It is the name of the game. If you can borrow, just max it out.

This bond is a sure sell. Why ?

Because they are paying a high commission for the private and retail bankers to get it off or you should be seeing a coupon of 5.8% ?

Small company with market cap SGD 175 mio which is all about valuation, I suppose. And its income statement is a good lesson for financial analysis.

Here is a company with an erratic revenue stream with 2011 being their best year for revenues. Their operating income in 2012 is about half of 2011 but their bottom line looks fantastic for this Net Non Operating Gains.  Shareholders and bondholders certainly do need ALOT  of this Net Non Operating Gains going ahead if market sales slow.

On the bright side, Singaporeans are snapping up overseas properties in London and Bangkok so its a good sign that demand is healthy. Reports out of Asiaone and PR Newswire today.

Verdict : I don’t know what to say.
