With that level of iq, pls dun touch stocks
I knew you are new to our forum. I will regard this post as offensive, rather than a cheeky one.
One more similar one, will render a warning.

P/S: success in value investing needs more EQ, than IQ.

LOL.

Well, there's an alternative to wireless mouse. You can download apps to turn your smartphone into wireless mouse!
Chief Executive Mr. Loo Leong Thye said, “Despite the slow retail scene and lower
corporate sales we saw in the first quarter, we look forward to a better next quarter. We
will harness our key strengths, such as improving our core IT lifestyle retail business as
well as tapping on our large ValueClub member base in Singapore. In addition to the
three new stores opened in Singapore so far this year, we will open another four new
stores in the second and third quarters of 2014.”
I'm pretty sure next quarter will be better like what the CEO said, looking forward to a better quarter
I think Challenger is likely to make above 1 cent next quarter and the price might rebound after that.
btw I bought a hundred lots at 53 cents during the friday fire sale
If it drops further, I will surely try to pick up more.

Try searching for wifi mouse or remote mouse in the app store. Should be available in all platforms. and should be free.
Warning though, it still cannot replace the mouse, it's just for couch potatos, when you want to lie in bed and don't want to put the mouse back at the desktop after using it.

Hi d.o.g.,
I agree to many of the points that you have brought but one.
I believe that many consumers, especially the female ones, place aesthetics as one of the most important factor in determining whether they will buy a product or not.
My friends' girlfriends have bought Valore products just because it works its basic function, and just because it looks nice.
I myself design products, and one of the key factor in product design is the looks of the products. I once had a product that looks old and outdated, and that turned away many people.
I am guessing managements strategy is the following
1. Must look good
2. More affordable than well known brands
3. Functional
4. Ease of buying
Quality is not that important as it is not competing with the well known brand. Looks and affordability are more important. Finally, Accessibility to the everyday consumers (not so IT savvy)
(vested)
fire sale is here, 50 cents while stocks last

I think what is puzzling is that they are putting their name Challenger to the brand Valore. Can't they achieve their objective by making it a stand alone brand and most consumers aren't wiser? Who would know that Asrock is a lower end product of Asustek?

The Valore branding is promoted without Challenger brand. We may see Valore products are sold in Challenger stores, but the product brand is separated.
I take a look at a Valore product, the brand label is Valore, rather than Valore, Challenger, right?
