Code Shield:A Peek into Singapore’s Secret Services

By Eric Alagan

A sovereign fund, Tengli, loses its bid to buy IndoTel, an Indonesian telecoms player. Russian Mafiya-backed interests acquire IndoTel, pointing to a Mole within the Singapore establishment. Tara Banks, an undercover agent, traces the leak to Moscow. The trail turns cold when several people are murdered. Meanwhile, human traffickers kidnap Annette Liam, a Singaporean poly student. Her father, Michael, sets off to Moscow in search of Annette. Completely overwhelmed by the unfamiliar language, bitter winter and lacking special skills, Michael stumbles through the Moscow underworld. Tara plays a dangerous game with her lover, Colonel Vladimir Plustarch of the SVR, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. She grapples with the blurred lines between the Russian Police and Mafiya, and a scholar, Colin Lowe, who arrives from Singapore to ‘assist’ her. Lowe unwittingly befriends Boris Simonov, the Russian Police chief who is also the patron of the Mafiya. Tara’s and Michael’s paths cross. Tara learns that the human traffickers and the Mole are connected. She races against time to rescue Michael and Annette while avoiding the Russian Police and Mafiya. Meanwhile, three assassins from the SVR are after her – could one of them be the svelte Plustarch?

Secrets of Dividend Investors: The DIY approach to finding the best dividend stocks

Author: Mark Lin     ISBN 978-981-08-9663-8     Price: $21.00

How do you make money in a market crash? One way is to buy into good dividend stocks.

But, which dividend stocks do you buy? Do you buy a stock for dividend at any price? or is there a specific price to buy dividend stocks?

If you are holding on to a stock for dividends, do you know when it is the time to sell it? How do you construct a portfolio of dividend stocks to create multiple source of income? Find out the answers for these questions and more in this latest book on investment.

Don’t rely solely on capital gains when investing in stocks. This puts you at the mercy of the irrationality of the stock market and increases your investment risk. This book teaches you how to select stocks that give you steady but growing dividend income. At the same time, you will learn how to protect your capital and minimize your loss when the stock price falls, by buying the share at a very attractive price (a significant discount to the intrinsic valuation).
This book offers you the right answers to the questions in every dividend investor’s mind:
  • Should the dividend investing strategy only be employed in the worst of times?
  • Are all dividend stocks the same?
  • Is dividend yield the sole criterion for picking dividend stocks?
  • What is an attractive price to buy a stock for dividend income?
  • When should I sell my dividend stocks?
In addition to answering the above questions, this book helps you to:
  • Evaluate and pick the right dividend stocks based on two major concepts of Dividend Safety and Capital Preservation
  • Assess the safety and sustainability of dividend payouts for dividend stocks
  • Calculate the reference stock prices for buying and selling of dividend stocks using the Perpetuity Dividend Discount Model and other valuation methods
  • Build, maintain and monitor a portfolio of dividend stocks to generate a steady flow of income
