Another director buy-in 100K at $4.50 from open market trade. This is the 3rd director doing so since FY07 result. No wonder this counter is so defensive recently. 
To steal half-phrase from WB : "You should be greedy when others are afraid"....... but I dun see any panic sell down on SPH though STI is down 100pts. I say, let's be greedy and wait patiently for it to come down some more before we buy in for long term safe keeping. I targeted $4.10 - 4.20 ex-div.
Tomorrow should see quite a critical yet highly volatile day for the stock market. A relatively busy day for stock brokers, punter & long term investor.
It could be a great opportunity to get some blue chip stocks.
How you interpret this:" NOWHERE"? -No where?
I would rather say now here! Remember: ?危机就是机会".
BB means Big Boy. Those wealthy guys or fund managers classified into this group. SPH is one of the top ten holding for this fund (unit trust): HSBC HGIF Singapore Equity (US$) .
Monday shall be red sea and guess monday would be good chance to load up some of this stock at lower price....patiently waiting...

You have picked the right choice of F & N especially with the younger Lee at its helm. A new leader will always try to show his/her worth. F&N will soar. Unfortunately, my money is tied up with this damm lazy elephant SPH otherwise, I will bank everything on F&N

Please clarify "smart money" and what is "BB" Thanks
Pls follow the 'smart money' where it flow.....
Excellent buying opportunity surface again. BB start to accumulate @ $4.52....
and u will get the cash one day after boxing day...
this is definitely slow and steady one..try stock up...whenever it hit below 4.5...div pay out at 190 per lot ex on 11 dec.
I vested in F&N too on dec 2006 @ the price of $4.56. Look at the current price! Magnificent!
F.y.i., I also vested in F&N after the stock split 1into 4 or 5 same time last year as SPH. However, today after one year F&n is trading about $2/- higher than the original split price whereas SPH has only gone as high .50 or 0.60 cts higher than the split price I think. So the opportunity cost of parking your dough into SPH is really very high in my opinion. This stock really has to do much better.
Yes, i am aware that it underwent a stock split of 1 into 5 or 4 last year. That is when I invested in it. Do you know how long it took to reach those high levels before the split.? I really do think that this info will help alot of us.
It is not a bad stock. It is more like a good fixed deposit which pays good interest as well as appreciates in the principal sum over time.
A very good point made by EastonBay is that it was not really effected by the sub prime meltdown that effected markets badly worlwide. It is definately worth keeping if you are a long term investor but definately not for short term punters / contra players. I just hope that after a year's wait the predictions do finally come true. Will sell at $5.50 level.
Things u may not know....
Do u know SPH is top ten holding of certain unit trust?? Just name a few: DBS Shenton Thriff Fund, HGIF Singapore Equity Fund (US), etc....
Do u know SPH went thru' stock split of 1 to 5 in order to be more affordable to retail investor??
Yeah, it's an elephant of SGX, but wait a minute, does an elephant afraid of 'BEAR' ? 
agreeeeee with mmmmmm, it is dividend stock to me...and a good defensive one too... check that it remained relatively unchanged through the Feb, May and August meltdown... still around the same level. Like mmmmmm, I won't be complaining if what the chairman said comes true sooner.

Hey Sept11,
U seem very very excited abt SPH. I am afraid I do not share yr sentiments. My experience with this stock has not been very good this far. Been holding it for abt a yr since last divident was announced abt same time last yr. Many broking houses predicted levels ranging from abt 5.20 to even 5.80. But this ELEPHANT stock has never ever come close. The highest it went in the past yeat was abt 4.70 I think.
The same story is being repeated again this year, so do not get too excited as yet. Many other investors have told their experiences with SPH in this forum, just scroll back & u'll see all the dissapointments.
It will go up, but be prepared to wait a couple of years at least. However if it happens sooner then I will not be complaining.
Rgds:
MMMMMM.
SPH slow but steady moving up, unlike roller-coaster Uni-Asia......
FYI:
Dividend: (1) Dividend SGD 0.09 Final One-Tier Tax (2) Dividend SGD 0.10 Special One-Tier Tax
EX date: 11 Dec 2007.
Payable: 27 Dec 2007
Congrats to those who pickup during panic selling yesterday @ $4.48. The upward trend remain unchanged. For those who still hesitate to buy, only the time will tell wether u decision is right or wrong.......
