest week are higher by 4% compared to the start of 2010 and by nearly 11% since

What a day. The global market tanked today to the trendlines support levels which I mentioned in the previous post on major indices. Tomorrow will seem like a crucial day. Should the trendlines fail to hold, we'll need to cut losses of the previous positions we took and prepare for the worse. A quick recap: Hang Seng Index Closed at 20,659.

Ezra Ezra has been one of the few oil and gas company that I've like monitoring. Judging from their 3rd quarter financial statement, they seem to be pretty stable. I'm also giving them extra points for having JVs with Keppel Corp. The share have taken some beating in the past few months dropping from about $2.50 to the current level of around $1.80.

MGM Resorts International Inc MGM Resorts International Inc has just recently posted their second quarter results which was bad. The company lost $883 million, or $2 a share. However, this was due mainly to various charges, which if removed, the company would have lost just 35 cents a share. This information was published from MarketWatch. Base on this, I felt that the company's share is still
