Have you checked your windows lately? I have. And on top of that I am also going to clean the windows too as month end approaches.
Window dressing candidates? Will the following worst performing STI component stocks (source: Bloomberg) see window dressing as 2Q11 come to an end?
If there's window dressing on the worst performers, our chartist's top BUY picks amongst the 10 stocks are:
CapitaLand (CAPL SP S$2.87)
The stock has been falling within its downtrend channel since hitting a high of S$4.23.
Both its MACD and RSI are moving out of an oversold position, possibly suggesting that there could be a strong rebound ahead.
As prices are in a steep downtrend, only aggressive traders should jump in to buy. Risk management should be placed below the recent low of S$2.75 or below the downtrend channel support at S$2.68. If this is indeed a strong rebound, prices are likely to rise towards S$3.04 and S$3.18 next. Only a breakout above S$3.18 would signal that the trend has changed.
City Developments (CIT SP S$10.24)
Despite prices taking out the March low, we see a possible rebound taking place here.
The MACD is slowly flattening out, forming a potential bullish divergence signal while its RSI has hooked upwards from an oversold position.
Prices could potentially fall below the S$10.00 but would likely be weak. If prices can stay above the support trend line at S$9.95 then it is likely to retest S$11.34 and S$11.96 on its next leg higher. Anything above S$10.82 would likely confirm that the rebound is taking place.
Fraser & Neave (FNN SP S$5.61)
The stock appears to be trading in a lower to sideways manner, potentially forming a triangle.
Both its momentum indicators appear to be flattening out, possibly suggesting that the selling could be slowing down.
The stock is likely to remain in a triangle pattern as long as prices remain above S$5.25. Minor support is the recent swing low at S$5.45. Investors can accumulate on weakness and if prices push past the S$5.78 levels, then prices have a good chance of testing S$6.13 and S$6.35 on the next upswing.

Sector Call
Property: Iskandar – a step forward Overweight (Under Review)
Sector Update
¨ A joint statement between the Government of Malaysia and Singapore was released yesterday.
¨ A 50:50 M-S JV (Pulau Indah) will undertake two developments in Iskandar
Urban Wellness development in Medini North and the Resort Wellness development in Medini Central, with a total area of 215 acres. The development will have an estimated GDV of RM3bn (GFA 1.37m sqm).
We believe UEMLD will benefit indirectly as the progress has shown greater confidence from the Singapore government, which should encourage more investments from other Singapore corporations to make Iskandar a success.
Another booster will be the remaining 285 acres of the project.

S’pore—Johor rapid transit link by 2018

SINGAPORE: The Singapore and Malaysian governments plan to open a rapid transit link between the city—state and the neighbouring city of Johor Bahru in Malaysia’s south by 2018, both governments said in a joint statement on Monday.
" The terminating stations of the (rapid transit system) link will be in the vicinity of JB Sentral, Johor Bahru and in the vicinity of Republic Polytechnic, Singapore," the statement said.
" It is targeted that the RTS link will be operational by 2018. The RTS link will have a co—located (customs, immigration and quarantine) facility in Singapore and another co—located CIQ facility in Johor Bahru so that commuters need to clear immigration only once for each way of travel."
The announcement comes as Malaysia and Singapore officially sealed the Points of Agreement (POA) on Malayan railway land in Singapore.
The signing ceremony took place in Putrajaya, Malaysia on Monday.
Foreign Minister K Shanmugam signed on behalf of Singapore while Malaysia’s side was represented by the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Nor Mohamed Yakcop.
The signing officially marks an end to year—long negotiations on implementation details that kickstarted following the landmark announcement of the POA breakthrough by the prime ministers of both countries in May 2010.
The joint statement by the prime ministers of Singapore and Malaysia said that preparations for the relocation of Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) from Tanjong Pagar to the Woodlands Train Checkpoint on July 1 are on track.
A joint venture company, called M+S Pte Ltd, and Iskandar JV Company will be established by Thursday.
M+S will develop the four land parcels in Marina South as an integrated development and the two land parcels in Ophir—Rochor, also as an integrated development.
Iskandar JV will undertake two wellness developments in Iskandar Malaysia.
In addition, Khazanah and Temasek will jointly consider other potential developments which are commercially viable in Iskandar Malaysia of up to 500 acres of land, inclusive of the said 215 acres.
Also on schedule is the implementation of the work plan to hand over the waterworks under the 1961 Water Agreement by Singapore free of charge and as a matter of goodwill after the expiry of the agreement on 31 August 2011.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong expressed appreciation and satisfaction on the work done by the ministers and officials in achieving the historic breakthrough in the POA.
Both prime ministers also reiterated their commitments towards further strengthening bilateral relations.
They noted that the resolution of the POA would pave the way for the two countries to explore new areas of cooperation.

Revamp land tender system
Letter from Ee Teck Siew
THE Government is currently ramping up its release of land to address escalating property prices.
It is estimated that approximately 53,000 units will be on the market, representing three times the current annual demand, and property analysts expect it to take years to clear this excess.
Perhaps the Ministry of National Development needs to review the current method of maximising land sale revenue. Land cost constitutes the highest component in the price of a property, as the Government sells land based on market value and market prices have been skyrocketing.
So, even if the Government releases a bumper crop of land now, these plots are expected to be sold at current market value which are pegged to prevailing market prices.
In other words, such land is to be sold in the high range, so it eventually ends up in the high price bracket when the property is sold.
It was reported that a plot of land at Alexandra Road is estimated to be sold at S$800 to S$850 per sq ft (psf) in a tender and the break-even price for the property developers could be around S$1,300 psf or higher.
This means the price of property built on land tendered today will continue to stay high a few years in the future.
If not, no developer will bid and the Government will have to stop the supply and the shortage problem will persist.
How can property prices fall or reach equilibrium if the property developer has no choice but to sell above the breakeven price?
The Government could consider awarding the land to the highest bidder, who would then pay based on the lowest bidder’s price or the comparable land cost which the Government awarded in the past — on condition that the selling price of the completed unit be adjusted downward for the land price difference between the highest and the lowest bid, when the completed units are sold to Singapore citizens.
This will not put developers at a disadvantage while ensuring sufficient supply of land to meet the demand.
There is no denying that in land scarce Singapore, property prices will have to go north but the Government has a duty to ensure that prices grow at a sustainable pace.

Who pays for whom, in a greying world
My father-in-law fell ill recently and although not life-threatening, it led my wife and I to consider for the first time that one day, our families might have to take priority over our careers.Shock of Gray, in which he explores what he calls the “most important issue facing the human race”.
Paul Gilfeather
gilfeather@mediacorp.com.sg
Mr Fishman is in town this week to deliver two lectures at the National University of Singapore’s Asia Research Institute.
He spoke to me before setting off from his home in Chicago and I asked him about the potential fall-out from economic migration in reverse as people drop out of the job market to care for elderly relatives.
He said: “The huge unseen cost of this whole thing is when people step out of their high-value job, serving maybe hundreds of thousands of people every day, to serve just one person in your family for a lower wage. It puts you in a completely different economy. And if you multiply this by what would need to happen in a society that is ageing overall, you are literally removing a huge chunk of the work force.”
He went on: “Human beings have lived for seven thousand generations.
For all but six of those we have lived for the same amount of time, which was pretty short. So now for the very first time we are dealing with this huge expansion of human life. It is the very first minute of unprecedented change.”
Mr Fishman points out that as humans we are “hardwired” not to tackle the question of how long we will live — which has resulted in a short supply of solutions.
“In the developed world we have added two-and-a-half years to the average longevity of a person every decade,” he said. “People have just not planned for it because they live in the current snapshot, which is the age our parents have gotten to when in fact, we are reaching far beyond that.
“My grandfather died in 1980 but, based on the average, I have another 10 years on that. That is very hard to compute in the public spirit when you are considering your own lifespan.”
ECONOMIC POWER WITHIN FAMILIES
In his book, Mr Fishman talks about Singapore’s changes to the law made in 1999 which allow parents to sue their children for financial support.
Here, we have one of the lowest fertility rates in the world — just 1.28 — and this, combined with population ageing and shrinking dependency ratios, have resulted in the problem being particularly pertinent.
“This issue puts a huge strain on families. In Asia you have this interesting split in the way economic power is controlled within families,” he said.
“If you look at the leading-edge economies which had the big boost and expansion before the others, like Japan, the older generation has the economic keys to the family.
They own the house, which is more than likely worth more than the lifetime earnings of the children.
They have the great pension plans.
And when you have a situation like that, when the older generations have the economic power, it changes the way their children act.
“Their children tend to postpone marriage, they tend to stay close to home and they tend to have fewer kids because they feel the need to stay close to their parents in order to have access to that economic store.
“But when you get to the more recent ascending economies, like China, the children have the power.
So what happens is the children are the leading-edge urban migrants, they move on, they put their flag in the rising economy and they benefit from it.
“But what happens is, you have millions of core parents that they have been left behind. The children send money home for a while, then it stops. Then the parents are the ones who have to ingratiate themselves with their offspring.
They work their way to the city, they offer themselves as unpaid child minders, they leave their friends and their social networks.
They give up 10 years of their lives as care-givers in the hope that their adult children will eventually take care of them, but it does not always happen.
“If you look around the world in middle-income and above countries, the transfer of money from parents to children is far greater than the public transfer of funds from young workers to retirees in the public sector.
“So you have these two flows of money. One is the private flow that happens in families from older to younger, then you have the public flow that goes from younger to older which goes to pay for national health services or pensions.
Overwhelmingly the money flow has favoured the private flow from older to younger but as people are adding 10 or 15 years to their lifetimes, they are going to be saving over their lives much differently.
“They may feel less generous to their children and then you have to start thinking: Does this change policy? It may have to result in some kind of official redistribution of income through public mechanisms to redress the balance.
“These are the kinds of questions that we have to face up to.”
Shock of Gray
How do we live longer? is insightful and thought-provoking, throwing some much-need light on the question:

It is an issue hundreds of thousands of professionals the world over are being faced with. And it is just one of several problems tied to the bigger question of how society will cope with the world’s rapidly ageing population.
The current global population of 6.7 billion is expected to hit 9.1 billion by 2050. By that time one billion people will be 65 of older and, for the first time, the number of people over 50 will be greater than those under 17.

Marsiling hit by dengue
A worker carries out fumigation
SINGAPORE: A rarely—seen type of dengue — DEN—3 — has hit the Marsiling area with more than 60 cases reported as of Friday.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) said residents may have little or no immunity against the infection, leading to quicker dengue transmission.
However, it added there is no sign for alarm that this form of dengue is spreading to the rest of the island.
The Marsiling area has seen two clusters of dengue transmission recently, with the first detected at Marsiling Rise on April 21.
The second cluster detected on May 19 is also the largest so far this year.
NEA has since stepped up control measures, including dispatching 70 officers to carry out mass operations to search and destroy potential breeding habitats.
The agency has also roped in various partners, including Sembawang Town Council and the National Parks Board to get rid of larvae.
A Marsiling resident told Channel NewsAsia he welcomed the increased monitoring.
Property agent Allen Lee recently contracted dengue along with other members of his family.
Mr Lee, his daughter as well as his domestic worker were affected for the first time.
" My daughter’s platelets count dropped tremendously and she was feeling nauseous. She couldn’t eat at all (and) was hospitalised at Mt Alvernia (while) my domestic maid was hospitalised at Tan Tock Seng CDC.
" The sad part was my wife had to do all the running (around) because three of us were down," he said.
NEA is also advising residents to be alert to any potential mosquito breeding areas in their homes.
The agency said enforcement action will be taken against all parties found breeding the Aedes mosquitoes.
Meanwhile, Mr Lee said he has also taken his own measures.
" My domestic worker has been taught... how to check for breeding (in places)... like pots of plants.
" I think the rest of the residents here have to be well—informed and also to do their part as a community," he said.
