Exit Centurion@$0.54...

My last blog I mentioned I've entered Centurion which I have recently sold off, but at 1 bid higher than my cost price. Due to the amount I put in (which indicates the confidence I had but did not pan out as I wish); I made a small profit of around $200 (mind you, my brokerage earns more than me, buy & sell cost close to $500)...

Still my indicators showed slowing momentum, & price did not move higher (until I sold, common phenomenon hor?), but price did not close higher than my exit price. Thus may be wise to exit also... Coming quarter results will interests me alot, I will want to see how much the finance charge affects coming results & also how its new investments will contribute to its top line...

Let's see if there would be a Santa Claus rally & January effect this year...
Happy trading everyone, most likely my next blog will be in 2015 when I do my bi-monthly & yearly review together...

May the trend be with you...

2014 September-October Review

2014 September-October Review

I've escaped the stock markets rout between mid-September to mid-October and entered 2 trades slightly late in the last 2 weeks. One was Global Yellow Pages which I closed today when the counter shot up 10% for no reasons (SGX queried, company replied not aware of any developments, thus really no reasons!). The other is Centurion which I am still holding, both entered partly due to technicals & mostly due to the insiders trade.

For Global Yellow Pages, a long white candle (today's 3/11/14 price movement) tends to be more bullish, as buying momentum may increase; still I am a "messed up" investor with trader person. My fundamentals angel is screaming at me to take profit, especially the price now exceeding the "conservative" NAV which I derives by removing intangible assets of $51 million out of $168 million of total assets, which is about 1/3, bearing in mind the company is still losing money in past quarter. Thus its 7.71cent as of 3 Sept 14, Q1FY2015 report is really worth 5.1 cent (2/3 x 7.71cent).

While its still higher than 4.8cent the closing price today, I am not a greedy person; I rather run now then to wait for it to fall. Unless there is a takeover, which may sparks more interests; but fundamentally I think its time to take profit. I might have left some money on the table, but well... "treats or tricks!"
