Sound Global: Full divestment.

Friday, March 1, 2013

Although its latest quarterly report does not inspire much confidence, fundamentally, this should be a sound business in the longer run.

China is bent on improving its infrastructure, including the improving of sanitation and increasing the availability of clean water supply. Sound Global is a logical beneficiary.

In the shorter term, however, it would be reasonable to expect margin squeeze and higher finance cost which would be a drag on performance. The rather sudden departure of its CFO is also a possible red flag.


Technically, momentum oscillators continue to trend downwards. The breaking of the rising 50d MA to the downside in yesterday's session was a bearish signal. Today, that signal was confirmed as a doji was formed below the 50d MA.

With momentum weakening and signs of distribution, we could see a lowering share price over time and the longer term 100d and 200d MAs tested for support. These are at 58c and 57c respectively.

There could be a better time to invest in Sound Global again some time in the future.

Hi coven,

Hyflux's valuation is rather rich for me. I will avoid. :)

Hi Dave,

I started investing when I was still an undergraduate in the university.

You might want to read this rather candid blog post: Excuse me, are you an investor?

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in subjects unrelated to finance. I went on to do a Diploma in Business in a night school a few years later and work as a business manager in a local SME. I was also teaching for a while. I think that about sums it up.

I definitely do not have any wow factor and I do make mistakes. I am as common as anyone else I know.

I happen to know a bit more about investing and I am happy to share. I am happier still if anyone has found my blog helpful. :)

I am also happy when people offer divergent views from mine. In fact, I welcome them as long as they are put across in a coherent and civil manner.

After all, we can't learn anything new if we only talk to people who know the same things we do, right? :)
