New Toy 2010

1st Toy for 2010 even it's now in Dec 2010..... we decided to buy a car and we went for the new Toyota Altis 1.6. It's expensive to buy a car in Singapore as the COE is keep going up now. I was lucky to win the bid even with the 39K COE!

just got the car yesterday and drove all the way from WestCoast to home! nice feeling :p

Resignation

14 Jan 2010, my wife decided to resign from the company.....

I think this is a good move, even she is jobless now.... she can focus on the kids and their school and nanny for the time being.

Bosses are jumping but I think it's an important move that we can not always putting the company at the 1st place... others are important too - at least for now.

The case is not closed yet, they are still phone calls, email surrounding this issue, hopefully it will be ended peacefully.

Golden Agri-Resources Ltd (S$0.585, Maintain BUY): Executing as per its strategy

CPO pricing remains firm. After staging a nice rebound since

Oct, CPO prices have managed to remain firm above MYR2600/

ton (US$765/ton), aided by both the rising crude oil prices

(above US$80/barrel) as well as concerns that the supply of

edible oil may be affected by the El Nino phenomenon.

Nevertheless, we intend to keep our conservative US$720/ton

average selling price estimate for GAR for this year, as GAR

tends to achieve lower CPO prices vs. spot market rates, where

its average rates could be reflecting 3-month old market rates.

On the other hand, due to the recent re-rating of CPO stocks,

we are raising our valuation multiple from 14x to 16x FY10F

EPS, resulting in a fair value of S$0.66 (previous: S$0.58).

Maintain BUY.
