Credit Consolidation Loans Turn Bad

In: Investment Diary

Bad credit consolidation loans may happen due to various reasons. A person must always be responsible to his or her actions. Once you have bills to be paid, pay it as regular people do. Try to manage your financial problems in credit card debts by tracing your finances every time you go out. Make a list on where you spend your money and make sure you have enough savings to pay them in your account.
For some, bad credit consolidation loans might be due to a person’s lack of control in spending, especially in purchasing items not needed. Shopping anywhere can be easy once you have your credit card in your hands. You can indulge yourself in a shopping spree 24/7, knowing you will be able to pay your bills over time. You posses that carefree attitude and continue on shopping anytime. Once your credit card bill has arrived, you will be surprised to see a month’s payment turns out to be almost a year’s amount of debt. Now this is the part where you feel guilty of all the selfless pleasure you went through, and then ponder on a solution on how to pay your credit card bills on time. For some, it may be caused by an accident or an unpredictable medical emergency that can sweep one’s saving down the drain in a blink of an eye.

I have seen so many articles about Best Cities to live…etc, each comparison is different from one another. I have always wanted to write something about this, as I had lived in Asia, Australia, North America and Europe over the past 10 years.
My method is always the same “Cost of Living Cost ve Living Standard Index”, this means: Higher Cost of Living does not mean Higher Quality of life.
Therefore, the optimal place will be “Low Living Cost and High Quality of Living”
Is this possible? Yes, I think so, as I have lived in some places which have affordable living cost, yet the quality is pretty good, it’s all comes down to comparisons, let me go through some cities.
Asia:
Generally speaking, the quality of life in Asia is worse than in the west, living cost can also be much higher. People simply work work work and never stop, plus bad traffic, bad pollution and no place for kids to play, therefore, I do not rate Asia highly in terms of “Good Places to Live”, and other reports seem to conform with this. I had lived in Taiwan, some parts of China and Hong Kong; living costs there including China are very high because of the large population, and living in cramped apartments; Hong Kong has very good salary, but the cost of living is just so high! Cost of food is reasonable in most parts of Asia, but utilities can be very high, and transportation cost is especially high, cars in Asia can generally be twice more expensive than USA.

My Trading Diary - 25 June 2009

In: Investment Diary

I had an excellent trading day so far – with Lion Selection finally received a merger / takeover deal- the stock rallied 20% yesterday, which added a nice profit to my portfolio. As expected, the US market had a mixed rally, my positions on Nasdaq had also reported good profit – and I had taken the market weakness to add more stocks yesterday and the day before including:

Thomas Su Diary - 31 May 2009

It certainly feels economy is rebounding, judged by the way people are feeling (Investors and Consumers Sentiment) despite of the fact that many are still fearing unemployment problems. With USD now falling, a number of sectors are certainly worth watching and follow - gold, as we know are almost always trading opposite to USD, and we have seen a lot of money flowing from USD into gold.
But other commodtities are also benefiting, whether we will go back to the crazy commodities days will be very much dependent on China’s demand. But because of the commodities’ recovery, countries such as Australia and Canada are also set to benefit because of their richeness in resources. We have already seen AUD recovering from low of 62c this year to 80c last night, making it one of the best performing currencies worldwde.
As we have also seen, commodities stocks have also rebounded strongly especially last 4 weeks, and we hope this will continue.

It’s interesting to read announcements from the “Old WOrld” and “New World”, banks, retailers are all reporting huge losses, and these seems to be no end to it. Saks, one of US’s major upper end retailers just reported a quarterly loss, which shows that recession has a bigger impact on luxury or upper end markets. The same can be said about David Jones in Australia, which has announced as the result, it will start focus to younger consumer markets who basically care much less about recession.

This is an important trend to watch - and makes a lot of difference when comes to investments. One of the good reasons why Apple is doing well is its target market is at relatively younger consumer markets - and the young consumer markets also have a much higher representation in terms of workforce in IT and E-Commerce and Media industries - many are still hiring, so they are getting less impacted - and also, the lower home ownership which means they are not being impacted by the foreclosure.

It has been a rather mixed week in global equities market as well as the Australian market. The inevitable collapse of Chrysler and GM in US are very predicted, but a very interesting observation and comment by analysts is that the car sales have been doing quite well last few months because of the big discounts, and consumers now know the companies will be bankrupted but will remain trading and still supported by the Government during the restructure process, in the way, this has helped the auto industries in the US market.  Quite a few fund managers are now predicting the worst is over, one even mentioned the US market will soar by 88% in 3 years time, let’s certainly hope so - and looks like commodities and AUD have also picked up – I still find it amazing that the same people who said AUD will hit 40c by June are the same people who are now saying AUD will hit 80c in June!  Now, in Australian market, let us look at a number of highlights:

This morning, I had a quick chat with my friends about gaming stocks - are they really defensive stocks?
I have lost some money back in 2002, from companies like Consolidated Gaming Group and Betcorp – Betcorp (I think that was the company name) was doing quite well, profitable business even was paying 5% dividend yield, but regulations changed and online gaming was banned in many US States, the company was closed after a month.

Governments around the world tend to be more anti-gaming, in Japan, for instance, they had introduced new levies which had impacted on Aristocrat’s share price in the past - in uncertain times or when the government is seeking extra tax - they usually increase tax on gaming companies or alcohol levies.

Emerging markets are where the money is for gaming markets , but China is highly regulated, and other emerging markets have their own big economic problems.

Search For Super-Dividend Yielders

In: Investment Diary

Here are some very interesting findings from our Dividend Search Report:
The first 3 “Super Yield Stocks”
GPT (27.5% Yield), Duet Group (20.4%) and MIG (19.5%) - all sound good? But the likelihood their dividend will be slashed or even cancelled is also very high - although they are tarding at historical low P/E - until their next announcements are coming out - their profit may disappear or even into  a loss!
Also high on our list is Macquarie Group, whic appears around 18.8% yield if they can really pay the dividend they have stated.
But some other companies in a less risky areas are also on the agenda - Tabcorp is there at around 14.8% based on the price of $6.38, which could go higher considering it had just completed a placement which could send share price lower once they are issued.
David Jones, although facing poor retail trading, the dividend is very high as well, almost 10%, hope they can maintain it.
Surprisingly, I also found Orica, a fertiliser company there with around 9% and Aristocrat, the gaming technology companies with around 8.5% yield if they can maintain them.
