How to trade for cash flow

Jason Yee is clearly an affable person. He calls people he meets ‘my friends’ and readily offers his views on the state of the current global economy and why China is the one to watch. But mention the numerous seminars that tout their magical ‘trading systems’, he goes into a disgruntled mode.

“It’s impossible to become a successful trader overnight or in just two to three days! Trading is a lifelong process. It requires time and effort – and a lot of professional guidance.”

A stocks and options trading coach in AchieverLife, Jason believes that trading is non-complicated and can be a powerful tool in helping you achieve enhanced income, or even better, financial freedom.

With a strong foundation in trading, you can go a long way in today’s volatile economy and Jason wants to help you lay the groundwork, brick by brick. Find out more at http://trading-mentor-sg.com/

Higher cost of car ownership and rising tourist arrivals positive for land transport operators

COE prices surged in the latest tender, rising by 36.5 to 52.2% for motorcars and 21.8% for commercial vehicles. While the sharp jump is due to motor traders snapping up COEs before the introduction of a new and significantly smaller quota starting next month, prices could remain firm and even trend up due to a 28% reduction in supply from April till July. The SGD42001 price tag for an Open category COE, which is the highest, compared to the other 2 motorcar categories could be a sign of things to come.

Potential car buyers looking to the 2nd hand car market will also find that prices there have risen as well. According to the Straits Times, used car traders, sensing a spike in demand for 2nd hand cars have jacked up prices by SGD5000 to SGD7000.

We think that the higher cost of car ownership is positive for public land transport operators SMRT (Buy, TP: $2.08) and ComfortDelgro (Buy, TP: $1.83) as some potential buyers will decide to stick to public transport. This trend should continue if COE prices continue to trend up in the months ahead.

More significantly, land transport operators should benefit from an anticipated increase in tourist arrivals in the months ahead as operations from the 2 integrated resorts pick up momentum. Visitor arrivals for the month of February had risen 24.2% y-o-y to reach 857,000 visitors, which is the highest ever recorded in the month of February and the 3rd consecutive month of record visitors arrivals.

Currently, shares of SMRT are trading a mere 2% from our target price of $2.08 while that for ComfortDelgro remains at 15% below fair value. We favour ComfortDelgro given its higher upside potential to fair value and technical factors.

Shares of ComfortDelgro have been range bound for 8 months between $1.48-1.68 even as the trend for higher tourist arrivals is expected to continue and now higher car ownership could put off some potential car buyers. We think investors may have overlooked this stock. Technically, the stock has based out at $1.55 and we see upside bias to $1.73. If $1.73 clears as well, the next upside level is $1.84.

Parkway – Sell into Strength

Conviction sells using the following criterions: 1) Hold of Fully Valued recommendation 2) Trading >15% above fair value 3) Outperformed STI by more than 15% on both a 1-wk and 1-mth basis, which makes the stock technically overbought and finally 4) Technical analysis supports the sell view.

Shares of Parkway stick out like a sore thumb. The stock currently trades at 22% above our fair value of $2.71 and is expensive at 27.2X (30.4X ex-Novena sales) FY10 and 16.7X (28.3X ex-Novena sales) FY11 earnings. The stock had gained 9.5% last week and 23% on a m-o-m basis after Indian healthcare group Fortis became a major investor with a 23.9% stake and on news that Parkway had sold its medical suites located at Novena at SGD3588 - 3828psf during the recent phase 1 launch. Our analyst believes that positives for Parkway are more than priced in.

Shares of Parkway have a weekly stochastics reading of 81 (above 80 considered overbought) and the 8-wk RSI meter registers 82.4 (above 70 considered overbought). In addition, negative divergences have appeared on the weekly MACD and 8-wk RSI, which hint of a potential downward reversal ahead. Shares of Parkway are not just looking overbought; they are becoming ‘obese’.
