confused 150NOBLE GROUP: Has appointed PriceWaterhouse Coopers to conduct an assurance review of its marked-to-market models, valuations, and governance framework.

The outcome of the report may or may not cause provisions to be made to the coming financial results. Share price would react, positively or negatively, based on the outcome.

Current share price (67 cents) is at the low, and how much lower can it goes is anybody's guess. If 4 cents dividend is maintained, the dividend yield is close to 6%. Is it time to invest for long term, or time to punt for short term?



COSCO: Profit warning issued, that Q2 2015 results will show a loss. The reasons given that he expected net loss is mainly attributable to

(i) the low crude oil prices over recent months which has had an adverse impact on the global offshore marine industry,
(ii) the languid dry bulk shipping market which has brought great pressures to the Company’s dry bulk fleet operations and
(iii) the slump in the shipbuilding market which has negatively impacted the Company’s shipyards.

Technically, this share will move toward the next support at 0.39 if the quantum of the loss is substantial.
