  After buying so many bank shares, monies not enough?

  After burning so much monies in Chartered, it's time to admit defeat.

  How I wish they sold Chartered from day 1, just like what they had done to Micropolis, the hard disk company. Now the Chartered shares price is at rock bottom, our currency has weakened, the Financial Tsunami still brewing, now the right time to sell our icon?

  I would only say, monies indeed not enough!

  法說�夕 ��電傳將收購特許

  �經濟日報╱記者陳碧���北報導】 2008.10.25 02:59 am

  景氣低迷，�導體產業整併傳�甚囂塵上，瑞展產經董事長陳忠瑞昨（24）日表示，新加�淡馬錫控股有�出脫全�第三大晶圓代工業新加�特許股權，外傳��高盛曾與全�最大晶圓代工業者��電有�接觸。��電昨日則強調，�評論市場傳�。 下周是晶圓代工�群財報發布與法說周，�電29日開跑，��電30日展開，特許31日舉行，�料「整併題��將�法說會的關注焦點。市場傳出，淡馬錫控股欲出脫手上60%的新加�特許股權，高盛證券從中撮�，希望促���電收購新加�特許�導體。 據瞭解，��電是四家晶圓代工廠中營收最高��利也最好的�頭廠，IDC估算2007年��電市場�有率50%，新加�特許7.4%。特許近幾年�為IBM�盟後，65奈米營收已領先�電，�居65奈米二哥；特許�去也曾傳出與中芯國際談�併購。 業界�為，特許雖然先進製程跑得較快，營��在�益邊緣起�，主因在IBM收�高�權利金；若特許投入��電懷抱，雖�拋開IBM權利金約�，但��電製程多以英特爾為主，特許是IBM�盟會員，�為收購上的障礙。 巴黎證券�導體分�師陳慧明�為，��電若真收購新加�特許，���電而言有正�效益，但特許是新加�扶��導體的樣��業，��電收購�程有相當難度。 業界也質疑，晶圓代工廠商目�都在縮減資本支出，��電若�是為了消滅一個競爭�手，此時收購特許的產能，效益值得觀察。 ��電昨天股價跌破40元關�，收在39.75元，創五年來新低；�電也繼續跌�，收盤價8.37元；世界先進第二次庫�股原�計11 月21日執行完畢，昨天�股價下跌��完�，累計9月22日至10月22日一個月內，以平�10.65元買回自家股票1.7�張，世界昨日收盤價9.27元，庫�股處於套牢階段。 除了國內�導體代工廠股價��想，國外�業也難逃金�風暴股�，中芯在美ADR最新盤價1.01美元，雖然股價有�彈，�在歷�低檔；新加�特許ADR約1.68美元，也是底部�。

  ‘Sands Macao’s casino revenue fell 30 per cent to US$262 million, and its operating income plummeted 58 per cent to $40 million.’  

  Putting your bet on a Casino is always a gamble, and the odds are always against the one placing the bet.

  i still believe there is some problems in the balance sheets at temasek.

  i dont understand the rational of selling a company in bad times. not when the value of the stocks are at all time low.

  Maybe a few years down the road, Chartered becomes a $20 stock.

   

  And then TH buys it back.
