buy gold coin

Look to Monex Deposit Company (MDC) which is able to aid you in your investments. MDC has been in this business for 30 years dealing in America’s gold, silver and precious metal. Nowadays you are able to purchase silver, gold and other precious metal which are either delivered to you or stored in an independent bank or depository. So you may ask why invest in such items. Because gold, silver and precious metal prices have been rising and it is a good form of investment whereas currencies do fluctuate a lot. So in what form is this silver, gold and precious metal made into. Yes they are in ingot or coins. In coins they do have a face value or they could be defined in ingots, also. Now is the best time to buy silver and the value has been rising steady same for gold so whether you buy silver coins or buy gold coin or in the form of ingots, the choice is yours. So like to buy the American eagle gold coins which is available in units of 10 one-ounce coins for personal delivery only. This gold coins are Legal tender coin in the USA with a $50 face value. Also available for personal delivery only in fractional sizes of ounce, ounce and 1/10 ounce, in units of 20 coins each.

Tat Hong

Buy: Still Well Positioned in a Solid Industry Buy/Low Risk 1L Price (08 Jan 07) S$1.22 Target price S$1.50 from S$1.30 Expected share price return 23.0% Expected dividend yield 3.5% Expected total return 26.5% Market Cap S$551M US$359M 2006 2007E 2008E EPS new 0.10 0.09 0.11 EPS Growth 113.4 -5.1 16.6 P/E 12.6 13.3 11.4 EV/EBITDA 8.0 7.5 6.6 Consensus Data 0.10 0.09 0.10 Price Performance (RIC: TAT.SI, BB: TAT SP)  Re-iterate Buy/Low Risk (1L) — We have rolled-over our target peg for Tat Hong from Mar-07 to Mar-08, raising our 12-month target price from S$1.30 to S$1.50. Our recent discussion with management suggests that the group remains in a strong position, benefiting from a tight industry and exposure to the resource and infrastructure sectors which are still seeing brisk activity.  Positive statistics— Utilisation rates should rise further towards 80% from about 73- 75% currently with the construction of the Integrated Resorts in Singapore. Selling prices of heavy equipment are also tracking upwards by between 5-15% suggesting that margins have room for further upside.  Market rundown — Singapore, The Middle East, China and Vietnam appear to be the most exciting markets for the group over the coming years. Australia and Malaysia are stable, while Thailand seems to be seeing some slowdown due to political issues. Tat Hong is particularly optimistic on Singapore and expects jobs for the Integrated Resorts from mid-2007 onwards.  Australia — The previous hiccup with Kingston appears to have been contained and management is now more optimistic on prospects. Tat Hong looks well positioned to benefit from strength in the resource industry in W. Australia.  China — Tat Hong’s tower crane leasing business in China has started and will move into full swing this year. We think there could be more activity in China over the coming year.

Construction Sector

The construction sector is looking very interesting from a few perspectives. Seven consecutive years of activity decline has led to a shake-out of the weaker players while those who had stayed have reinvented themselves to become stronger than ever. Some of the survivors have diversified into property development and other related activities and have been transformed into fast-growing companies. Three dynamics of change have given us reason to be positive on the outlook for the companies in the sector: a) Uptrend in construction activity. Besides the deluge of projects in residential property, there are large-scale projects that will drive activity in the sector, including the upcoming integrated resorts (IRs), Business & Financial Centre (BFC) and Orchard Road development projects. This will keep construction activity buzzing for the next few years. b) Successful transformation into developers. Many construction companies have transformed themselves into Integrated Property Developers (IPDs), integrating their core competence in construction with the very closely related field of property development. These IPDs have been more successful than their pure construction peers, making their mark as more efficient property developer companies and enjoying higher ROEs. c) Successful manager-entrepreneurs behind these companies. The successful makeover of these companies have enabled them to weather the prolonged decline in construction activity. However, being some of the most active construction companies in recent years, they will be key beneficiaries as the industry starts to pick up. Our selection of five construction stocks features companies that have experienced these trends. Among these are Chip Eng Seng, Sim Lian, SoilBuild and Low Keng Huat, four successful IPDs with good quality management/entrepreneurs behind them. UE is the only purer construction/engineering company in our stock selection list. Chip Eng Seng (BUY/S$0.375/Target: S$0.43). Overall most active general contractor. Most active in private residential and Housing and Development Board (HDB) residential projects. Has transformed itself into an IPD by partnering large foreign funds. Key projects: Unnamed project at Devonshire, Venturo (Balmoral). Low Keng Huat (BUY/S$1.19/Target: S$2.04). Historically the most active general contractor in the commercial segment. Has transformed itself into an IPD through partnerships with other property developers. Strong balance sheet with no long-term debt. Key projects: Domain 21 (Delta), Regency Suites (Kim Tian). Sim Lian Group (HOLD/S$0.45). Third most active contractor in the private residential and HDB residential segments. Distinguishes itself as the first mover into the Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) HDB scheme. Key projects: Viz (Holland), Lincolnsvale (Surrey). Soilbuild Group Holdings (HOLD/S$0.77). Successful IPD transformation through tight financial management and strong integrated design and build capabilities. Key project: One Tree Hill (Grange), Leonie Parc View (Leonie Hill). United Engineers (BUY/S$2.59/Target: S$3.42). Overall second most active general contractor with strength in both private residential and public residential projects.
