AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT: 21c at XD.

AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT went XD today. Price closed at 21c but if we look at the trade summary, 6,459 lots were bought up at 21.5c while only 197 lots were sold down at 21c. I believe that support is strong for this counter at 21c. Remember that 21c is also where we find the rising 200dMA, a longer term MA.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with this REIT and I will accumulate on weakness. For now, I look forward to receiving the income distribution on 15 March 2010.

ASSI 2010 Annual Report.

I am somewhat late in doing this. Somehow, it slipped my mind. Someone reminded me and, well, this is the report of how my blog did last year as promised.

Page loads, unique visitors and returning visitors all formed new records in the month of December 2010. The numbers in the chart are kind of small as this is a full year report. Let's see:

Page Loads: 
52,493 (92.87% increase from January 2010)

Unique visitors: 
32,169 (166.98% increase from January 2010)

Returning visitors: 
15,643 (175.89% increase from January 2010)

I think there are many who would come in to check on what are my latest thoughts on a daily basis which probably explains the 175.89% increase in returning visitors as well as the more modest 92.87% increase in page loads. Most are regular readers who would probably have read my older posts.

Although I am sure my blog would never be as popular as Xiaxue's or Mr. Brown's, that the number of unique visitors increased 166.98% from January to December 2010 is very encouraging. 32,169 unique visitors in December means there were more than 1,000 unique visitors per day on average.

I have said this before but no matter how many times I say it, it would never be enough: I have no doubt that I have some very loyal readers who are spreading the word.  Your support is encouraging and you can bet that I will continue blogging!  Thank you. :)

Tea with AK71: First cheque from AdSense.

Not long after I started this blog in December 2009, I signed up with Google AdSense to serve ads in the hope of making some pocket money on the side. A few months later, I took down all the ad spaces. This was after hearing rather negative stuff about bloggers being "banned" with little chance of being reinstated. I didn't want to have the same experience. Could be quite depressing, I thought.

However, a couple of months ago, while chatting with a fellow blogger, I was advised to just put up the ad spaces for AdSense again and if I did get banned, then, too bad for me. If I got paid, it would be a bonus. Mentally prepared thus, I ventured forth with AdSense once more.

Today, as I was sorting through four days worth of mail, I found a cheque from Adsense! My first cheque from AdSense! It added some cheer to a wet Sunday. :)

Tea with AK71: What does a bundle of new notes look like?

What does a bundle of new notes look like? More specifically, what does a bundle of new S$2 notes worth a total of S$2,000 look like? Here are a few photos taken from different angles:

It was my first time seeing notes wrapped up in "MAS" plastic shrink wrap. Very official looking.

OK, how did it feel like? Felt like a brick, a heavy one too.

Maybe, I am just a mountain tortoise. ;-p
