| Genting Singapore up on broker’s raise |
Tags: Genting Singapore | Genting Singapore Plc | WRITTEN BY THOMSON REUTERS | | MONDAY, 27 SEPTEMBER 2010 10:40 | Shares of casino operator Genting Singapore <GENS.SI> rose as much as 2.5% on Monday after a foreign brokerage raised its target price for the firm by 35% to $2.60.
At 10:24 a.m., shares of Genting Singapore were trading at $2.02 and around 33 million shares had changed hands.
“There was a ‘buy’ call by Deutsche Bank and they raised their target price, so investors may be reacting to that,” said a local trader, adding that he saw resistance around $2.09 or $2.10. Deutsche has raised its 2011 estimates for Singapore’s gaming market size to US$6 billion ($7.9 billion), up 28% from the current run rate, and said it remains positive on the city-state’s long-term gaming prospects.
The bank also increased its net profit forecast for Genting Singapore’s 2011-2012 financial years by 34-42%, adding that its 2011 forecast is 15% above consensus. |

How Do You React When Your Stocks Are DownSubmitted By: Christopher Smith | Word Count: 1046 | Views: 134

When trading large and small caps and dealing with the market, losses are inevitable on occasion. It may be a bitter pill for many to swallow but for those who are pros to the game it is a pill that should be expected along the way.
Many people point to Warren Buffett as an example of how well the 'buy and hold' method of investing works over the long term. So while it is easy to hear those words and accept them as a reasonable investment strategy, its another thing all together to actually act on when your stock has dropped 20% during a single trading session.
Anyone has suffered through the woes of a bear market knows that it is quite difficult to stick to your initial investment strategy when all around you people are jumping ship and liquidating assets. This is an investment strategy that requires discipline along with nerves of steel. Fears of depression often have investors heading for the hills and using logic that is at best faulty and at worst financially devastating.
If you have done your due diligence on your investment before you bought, then you should be able to weather the storm over the long term. As a matter of fact, the drop may provide the perfect opportunity to add to your position. Its important to remember that the buy and hold strategy works best with large cap stocks.
In these situations, perfectly stable companies may begin selling for fractions of their actual value for the interim-this by no means indicates that these companies will not fully recover and prove to be a perfectly solid investment. Below you will find three fundamental truths that should help weather your short-term market losses and stand fast when others are running for higher ground.
Its More Than Just A Sheet Of Paper
What you hold in your portfolio is a part of a company. Unlike day traders who buy and sell over the short term, hoping to make money by playing the up and down movement of the share price, long term investors are looking to own a piece of a company; to share in the story of the company. What your shares represent is a piece of everything the company owns. From pens to buildings, you own a portion of it.
In order to be truly successful as in investor you must do two things. First, you must not let emotion rule reason. Business and emotions are never a good combination. This is no different when it comes to investments in the stock market. Second, you must be able to evaluate the business and the potential of that business completely separately from the price of the stock. Remember that even the best company in the world is a lousy investment if you pay too much for the privilege.
Focus On The Big Picture
Are you trading large and small caps with the big picture in mind? If you look at any chart over the long term, you can easily identify areas where a company has dipped, only to trade much higher a few months later. In most businesses, there are seasonal changes that affect the share price. If you are trading large and small caps with the big picture in mind, then you can easily identify this as an opportunity to add to your portfolio. When the company releases news, how will it impact the company? Plenty of companies have for example, sought financing by issuing shares. Typically, this involves providing the buyer with the shares at a discount to the current market price. Not surprisingly, the share price drops to that amount. This is usually where the traders bail (hitting their stop losses on the way down). However, if the company is a solid one, that is going to use the money for expansion, acquisition or debt repayment, the market will reward investors over the long haul. If you sold based on one days trading actions, you would be out of a position, just when the company is poised to move higher.
Whether your are trading large and small caps for the short term or long term, the following tips should help to improve your returns:
Consider buying after a major correction. Markets go up and markets go down. Over time, they always go in an upward direction. Often corrections will provide excellent buying opportunities because of the "herd mentality". This often creates an oversold situation, which is perfect for buying! Just ensure that you are buying a strong company.
Remember there is money to be made going long, just as there is money to be made going short. Just know the trend before you decide which way to go.
Never buy a stock just because it has a low price. A low price and a great stock makes for a good selection. A low price on it's own does not. There is normally a reason why a stock is at the price it is at. If you want to gamble, go to Las Vegas.
The biggest mistake stock market investor make is to make the current situation fit the one they bought the stock in. I've seen countless swing traders buy a stock based on the movements of the 15 minute charts, only to say well, the daily chart looks good. If the share price of your company is down, you need to reassess what is happening now. Based on the current due diligence, is this just a temporary move down, or is this part of a larger change in the trend of the share price.
There is plenty of money to be made investing in the stock market, however you will make more money if you invest without emotion, and assess the current situation to identify if the party is over, or if you have been presented with an amazing opportunity. Buy and hold does not mean buy now and look at your positions in 10 years. It means investing in solid companies, and assessing along the way. Sometimes, things change, and you have to be willing to accept the change. The successful investor can easily identify if the share price is down for a bad reason, or is down to present them with a perfect opportunity to add more shares.

Credit card shOck
Customer applied for one but received four
Letter from Mervyn Sek
ABOUT a month ago, I received a telephone call from my bank inviting me to receive the Ikea friends Visa credit card because I am an existing credit card holder.
Since I patronise Ikea occasionally, I accepted the invitation.
Subsequently, a courier delivered an application form for me to sign, as an official endorsement of my application.
Days and weeks passed and I wondered why it took so long for the credit card to be sent to me.
I then received a package in the mail that contained not one, not two but four different credit cards issued by the bank.
I was so flabbergasted to receive so many credit cards that I called the bank to check if it had made a mistake.
The hotline staff assured me that there was no mistake and that each card entitled me to a different set of benefits.
I saw it as a ridiculous and desperate attempt at getting me to maximise my credit limit and chalk up a credit card debt with the bank and so I insisted to the hotline staff that all four cards be cancelled immediately.
I am sure others will receive a call from a credit card company one day, inviting them to receive a credit card.
I would like to advise them to assess very carefully whether they really need another credit card from the same bank.
When in doubt, they should ask themselves this question: Does my wallet have any space for me to squeeze in additional credit cards?

#### Raffles 21 ####
This is just one of the 80 suggestions by the Censorship Review Committee
05:55 AM Sep 16, 2010
SINGAPORE - The majority of the public may not approve of R21 films being shown in HDB town cinemas, but the Censorship Review Committee nonetheless recommended yesterday that such films be allowed in the heartlands, with restrictions on screening times and advertising.
The recommendation exemplifies the CRC's views on allowing "informed adult choice"; it also encourages debate between industry and community. CRC chairman Goh Yew Lin said a heartlands ban would simply drive people to download such films.
A public outcry in 1991, when the Film Classification System was introduced, has kept R21 films to the city area, and they are also not allowed on video and subscription television.
CRC's nationwide survey found 60 per cent of the public still do not want R21 films in housing estates, but only 42 per cent and 39 per cent were against R21 content on pay-TV and R21 videos, respectively.
The results show an inconsistency in views, said Mr Goh.
"If the product is available in one part of town ... and it's going to be available on Internet TV, which will be coming through your television screen before long, there should be no philosophical reason not to allow distribution through other channels," he said.
This was among 80 proposals by the CRC, which spent nearly a year reviewing policies and frameworks. The 17-member committee, which included Films Consultative Panel chairman Vijay Chandran and Singapore Repertory Theatre artistic director Gaurav Kripalani, met 21 times and conducted nine focus groups.
Their conclusion: Industry players, regulators and the community need to collaborate in content regulation to protect children, with "a mindset change involving greater trust and responsibility".
Said Mr Goh: "The pace of change in new media is beginning to outpace our ability to cope from a regulatory perspective."
"We need to move away from the prevailing reliance on Government as guardian and focus on the education and empowerment of parents to make appropriate and informed choices."
To reach its long-term goals, the CRC has set out more immediate milestones.
To empower parents, the committee suggested replacing the 100-website ban with a filtering service, offered by Internet Service Providers and, hopefully, subsidised by the Government. Mr Goh said people wrongly assumed the ban was adequate protection against unsavoury websites.
The CRC also suggested harmonising and simplifying rating systems, where appropriate, so even laymen can understand.
Among its recommendations to encourage industry to co- or self-regulate, the CRC suggested allowing the video industry to more efficiently self-classify videos up to a PG-13 rating, as a large volume of G and PG-rated content is submitted annually for classification.
However, for the stakeholders to work together, there must be greater accountability and transparency in censorship decisions, believed the CRC.
It proposed identifying any agency that has advised the Media Development Authority on a censorship decision, for instance.
Singapore Internet Research Centre director Ang Peng Hwa lauded some recommendations, such as for the public to nominate advisory committee members and to harmonise ratings across platforms "provided they are the same content".
But he had reservations on others. The CRC 2003 member said, "Public education is expensive. In Europe, there's some rethinking here. It may be cheaper and more efficient to simply regulate."
Professor Ang pointed to little demand for parental lock systems for the Internet and TV: "I don't think we should try what has failed elsewhere unless we have good reason to believe our situation is different."
To the CRC's suggestion of a regulatory framework that can be applied to any new media, he said new media forms should be allowed to develop first, as laws applied prematurely could become obsolete.
While housewife Athena D'Souza, 48, was against having R21 content in the heartlands, "where there are more impressionable children" whose parents are often not home, a Cathay Cineplexes spokeswoman said it would "welcome the opportunity", as it offers more consumer choice and convenience.
Cathay would be careful to implement measures for time-belting and advertising, "regardless of the location we're operating from", she stressed.
She said the PG-13 suggestion would also be "helpful" to allow more audiences to watch a film that may otherwise be rated NC16.
The Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts has received the CRC 2010 report and is expected to respond within a month. The report and feedback submitted can be found at www.crc2009.sg.
