September 12 Sale

L'Viv

Total Number of Units 147
Number of units sold 129
Percentage of sale 87.7%
4 Units sold this month with median price of $2,246

Ascentia Sky
TOP. 4th quarter 2012
Total Number of Units 373
Number of units sold 373
Percentage of sale 100%

TOP: 2015
Total Number of Units 496
Number of units sold 359

104 Units sold this month with median price of $1,090

IIRC, the 85% (i.e. 204 ) of the newly released units (i.e. 241) are sold. Hence, we should see more sale recognition (at least another 100 units ) in next month report.

I love the freshly sliced fruits they serve at the buffet table!

Got to rush back for work so did not manage to grab anything . By the way, the lunch this year looked like better than previous year.

WT did very well indeed! One of my best stocks holdings currently. Today it hits a high of $1.74. Highest in the past 52weeks. I'm not in a hurry to take profit coz I believe this stock still can go further fundamentally with its increased NAV & lowered gearing. Good revenues & better profits is of coz another additional piece of good news to me to continue holding. In fact I've been waiting for temporal pull backs along the way to accumulate this share thus far. Nov to me is another month to have lotsa chances to do so. Just a personal note. I'm not advising anyone to buy/sell/hold.

I'm vested.

What price did you start vesting at? You mean you will still buy at today's prices?

Why not?
Of all the mid-large cap property counters, if you go by asset play, WingTai has one of the best discount to NAV.

Why is it nobody was buying at $1? Why buy now?

Who knows the manic depressive behaviour of Mr Market? Actually it is not right to say nobody was buying at $1. For every transaction there has to be a buyer and seller. If people are dumping their shares, somebody has to be buying. Otherwise there is no transaction.

I buy not based on price history, but based on some assessment of intrinsic value (may be NAV, may be DCF). This is the beauty of value investing right? I was buying Wing Tai at sub-$1 in Dec 11, when the NAV was still low $2.xx.
