The purpose of this blog is to entertain by providing, I hope, witty, critical and acerbic analysis of companies’ strategies, financials, and management. In particular to analyse the difference between what managers say they are doing, and the truth.
Just so everyone is clear where I am coming from — I analyse and write from the perspective of a small investor who tries to invest in “special situations”: unfashionable companies that are experiencing change in their returns due to internal factors, such as restructuring, or external factors, like industry changes. Or whose high, consistent dividend payouts are ignored by the the market. Trading is not my style.
As I do not hold any adviser’s licence, I will have take care to ensure that no-one can complain that I am giving advice. And please do not ask for advice on market conditions or stocks.

An interesting piece of gossip from a reliable source: Chen Show Mao gave a fantastic speech at the Fulbright Annual Dinner a few days ago. Unfortunately the 30 minute discussion advertised at the start of the evening did not happen.
After giving his speech (which he had stored on a very elegant iPad with WP-blue cover), Show Mao immediately excused himself. The emcee said Show Mao had taken ill and had to leave.
Hope Show Mao’s health is okay as he is one of the smarter chaps in the Singapore Parliament.
[...] tenuous explanation given concerning Mr Chen Show Mao’s parliamentary speech. (According to Cynical Investor it’s Mr Pritam Singh). Copy and paste may be common practice nowadays but is it OK to do it [...]
Can you advise your email address?thanks
