YTL Corp Versus the Pension Fund Dumpsters

An Overbite from EPF?

It appears that way.

I think YTL Corp shares are continuously being sold down by state pension funds for reasons best known to themselves. BSKL records shows that EPF is the party.

As for YTL Corp, I think they will use the Treasury buy-in to  prevent the price of the counter from being further eroded with such persistent selling down by these funds.

Fighting Back

It may be tough but with a huge war chest of RM 14 billion, Francis can do the trick to ensure the YTL counters can withstand the onslaught of these selling parties.

For those intending to hop in on YTL Corp, this could be a good entry point.

However, do it cautiously because I do not expect this counter to be a road runner in the short term.

As it is now, the YTL Corp shares are trading down below RM 1.70.

A classic Alien versus Predator combat is on.

Both are survivors.

Taken Still Hits the Mark

A Hot Number

After watching Taken 2, I walked down memory lane to review the original Taken movie.

Though this movie has a better premise on the trafficking of young girls for prostitution by Albanians, it may lack the gut crunching, bone cracking and neck-breaking suspense and action of the sequel.

Swifter moves from Neeson

Here you see a more active and physique Liam Neeson, a younger Maggie Grace and a less lethargic Famke Janssen.

Aging Galore

Though not directed by Luc Beeson, it still has enough captive power to wow audience.

Even to this day.

A Younger Kim Played by Maggie Grace

Great to see Taken again.

Tengku Razaleigh-Enigma on the Home Run

Fallen Angel;Lost Hope?

As the days passed by ever so quickly and the next election awaits PM Najib's call, one person stands alone equivocal at best or at worst.

He has spoken for the party and also that BN will win status quo after the 13th GE.

But is he believable since his unwavering principled stand amidst the variety of corruption expose that has erupted in the last few months from the Cows-Condominum Connundrum to the Hummer Heigh Ho?

Also, if he should stay in BN, will he just retire as the date of the GE gets closer if he is not chosen as a candidate?

No, the likelihood of him joining the PR is already over and done with.

If he ever comes back to the bench of government, he must be given a worthy senior post.

Will PM Najib accede to this?

As for the PR if they should win Putrajaya, they might just secure his willingness to participate in a government  renaissance through a senatorship if he is willing.

Such a enigma and on the home run .

Many are still scratching their heads.

How do you read Ku Li?

SkyFall-Intermission for Changing of the Guards?

Looks that way for sure.

Skyfall is written in such a way as to dispose of Dame Judi Dench as M; to give an African American lady the role of Money Penny and to give Ralph Fiennes the role of M. Yes, and Javier Bardem  that dastardly Spanish character actor with the worse haircut from,  No Country for Old Men as the arch villain after M's hide!

Shanghai Shoot-out

As for Berenece Lee Marlohe, it was a great introduction of a Eurasian Cambodian Chinese in the role of a Bond girl, even though her role was brief as she was shot to death by Silva  after a little apple shooting episode of William Tell in modern times.

Going to Skyfall,Scotland

Skyfall, a place in Scotland was to see one hell of a fire-fight between Bond,M and the villain of the pack Silva played to the hilt by Javier Bardem, met his death curiously via the tip and  blade of a cold steel knife.

Brief Introduction

As Albert Finney's character was wont to say, " If all else fails, use this!"

Money Penny

New Q

This movie has a lot of punch and fire power.

Dark and Broody!

Spanish Nemesis

Another great outing for Daniel Craig!

The New M

Julia Robert's Pretty Woman-The Best!

Wicked Fun

It has to be. This is Julia Robert's finest.

Even though she was honoured with the Oscar for for Erin Bronkovitch.

Joy of Love

This fairy tale of a movie starring this wickedly cheeky prostitute with the widest grin this side of Hollywood;  and the ever dapper debonair Richard Gere with his youthful looks is a drop dead movie of romantic love at its best.

Imagine, a plot of a  financial wizard meeting a part-time call girl and it can come out so entertaining.

Breaking the taboo!

Live through the pretentiousness to true blooming love in Rodeo Drive and Hollywood with a glimpse of San Francisco.

The treatment of the subject is great and tells us that dreams do come true for those who choose to be happy, irrespective of their circumstances.

Classy Coutore

The taboo, 'I do not kiss on the lips" has been forgotten when true love comes about.

Enjoy the intro song of King of Wishful Thinking and that pounding head-turning number, " Pretty Woman".

Pretty Woman on the Move!

Julia Roberts has got it made, encapsulated forever in this beautiful ageless movie.

See it again and again.
