The bloodbath today in the STI market has given everyone plenty of things to think about. However, in the midst of a red market, I managed to divest my holdings in Noel Gifts International at a price of $0.34, a 15% gain from the entry price. This was on the back of an experiment done…

I received a lot of email request asking me on my thoughts about the recent short seller reports that plunged Silverlake to 26% down a single day before it was halted.

Kingsmen Creative had recently announced their Q2 FY15 results and I used these opportunities in recent times to average down on the shares after maidenly buying their shares about a month ago (you can view here).
