Wolf Bargain( “Funlidays”)

-




As we approach the week long March school holiday, What do you do to keep your kids occupied? Travel? Not enough time. Enrichment class? Expensive. How about Library and Museum? They are free and educational.

There are a couple of new attractions to keep the kids engaged. Both the Keppel Centre for Art Education at the National Gallery and the Central Public Library went through their respective revamps recently. It offers the visitors a different experience from the former. 

Keppel Centre for Art Education(KCAE)@National Gallery 

Housed in the National Gallery Singapore, KCAE is a dedicated space for children as young as 3 years old. KCAE had a recent revamp to keep the little ones interested. The new space is more interactive than the former with touch screens and 3D painting incorporated into the space. I personally enjoyed the 3D painting more than my son. There are drop in activities within the centre for kids to do a bit of art and craft. The National Gallery Singapore is highly recommended for its inclusive exhibitions where everyone from the age of 3 to 80 years old has something to do.

Central Public Library

The Library was closed for 2 years before its reopening a couple of months back. The opening has been highly anticipated by myself as I am a regular user of the library for my investment research. The new library located on Basement 1 has been transformed into a modern and welcome environment. One could drown yourself in the world of books with many new titles. There is a child-oriented area in collaboration with S.E.A Aquarium Resort World Sentosa Singapore. The marine life theme adds colours and interesting facts about sea creatures. The space makes a great place to enjoy some parent-children bonding. The library creates a conducive environment for cultivating reading habits. There is a substantial increase in hot desks for people needing to catch up on work, charging ports are aplenty for those needing to power up their laptop and mobile device. I had a good look at the business books section, new titles were added. One could get books on cryptocurrency, the stock market, alternative investments and even AI. I find myself spending more time in the library. Both places provide a good alternative to the usual shopping malls and ticketed places of interest. Happy School Holiday!

Wolf Money(Portfolio update for end April 2024)part 1

  (Image credit The Star Media) (Swamp of people going into Shenzhen) Bye Singapore! Hi Malaysia, 2026 This write-up was inspired by a video posted on YouTube. The video talks about Hong Kong hollowing out by Shenzhen. The recent phenomenon of Hong Kongers going to Shenzhen to play, eat and stay is gathering pace with close to 2 millions making the crossing to Shenzhen during the recent Easter Holiday. That is close to 30% of the current HK population leaving for Shenzhen. With deflation taking root in China, things are much cheaper in Shenzhen. The poor economy in HK is another push factor with Hong Kongers trading down their consumption. One traveller from HK mentions his spending in the mainland only cost him 1/3 of the usual price he paid in Hong Kong. Hong Kongers are shopping at Sam’s Club in Shenzhen buying everything from groceries to electronics. The commentator interviewed restaurants and shop owners in HK, most experienced a 30% drop in sales during the holiday.  *T...

Wolf Money(The death of the Singapore Stock Market-My view on the final offer for Great Eastern Holdings)

(The Death of the Singapore Stock Market) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end of month portfolio update) Today we are here to attend the funeral of the Singapore stock market. Besides the low valuation suffered by our market participants, investors of our market have to navigate the complexity of low ball offers from majority shareholders. One would expect a local banking giant to lead as a beacon for good corporate governance. Unfortunately, they have decided to turn a blind eye and join the dark side of the forces, blatantly ignoring the IFA report to pay a fair price for GEH. I could have walked away quietly by accepting the offer for a gain in excess of 40% in 3 months, but I can’t walk away without my conscience pushing me to express my thoughts on this whole takeover saga. I started the journey by supporting Chin Woo. His leadership is top-notch. I think most minority shareholders will agreed, without Chin Woo’s effort, the minority would have been in a much inferior position...

Wolf Money(My views on Great Eastern offer)

   (Image credit: NLB archive: Singapore Press Holdings; An old article on OCBC previous takeover of GEH in 2006. Is the end game near for the longest takeover exercise in Singapore corporate history that stretches across two decades?) Great Eastern Holdings(extract from end May portfolio update) First of all before I go further, the views shared are mine, alone. It doesn’t reflect anybody views and it is also not to undermine the good work of the independent financial advisors which are been tasked to assess the fairness of this voluntary unconditional general offer by OCBC. Kindly do take my commentary with a pinch of salt given my vested interest in GEH. My view shouldn’t be taken as cardinal truth on what you should do with your GEH shares. Kindly do your own due diligence and seek professional advice. I praise and thank OCBC for starting the ball rolling with this privatisation offer. I believe the bank is capable of doing more for Great Eastern’s minorities. The offer of...
