Year end Hoilday Travel

It's the year end and time for me to search the papers for travel and I really hate searching from page to page and onle getting limited information. I was glad when a friend of my introduced a website called Hotel Reservation and when I went to the site I am able to get everything in one site, you can book hotels anywhere in theworld for very competitive prices, not only hotel but you can get car rental buy your air tickets. What I like is the rebate of $100 that gurantees the lowest price as compared to any other companies. This reassures me that I am getting my money's worth.

RI Special Holdings proposes to acquire statutory control of Roly International with a stake of about 53.1 pct, which will combine a stake of 35.4 pct held by Roly International chairman Wang Lu Yen, his wife and Megastar, a company he controls, and a stake of 17.7 pct held by RI Investment Holdings Ltd.

Straco

New Marketing Event Launched Themed event launched. Shanghai Ocean Aquarium (SOA), a major subsidiary of Straco, is holding a competition for Best Christmas Tree Made with Recycled Materials. Selected works are on display at the aquarium during the competition in December. The event aims to promote waste reduction and recycling, consistent with SOA's image as an environment activist. More marketing initiatives scheduled. Management plans to launch two themed exhibitions in 2007. A greater variety of VIP programmes and annual entry passes will be launched. Also, more efforts will be made to collaborate with travel agents from neighbouring provinces, which could bring in more group visitors. We expect all these initiatives to attract more visitors. Industry developments. The Aquarium Division of China Science Museum Association, the only association in the aquarium industry, held its annual meeting recently. Professionals in the industry agreed that cutting entrance fees is no longer an effective way of improving business. Exhibitions should develop from putting up pure displays to more interactive ones supported by modern multimedia technology and cater to the needs and habits of visitors. These are in line with our earlier analysis that more interactive activities could attract more repeat visitors. Maintain HOLD. Although SOA is trying to become more dynamic in its operation, its existing business model of relying on walk-in visitors and a single income source has not improved significantly. We maintain our earnings forecasts of $3.24m and $3.42m for FY06 and FY07 respectively, assuming a mild growth rate of 5%. Given that the valuation is still demanding at 29x FY07 PE, we maintain our HOLD call with an entry price of $0.10.

online learning

Nowadays it is possible to complete your degree program through online learning via through the internet. One particular University that caught my eye was Capella University, founded in 1939. It is an accredited online university that offers graduate degree programs in the field of business, information technology, education, human services and psychology, as well as bachelor’s degree programs in business and information technology. A leading online University with over 16,000 students from all 50 states as well as from 63 countries world-wide.

SMRT

Launches issue of S$200m fixed rate notes SMRT announced the launch of a new issue of S$200m in notes under its S$500m Multicurrency Medium Term Note (MTN) Programme. The proceeds from the issue will be used to refinance the existing S$250m 3.41% bonds due on 21 Dec 06. The Notes comprise 2 series (a) S$100m of 3-yr fixed rate Notes with a coupon of 3.30% and (b) S$100m of 5-yr fixed rate Notes with a coupon of 3.27%. Gearing will remain at an acceptable level. As of Sep 06, SMRT has net debt of S$157m, or a net gearing of 27%. Factoring in the issue of the S$200m notes and the repayment of S$250m existing bonds, SMRT’s proforma net gearing will rise to 36%, which is still an acceptable level. This is consistent with our DCF valuation model, which assumes a capital structure of debt : equity of 30% : 70%. The longer duration of the new issue is, however, a positive. Mixed outlook for 3Q07. SMRT, in its results announcement in late Oct 06, guided that 3Q07 ridership for MRT, LRT and bus could be lower qoq due to seasonal fluctuation. However, the fare increases effective 1 Oct 06 will be positive for 3Q07 earnings. SMRT also guided 3Q07 rental and advertising income to be comparable to that of 2Q07. We believe that rental will continue to be a key driver (following the 34.9% yoy rental revenue surge in 2Q07) as SMRT has increased its rental space and yield following the redevelopment of retail spaces at various MRT stations. Correspondingly, we expect rental’s share of operating profit to increase from 2Q07’s 16.3%. Our DCF model, which factors in Circle Line contribution, gives a fair price of S$1.18. This leaves little scope for share price upside. Our FY08F dividend of 7¢ (one-tier tax exempt), which represents a high payout ratio of 90%, gives a dividend yield of 6.0%, which is relatively attractive. However, there is little scope for significant dividend increases ahead given the mild earnings growth expected. Hence HOLD. Buy below S$1.06.

SATS

Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS SP, S$2.42, SELL, Fair value: S$1.90) yesterday announced November operating statistics. Unit services handled fell 1.9% yoy even as flights grew slightly at 0.2%. Cargo and passengers handled grew 6.7% and 9.5% respectively, while unit meals increased 6.8% yoy. The respectable growth in cargo and passengers is encouraging and will benefit SATS' performance and profitability. We will upgrade our fair value price, but we are unlikely to raise it sufficiently to reverse our SELL recommendation, as we feel the envirnoment is precarious for SATS. A slowdown in cargo has, until this month, been looming at SIA as it struggles to return its cargo unit to profitability, and SIA is responsible for over 70% of SATS cargo business. Growth in services is likely being bought and paid for with reduced margins as competitive pressure from Singapore airport handling peers continues. SATS needs more good news flow about concluding overseas ventures to significantly improve the stock's viability beyond the current price. Maintain SELL.

Zyrtec

My brother is a Doctor and I always see him using this book which has a run down of all the medicine and the contradiction to the use of the medication. With that book he will be lost. I introduce to him this website called Epocrates. Epocrates is enhancing its free web-based drug and formulary reference guide with patient education materials and additional clinical tools . There is no longer a need for him to carry that book as everything is now online, such as drug dosing, drug interactions and health plan coverage. What more he can actually show his patients a printed picture of the pill and they will no longer be confused. Being online there is more facilities that can be incorporated o the website such frequently asked questions for the prescribed medication. The patient-friendly educational handouts are available in English or Spanish and can be printed or emailed. The extensive drug guide that can be found on Epocrates, take the drug Zyrtec in the website they will list out the Dosing, Contraindication, Drug Interactions, Adverse reaction, cost and other information.

China Market

The benchmark Shanghai composite index closed up 0.20% yesterday at 2,223.455 points, off an intra-day peak of 2,244.407 -- just below its record high of 2,245.435 hit on June 14, 2001. We think the index will continue to consolidate around 2,220 today before standing firmly above the record high, with total trading volume at around RMB55bn to RMB65bn. Local traders are optimistic over the A-share market in the coming year and expect the index to climb another 35% benefit from the improvement of company management after the split share reform. In addition, blue chips will continue to be the market leaders partly stimulated by the boarding of index futures. Neutral * The reform plan for split share structure of Nari Technology Development (600406.SS) is structured as follows: Each floating A-share holder is offered 1.8 consideration shares (tax exempted) per 10 floating A-shares. * Xiamen Xinda (000701.SZ) will provide joint liability guarantee for the bank loan of not more than RMB40 million applied for by Xiamen Xinda Electronics Co., Ltd., the company's controlled subsidiary, to China Construction Bank, Xiamen branch. * Shanghai Airlines on Wednesday signed a USD550 million deal to buy aircraft engines with GE Aviation, a leading U.S. manufacturer of jet aircraft engines.

PPB

Goldman Sachs says it has raised its rating for Wilmar International Ltd (formerly EzyHealth Asia Pacific) to "buy" from "neutral" because it has a favorable view of the company's proposed 4.1 bln-sgd merger with the Kuok group's plantation operations. "Post-merger, Wilmar has a portfolio of high-growth businesses," Goldman Sachs said in a note. "We believe that the deal should be earnings-accretive, and we have upgraded our 2007 and 2008 earnings per share estimates by 9 pct and 6 pct respectively. In the longer term, we believe there should be strong synergies in the combined group as it is the largest palm oil refiner in the world," it added. The brokerage expects Wilmar's net profit to be 349 mln usd next year and 401 mln usd in 2008. It has raised its target price for Wilmar stock to 2.12 sgd from 1.80 sgd to factor-in the likelihood that the merger will widen the company's refining margins. At 11.08 am, Wilmar was up 0.40 sgd or 23.39 pct at 2.11, on volume of 29.2 mln shares.

PPB

PPB Group Berhad (NOT RATED/RM5.50) Cheaper Alternative to Wilmar International We view positively of the acquisition of PPB Oil Palms by Wilmar International. This has transform Wilmar into a large integrated plantation companies with sigificant exposure in both upstream and downstream. PPB Group offer cheaper entry into Wilmar! Upon completion of the M&A proposal, PPB Group will have 18% stake in the enlarged Wilmar International (estimated market capitalisation S$13.5b based on Wilmar's share price of S$2.11) . This has transfrom PPB Group from a local coglomerate to a global player. Based on Wilmar's share price of S$2.11, RNAV for PPB Group is RM7.75. PPB Group should trade at the RNAV as it also give an exposure to Kuok Group's other unlisted assets.

Sembcorp Marine (SCMN.SI)

Year-end Push and Potential Spillover to 2007  New orders — With the latest two contract wins, SembMarine's YTD new orders stand at S$3.0b (versus last year's record of S$4.2b). While we think 2006 new orders may not match 2005, we understand that enquiries remain high with keen interest from potential customers. Due to the lumpy nature of contract signings, we think some potential orders could spill into 2007.  Contract from Noble — The latest contract with Noble Drilling to construct, convert and outfit a new semisub from an existing baredeck hull Bingo 9000 has an estimated construction cost of US$500m. This includes shipyard cost, ownerfurnished equipment (OFE), project management cost and others. Less the OFE, we think the contract value to SembMarine is about US$150-200m.  A 4Q surge — We continue to believe that SembMarine should see a 4Q surge due to the four jackups and one semisub achieving their 20% initial revenue recognition threshold in 4Q06. The group's ship repair business remains strong especially for LNG/LPG tankers and container vessels. Demand for FPSO/FSO conversions and Fixed Production Platforms also remains healthy.  Remains attractive— Currently trading at 17.6x FY07E P/E with ROEs moving towards 20%, we believe valuations remain attractive considering that EPS should grow at a 3-year CAGR of 44%. In line with our previous adjustment to Keppel O&M, we have rolled-over our target multiple to Dec 07 (from Jun 07) and lowered our peg from 25x to 22x, which brings our target price from S$4.30 to S$4.35. We reiterate our Buy/Low Risk (1L) rating on SembMarine.

China Market

China market is likely to consolidate upward after touching new highyesterday, but the roller coaster trading yesterday also indicatesinvestors' conflict attitude over the market.

Baking stocks, such as BankofChina (601988.SS) and ICBC (601398.SS) will continue to outperformfollowingyesterday's strong performances, which was possibly pushed by the newraised funds during fourth quarter.

I love all these gadgets, especially when there are so many to chose from, you can find electronic gadgets for camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, boating, and driving. Don’t you love the feel of a GPS in your hand, knowing exactly where you are, no longer getting ‘lost’. But this season I am going fishing, Yes, deep sea fishing.

SembCorp

SembCorp Marine (SMM SP) BUY Current Price: S$3.38 Target Price: S$3.90 Jurong Shipyard, a subsidiary of SembCorp Marine (SMM), has secured a contract from Noble Drilling Holding (Noble), USA, to construct, convert and outfit a new ultra-deepwater dynamically positioned semi-submersible rig from Noble's existing baredeck hull Noble Danny Adkins. Noble is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Noble Corporation. The estimated construction cost of the semi-submersible rig is about US$500m, including shipyard cost, owner-furnished equipment, project management cost and general contingencies. In one fell swoop, SMM raises its new contracts clinched in 2006 from S$2.7b to S$3.4b. This has met our forecast of S$3.5b worth of new contracts in 2006. Work on the semi-submersible rig will commence immediately with delivery scheduled in 1Q09. On completion, the Noble Danny Adkins will operate in water depths up to 12,000 feet and drill to a total depth of 35,000 ft. The dynamically positioned semi-submersible rig will have living accommodation for at least 200 people. Noble has previously reported that the Noble Danny Adkins is contracted to Shell upon completion of construction for a four-year term. This rig contract relates to the conversion of one of the two semi-submersible hulls owned by Noble. We reckon SMM stands a good chance of clinching a second contract for conversion of the other hull, Noble Bingo 9000 Rig 4 into a semi-submersible rig. Noble purchased these two hulls from Ocean Rig in 2002 during the downturn of the offshore drilling market. Our earnings forecasts for SMM are unchanged. Maintain BUY and our target price of S$3.90.

China Market

The market will resume the upward momentum following yesterday's strong rally with shrinking turnover, which showed investors' selling desire is low. We consider blue chips still have investment opportunities. Banking and property stocks remain top pickers of local traders, agriculture sector will outperform in the mid term due to fund rotation twinned with policy support during the eleventh five-year plan. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index will consolidate between 2,130 and 2,200 with total trading volume at RMB65bn. Positive * China Life's application for A-share listing will be examined on Friday, according to the public statement released by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) on Monday. China Life announced last August that it planned to issue around 1.5 billion A-shares and aimed to raise more than RMB20 billion. * China's banking regulator will accept the application of eight foreign banks for local incorporation, according to the announcement on the website of China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC). Following the issuance of the new Regulations on Administration of Foreign-funded Banks, HSBC, Citigroup, Standard Chartered Bank, Bank of East Asia, Hang Seng Bank, Mizuho Corporate Bank, DBS Bank and ABN AMRO have applied to turn their operations in China to locally registered corporations. Neutral * China's monthly trade surplus stood at 22.9 billion U.S. dollars in November, according to a latest report from the General Administration of Customs. The report shows that the November foreign trade climbed up 26.1 percent to 168.788 billion U.S. dollars, including an export of 95.854 billion U.S. dollars, up 32.8 percent, and an import of 72.933 billion U.S. dollars, up 18.3 percent. * Guangdong Shaoneng Group (000601.SZ) has been approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) to issue not more than 150 million A-shares in its non-public offering.

flower delivery

I was walking by the mall just this afternoon and I noticed this shop selling flowers and it has been a long time since I last bought flowers for my wife. Now that she is overseas on a short mission trip, I thought why not get a nice bouquet for her.

I must be out of touch as it has been along time since I been to the florist. What surprise more is that you can order online and get it delivered anywhere in United States on the same day.

No wonder my wife calls me a dinosaur, I thing it is time for me to catch up online and I am going to do my shopping online at least buying flower online first, before she returns.

We think it is a good chance to cumulate some LHL given the imminent 3G licenses issuance.

Olam

A Taste of What's to Come…  1Q growth of 24% sets the scene for a good year ahead. Olam reports 1Q net profit of S$8.1m, above our forecast of S$7-8m. Full-year forecast of S$106.6m is increased marginally. Olam continuing to deliver earnings within (bullish) expectations will ensure continued outperformance, in our view.  Net contribution (NC) per ton rose 10%. The net contribution per ton increased 10% in the quarter as Olam increasingly provides value-added services for its clients. This is an important kicker to earnings to accompany rising volumes.  Volume growth reached 21%. Global volume growth is in the 3-4% range; Olam therefore continues to take market share from incumbent statutory boards and international trade houses. We believe Olam is uniquely placed to continue to drive volume growth through a combination of a unique service offering and strategy to enter new product and geographic adjacencies.  Increasing target price to S$2.49. We have increased our target price from S$1.93 to S$2.49 on the back of our higher forecast 3-year CAGR of 23.2% (previously 21%), higher ROE assumption (up 30bps) and importantly by rolling forward our valuation to June 2008. We view Olam as a strategic LT investment. Our experience suggests investors hold Olam for its bullish secular growth outlook and niche positioning, which is well protected by high barriers to entry.  Key risk - priced to perfection. Delivery of the 25% 5-year CAGR target should ensure continual share price appreciation at these multiples; however, slippage is not an option. An emerging growth profile less than this may cause the stock to de-rate to market valuations.

Journey of your life

Everytime I watch National Geographic or the Travel channel, I think of all the travels that I have gone through and also thinking of all the places that I have never been. Once that travel bug bites I go crazy and search the papers for travel guide. But you find very limited information due to space, so I do my searching on the internet highway. What you then end up is with too many information or you need to go through to many sites just to find the right one. Now with luggage on line you get all the best 50 sites in one location. I found my destination that I want to go and that is South Africa or is the trip to Turkey better. Back to the site for me. Bon Voyage.
