Revving up Hyundai Motor

Article Abstract:

Investors are increasing their holdings of Hyundai Motor Co. stock in the aftermath of the bankruptcy of Hanbo Group units, sensing that the company's stock could provide a stable environment for their investments. Hyundai's attractiveness comes from company's position as a strong auto exporter, holding 60% of South Korea's auto exports and 49% of domestic car sales. The company's stocks are also grossly undervalued, which would pay handsomely as the company and the country recover.

Singapore's foreign-currency stocks are worth a look

Article Abstract:

The trading of Singapore-listed foreign stocks increased by 29% in 1996, but the local stock market trading depreciated by 6.3%. The stocks, most of which are traded in US dollars, outperformed the Singapore stock exchange. The good performance of foreign-currency stocks is a welcome news to investors who bought the stocks, as well as the Singapore government, which initiated the effort to lure firms around the region to list in Singapore's stock exchange.

For Singapore's battered stock market, the worst may be over, analysts say

Article Abstract:

Singapore's stock market has dropped by 6.5% during the last week of Jul. 1996 from the level achieved during the beginning of the year. This development shows that the mixture of mediocre earnings, economic growth deceleration and regulatory policies on the property market has proven to be a significant disincentive to investment. This situation, of course, gives risk-takers the chance to easily buy good stocks at bargain prices.
