Some of the brands (which Singaporeans are probably familiar with) you can find in the company’s retail and online stores include Carhartt, Dickies, Wrangler, and Timberland Pro.

In this post, you’ll learn about some of the key performances by the company over the past 8 years (between FY2014/15 and FY2021/22 – the company has a financial year ending every last Saturday of March), such as its financial performances and its debt profile. I’ll also be sharing whether or not the company’s current traded price is considered ‘cheap’ or ‘expensive’ based on its current vs. its 8-year valuation.

Let’s begin:

Societe Generale launches first US equity indices DLCs on S&P 500 Index

Societe Generale launches first US equity indices DLCs on S&P 500 Index

Our valued partner, Societe Generale, is pleased to announce the launch of four Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs) offering exposure to US equity indices, starting with the S&P 500 index from Friday, 4 March. The DLCs tracking US equity indices enables investors to gain long and short exposure to the US market during Singapore trading hours through their regulator stock broker account using Singapore Dollars.

Note that the S&P 500 DLCs are only traded during SGX market hours from 9am to 5pm when the US market is closed, hence the DLCs intra-day price movements will be closely linked to the performance of the e-mini S&P 500 futures which are traded during Asian hours.

The Story of Short Squeezes Repeats Itself – Volkswagen (2008) and Gamestop (2021) (guest post)

The Story of Short Squeezes Repeats Itself – Volkswagen (2008) and Gamestop (2021) (guest post)

John Keynes once said that the market can stay irrational longer than most retail investors can stay solvent.

Well, we’ll add hedge funds and institutional funds to that lists.

In case you have not heard of the hottest town talks surrounding the market in the recent days, shares of several counters (I purposely mentioned counters rather than companies because it doesn’t matter anymore, they are treated as a pawn right now) such as Gamestop $GME, AMC, BB, Nokia, KOSS have rocketed to escalating levels due to strong ongoing retail demand pushing up the stock.

Yes, you heard it right.

It’s not big institutional controlling it (though I would argue there might be small hedge funds perhaps who are participating in the party), but rather retailers who lurked around forums such as Reddits, and StockTwits nests and consolidate their purchasing power by pushing up the price.

Now, let’s just take Gamestop for instance.

The company has been a target for short-sellers for a number of years now, and the amount of short-selling volume amounted to more than 140% of the entire floating shares available. The company has started its buyback program for a number of years in the past and therefore has only some 70m floating shares lurking around.

If you theoretically take the number of forumers – Reddit/wallstreetbets/StockTwits users/followers, which is likely to amount to more than 20m, you can essentially have a coordinated orchestra to move the markets. …

What You Need to Know about US’ First $2 Trillion Company – Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) (Guest Post)

What You Need to Know about US’ First $2 Trillion Company – Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) (Guest Post)

Last Friday (21 August), I conducted a simple poll on The Singaporean Investor’s Telegram broadcast group (you can join the group here to receive the latest updates) to find out whether or not you will be interested to read about company analyses of US-listed companies written in “The Singaporean Investor” way, similar to my company analyses of Singapore-listed companies. A huge majority voted in favour of it so here I am!

First Apple store to float on water off Singapore's Marina Bay Sands

The first US-listed company I am going to write about today is the first US$2 trillion company (in terms of its market capitalisation) in the United States – Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). You can read the news report by New York Times about it here.

Another news about the company to highlight (in case you’re not aware) is that it will be doing a four-for-one stock split (meaning if you hold one share of Apple, after the share split, you will own 4 shares of the company; at the same time, the share price of the company will be divided by 4 after the share split), and shares will be trading at the new split-adjusted price from 31 August 2020.

In this post, I will be sharing with you all the researches I have done about the company – including a brief introduction about the company, along with its financial performances, debt profile, and dividend payouts over a 5-year period (between FY2015 and FY2019.) On top of that, you will also find a summary of the company’s performances for the first 9 months of the current financial year so far (the company has a financial year end on the last Saturday of September.) Finally, I will also be looking at the company’s 5-year historical valuations and compare it against the company’s current valuations (based on its current share price) to determine if the share price of Apple Inc is considered to be trading at a discount or at a premium currently.

Are you ready? Let’s begin…

Weaker Dollar Gives Hope to Small Cap, Value and Ex-US Global Stocks (Guest Post)

The US dollar weakens. This is because a vast sums of money is pumped into the main street and financial markets to prevent a financial calamity.

There are some possible repercussions. These are possibilities and not definite:

  • There are evidence to suggest the weakness in the US dollar is gonna last longer
  • Whether there is inflation or weakness in the currency would depend on each country’s central bank’s response
  • Equity markets remains more attractive than bonds
  • Ex US markets looked more attractive than US
  • Cyclical stocks, value, and small caps look to do better in this climate based on past data.

What is the Situation?

http-com-ft-imagepublish-upp-prod-us-s3-amazonaws-com-3e73c978-7899-11e9-be7d-6d846537acab

On Friday, 23rd August, Trump said in a tweet that U.S. companies “are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China, including bringing your companies HOME and making your products in the USA. ” It was not immediately clear under what authority or how the president could implement such orders. On the same day, China announced plans to impose additional duties on $75 billion worth of American goods on Sept. 1 and Dec. 15. In response, U.S President Donald Trump tweeted later that day his administration would also raise tariffs on $550 billion of Chinese imports. The latest round of tariff announcements in the last few days means that by the end of the year, essentially all Chinese goods exported to the U.S. will be subject to duties based on sources from CNBC.
