I was having lunch with my friend yesterday when he mentioned about the phrase. It has become such a big movement in China that Chinese government decided to ban the word 躺平 on internet for fear of young people giving up hope of working hard for the betterment of themselves and country. Young people in China exhausted by a culture of hard work with seemingly little reward are highlighting the need for a lifestyle change by "lying flat". There is a growing trend of social underclass among young adult. Young adult around the world especially those working in big cites are resign to their destiny even if they work hard for a zillion years, they can never afford the house and nice thing in life with money they earned. They have little wage left over at the end of the month after paying rent and daily expenses. The yellow umbrella movement in HK started by young people has the same sort of angst. A lot of young people can’t see a future. I am sympathetic with situation face by man...

Lone Wolf Fund(LWF) Portfolio as at end of June 2021. 1.)  Nam Lee Pressed Metal 2.)  Pico Far East (hk.0752) 3.) Rex International (punter’s bowl) 4.) Cash *Stocks are not rank in accordance to capital invested .  *Just for sharing. Not an inducement to buy or sell. Commentary   STI index has the distinction of the worst performing market in June. Index is down just slightly under 3 percent. It is puzzling given the fact other markets like Kospi and the S&P 500 are making new highs in June. The underperformance shown by STI is shockingly glaring. The market sentiment turned decisively negative towards the end of the month. I suspect the heavy cash call and rights issue by some TLC(Temasek Link companies) taking a toll on investors sentiment. Dark days continue for investors of TLCs. I continue to stay clear of most TLCs which are facing falling profit from unprecedented disruption from all front. With only old economy companies making up STI index. Future look b...

Pico Far East had just reported first half profit of HKD 58m, an increase of 138% compare to HKD 24m last year. EPS came in at HKD 4.65c. The result is commendable given the challenges facing mice sector where hosting physical events had become difficult due to lockdown and social distancing. Greater China especially mainland China contribute to the recovery as more events are held in China post covid lockdown. Southeast Asia market continue to be weak due to covid 19 hampering recovery in physical events held.  Greater China now account for over 60 percent in revenue. The management is cautiously optimistic with general recovery from covid 19 but they did warn of recovery been gradual. I estimate they will be doing a better second half due to bigger contracts fulfilment for Oman museum,Tokyo Olympic Games and Dubai Expo which happens to be the biggest contact win in their history since their participation in Expo from 1988. China mice sector recovery continues to hold amid margin...

Lone Wolf Investor interest rate watch officially start this week . Recently Fed Chairperson Jerome Powell had indicated interest rate increase might move forward from the previous communicated timeline of 2024 due to better than expected employment numbers and rising inflation.

  As mention in my OTS  review , 1m public tranche doesn’t go very far in term of retail allocation. The public tranche is 233x over subscribed (A record for IPO this year) If one did applied for the IPO, you have about 1 in 10 chance of getting 1k-10k shares depending on how many shares you applied.. Most people will be going home empty handed losing their 2 dollars IPO ATM fees which can be use to partially offset the purchase of their luncheon meat for lunch. Good luck to those who had been allocated.  Please follow us on telegram for the latest update on Lone Wolf investor by clicking on the link below  https://t.me/joinchat/oCgkD3sQFRMzMWM1 Disclaimers   All investments is highly speculative in nature and involves substantial risk of loss.

(Tower after tower of steamers) (Staffs hard at work making AKK) Ji Xiang Ang Ku Kueh(AKK) has been around for more than 30 years. It was started out by Mr. Toh and wife in Everton Park in 1988. I was introduced to their Kueh Kueh by my ex colleague Vincent. I had been buying their hand made Ang Ku Kueh for more than a decade since then. 10 years ago there was hardly a crowd. AKK then was known to be “old people food” or “food offering for the gods” I can easily get my AKK within minutes but recently the queue had been extending longer and longer due to the explosion of social media and there is a general trend of people going back to traditional food. I was at the Everton Park branch around 9am and the queue is 15 strong. I decide to ditch the plan. They have another outlet at Bugis Village. The queue is relatively shorter at Bugis. (Peanuts and salted bean are my favourites) There are many favours to choose from peanuts, coconut, salted bean, sweet bean, yam and sweet corn. There is ...
