SGDividends: Do You Think this is a strong company? Ask yourself or why not call your Analyst.....and do you know that Michel Harouche, a director, just resigned, and sold some shares in Noble (9 Oct 2008 and on 8 Oct 2008) at about the same time before he left ? Maybe because he wanted to buy a house or maybe maybe ......so many maybes so little time... SGDividends is compiling a list of stocks on your right as we research into more companies. We will categorize as fundamentally Hmm, fundamentally average, fundamentally above average, fundamentally strong stocks....Please do your own research also and don't blame us if anything goes wrong ok....steady la...ok!

Important: The objective of the articles in this blog is to set you thinking about the company before you invest your hard-earned money. Do not invest solely based on this article. Unlike House or Instituitional Analysts who have to maintain relations with corporations due to investment banking relations, generating commissions,e.t.c, SGDividends say things as it is, factually. Unlike Analyst who have to be "uptight" and "cheem", we make it simplified and cheapskate. -The Vigilante Investor, SGDividends Team
