Monday 14 May 2012 @ 9:52 AM

 Both Juken and Frencken has asked for a trading halt this morning.  In September 2011, both companies announced that they were involved in discussions that could lead to a merger via a scheme of arrangement.   Since then both companies have been giving shareholders monthly updates that discussions are still on going.

Oxley Holdings reports 114% in Q3-2012 revenue to S$48.1mn while net profit was higher by 56% to $8.6mn...two new launches do well.....

 I revisited Oxley Holdings in a recent Blog posting on 17 April 2012.  The original concept recommendation that I made  in January 2011 cited the execution of their bold plan as key to unlocking value.  They have done it.......now we have to wait for them to recognise the profits from their sales over the next two years.

Who or what can stop this "Penny Cap" rally ?

Thursday 26 Apr 2012 @ 2:19 PM

Penny stocks have been dominating the volume on the SGX since February 2012.   This is not unusual as we had our blue chip rally from Oct 2011 to Jan 2012 and through normal rotational interest the trading on penny stocks would increase on the back of more positive market sentiment.
