      Just my thought outside the box. Since road tax of EVs to which electricity is a part of the equation I stead of petrol or diesel, why 'tax' the EV owners extra for non usage of mineral fuel when they are directly subject to the electricity price. Isn't it fairer to treat electricity and mineral fuel expenses (or revenue for the providers) as 2 separate distinct fuels and subject all to the same tax regime based on kW capacity? Can the authority enlighten us?

      Indeed a super long dream for those who believe in the 2030 forecast revenue. The truth is 5 years wait and meanwhile the company is losing $ and about $20 billions just before the IPO. So, the question should be: is it your dream or someone's else? Meanwhile, Musk becomes the 1st Trillionaire!

      A review of my earlier comments about Apple.  Well, its the same story - not much improvement in the innovative segment. Can you imagine the company is still showcasing slow motion capability in it's 16 Pro - a feature long available even in mid range of other brand. Confidence in the company's products is sapping and Tim Cook and other executives are selling recently. The app store is the only cash cow for now. However this may fall into the same bin if Apple still continues to charge exorbitant fees as compared to other challengers.. Innovation is lacking in this department too.  If Tim Cook and company still think that the Steve Jobs post strategies he left behind works, then sadly there's nothing left to say except to sell.  Just my opinion, sell now if you can and

      Can I say something about this phenomenon? While the historical data helps us to understand accuracy and the risk associated with 2 period in question, it's unwise to challenge the summation for that is actually talking for the sake of talking. So, what doeI want to say? I see this adage as a good opportunity to both rebalance and relook our existing portfolios. Good stocks can be rebalanced while those fails to meet expectations can be either reduced or removed to cut losses. It maybe alsoea good time to take profits either trimming our holdings or sell all if our analysis of that particular stocks has turned lesser as a growth stock and little dividend benefits. I welcome any comments on this as mutual learning helps all of us. Good luck!

      "Sell in May and Go Away" Isn't as Useful as It Once Was

      One of the oldest adages on Wall Street -- "sell in May and go away" -- has held that it is in investors' best interest to sell their stocks at the beginning of May and return to the market at the start of November.Actually, yes, but not as much as it once did.To study the accuracy of this axiom, also known as the Halloween indicator because it suggests buying stocks right after Oct. 31, my research assistants and I pulled all data on various stock classes going back to the 1950s. These groupings were U.S. growth stocks, U.S. value stocks, large- and small-cap U.S. stocks, and international stocks.With these groupings, we then looked at two periods: before 2000 and after 2000 through 2023. And within each of these date ranges, we looked at average returns and volatility for the period from May to October versus the rest of the year .In all, it appears that there is still some truth to "sell in May and go away" in the 21 century as you can indeed score higher returns by s

      Can I say something? While I have no argument about the recommended stocks, it's laughable that an investment publications could say "... Buy and pass down to your children" as if the stocks are forever resilient. Why? Are there great blue chips, you may ask. Generally there's no guarantee that past or present performance will remain the same in the future. This is the buyer's beware statement of every investment advice or tips.  Prevalent investment environment today is and will never be the same in the future depending on the global investment trends and new opportunity and requirements. Just an example, did you hear of Tesla during the Ford era? The caption of " buy and pass down.." goes against other investment basics that we learned in school.  The stocks may or may not

      Which bank? May I share my little view? Some may called the banks old fashioned stocks and unexciting. Generative AI, electric cars, are some favourable new fad. So, should we ignore the banks or just choose one? My take is to get all if you can. Or else in ascending alphabetical order I e DBS, OCBC and UOB.  Btw, I own all 3 and looking to add whether price is right. Without the banks, generative AI or electric car ventures cannot operate efficiency as funds come mainly from the banks and financial transactions are carried out with the banks, right? All 3 local banks unlike those in the US, particularly regional and rural ones are safe with their prudent strategies and reserve requirement.  N Being a small island state, Sg cannot afford failure of the banking system and hence th

      May I add my 2 cent worth? Apple seems a bit lost about its core business and business strategies. Can Apple be all over the places from smart car, mobile phone, generative AI, consumer wearables and what not without the above business sense and twchnological prowess of the Steve Job's era? Steve Job might be able to help alleviate the solution but not completely if he was still around. His techological brilliance and smart approach may help in some areas such as telecommunications and mobile phone related projects but not all definitely including the strapped smart car.  The smart car never took off likely due to the fast evolving paces of industry which Apple couldn't manage to obtain an advantage from it's late to start strategy that's wisely use in the various generations of

      If all hold truth perhaps the 2 rumour mongers should be held responsible for the loss and anxiety to Olam's stakeholders so that they and any other publications think twice before spreading untruth or malicious lies for their own gains.  Shorting a stock for anticipated drop in current price is different from manipulative frauds through shareholders emotional response Your view in this matter?

      Olam Group Shares Surged 9% afer Saying Audit Committee Has Found No Evidence of Fraud

      Olam Group said an audit and risk committee has found no evidence to establish the allegations of a multi-billion dollar fraud by its Nigerian units.The review by the committee was conducted with the assistance of external counsels and independent external accountants, Olam said Monday.In September, the Daily Nigerian newspaper and Prime Business Africa, citing unnamed sources, reported that Nigeria's State Security Service was investigating an economic fraud to the tune of over US$50 billion involving Olam Nigeria, Olam International, and their nine subsidiaries.Olam had denied those allegations, and its board had directed the audit committee to review the matter."Olam Nigeria has cooperated fully with the Nigerian authorities and assisted in their enquiry. No charges have been brought against Olam Nigeria or any of its officers by the Nigerian authorities," the Singapore-listed company said, adding that all its businesses in Nigeria continue to operate normally.The company said that

      There are 2 pressing issues that I would like to share my view, namely public housing and government agencies cost control. 1. Public housing. Has anyone in the relevant authority consider or relook at the policy of artificially pricing of new flats via various subsidy that indirectly affect the supply and demand of such flats esp when the owners are quick to resell the flats after the 5 yr MOP for 'gain' from the subsidized price which can be substantiality lower than the si called open market price.  A relook at the MOP and high subsidy giving prior consideration to the control of housing inflation rather than political aims of artificial affordability of such subsidized housing prices. Eg. Putting a cap on the total subsidy vis-a-vis percentage cap of the prevailing
