It's all about Amelioration. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Insights to the Singapore Dilemma. Credit to TOC for the heads up on this interview with the former head of the civil service, Mr Ngiam Tong Dow . Talk about hitting the nail on its head. No interview comes close in terms of addressing the future concerns of the civil service and the government . Mind you, this interview was done in 2003, and we are facing the exact same problems which Mr Ngiam highlighted. Bloody insightful. Some civil serv...

It's all about Amelioration. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Knowledge is Strength المعرفة قو ة، العلم قو ة. Islam is a faith that advocates and demands intellectual rigor. The Quran instructs its followers to observe, reflect and employ rational thinking and analysis towards the understanding of both secular knowledge, the world that we live in and our place within it. As I quote the Quran: ” The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of martyrs.”. As a reflection, I might not be a good pract...

It's all about Amelioration. Just another WordPress.com weblog. What Goes Up Never Comes Down. The headline reads : “The dollar was trounced once again in Asian and early European trade after a surprise tightening move by the Monetary Authority of Singapore sent the greenback plummeting against all its major trading partners”. Wow, impressive I thought. Our little island is really building a name for itself, so much so that our monetary policy decisions will actually influence the Forex majors. Ultimatel...

The Alternative Perspective on Macro Investing. You’ve Got the Teeth of a Hydra Upon You. I’m not known as a technical analyst (although I play one on TV). Yet, today’s blog post is a technically-oriented look at the three-headed Hydra that emerged during today’s trading. Head #3: From Doug Kass… The last two times the S&P 500 hit an all-time high and closed more than 1% from that high were 10/11/07 and 3/24/00. Things got a little interesting after each of those dates. Today the high was a...Taken indiv...

I Agree With George Soros | Altair Management Partners
https://altairmp.wordpress.com/2013/08/05/i-agree-with-george-soros
The Alternative Perspective on Macro Investing. I Agree With George Soros. Well on one thing at least. You may have noticed that I haven’t blogged yet this summer. Hopefully this blog will shine a little light on the reason. Last week my partner Mike posted some quotes from the Mad Hungarian. One in particular caught my eye. Now I’ll concede that it’s generally only billionaires that have the luxury of only going to work on days they think are special. But I understand, and agree with. What George and I ...

The Alternative Perspective on Macro Investing. And Now for Something Completely Different IT’S. Great Northern Iron Ore Properties. I hadn’t thought about this impending disaster of a company since March. Back then, I looked at the numbers, chuckled, and moved on.

https://altairmp.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/revenge-of-the-squirrel-part-deux
The Alternative Perspective on Macro Investing. Revenge of the Squirrel Part Deux? Trumbull Connecticut is a quaint little town. It’s home to about 35,000 folks who play in its wetlands, enjoy its stone bridges, and bask in the natural beauty abundant in the geography. It’s an almost idyllic setting around the winter holidays very Norman Rockwell. Or so it would seem on the surface. The NASDAQ went black. Gone. Vanished. Call it mint jelly; it was on the lam. By 12:05 pm, a backup computer was placed onl...
