THEEDGE SINGAPORE | THE WEEK OF APRIL 9, 2012
| BY MICHELLE TEO |
A
sian stocks slumped on April 4 on
growing concern that the US Federal
Reserve might not carry out a third
round of quantitative easing (QE3).
In Singapore, the Straits Times Index
fell the most since March 6, declining 1% from
a day before to close at 2,985.04 on April 4.
Traders inferred from minutes taken during
a US Federal Reserve policy meeting on March
13 that the Fed would hold off on yet another
round of monetary stimulus, unless US eco-
nomic growth falters. Successive rounds of
stimulus by major central banks around the
world have lifted markets over the last two
years and, some analysts say, also artificially
improved economic data.
Tham Mun Hon, regional strategist at May-
bank Kim Eng, says in an April 4 report that the
world needs to begin looking beyond liquidity
injections as a solution to its economic woes.
He points out that the response to the 2008 glo-
bal financial crisis, which essentially transferred
debt from the private to the public sector, has
caused overall indebtedness to rise.
Furthermore, reliance on monetary stimulus
alone has not given the economy a sustainable
boost. Instead, it has compressed business cy-
cles. For instance, in 2011 alone, the economy
swung from a recovery in the first half to re-
cession-like conditions in the later part of the
year, Tham notes. There is only one source
of wealth creation in the long run, and that is
the real economy.
Rising inflation
Tham also warns that inflation could return
sooner than expected and, while it may not
stall the global economic recovery, it may be
sufficient to take the wind out of an earnings
recovery cycle in Asia. He argues that QE has
affected investors perceptions of relative as-
set values and how they price market risk. It
has led to greater demand for riskier assets
such as equities and alternative instruments
such as commodities.
Yet, the monetary stimulus might not be
feeding real economic activity in a sustaina-
ble way, but driving up asset prices and infla-
tion, some market watchers say. Once infla-
tion risks become more apparent, they add,
the Fed and other major central banks might
need to rethink their policies.
Where does that leave investors? On the one
hand, holding on to cash or buying bonds isnt a
good idea in the face of looming inflation. On the
other hand, inflation could squeeze profit mar-
gins at many businesses too, hurting corporate
stocks and bonds. In fact, analysts see little scope
for earnings upgrades for the rest of 2012.
Energy and commodity plays
As such, investors should focus on compa-
nies with strong pricing power and sustaina-
ble top line growth. To this end, keeping an
overweight on energy and commodities will
be the best way forward. It allows us to ben-
efit from any better-than-expected economic
growth and at the same time hedge against
another liquidity-fuelled stock market rally,
says Tham. He recommends stocks exposed to
Asian growth, in sectors like energy, commod-
ities, consumption, banks and property.
In terms of Singapore stocks, Maybank Kim
Eng is overweight on the offshore and marine
(O&M) players and commodity traders. Among
the brokerages key picks are Noble Group, on
a potential boost from the possible spin-off of
its agri business, and Sembcorp Marine, which
is expected to secure up to US$4 billion in new
order wins in the next 12 months.
Already, SembMarine has secured about $2.5
billion in orders this year, most recently a US$568
million ($715.5 million) contract to build a harsh-
environment semi-submersible. Its rival, Keppel
Corp, this month scored a US$205 million con-
tract for a jack-up rig, as well as US$170 million
in floating production, storage and offloading
contracts from repeat customers.
Where smaller O&M plays are concerned,
lift boat operator Ezion Holdings is also a fa-
vourite among analysts. CIMB Research has
highlighted Ezions order momentum, including
the recent US$80 million service rig contract
from an oil major in Central America, which
the brokerage believes to be Pemex. In its view,
the stocks valuations are undemanding, al-
though it hit a 52-week high on April 4.
Meanwhile, as the property sector remains
volatile, given that the high cost of housing in
Singapore is still a politically charged issue, May-
bank Kim Eng sees a better risk-reward trade-
off in other real estate segments. The brokerage
prefers CapitaMalls Asia (CMA), noting that
its current share price has discounted its Chi-
na exposure. CMA is still the de facto market
leader in Singapore, where we believe that re-
tail malls as an asset class will be the outper-
formers in the commercial property segment in
the next 24 months.

lobal stock markets are up signifi-
cantly this year, thanks to a liquid-
ity boost provided by the European
Central Banks long-term refinan-
cing operation and the US Federal
Reserves accommodative stance, as well as
pent-up demand from investors for better re-
turns and more risk. The Singapore market has
certainly benefited from these trends, with the
Straits Times Index up some 13.9% this year,
and the FTSE ST All Share Index up 15%.
Is it too late to join the party? Certainly, in-
vestors ought to maintain a nimble stance af-
ter such a strong rally. Yet, there seems little
risk in the short term of liquidity drying up.
So, for the moment, there could be more up-
side to be had by rotating into stocks that have
lagged behind. But where should one look for
likely prospects?
We screened the local market for stocks that
have lagged the All Share Index this year (as
at April 2). We then narrowed down the list
by focusing on stocks that are trading below
book value, and at less than 10 times histori-
cal earnings. And, we tried to stick with com-
panies that we judged to have some kind of
hard assets in their books. We whittled down
the list further by only considering
stocks that have some positive ana-
lyst coverage. With some addition-
al judicious selection, we came up
with a list of eight stocks that we
think could play catch-up in the
months ahead.
Property at bargain prices
Among them are two property stocks
that are trading at steep discounts
to their respective book values, and
appear to be bargains relative to
their peers.
Overseas Union Enterprise (OUE)
owns and manages Meritus Hotels &
Resorts, a hotel chain that includes
the Mandarin Orchard Singapore and
Marina Mandarin Singapore. Adjoining
the Mandarin Orchard Singapore, it
has a retail property called Mandarin
Gallery, and it is developing a luxury
residential development on Leonie
Hill Road called Twin Peaks.
This year, OUEs earnings could
also see a lift from its commercial
property OUE Bayfront. The recent-
ly completed 18-storey office tower
was built on the site of the former
Overseas Union House and is linked
by an aerial mall bridge to the Raf-
fles Place MRT station. A key tenant
is Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Analysts say the commercial envi-
ronment is challenging but shows signs of im-
provement. Office preleasing, though slow, is
creeping up, says Donald Chua, an analyst at
CIMB Research, in a report.
Chua has an outperform call on OUE
and sees upside potential to his conservative
office estimates. He calculates that OUEs re-
valued net asset value (RNAV) is $3.90 a share,
versus the stock price of $2.39. According to
Bloomberg figures, it trades at 74% of its book
value per share.
Then, there is SC Global Developments, the
developer of uber-luxury residential properties.
The stock hasnt been popular over the past
year because of growing concerns about sev-
eral government curbs to property speculation.
Notably, the introduction of the 10% Additional
Buyers Stamp Duty on foreigner purchases in
December has resulted in demand for luxury
residential property slowing significantly. On
April 2, the Urban Redevelopment Authority
released flash estimates showing that private
residential property prices declined slightly
in 1Q2012 compared with 4Q2011 the first
price decline since 2Q2009.
Yet, SC Global is no ordinary luxury de-
veloper. Its properties are targeted at the very
top end of the market, where prices have con-
sistently defied pessimists. And, the compa-
ny prefers to simply sit on its unsold units
than cut its prices. Indeed, the stratospheric
prices it charges for its developments enable
it to stay profitable even without selling too
many units. Late last year, it sold a unit at
The Marq on Paterson Hill at a record price
of $6,841 psf.
AmFraser analyst Lau Wei Chong, the only
analyst with a buy call on the stock, puts SC
Globals RNAV at $2.55 a share. The stock is
trading at $1.06 or 67% of its book value.
Yields for less
Other stocks in our list of low-priced laggards
are a couple of real-estate investment trusts
(REITs) that offer reasonable yields, and that
are trading below their book values.
One of them is Fortune REIT, which holds
16 retail malls and properties in Hong Kong.
Of these properties, two were added to the
portfolio in February. The Belvedere Garden
property in Tsuen Wan has a gross rentable
area of 276,862 sq ft and is 98.7% occupied.
The Provident Centre property in North Point
has a gross rentable area of 180,238 sq ft and
is 92.3% occupied.
According to the companys circular, the
net property income yield of the two proper-
ties for FY2010 was 4.2%. This is higher than
the net property income yield of 3.9% for For-
tune REITs existing properties in FY2010. If the
properties had been acquired in January 2011,
Fortune REITs distribution per unit (DPU) for
1H2011 would have increased by 6.7%.
In a report, OCBC Investment Research
noted that retail sales numbers in Hong Kong
have been strong recently. February retail sales
rose 15.7% y-o-y, compared with a 14.9% in-
crease in January. The numbers are especial-
ly encouraging since Chinese New Year fell
in January instead of February this year, the
report says. Fortune REIT is trading at 52% of
its book value and OCBC estimates an FY2012
dividend yield of 7.2%.
Meanwhile, Frasers Commercial Trust,
which has properties in Singapore, Japan
and Australia, also looks like an interest-
ing catch-up play. In a recent report, May-
bank Kim Eng Research analyst Anni Kum
says that Frasers Commercial Trust is one of
the most undervalued REITs in Singapore.
However, it may not stay undervalued that
long if catalysts that could lift DPU signifi-
cantly or cut gearing materialise. In fact,
since we compiled our list, shares of Fras-
ers Commercial Trust have since outrun the
All Share Index.
In Singapore, its properties include 55 Mar-
ket Street, China Square Central, KeyPoint and
Alexandra Technopark. The authorities have
recently granted an outline planning permis-
sion for the redevelopment of KeyPoint, which
could be rezoned from purely commercial to
include residential. This may allow Frasers
Commercial Trust to sell the property for a
good price. Kum also sees potential for pos-
itive rental reversions at China Square Cen-
tral as Frasers Commercial Trust is expected
to have only just taken over direct
management of the building. The
completion of the Telok Ayer MRT
station next year could boost rents
there as well.
Growth in China
Elsewhere in the market, some S-
chips look tempting as a result of pro-
longed, sector-wide aversion that has
pushed their valuations down.
Among the possible gems in the
rough are Sino Grandness Food In-
dustry Group, which sells canned
fruits and vegetables such as as-
paragus, mushrooms and peaches.
The company disappointed inves-
tors recently with a 42.5% decline
in earnings for 4Q2011, which was
due mainly to a jump in expenses
as well as costs associated with the
issuance of convertible bonds. But
the stock, currently trading at 3.6
times historical earnings, is cheap.
It also trades just a shade under its
book value.
Sino Grandness is also growing
its businesses. In 4Q, it managed a
36.2% increase in revenue. The most
exciting division is its new beverage
business, which reported a 123.7%
increase in revenue and 143.5% in-
crease in gross profit for the year.
FY2011 marked the first time that
both revenue and gross profit contributions
from the beverage division exceeded contri-
butions from asparagus, formerly its biggest
money-spinner. Gross margins on beverages
are also significantly higher than on aspar-
agus, or other major products such as long
beans and mushrooms.
UOB KayHian analyst Brandon Ng has a
buy call on the stock as he sees Sino Grand-
ness riding the beverage sales momentum to
drive earnings this year. The company has
secured a new supplier to produce its bottled
juices, which will double its capacity from
Hunting for undervalued, overlooked

Another China stock with an expansion story is Dukang Distillers Holdings, which makes baijiu, a fiery white spirit native to China

70,000 tonnes to 140,000 tonnes a year. Ag-
gressive advertising in China should also in-
crease brand awareness, Ng adds.
Another China stock with an expansion sto-
ry is Dukang Distillers Holdings. The com-
pany makes baijiu, a fiery white spirit native
to China. Previously, it sold baijiu under a
mass-market brand Siwu. But the company
has since acquired a business producing the
mid- to high-end Dukang baijiu, which has a
2,000-year heritage in Henan province. Du-
kang baijiu has since become the companys
primary growth driver.
Alison Fok, an analyst at Maybank Kim
Eng, says this shift in product strategy bodes
well for the company as gross margins on
Dukang baijiu are better than margins on
the Siwu brand. And Dukang Distillers is ex-
panding its presence overseas. In November,
the company signed a letter of intent with
Lotte Chilsung Beverage Co, a South Kore-
an beverage company, to distribute Dukang
baijiu through Lottes distribution network
of over 90 hotels, supermarkets and depart-
mental stores.
Despite a 22% increase in revenue for the
three months to December and a 55.2% in-
crease in earnings, shares of Dukang Distillers
are down 7.8% this year. UOB KayHian ana-
lyst Tan Jun Da estimates that Dukang Distill-
ers trades at about 6.7 times forecast earnings.
On average, its peers are valued at 21.9 times
forecast earnings.
Cyclical stories
To round up our list, we have two companies
in the palm oil and oil and gas sectors. Golden
Agri-Resources, which owns oil palm planta-
tions and processes and refines palm oil, has
lagged the Straits Times Index this year it
is up just 11.2%. Its price-to-earnings multiple
is a mere 6.2 times and it is valued at 96% of
its book value. This is partly due to 4Q2011 re-
sults that disappointed investors. Earnings fell
36% partly on higher fertiliser costs.
But the prices of crude palm oil (CPO) have
continued to hold up so far this year and may
even be boosted if biodiesel fever returns. Crude
oil prices are back up above US$100 a barrel,
which makes it more likely that the search for
alternative fuel sources will intensify. In a re-
port, Arya Sen, an equity analyst with Jeffer-
ies Singapore, writes that CPO prices recent-
ly rose above US$1,100 per metric ton for the
first time since June 2011. However, the high
CPO prices are still not reflected in the shares
of Golden Agri, Sen says.
In the oil and gas space, CH Offshore is
one of the few stocks that has yet to catch up
with its peers in terms of share price appre-
ciation this year. The company has a fleet of
anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels
that it charters out for oil and gas exploration
and production in shallow and deep waters.
As exploration and production activity increas-
es, CH Offshore should enjoy improving de-
mand for its vessels.
DBS Vickers analyst Jeremy Thia believes
that day rates for AHTS vessels have bottomed
and sees the charter market recovering this
year. He projects CH Offshores earnings will
bottom out this year at US$28 million, down
8% y-o-y, before recovering to grow 22% y-
o-y in FY2013 on higher fleet utilisation rates
and better margins from positive operating
leverage.

A
s family values go, frugality and
prudence are high on the list, es-
pecially if the family manages oth-
er peoples money. The Johnson
family has long embraced these
values in running Franklin Resources, and
clients of the 65-year-old money-management
firm have been grateful beneficiaries.
Shareholders havent done too poorly,
either, except in the financial-crisis-ridden
years of 2007 and 2008, and this year they
are sitting especially pretty.
Shares have surged 28%, to US$123, and
look set to keep rising, given a bullish back-
drop for equities, the funds strong perform-
ance, and the companys exposure to mul-
tiple asset classes and a global customer
base. Some on Wall Street expect Franklin,
based in San Mateo, California, to trade up
to the mid-US$140 in the next year, as the
company builds its diversified platform to
power further earnings growth.
Franklin earned US$1.9 billion ($2.3 bil-
lion), or US$8.62 a share, in the fiscal year
ended Sept 30, on revenue of US$7 billion,
with most of its profit coming from man-
agement fees. Earnings were up 36% from
fiscal 2010 as assets under management, or
AUM, rose sharply.
Earnings are expected to rise just 3%
in the current fiscal year, to US$8.87, but
growth could accelerate in fiscal 2013, lead-
ing to per-share profits of US$9.80. Franklin
trades for 14 times this fiscal years earn-
ings forecast, and 12.5 times next years
outlook, at the low end of the asset man-
agement industrys range. Strip out the com-
panys US$4.9 billion of net cash, worth
US$18 a share, and the valuation is even
more compelling.
As investors bailed out of the financial
markets amid a historic credit crunch in
2008, Franklins assets under management
dived 22%, to US$638 billion. But money
has flowed in steadily since, with 44% of
assets parked in fixed-income, 41% in equi-
ties and 14% in hybrid funds. We love that
they are one of the most diversified fran-
chises, says John Miller, a portfolio man-
ager at Ariel Capital Management, which
owns the stock.
Asset diversity insulates Franklin some-
what when one asset class is out of favour,
as equities were for much of last year. CEO
Greg Johnson, a grandson of Franklins found-
er, says the company is bullish on stocks,
however. With yields so scarce, we think
equities are the right place to go, he says.
The risk-return is better for equities over
the next decade.
Another of Franklins attractions is the
geographic diversity of its client base. About
a third of its assets are held by clients out-
side the US so the companys fortunes dont
hinge on business in just one region.
A strong global retail-distribution net-
work also sets Franklin apart from peers.
Investors dont put as much premium on
that as they ought to, says Marc Irizarry,
an analyst at Goldman Sachs. Irizarry has a
Buy rating on the stock, with a price target
of US$130. The performance of Franklins
funds has been more than decent. Based on
10-year returns, the company finished first
in Barrons latest fund-family ranking and
funds such as Franklin Rising Dividends and
Franklin Federal Tax-Free Income recently
have been in the top quartile in their Morn-
ingstar categories.
Franklins strong international flavour
owes in part to its 1992 acquisition of Tem-
pleton, Galbraith & Hansberger, a pioneer in
international investing, while its value-ori-
ented offerings were bolstered by the 1996
offering of Mutual Series.
Templeton Global Bond Fund, the US$77.5
billion flagship, has been a recent worry,
as poor bets on foreign currencies triggered
heavy outflows last year. But with the fund
up 6.7% this year, and in the top 4% of its
Morningstar category, flows appear to be
stabilising.
The Johnson family has always played
a central role at Franklin, and two sons of
founder Rupert H Johnson own a third of
the shares, worth around US$8 billion. The
Johnsons have been good stewards of capi-
tal, allocating funds for smart acquisitions,
stock buybacks and dividends. Franklin pays
an annual dividend of US$1.08 a share, and
yields 0.9%. It also paid a special dividend
of US$2 a share in December, and has paid
other specials in the past.
One potential threat to Franklin and oth-
er active money managers is the growing
popularity of cheap exchange-traded funds,
which control US$1.5 trillion of US-based
assets. Lacking the requisite scale, the com-
pany hasnt entered the ETF market. Then
again, there might be no need to, so long as
active management pays, and pays well.
Franklins shares are inexpensive, rela-
tive to those of peers, and even cheaper if
one excludes US$18 a share of net cash on
the companys balance sheet.

Substantial shareholder Goh Khoon Lim
raises stake in Asiatravel.com
E
| BY GWYNETH YEO |
G
oh Khoon Lim, a substantial
shareholder of Asia travel.
com Holdings, has been
buying shares of the on-
line travel and hotel reser-
vation service provider. From March
26 to April 2, Goh bought 800,000
shares in four transactions. Bloom-
berg figures showed the stock traded
at prices between 32.5 and 34 cents
over that period. His last acquisition
of 100,000 shares on April 2 brought
his final direct shareholding to 1.3
million shares, or 0.54% of the com-
pany. Goh also has a deemed interest
of 9.34% in Asiatravel.com through
his 20% interest in 28 Holdings, an-
other substantial shareholder.
On March 8, Asiatravel.com an-
nounced a partnership with Thai
Ticket Major Co (TTM), a ticket-
ing service provider. TTM provides
ticketing services for performances,
exhibitions and inter-provincial bus
services through a network of more
than 100 ticketing counters and out-
lets located at shopping centres and
post offices in Thailand. TTM also
has a real-time ticketing system for
online purchases through call cen-
tres, websites and mobile phones.
The partnership enables Asiatravel.
com to sell its travel packages through
TTMs ticketing network in the king-
dom and is the groups first overseas
partnership.
For 1Q2012 ended Dec 31, the
group reported revenue of $26 mil-
lion, a decline of 8.9% from the same
quarter a year ago. The drop in sales
was due to the massive floods and
intense competition in Thailand, the
end of a transport and tour service
contract with a major airline and a
slowdown in Indonesian subsidiary
AT Express. The quarter also saw a
net loss of $612,000, compared with
earnings of $679,000 in 1Q2011.
Meanwhile, Yuan Le Sheng, execu-
tive chairman and CEO of Debao Prop-
erty Development, has been acquir-
ing shares in the China-based property
developer. From March 14 to 27, Yuan
acquired about 1.3 million shares at 7.8
to 8.5 cents each. His latest transaction
of 8,000 shares brought his final direct
stakeholding to 15.7 million shares, or
1.39% of the company.
For the groups FY2011 ended Dec
31, revenue declined 49% to RMB447
million ($88.9 million) from a year
ago. The fall in revenue resulted from
a decrease in property development
sales, as only 37,600 sq m of gross
floor area were sold and recognised
in FY2011, compared with 127,000
sq m in FY2010. However, this was
mitigated by a higher average selling
price achieved over the same period,
from the sales contribution of Shan-
shui Longpans Phase 1 villas, a lux-
ury residential development. Gross
profit margin increased 13 percent-
age points to 33% in FY2011 from
FY2010. The group recorded earnings
of RMB55.7 million in FY2011, com-
pared with a net loss of RMB104.6
million in FY2010.
Elsewhere, Yeow Cheng Khim,
executive director of TMC Educa-
tion Corp, has been buying shares in
the training and education provider.
From March 21 to 29, Yeow bought
42,000 shares at prices between 6.4
and 6.6 cents each. Her final direct
shareholding as at March 29 stood
at 26.8 million shares, or 16% of
the company.
On Feb 24, the group announced
that it had sold its office unit located
at 111 North Bridge Road to Orange
Castle for $1.9 million. The vacant
property had a total area of about
990 sq ft and a net asset value of
$718,976 as at June 30, 2011. The net
proceeds of $1.88 million from the
sale will be used for general work-
ing capital purposes.

Amtek Engineering (April 3: 75.5 cents)
BUY (initiating coverage). The privatisation of Amtek
in 2007 ushered in new management members. Amtek is
well positioned to meet the stringent demands of OEMs
in the next wave of outsourcing. A conscious effort to
focus on high-margin business segments could translate
into opportunities for margin expansion for Amtek. Its
share price has tumbled to almost half of its IPO price
of $1.30, buffeted by tech sector supply chain woes and
economic uncertainties. Although FY June 2012 will be a
tough year, we believe earnings are close to bottoming out
and expect recovery growth from 4QFY2012. Accumulate
now at attractive valuations with 5.1% dividend yield.
Price target of $1.09, pegged at 11x FY June 2013F PER.
Maybank Kim Eng Research (April 2)
Ascott Residence Trust (April 3: $1.09)
UPGRADE TO BUY. As European concerns reach an
interlude, we reevaluate ARTs risk-reward proposition
with a bottom-up analysis of its asset exposure. Currently,
40% of its assets are in Europe, spilt mostly between
France (21%) and the UK (15%). While French and UK
GDP growth is likely to be curtailed in FY2012/13, we
see lower odds of long-term economic fractures. At this
juncture, we judge that ART shares are attractive given
a robust yield of 7.9%, which should underpin the share
price, and an undemanding P/B ratio of 0.8x, which
provides a reasonable margin of safety for bear-case
fair-value write-downs. Renancing risks are also fairly
limited with ARTs relatively healthy gearing of 41% and
a maturity prole that is well spread out. An increased
$1.12 fair value estimate (versus 98 cents previously),
mostly due to lower capitalisation rates for European
assets. OCBC Investment Research (April 2)
Cache Logistics Trust (April 3: $1)
MAINTAIN BUY. Being one of the lower geared SREITs,
we see Cache Logistics Trusts recent placement exercise
as a pre-emptive move to leverage on potential growth
opportunities. The placement was well received by
investors, netting proceeds of $57.1 million (after
related expenses), which will be utilised for funding
a previously announced acquisition and repayment of
debt. Gearing post placement is expected to drop to
about 27% (from 29% previously). An update with
management reiterates our view that Cache is poised
to continue its growth trajectory in the medium term,
with the manager sourcing regionally for acquisitions.
Price target adjusted slightly to $1.11. Stock continues
to offer attractive prospective yields of 8.6% to 8.8%.
DBS Vickers Securities (April 3)
China Southern Airlines (April 3: US$22.93,
HK$3.60)
UNDERWEIGHT. China Southern Airlines released
its 2011 earnings after the market close on March 29.
Like its peers, 4Q2011 was its first loss-making quarter
since 2Q09 it posted a loss of RMB0.08 per share. Its
4Q2011 operating margin dropped to -17%, with yield per
RTK (revenue tonne km) -20% y-o-y versus fuel prices
+26% y-o-y. Surprisingly, the company recommended
a dividend for the first time in 10 years of RMB0.20
per share. We believe this may avail management of
a funding channel from the domestic equity market,
which takes dividend payments as a prerequisite for a
secondary equity offering. Our 12-month price target of
HK$4.10 for China Southern is based on a P/B multiple
of 0.9x applied to our estimate for 2012. Barclays
Capital Research (March 30)
DBS Group Holdings (April 3: $13.79)
MAINTAIN SELL. With Singapore, Hong Kong and Greater
China accounting for about 86% of 2011 pretax, DBSs
earnings are susceptible to a slowdown in China and the
global economies, while corporate/treasury exposure add
to the volatility. Valuations reflect the low prospective
ROE of 10.3% that we are projecting, with downside
risk, in our view. DBS currently trades at a 2012 P/BV
of 1.1x, which is about 1 SD below its mean of 1.4x.
Understandably, valuations are not demanding at this
stage but the low P/BV very much reflects the groups
prospective ROE of 10.3%. With earnings risks to the
downside, we believe lower valuations are still justified
and our price target of $11.50 continues to peg the stock
to a prospective 2012 P/BV of 0.9x. This compares to a
P/BV trough of 0.6x during the global financial crisis.
Maybank Kim Eng Research (March 30)
Fraser and Neave (April 3: $6.66)
MAINTAIN BUY. F&N announced that one of its 100%-
owned subsidiaries, FCL (China) Pte Ltd, is proposing
to privatise its 56.17%-owned HK-listed entity, Frasers
Property (China) Ltd (FPC). We believe the rationale
for this exercise is that the current traded price does
not reflect its value as FPC is trading at about a 43%
discount to its NAV. We continue to see value in F&N,
as it is trading at a 24% discount to our RNAV ($9.02),
with the potential to progressively unlock value over the
longer term APB, F&N Bhd, Times Publishing and
properties, among others. In the meantime, the groups
earnings will benefit from the strong performance of its
brewery unit and stable investment property earnings,
coupled with $1.7 billion in unrecognised property
development sales in Singapore. Price target of $7.70

Securities (March 30)
Mapletree Logistic Trust (April 3: 94 cents)
MAINTAIN OUTPERFORM. MLT has continued to expand
its overseas portfolio by acquiring 11 third-party assets
totalling $387.6 million year-to-date. These include two
warehouses in Malaysia, seven in Japan and another
two in South Korea. Net property income yield for the
assets ranged between 6.2% and 9.9%, with property
expenses and maintenance borne by the tenants. To
fund the acquisitions, the management issued $350
million of perpetual securities (perps), rated Baa3 by
Moodys, priced at 5.375%. This is favourable over
MLTs current dividend yield of almost 7%. We factor
in MLTs recent acquisitions funded using perpetual
securities and also increase our acquisition assumptions
for 2012, raising our distribution per unit estimates
in tandem. Our dividend discount model price target
(discount rate 9%) rises accordingly to $1 (from 92
cents). CIMB Research (March 30)
Nam Cheong (April 3: 19.7 cents)
MAINTAIN INCREASE EXPOSURE. Nam Cheong
announced the sale contracts for three AHTS vessels
worth a total of US$36.8 million. These vessels were
part of its build-to-stock series and will be sold to new
Singaporean customers. As the vessels will be delivered
in 2Q and 3QFY2012, the bulk of the sales (about 11.4%
of our FY2012F) will be recognised in this FY. This
contract is further evidence of Nam Cheongs ability to
construct the right type of vessels, as well as surging
demand for more OSVs in the emerging oil-and-gas
markets. Two of the vessels will be operated under a
long-term charter contract with Petrobras while the
other will conduct work in Asia-Pacific. Intrinsic value
of 23 cents. SIAS Research (March 29)
Petrochina (April 3: US$141.17, HK$11.14)
OVERWEIGHT. PetroChinas management update emphasised
the companys strategy to further build on its integrated
energy model overseas and expand its domestic natural gas
footprint. The company expects to capitalise on Chinas tight
natural gas market as well as benet from the countrys
gradual move to a netback market price linked to oil
products in the medium term. Acquisition activity is likely
to focus on developing corporate and key resource-holders
partnerships to ensure a 50% international bias in the
groups production mix as well as to reinforce its existing
trading platform. We continue to see PetroChinas valuation
premium to its global peers as a price worth paying for
its diversied energy portfolio geared to Chinas pricing
reform and high demand growth market. Price target of
HK$13.50. We raise our FY2012 to 2015E EPS forecasts.
Barclays Capital Research (March 30)
Sembcorp Industries (April 3: $5.31)
MAINTAIN BUY. We expect 1Q2012 results from its utilities
business to remain strong on the back of firm energy
demand, a full quarter contribution from additional gas
imports from West Natuna and absence of integration
costs and purchase price allocations from the acquisition
of WSN Environmental Solutions that dented 4Q2011
results. Earnings from subsequent quarters may be
affected by the planned maintenance shutdown of its
Singapore co-generation plant but this will be offset by
the additional gas imports and commencement of full
operations in Salalah Independent Water and Power Plant
by 2H2012. Sembcorp Marine looks set to win a US$650
million harsh environment semi-sub order from Seadrill.
Phillip Securities Research (March 30)
Sembcorp Marine (April 3: $5.27)
MAINTAIN OUTPERFORM. Sembcorp Marine announced
this morning that it has secured a US$568 million semi-sub
drilling rig order from North Atlantic Drilling, a subsidiary
of Seadrill. The order drought of semi-sub drilling rigs
since 2009 has left only 12 units due for delivery in 2012
to 2014 versus a total of 110 jack-up rigs and drillships.
The rig value is lower than those awarded during the peak
in 2008 of about US$640 million (F&G design), mainly
due to cheaper equipment cost. However, we expect
prices to climb as more orders come in. Stay invested
for more newsflow of order wins. Sembcorp Marine
could trade above 18x PER or 1SD above its five-year
trading mean on stronger-than-expected non-Brazilian
orders, we believe. Price target of $6.28, still based on
18x CY2013 PER. No change to our EPS estimates and
non-Petrobras order assumption of $2 billion for 2012.
CIMB Research (April 3)
Singapore Exchange (April 3: $6.98)
DOWNGRADE TO ACCUMULATE. SGX will be announcing
its 3Q2012 results on April 17. Compared with 2Q2012,
securities trading values to date have shown marked
improvements, improving q-o-q from a Securities Daily
Average Value (SDAV) of $1.12 billion to $1.4 billion
quarter to date, based on Bloomberg data. SGX also
recently announced a new organisation structure, in
which the organisation will have five business units
Derivatives, Listings, Market Data & Access, Post-trade
and Securities. Based on the high potential for an increase
in trading values and total revenue as discussed above,
we ascribe a higher PER of 25.0X as compared with the
current PER of 3.6X. This gives us a new price target of
$7.34. Phillip Securities Research (April 2)

Shares retreat as Fed minutes
soften stimulus bias
April 4Asian shares fell on Wednesday after
the minutes from the US Federal Reserves March
meeting reduced expectations of further stimulus
measures to spur growth, leaving investors looking
for more clues to the global economic outlook.
European equity markets will likely follow
the weak Asian mood, with nancial spreadbet-
ters predicting major European markets to open
as much as 0.8% lower. US stock futures were
down 0.4%.
Fed policymakers remained focused on a still-
elevated jobless rate while noting signs of slightly
stronger growth, but the minutes suggested the
appetite for further quantitative easing, so-called
QE3, has waned signicantly in the light of an
improving US economy. Along with falling stocks,
gold extended losses from Tuesdays 2% while
the US dollar held on to gains.
MSCIs broadest index of Asia-Pacic shares
outside Japan fell 0.8%. Japans Nikkei average
fell more than 2%, and below the key 10,000
points level, to a one-month low, raising concerns
that Tokyos strong equities rally so far this year
was screeching to a halt.
The minutes do not suggest any change in
the Feds broad policy stance, and the central
bank still stands ready to take additional easing
measures if economic conditions worsen, said
Makoto Noji, senior strategist at SMBC Nikko
Securities. While the US economy is rming
now, signs of slowdown in Australia, China and
the euro zone would eventually put downside
risks to the export-reliant US economy.
Hong Kong and Shanghai markets were closed
for a public holiday.
Spot gold fell 0.1% to US$1,645 an ounce
while US gold futures slipped as much as 1.8%
to US$1,642 an ounce. Copper fell 0.7% to
US$8,510 a tonne on waning hopes for more
Fed stimulus.
Mining rms weighed on Australian shares
while the Australian dollar tumbled to a fresh
11-week low of US$1.0263 after the countrys
trade balance surprisingly showed a decit in
February.
Diminished expectations of QE3 the crea-
tion of money by the central bank to buy assets
lifted the US dollar index against a basket of
key currencies to its highest since March 26. But
the US dollar struggled to gain further against the
yen after recovering from Tuesdays three-week
low of 81.55.
Whether gold closes the week above or below
its 55-week moving average, which stands at
US$1,642, will set the direction for not only bullion
prices but also the US dollar, analysts say.
Everything is linked through the phenomenon
of massive cash supply from central banks, said
a Singapore-based trader. The minutes seem to
support a view that the Fed is not going to pump
more and more cash into the markets.
More Fed stimulus would be tantamount to
printing money and depreciate the US dollars
value, which in turn would enhance the appeal
of gold.
The markets will face key US non-farm payrolls
data on Friday, which could offer further evidence
for a reduced need of additional monetary meas-
ures to spur faster economic growth.
The US economy likely notched up a fourth
month of solid job growth in March and is ex-
pected to have added 203,000 jobs last month,
according to a Reuters survey, after non-farm
payrolls rose 227,000 in February.

Gold extends losses as US stimulus
hopes fade
April 4Gold struggled to regain lost ground
on Wednesday after tumbling nearly 2% in
the previous session, as the minutes of the
US Federal Reserves last policy meeting
showed diminishing appetite for further
monetary stimulus. Expectations of another
round of quantitative easing had boosted
golds appeal as a hedge against ination and
pushed prices to US$1,790.30 in February,
the highest level since last November.
Policymakers at the US central bank be-
lieved that the gradually improving economy
had lessened the need for more monetary eas-
ing, even though they remained cautious about
a broad pickup in economic activities.
The minutes came just a week after Fed
chairman Ben Bernanke hinted at the possi-
bility of further stimulus, which drove stocks
and commodities higher and cut the yields in
US Treasuries. Everything is linked through
the phenomenon of massive cash supply
from central banks, said a Singapore-based
trader. The minutes seem to support a view
that the Fed is not going to pump more and
more cash into the markets.
Spot gold edged down 0.1% to US$1,643.30
an ounce by 0633 GMT, after posting its big-
gest one-day decline in three weeks. Prices
dropped below US$1,640 on Tuesday. US
gold dropped 1.6% to US$1,645.00, tracking
weaker spot prices.
A firmer US dollar, which hit a one-
week high against a basket of currencies,
also weighed on commodities priced in the
greenback. The US economy seems to be
somewhat on its own in terms of growth
ramp-up just as Europe nears recession,
while Chinas growth remains suspect despite
this weekends stronger PMI number, said
INTL FCStone analyst Ed Meir in a research
note. This means the US dollar will likely
push higher from here, not necessarily a fertile
backdrop for either metal (gold or silver).
US Treasuries had their largest selloff in

CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS
Weak Spanish auction adds
to FOMC-inspired widening
April 4As expected, European credit markets took their
directional stance this morning from last nights FOMC
minutes, and the less dovish than expected tone in those
minutes led to some relatively aggressive widening across
the board on the open.
Those initial moves saw the iTraxx Main index open
three basis points wider at 126bps, while the Crossover
was 11bps wider at 618bps both perilously close to their
Series 17 respective wides of 127.5 and 621bps.
It is, however, a very busy session in terms of sched-
uled events, all of which could have a material effect on
market direction.
The rst of those events came in the form of a swathe
of European PMI service and composite data. In the main
the services data managed to beat the ash estimates from
a couple of weeks ago.
Most impressive was Spain, where the number came
in at 46.3 versus expectations of 42.0, the highest print
since July.
France and Germany also marginally beat expectations,
with Service PMI coming in at 50.1 and 52.1 respectively
versus expectations of 50.0 and 51.8.
The areawide number came in at 49.2 versus 48.7 and the
only country to miss ash estimates was Italy, which came
in at 44.3 versus expectations of 44.5. Composite numbers
exhibited a similar trend with the area-wide number com-
ing in at 49.1 versus a ash estimate of 48.7.

three weeks on Tuesday as the Fed ofcials
disappointed the market that had expected
more bond purchasing and persistently low
real interest rates.
Adding to evidence on improving US
economy, new orders for US factory goods
rebounded in February and rms increased
orders for capital goods.
The sharp drop in prices attracted some
physical buying interest from bullion dealers
in Asia, though Hong Kong and China are
closed for a public holiday, dealers said.
Prices below US$1,640 are still attractive
to physical buyers, said a Singapore-based
dealer, who added that Indias imports
remained depressed as the jewellers strike
drags into the third week.
Platinum group metals held up relatively
well during the sell-off on Tuesday, on strong
US auto sales data. Spot platinum was little
changed at US$1,634.74, and spot palladium
traded nearly flat at US$648.75. Golds
premium over platinum has narrowed to
below US$10 from nearly US$45 last week,
as platinum outstripped gold on weekly

PSB joins eurobond rush
after sovereign deal
April 3: Russian mid-sized lender Promsvyaz-
bank (PSB) joined other local corporate borrow-
ers on Tuesday in a rush to issue Eurobonds,
after the countrys bumper US$7 billion sov-
ereign issue reopened the window on interna-
tional debt markets.
External debt markets had been largely closed
for Russian borrowers since last summer as in-
vestors demanded higher premiums to accept
the risk from emerging markets on the edge of
euro zone sovereign debt crisis.
Since the start of 2012, Russian borrowers
have raised over US$13 billion via Eurobond
issues half of the total for the whole last
year as global risk sentiment improved fol-
lowing the European Central Banks massive
liquidity injections.

CAPITAL RIGHT TIMING
An uneasy calm
Since directional movement continues to fall,
the Straits Times Index is probably still in its
rangebound consolidation phase, stuck be-
tween 3,021 and 2,906. As directional move-
ment reaches lower levels, volatility is likely
to recede, which implies that the market is un-
likely to break either upwards or downwards
in the next week or so. There could be situa-
tional interest in selected offshore and marine
stocks, though. Dealers suggest that Swiber
Holdings and Kreuz Holdings could be gear-
ing up for corporate action. Their uptrends
are not as evident as that of Ezion Holdings,
which is at a new high, they say.
Elsewhere, the release of the minutes for
the March 13 meeting by the US Federal Re-
serve, dampening prospects for a third round
of quantitative easing, spooked US and Euro-
pean markets.
The Hang Seng Index (20,790) has weakened
against the STI. The index is below its 50-day
moving average at 20,977. There is support at
20,350, at the neckline of what could turn into
a double top if broken. The still-declining 200-
day moving average is at 20,061. The trend of
21-day RSI is downwards, following a negative
divergence with price, but falling ADX should
stymie the extent of any decline.
VIX stays low
The Volatility Index or VIX (15.6) crept mar-
ginally higher between March 30 and April 3,
but continues to hover near its one-year lows.
In the short term, prices may trend sideways
as ADX is also falling, and is now a low lev-
el of 13, confirming a rangebound trend. The
50-day moving average has fallen to 17.4. If
the VIX breaks above this level, it may mean
heightened volatility for the US markets.
The Dow Jones Industrial Index (13,199)
is likely to move sideways with its uptrend in-
tact. ADX is falling and is a relatively low 15,
and the DIs are neutral, suggesting that the
DJIA, too, is in a consolidation phase. The
new resistance is at 13,250. Support stays at
the 12,950 to 13,000 range, and the rising 50-
day moving average is at 12,962. A breakout
of the resistance is unlikely as indicators are
not supportive of such a move.
The Standard & Poors 500 (1,413) is the
stronger US equity benchmark. It moved
slightly higher during the week, maintain-
ing a break above 1,400. Since ADX is at a
relatively high level and RSI is intact, this in-
dex should remain quite resilient. In the near
term, prices may ease but any downward
movement should be supported at the old

GETTING TECHNICAL
| BY MICHAEL KAHN |

F
irst, lets get this out of the way
I fought the trend and the
trend won. Despite my bearish
pronouncements, the stock market
rumbled its way higher in 1Q2012
with nary a hiccup. The gain of 12%
in Standard & Poors 500 index was
indeed the best opening to a year
since 1998. And the Nasdaq beat
that with an 18% increase.
But expecting the performance of
2Q to come close to the performance
of 1Q may be a bit of a pipe dream,
even for the most bullish among us.
Such a sustained pace is more often
seen at the start of bull markets and
not in a market that has already dou-
bled in three years.
My market concerns over the past
few months were due to a mounting
war chest of negative technical evi-
dence. But I underestimated the last-
ing and multiplying effects of the US
Federal Reserves continued low in-
terest-rate policy and injections of li-
quidity via its bond-buying campaign
(quantitative easing).
However, the markets strong gains
did not negate the technical negatives
that were in place and now there are
several disturbing new ones devel-
oping. The rising trend itself is the
sole technical reason to stick with
stocks. And until it cracks, there is
not much for a bear to do.
The trendline to watch on the
S&P 500 originates at the Novem-
ber 2011 low (see chart). Later this
week, this line will cross the 1,400
level, which is more or less in the
middle of the indexs range over the
past two weeks.
The positive, of course, is that the
S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are still notch-
ing higher highs and higher lows.
But an argument in favour of a
stock-market pullback is questiona-
ble momentum. Price momentum, or
price inertia if you prefer a different
spin, is one of the major supporting
arguments in chart analysis. Strong
price action should come with good
momentum, good volume and hap-
py sentiment. When these indictors
start to fall down, the rising trend
may be in jeopardy.
Volume has been low for months
but, clearly, that did not cause any
problems. In March, sentiment went
from bullish to excessively bullish,
according to many surveys of inves-
tor and trader opinion. Thats gener-
ally viewed as a troubling sign, since
stock markets tend to benefit from a
wall of worry. Yet, stocks continued
higher last month.
But now, fading momentum joins
the other technical negatives. These
supporting indicators are all in po-
sition to cast doubt on the staying
power of the rally, and that makes
the rising price trend susceptible to
shocks from both inside and outside
the market.
Of course, there can be news and
events coming out of the blue, such
as natural disasters and scandals,
that can shake investor confidence
in a hurry. But there is a short list
of potential shocks that are more
realistic, including such possibili-
ties as a major stumble by the be-
loved Apple, military escalation
in Iran and the Middle East, and a
gallon of regular gasoline soaring
Forces lining up against the bull market
breakout level of 1,376 and the
rising 50-day moving average of
1,366. There is a target of 1,440
but this may take a few months
to attain because the pace of as-
cent has slowed.
STI (2,985)
Long term: down; medium term:
flat; short term: up

Short term
RSI (Chart B) is falling after a
negative divergence.
ADX (Chart B) is still falling and
the DIs are neutral.
Stochastics (Chart B) is rising and is in mid
range.

Medium term
Quarterly momentum (Chart A) remains
above its own moving average but continues
to lose steam.
Long term
Annual momentum (Chart C) has resumed
its decline and the smoothed momentum con-
tinues to decline.
24-month ROC (Chart C) is turning down and
the smoothed indicator continues to fall.
ADX appears to be entrenched
in a gradual downtrend and the
DIs are neutral for the time being,
but they could turn negative during
the next few sessions. Meanwhile,
21-day RSI is forming a downtrend
after a negative divergence with
price. Five-day stochastics is ris-
ing, but this is a short-term indi-
cator. It is the still-intact quarterly
momentum that is providing sus-
tenance for the STI. All in, though,
these indicators continue to indi-
cate a rangebound market.
The long-term indicators havent
changed. Raw annual momentum
is starting to retreat and the smoothed annual
momentum continues to decline. On the other
hand, raw 104-week ROC is turning down and
the smoothed indicator continues to fall.
The index is likely to trade within a range,
with the 3,021 level attained on Feb 21
acting as resistance. Support has been estab-
lished at 2,906. The other levels to note are
the rising 50-day moving average at 2,973
and the flattening 200-day moving average at
2,868, unchanged from a week ago. The ear-
lier break above 2,900 indicated two eventual
upside targets, at 3,100 and 3,300, which have
yet to be attained, but the resumption of the
uptrend may be several weeks away.

Another negative on stock
prices might be the econom-
ic problems in Europe com-
ing back to the fore. Inves-
tors would be justified in
being nervous after looking
at the stock indices of Italy
and Spain, which are members of the
so-called PIIGS countries along with
Portugal, Ireland and Greece.
These European bourses put in
terrible performances in the second
half of last month. While the S&P
500 Index gained a fraction and the
German market lost 3.9%, Italy lost
6.4% and Spain lost 5.6%. Both It-
aly and Spain broke down below re-
spective technical supports and 200-
day moving averages.
In other words, these markets are
not getting any healthier and, if they
start to get worse, the negative tone
could easily spill out to the domestic
marketplace. So, too, could it cause a
flight into the comparative safety of
the US dollar. Given the inverse re-
lationship stocks have had with the
greenback so far in 2012, it could be
a catalyst to send stocks lower.
Also, the yields offered by long-
er maturities in the Treasury market
are creeping higher and may start
to compete with stocks for inves-
tor dollars.
But, again, until trendlines sup-
porting the major domestic indices
are broken to the downside, it is all
could have and should have. The
trend remains up.
However, it would not hurt to
take some money off the table, even
if you believe the rally is not over.

HONG FOK CORP (59 cents) Takes a breather
Selected small-cap lower liners have run up by 40% to 80% in a matter of days. According
to market pundits, the market takes the following form: In the initial stage, blue chips start
to move after astute investors have accumulated stock. Then the quality stocks with less
blue blood tend to move. During this phase, the top-tier stocks can take a breather. Fi-
nally, the laggards, lower liners and concept stocks make their move. Usually, this last seg-
ments activity points are followed by an overall corrective phase. The evidence shows this
lower-liner sector has moved, and an overall correction could follow.

SIM LIAN GROUP (63 cents) Fatigue to set in OXLEY HOLDINGS (41 cents) Overextended
ROXY PACIFIC HOLDINGS (56 cents) Early signs of fatigue SEE HUP SENG (24 cents) Ready to break out
A temporary correction is underway for which support appears at 60 cents. A move be-
low 60 cents is a sign of weakness, and a test of 55 cents will imply that the accelerated
upmove is over. For now, quarterly momentum is in rising mode, though it is significant-
ly overextended, making a downturn imminent. Additionally, prices have gone too far
above their moving averages and are unlikely to move any further. The detrend (differ-
ence between price and moving average) is at its highest level in two years. Resistance is
at 65 cents, and the largest gains may be over for the time being.
The largest gains could be over for the time being, following the 40% surge in prices since
the start of the year. While quarterly momentum remains intact in its uptrend, with ADX
rising and DIs positively placed, hints of fatigue have emerged from the clear negative
divergence between price and volume. Volume, according to Dow Theory, goes with the
trend. Here, rising prices are being accompanied by falling volume, a sign that prices are
losing up momentum. Preliminary negative divergence is also setting in between 21-day
RSI and price. Support is at 60 cents and a break below this level would be the start of a
top formation. Resistance is at the current level of 63 cents.
Prices are overextended and appear poised for a pullback. The company, with its very
high net-debt-to-equity ratio, has seen its share price surge 83% in five trading sessions
on a significant rise in volume. Such a move is not sustainable, especially since the mov-
ing averages are still flattish, hovering around the 33.5 to 34 cent level, and quite a dis-
tance below prices. It will take time for them to catch up and, more likely than not, pric-
es could retreat towards the moving averages. Support is at 40.5 cents, and resistance
appears at 43.5 cents.
The up momentum has been broken by a short sideways range. Volume had started to
fall off as prices rose, suggesting that genuine buyers were not following through with de-
mand. Quarterly momentum remains intact, as does ADX, and the DIs are still positive-
ly placed. But 21-day RSI has formed a clear negative divergence with price and appears
poised for a failures swing, when it breaks support. In this event, prices could experience
a deeper correction. Immediate support is at 55 cents and a breakdown could see prices
falling towards the rising 50-day moving average at 47 cents.
Short-term indicators have turned up, including the slightly longer term 21-day RSI, sug-
gesting that prices should be able to break above the flattening 50-day moving average at
25 cents. ADX has flattened after falling and the DIs are just turning positive. Interesting-
ly, a white candle and a doiji on April 2 and 3 were accompanied by a significant rise in
volume, suggesting some buying. Support has been established at 21.5 cents and the im-
pending break above 25 cents provides the impetus for prices to test 30 cents.
The main uptrend is still intact, but prices could be in the early stages of building a top.
This is likely to be characterised by some weeks of sideways movement. Volume is re-
ceding on black and white candle days as it normally does during a sideways range that
could turn into a top. So far, quarterly momentum is intact, but 21-day RSI is falling af-
ter a minor negative divergence. ADX is also falling, suggesting the largest gains are over.
It could mean that it is time for astute investors to take some money off the table. Sup-
port/breakdown is at 44 cents, and a breakdown points to a decline to 40 cents. Resist-
ance has been established at 49 cents.

The China Syndrome
| BY DARYL GUPPY |
T
he China market is closed this week
for the Qingming Festival, so its a
useful time to reflect on some wider
China issues that have an impact on
business in that country. The robust-
ness of the Chinese economy is often our fo-
cus, but we should not forget the sustained
demands for more access to China markets.
Foreign direct investment in China is growing,
but it provides traps for the unwary. High-pro-
file Western business failures mask the same
type of problems faced by smaller companies
looking to expand into China.
Recently, I spoke with an eager potential
business exporter to China. He exhibited all
the signs of the China Syndrome, a dangerous
infection that often leads to financial ruin.
The China Syndrome is a collection of
untested beliefs about China and the business
opportunities offered.
Here are some of the symptoms:
* China has billions of customers, so I only
need to get a very, very small fraction to
make a fortune with my business;
* China is a competition desert, so there is
room for my product or service;
* The emerging middle class is hungry for
my product;
* China is desperate for foreign knowledge
and expertise to replace their outdated
thinking; and
* Apart from the language, China is pretty
similar to any other country.
Lets take them one at a time.
The idea that China has billions of customers
is a modern variation on the Shanghai Tailors
dream. This was a dream of British cotton
merchants, who calculated that if every Chinese
added just an inch to their shirt
tails, then all the merchants would
enjoy untold wealth. There are
millions of potential customers,
but getting them to buy your
product or service requires a lot
of research and effort. It takes
as much effort, if not more, to
gather Chinese customers as it
does to gather customers in your
home country.
China is not a competition
desert. For every product and
service you can think of, there
are most likely established local
competitors already in China. The Chinese
market is sophisticated and well developed.
This is not an emerging market. It has emerged
and is now the worlds second-largest economy.
Its foolish to think there are business and
service niches that are not already filled. Your
product or service has to compete against
other businesses, which have the advantage
of local knowledge. China is not a soft option
for exports.
There is a large and emerging middle class
and this is changing some consumer habits.
So, where does your product or service fit
into the rankings on a world scale? If its
not globally competitive, then it will not be
competitive or attractive to the emerging middle
class in China. China is not an export market
for second-rate services or products. Success
requires world-class standards.
There was a time when China was desperate
for foreign knowledge and experience. This has
changed and the foreign premium has shrunk.
China is not interested in aping foreign ideas and
behaviours, nor do they regard
their thinking as outdated. These
assumptions of Western cultural
superiority are misplaced and
bad for business.
The differences in China go
well beyond language. China is
vastly different from any other
country. Business may be a
universal language, but it has
many different dialects. The
skills and experience learnt in
other business cannot be easily
or directly transferred to doing
business in China.
The Shanghai Index fall below 2,360
confirmed the parabolic trend analysis. A
parabolic trend is defined by a curved trend
line that is a fixed quadrant of an ellipse.
When these trends collapse, they collapse very
rapidly. The collapse of the Shanghai Index
trend was complicated by a small retreat and
rebound prior to the full-blown collapse.
Downside targets use the two support
features below the support level near 2,300.
The first lower support feature is near 2,200.
This was the upper level of the consolidation
area in December 2011 and January 2012.
The second lower support feature is the
value of the long-term down trend line A,
which is now near 2,185.
Investors will watch for consolidation
activity to develop between 2,185 and 2,200.
They will also watch for the development of a
Relative Strength Indicator divergence signal,
which is created when the index develops
rally, retreat and rebound behaviour during
the consolidation period. This pattern usually
takes several weeks to develop.
The market retreat may develop into a
long-term powerful double-bottom reversal
pattern. This pattern develops if the index
continues to fall to support near 2,140. A
rebound from this level creates a long-term
double-bottom pattern.
Investors are very cautious until the index
shows which type of pattern is developing.

hinas premier called the countrys big
banks a monopoly that needed to be
broken to get money flowing to cash-
starved private firms, as the nations econ-
omy appears to have skidded to its slowest
growth in three years.
Chinas state banks make money far
too easily, state media quoted Premier
Wen Jiabao as saying on Tuesday in com-
ments that reignited debate over the role
of banking in cushioning the descent of
the high-flying economy, the worlds sec-
ond largest.
Frankly, our banks make profits far too
easily. A small number of major banks oc-
cupy a monopoly position, meaning one
can only go to them for loans and capital,
Wen was quoted as telling local businesses
at a roundtable discussion.
Getting private capital into the finance
sector essentially means we have to break
up their monopoly, Wen said.
A senior economic official revealed the
economy might have grown 8.4% in the
first quarter from a year earlier, the slowest
growth since the second quarter of 2009,
when China began to accelerate out of the
global financial crisis. Such a result would
be in line with private economists forecasts
and with efforts by Chinese policymakers to
engineer a gradual slowdown in the econo-
my, which had been speeding along at an
unsustainable rate of more than 10 percent
two years ago.
State banks prefer to lend to other state
firms, starving smaller entrepreneurial com-
panies that must then borrow from infor-
mal lenders at high rates.
Recently, Beijing approved financial re-
forms for Wenzhou known as the countrys
cradle of private enterprise to encourage
private investment in local banks.
Experts said the need for financial reforms
was apparent, though it remained to be seen
whether the views of Wen would translate
into action under the new leadership.
This is a time in Chinas economic his-
tory where future growth, and future jobs,
depend heavily on small and medium en-
terprises and the private sector, said Wil-
liam Overholt, senior research fellow at
the Kennedy School of Government at Har-
vard University and author of Asia, Amer-
ica, and the Transformation of Geopolitics
