FSL Trust: Acquisition.

Nothing much has been happening to FSL Trust lately although its unit price has suffered from weakness. I suspect that the weakness of the US$ and the shipping sector as a whole could have been a dampener.

The latest news is an acquisition of a "Long Range II (LR2) product tanker from TORM Singapore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TORM A/S for US$46 million ($56.7 million).... The transaction will be immediately cash flow accretive to the trust and will increase the trust’s total remaining contracted revenue to US$602 million, excluding extension options. The average remaining lease term of the trust’s portfolio will also remain at the current 6.8 years."

Will this be a positive catalyst enough to send its unit price higher?

Indofood Agri: Rebounding.

Indofood Agri Resources assured investors that PT SIMP’s listing will not dilute its earnings as much as analysts had feared. So, is this a good time to go picking up some shares of the company?

A long white candle was formed on the back of high volume today as price broke resistance at $1.69 to close higher at $1.71. The MFI and RSI have been spotting a positive divergence with its declining share price and we could see the rebound in price test the next resistance at $1.78.

This counter's downtrend is still very much intact and if I were to go long here, I would choose to do so as close to the immediate support of $1.69 as possible. I would also watch the declining 20dMA and the trendline resistance as possible price targets for divestment. Good luck to all involved.

Indofood Agri up after it downplays unit’s IPO.

Indofood Agri said its earnings per share in 2010 will be 835 rupiah ($0.12) after the IPO, down from 974 rupiah previously. However, its net asset value per shares after the listing would rise to 7,843 rupiah from 7,605 rupiah.
