Volte face

American bosses’ volte-face on Mr Trump seems uncharacteristically excitable. Perhaps they would be better following another piece of advice from “The Art of the Deal”: “I believe in the power of negative thinking…always go into the deal expecting the worst.”

KEPPEL FY2016 NPAT DOWN 49%

It's not totally unexpected.

Dividend's almost halved.

Nav's at $6.34.

Not so yummy.

HELLO 2017, EFF OFF 2016

Look.

Time does not wait for any man. In fact, life goes on and on till you are gone like dust to the wind.

So does the stock market. Trundling along, ups and downs. Never caring who's riding it. Not knowing as well.

Things are probably going to get a little more volatile going into 2017.

I hope you and your cash will fare well.

Good luck.
