Dear readers, as the oil prices move higher and higher, I could not help but think of one stock sector: airline stocks. Why? Well, if oil prices go up then it will mean an increase in cost to airlines. Thus, investors vested in airline stocks need to take note on how increasing oil prices mean to airlines stocks.

Dear readers, as you would have known by now, Hyflux stock has been suspended for reasons which I would not repeat here as these are well-publicized in the news. To be frank, I am not too surprised at the development of Hyflux since I have already noticed that this company has quite a lot of debt: $1.56 billion for the latest figure. Hyflux, in my opinion seems to be a highly-leveraged company, taking on quite some high debts to fund its ambitious growth. In light of the high debt, I have not invested in Hyflux before.

Dear readers, there were two comments by readers on SSI's Facebook Page which I thought I will reply via a post here as this could benefit more readers. First, in response to an earlier post, a reader suggested that one could buy a diversified Reit like Lions Phillip Reit to even diversify further the risks afforded by a single Reit. While this thinking is laudable, I will think that this will also make returns smaller as compared to a focused approach on one Reit. Also, if the risks are such that they affect Reits as a whole like rising interest rates, then similarly the brunt on a diversified Reit will be effected.

Dear readers, DBS Vicker has a "Buy" call on this stock with a potential upside of 31.2%.

Dear readers, if you have noticed, oil prices have rebounded and is trending up. But if you take a look at whether this positive development has cascaded to oil-related and energy stocks to head up price-wise; the result would be a mixed picture. Not all energy stocks related to oil have benefited from the oil rally; only some did. The reason is simple: many of these oil stocks were highly leveraged and had or have high debts even till now. Hence even if the oil industry outlook bodes well, the fundamentals of some of these oil stocks would serve as deterrent for investors.

I was reading what an investment analyst said at a recent Reits forum in the free daily newspapers yesterday when Reits came back to my mind. According to the analyst, local Reits have reached a saturation point in terms of growth and Reits with overseas exposure could benefit from the seemingly more growth prospects overseas. The investment analyst highlighted that the growth prospects for overseas Reits need not come at the expense of investment risk and what needs to be done is education of investors towards overseas Reits in terms of understanding risks.

Dear readers, ever since year 2008/2009, the financial stocks markets have not undergone a major correction. Ever since then, it has been around eight years of bull-run for the stocks markets.

And there are already many theories put out on the internet by a plethora of financial experts, each giving their take on when the next major corrections for the global stocks markets will occur.

Dear readers, let us watch below for what the analyst has to say about crude palm oil prices before you invest in your next energy stocks.

Dear readers, it has been a long time since I last shared with readers on my reading of the stocks markets. My current take on the stocks markets is that beside some uptick in oil prices, there are not many positive catalysts on the macro front to drive the markets higher. Against this backdrop, company-specific earnings reports will continue to drive the prices of some stocks though eventually the effects arising from any good earnings reports will still take cue from the broader markets.

Dear readers, US President Donald Trump announced at 2pm 8 May 2018 (US time) while many of us were asleep that US would pull out of the Iran nuclear agreement and to impose “powerful” economic sanctions on Teheran. Oil prices did not rally after Trump’s announcement though there was some price volatility in oil prices before the announcement. Analysts thought that pretty much, the above move has already been earlier factored in the recent higher oil prices by traders and more importantly, Iranian oil production would unlikely be impacted by US pulling out of the agreement unless Donald Trump can convince other allies to reimpose sanctions.
