Singapore Stock Market Booming by Investment

Singapore shares closed 0.14 percent lower on Monday, as stagnant U.S. budget talks threatened to derail the world's largest economy and kept investors cautious, but price drop was limited as further signs of a stabilizing Chinese economy boosted investors' sentiment.

China's official manufacturing purchasing managers' index rose to a 7-month high of 50.6 in November, following up on a preliminary private sector survey which revealed factory activity reviving to a 13-month high.

A number of central banks, including the Reserve Bank of Australia, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, will hold their policy meetings this week. The monthly U.S. nonfarm payrolls data is due out on this Friday.

SIAS Research said "we could see the index testing 3,080 points resistance level, with immediate support at 3,060 points and 3,040 points levels."

DBS Group Research said "trading activity should taper down over the next three weeks before picking up again just before Christmas. The Straits Times Index is likely to range within 3,030 points and 3,090 points over the next three weeks with firmer support noted at 2,980 points."

Singapore's benchmark Straits Times Index dropped 4.21 points to 3,065.74 points. Trading volume was 1.86 billion shares worth 1. 09 billion Singapore dollars. Decliners outnumbered advancers 220 to 158, while 582 stocks did not move.

Among top actives, Genting Singapore shed 3.1 percent to 1.24 Singapore dollars. Deutsche Bank Research has a "hold" rating and 1.27 Singapore dollars target price on Genting Singapore. The German research house lowered its growth estimate for Singapore's gaming market in 2013 to 3 percent, from 6 percent previously.

Olam International requested on Monday a trading halt in its shares for one day pending the release of an announcement. The Singapore commodity trader bought 100 percent of Dehydro Foods Limited, which processes dehydrated onions and herbs in Egypt, for 30.8 million Singapore dollars.

Singapore Airlines closed flat at 10.71 Singapore dollars. It said it was in discussions with interested parties for the possible divestment of its 49 percent stake in British carrier Virgin Atlantic. It did not name the interested parties, but Delta Air Lines had reportedly held recent talks to buy Singapore Airlines' 49 percent stake in Virgin Atlantic.

Buried Treasures in Bohol Philippines

Written by Joe Espiritu       Four persons died in a treasure hunting accident last week. They died for nothing. Many had lost their shirts in the venture, the propensity for Filipinos to get rich quick attribute to the treasure hunting mania. The sad part is that only the ignorant venture on the search, those in the know, being sure that nothing will come out of the effort would not think of investing money, time and effort – this time lives – in a fruitless enterprise.        There had been stories of people getting rich uncovering treasure troves in unlikely places. Most stories are false. Ancient graves of archeological and anthropological value had been desecrated by treasure hunters. They had found nothing. Those people may have struck it rich but not from some hidden riches. Contrary to what other people say, there are no buried treasures in Bohol . If there had been, they were unearthed years ago.         If one ...

Obama is the richest man in the world

I hold you to the words you are writing. You blamed Bush for the balanced budget disappearing. I don't know if you are capable of holding a memory that happen yesterday. You have forgotten that Bush was a war President, two wars in his term; Katrina & Rita, three major hurricanes that destroyed Florida and the gulf coast, Annual fires ravaging California that dependent on Bush to declare those as disaster areas too. Then the Democrats protest any move by the Republican to reform the Fannie Mae and Freddi Mac because of policy created by Democrats on home buyers that had no income. Greenlining was opposed by Democrats. Bush fought the good wars, maintained the economy until Obama and his handlers created a hoax about worst economy, and unemployment in 5%. People like you believed his lies, about high debts in $500 billion and worst unemployment and depression since 1932!   In less than a year Obama committed $3 trillion debts, before his term is over projected to $27 trillion, ...
