Two weeks ...from 1 ct to 44 cts - Value Hunting pays off!!

Donald [John] Trump, the US magnate once shared this about his investment philosophy in an exclusive interview with an author who was compiling his autobiography. [can't remember the title of the book] He [Donald Trump] reasoned that when a stock is trading at a deep discount to its NAV [net asset value], he would ring up his investment advisor and start his buying heavily for two reasons. Though such enormous transactions are not realistic to the average investors, there is perhaps something we can learn from his points and my experience in the like [will talk about it in a while but first..]

A peep into deal-making process [ snapshot 1 of 4]

For those of you who wonder what goes on behind the scene prior to the actual announcement of a major corporate transaction... An RTO deal in the process which I undertook in 2008.
Summarizing the pertinent deal points and presenting to my client after the meeting.

It was Oil, now it's GOLD.....

Barely two years after the Oil price surge, another old time favourite 'cash preservation' instrument, the GOLD, is coming into the limelight and beginning to make frequent presence in the financial headlines. But the news on gold breaking new high isn't really something...new; at all.

how to read and ride the wild market 4-2/5

continuing: how to read and ride the wild market


“News, comments and opinions are nothing but loaves of ‘processed’ information. They are not original as in one is one; two is two; that’s raw. You’ll always find elements of bias, amplification and at times distortions in these statements or representations. The choice of words and numbers, points of reference can make an actual situation appear very different.
