Have you sold off all your MIT already ?
If you have the holding power, you can actually hold to get the dividend. There's a promise of 7% dividend by MapleTree.

NOW I REMEMBERED WHAT HAPPENED! i came out of meeting at 1405! so i quickly log into poems to watch. then when i went to the live price page, i got a shock cause nothing was moving. so i refresh and refresh and refresh. thinking my comp hang or something.
then suddenly i saw the MIT start jumping. then i typed 1.16 buy. but by the time i finish typing, it was 1.19, so i bought at 1.19 and withdraw my 1.16. then i sat there thinking why after so many refresh then the price started jumping. then i went to see my order transactions. order filled at 1403. then i realised my company clock was FAST!!! and i wasted precious time refreshing the stupid poems thinking my comp hang. after that incident i always look at clock before i transact.

Hot commodities and resources to look at
1) crude oil
2) palm oil
3) soy beans
4) cotton
5) natural gas
6) coal
7) gold
8) silver
Gold futures on the COMEX Division of the New York Mercantile Exchange carried bullish sentiment into Tuesday, hiking 0.5 percent to 1,410.1 U.S. dollars per ounce, as the concerns over EU sovereign debt has intensified. Silver also extended the 30-year record to a fresh high.
The most active gold contract for December delivery jumped 6.9 dollars, or 0.5 percent, to finish at a record high settlement of 1,410.1 dollars per ounce.
In the previous trading, the gold price topped the psychological mark 1,400 dollars and the market has witnessed four consecutive hikes, or a cumulative gain of 5.6 percent, since the Fed announced its second round of quantitative easing policy (QE2) on Nov. 3.
Market traders noted that the gold market is benefiting from safe-haven appeal as worries about European debt, particularly Irish bonds, have resurfaced.
Besides, the market's worry over inflation also helps buoy up the market, as the Fed's QE2 is set to spark inflation and investment in such commodities as gold could help hedge against inflation.
Statistics showed that the holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest exchange-traded fund backed by bullion in the world, on Monday rose 2.4 metric tons to 1,294.2 tons, the first increase since Oct. 14.
December silver climbed 1.474 dollars, or 5.4 percent, to 28. 906 dollars, a fresh 30-year high.
Latest figures showed that U.S. wholesale inventories and sales further picked up momentum in September, but economists held that U.S. consumption might not post robust surges in the near future amid the economy's slackening expansion pace.
Inventories at the wholesale level added 1.5 percent in September from August to 417 billion U.S. dollars, or 7.9 percent up from a year ago, a ninth consecutive monthly rally, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Tuesday figures revealed.
Sales nationwide continued to register modest gains for the third consecutive month, with sales at the wholesale level up 0.4 percent in September from August to 353.9 billion U.S. dollars, and were up 11.9 percent from a year earlier.
The monthly wholesale inventories uptick was mainly boosted by an increase in items including automobile, furniture, machinery and apparel.
Economists noted that the U.S. wholesale inventories and sales slow growth in recent months were fresh evidence of the economy's ongoing recovery, as consumption accounted for around 70 percent of the total economic activity in the world's largest economy.
Businesses' incentives of restocking store shelves was a major engine for the manufacturing and economic recovery in the United States after suffering the worst recession in decades.
The U.S. economy grew at an annual pace of 2 percent in the third quarter this year, as personal consumption picked up steam but the nation's real estate sector still remained lackluster. The third-quarter growth rate was quicker than a 1.7-percent growth in the second quarter, but not strong enough to bring down the 9.6 percent unemployment rate.
The total business inventories-to-sales ratio in September ticked up slightly to 1.18 from 1.17 in August. But the ratio is lower than the 1.22 figure in September 2009.
This ratio is a measure of how long it would take to deplete stocks at the current sales pace. Usually, adding inventories are seen as a sign of increase of confidence in future demand. Analysts look at the inventories-to-sales ratio to determine how to interpret the data.
Experts held that with traditional shopping sprees during the festivals including Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in the fourth quarter, it was understandable that business owners pile up inventories, but the 1.18 ratio was still far away from the more than 1.4 percent peak level at the end of 2008.
Economists predicted that U.S. inventories and sales were not likely to post robust surges in the near future, as the nation was still facing challenges including a stubbornly high unemployment rate and slow paycheck increase pace.

You are up early today  I wouldn't be too concern, because commodities are shining even while the stocks are down in the US. And most of our holdings are commodity stocks, palm oil, cotton, energy (oil, coal) etc. Looking forward to Q4 earnings, it is almost a sure bet on commodity stocks. Noble, Gar, Wilmar, Olam, Indo Agri, etc. GenSp Q4 should also do well due to the holiday season in Nov and December. But before we jump ahead, lets focus on Q3 first

AMD to Start Shipping 'Fusion' Chips
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. said it has begun shipping its first chips that combine microprocessor and graphics circuitry on the same piece of silicon, fulfilling the promise of a costly 2006 acquisition that reshaped the company.
The company also told analysts Tuesday it should be able to reach gross profit margins of 44% to 48% in 2011—up from a prior target of 40% to 45%—and said a long-term goal of 50% should be achievable.

Small-Businesses Sentiment Improves
Small-business activity in the U.S. picked up in October, and job creation turned positive, according to a report released Tuesday that also took government economic policy to task for failing to turn the economy around.
The Small Business Optimism Index rose 2.7 points to 91.7 last month, said the National Federation of Independent Business. Despite the improvement, the NFIB said “this is still a recession level reading based on index values since 1973.” Even so, small-business owners were more upbeat about the future.
Owners expect an improvement in demand, with the expected sales index up 4 percentage points to 1%. The subindex of expected business conditions in six months also turned positive, jumping 11 percentage points to 8%. And the subindex on earnings trends continued to improve, rising 7 points to -26%.
Hiring also made gains. The October employment subindex increased 4 points to 1%. For those firms that are hiring, the subindex covering job openings that are hard to fill fell 1 point to 10%.
The report said “the mood for inventory investment weakened a bit.” The subindex on increasing inventories fell 1 points to -4% last month.
As has been the case for a while, inflationary pressures remain muted among small-business owners. Seasonally adjusted, the net percentage of owners raising prices stood at -5% in October, a 6 point increase from September. Still, October was the 23rd consecutive month in which more owners reported cutting average selling prices than raising them.
The NFIB seemed to blame the confusion in Washington for the low readings among small businesses. The report quoted James Madison in the Federalist Papers, noting among other passages that “great injury results from an unstable government.” Also, the report called the Federal Reserve’s further easing action to be “a highly doubtful policy course.”
