Once bitten , twice shy. Long term investment (especially in US companies) is not in GIC's card any more. They better sell now rather than be sorry later on. In veiw of the depareciating US$ value, they are not making much , arent they?

SINGAPORE - The Government of Singapore Investment Corp (GIC) said on Tuesday it has cut its stake in Citigroup to below 5 per cent through open market sales.

GIC held more than 9 per cent of Citi on Sept 11, when it converted its preference shares in the U.S. bank to ordinary shares at $3.25 per share.

'A stake below 5 per cent reflects GIC's goals and desire to be a portfolio investor,' the Singapore sovereign wealth fund said in a statement.

'GIC will continue its investment in Citigroup as we are confident of its long-term prospects,' it added.

Yes, in sigapore, i think shopping malls are nice place to hang out with (will die without them) , but, not many people bother about its share price. LOL! When asked where is capital asia mall, some people still dont know where is it.

thomas_low ( Date: 26-Nov-2009 23:06) Posted:

Likely to hold? Asian consumers are buying more, mall is part of daily life, rental will go up in the near and mid term, so may stay or rise with temporary dip due to people selling off odd lots allocated to them. Institution may suck up these lots and then the price will move.

More singapore listed China companies are looking to privatise . Could this be happening in singapore listed China companies? See below-

- (dated back in March 2009)

* funds seeking deals to help privatise listed firms

* late 2008 or early 2009 will be good for China dealmaking

* wary of super cheap deals hiding risks (For more Reuters DEALTALKs, click [DEALTALK/]

By George Chen, Asia Private Equity Correspondent

SHANGHAI, March 17 (Reuters) - China-focused private capital funds, once eager to help Chinese companies go public, are now more interested in listed firms which have the potential to be privatised at a low cost, dealmakers said on Tuesday.

Public listings on international stock markets and trade sales of private capital-backed companies used to be two of the most popular options used by private equity and venture capital funds to exit their investments.

However, the global investment landscape has changed greatly in the past year due to the financial crisis as many companies had to delay or cancel their plans for initial public offerings.

To some Chinese entrepreneurs whose companies went public in early 2008 before IPOs completely dried up, listings were not a happy experience either as the share prices of such firms have mostly fallen below their IPO levels.

"Some entrepreneurs are now planning to privatise their listed companies as they don't have the heart to see continuous falls in share prices below a reasonable level they can accept," said Sequoia Capital's founding China partner Neil Shen.

Shirley Chen, a managing director of China International Capital Corp (CICC), said her firm has been looking at several small- and mid-sized listed companies with potential for privatisation this year.

She did not name any companies but noted it could be a good opportunity now to work with entrepreneurs to delist their companies from second-board markets such as the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange.

"Second-board markets in London or Singapore are too small for some Chinese companies. After IPOs in these markets, it will be really difficult for these firms to raise additional funds from these markets particularly in bad times," said Chen, who is also the head of private equity at CICC.

Chen noted privatisation of listed companies would cost less now due to cheaper share prices, and trade sales when companies grow bigger can be an exit option for funds.

CICC is China's first investment banking joint venture, in which Morgan Stanley (MS.N) holds a 34.3 percent stake.

WHEN TO INVEST?

"Share prices of some listed companies fell very sharply in the past year, so we should be happy to make investments now from the perspective of private equity funds," Chen said. Continued...

"One goal is to help these firms to delist and we can offer loans to entrepreneurs to buy back shares or we can work with them together to buy out their companies," she added.

Even after gaining 20 percent this year, the benchmark Shanghai Composite index .SSEC is down 64 from its October 2007 peak.

Jing Huang, managing director of Bain Capital, also said privatisation of listed Chinese firms provided a good investment opportunity. However, he warned many Chinese entrepreneurs disliked private equity investors interfering with their management and business.

Speaking at an industry forum on Tuesday, Sequoia's Shen and CICC's Chen said late this year or early next year may be the best time to start to make China deals when valuations settle down.

But they also said they would not invest in companies whose prices look "too cheap to be true".

"I always believe if a company offers you a price that is incredibly low, for instance, some companies that ask for price-earnings ratio of 4 times or even 3 times, there must be a reason behind that you probably don't know," said CICC's Chen.

"We are still in the financial crisis so we must be extremely cautious," she added. (Editing by Lincoln Feast)

Dow hits new '09 high ahead of holiday

Both the blue-chip average and the S&P 500 end at 13-month peaks after reports show improvement in labor market, new home sales and consumer spending.

By Alexandra Twin, CNNMoney.com senior writer

Last Updated: November 25, 2009: 5:44 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks climbed Wednesday in a thinly-traded session ahead of Thanksgiving, as investors welcomed a bigger-than-expected drop in weekly jobless claims.

All financial markets are closed Thursday for the holiday, while Friday brings an abbreviated session for stocks. Some market pros will make a five-day weekend of the period.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) rose 31 points, or 0.3%, ending at a fresh 13-month high. The S&P 500 (SPX) rose 5 points, or 0.5%, and also finished at a fresh 13-month high.

The Nasdaq composite (COMP) rose 7 points, or 0.3%, closing short of a 13-month high.

Because of the holiday, all the week's news was jammed into the first three days, with nothing on the docket Friday.

The combination of a three-day onslaught of economic news and some pre-holiday wariness was keeping investors from moving much Wednesday, said John Canally, economist at LPL Financial.

"If we had gotten the jobless claims report only, stocks would be up more," said Canally. "But investors are in a data overload this week and it's only going to continue next week."

Next week is a doozy, with reports due on manufacturing, auto sales, housing and the labor market.

Monday's trading will be heavily influenced by how the holiday shopping period kicks off. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday, the first work day after the holiday, are critical barometers for the health of the consumer at the start of the biggest shopping period of the year.

Most economists believe the recession is over. Yet rampant joblessness, lower household income and personal wealth, and a still-tight lending environment should temper the benefit of retailers' discounts.

Overall spending is expected to hit a range of between 1% lower than a year ago and 1.5% higher. Canally said that it's likely to hit the higher end of that range.

Wall Street ended Tuesday's choppy session lower as investors retreated from 13-month highs hit the day before.

Jobs: New claims for unemployment posted a surprisingly large tumble last week, falling to 466,000, a 14-month low. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com thought claims would drop to 500,000 from a revised 501,000 the previous week.

Continuing claims, a measure of Americans who have been receiving benefits for a week or more, fell to 5,423,000 from a revised 5,613,000 the previous week. Economists expected 5,565,000 claims.

New home sales: Sales rose to a 430,000 annual unit rate in October from a 405,000 unit rate in September. Economists expected sales to dip to a 404,000 annual unit rate.

Income and spending: Personal income and spending climbed in October, according to a Commerce Department report released in the morning.

Income rose 0.2% after rising 0.2% in September. Economists thought it would rise 0.1%, according to Briefing.com estimates. Spending was up 0.7% after falling 0.6% in the previous month.

A separate report showed that orders for durable goods fell 0.6% in October, surprising economists who were expecting orders to rise 0.5%. Orders for goods meant to last three years or more gained 2% in September.

World markets: Global markets advanced. In Europe, London's FTSE 100, Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 all gained modestly. Asian markets ended higher.

Currency and commodities: The dollar slipped against the euro and gained versus the yen.

The weaker dollar boosted dollar-traded gold, which hit a new record.

COMEX gold for December delivery rose $21.20 to a record settlement of $1,187 an ounce. Gold hit $1192.80 during the session, moving ever closer to the $1200 mark.

U.S. light crude oil for January delivery rose $1.94 to settle at $77.96 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Bonds: Treasury prices rose, lowering the yield on the 10-year note to 3.26% from 3.30% Tuesday. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

Market breadth was positive and volume was light. On the New York Stock Exchange, winners topped losers two to one on volume of 800 million shares. On the Nasdaq, decliners beat advancers seven to six on volume of 1.42 billion shares.

Put aside religious, X'mas is a season to be JOYFUL. Its the only time where lights are everywhere especially Orchard road and it is an 'excuse' to CELEBRATE. Commercialise though it may sound, but, regardless of race / religious, just immerse oneself into this beautiful night scene when one walking along the whole stretch of orchard road in the night anytime from now....
