Now you claimed that you heard from grapevine  shortists want to short this counter, but never tell where your grapevine extended from.

We can't assess the strength of your claims don't even mention verify.   Best of all, you  mentioned MW's comment which was made months ago " OLAM not changing old way" .

If Dippyboy argument is the same as yours why would I prefer his over yours? Something worth pondering. Anyway, this should be my last response to your baseless claim. Goodluck.   EZ3626      ( Date: 30-Oct-2013 01:04) Posted: Rosesyrup, like to hear sweet thing, Silly the content is the same, it is just the packaging is different.  Dippyboy is kind, this news is nothing new.. wonder how on earth you decide to buy Olam. Hope you didn't buy Olam because of what your parrot said or I like the name Olam. Hokkien sound like Oh Lam (hug). Like that you better sell ... listen to parrot. Singapore raise children not EZ still raise parrot. If not because of Temasek support you think the rights issue can go through ....

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Fair, I like your analysis. At least you are complete opposite of that EMZ guy.  Don't know who thumbs down you but I will thumbs up you just to encourage more logical analysis like yours- normally I don't bother with the thumb up/down system. dippyboy      ( Date: 29-Oct-2013 23:57) Posted:   They paid a high price to Temasek rights support in the form of high interest and warrents. The total real returns are around 13% on top of the existing high finance cost for the remainding bonds and these will be first paid to them and not to ordinary shareholders. As of now since listed ,the cashflow is not positive and it has been spending more moola than it can generate from its investment. Along the way there are numerous operational difficulties in the vast investment in gabon and other farm sources it poured money in all these years. Ultimately it hopes all these investment will bring to fruits . To be fair, commodities as an asset class is not doing well globally but tide can turn with a synchoronised global recovery with the US leading the way after it fully deleverages in 5 years more. However there is a real risk of major difficulties in this period if china does goes to a recession pulling down europe. It is not comforting to know Olam consumes vast amount of cashflow to sustain these investment and real net return from them is yet to be fully paid back. True profitability is better gauged from real cashflow returns and EVA since inception. How much is the shareholder getting back on $1 invested since listed? Even if Olam does started generating net positive returns , most of them is first going to the bond holders to clear the debts. The question is, if the expected recovery in commodities doesnt come in this 5 years. Where is the new money to be coming from? New Bonds at reasonable interest is unlikely due to the rising usd and interest rates and poor sentiment given its history of promises. If things are still bad down the road , by then it will feel like its a ponzi scheme..... using new money at even higher interest to pay back old. Rights issue is very much the only way to repay previous bond holder to avert a default. I would like to pay only 50c per share to hold such risks.

x 0   x 1  Alert Admin	A very unconstructive and irrational  post. Normally I would encourage people to stay and share regardless of their stands. But for your case, I guess you made the right choice to leave. Having you here any longer, this forum can soon be trading on rumors and fairy tales. You ikan belis or not, we don't care.  Why tell us? How you decide your money, we don't care. Why even mention? Do you even need to mentioned your lack of market power? Isn't it obvious? Only rumors that have certain level of  possibility can become facts, not all. I heard from my parrot  Olam can rise to $100 per share tomorrow, possible to become fact?  That's why we need your source. The source you provide is your anonymous friends =.=. My parrot has a lot of friends too, some them even claimed Olam can go up to 10million k per share. Market trade on rumors, true. But they don't trade on all rumors and they given different strength to rumours, that's why we need you to provide credible source. In fact we are not really arguing about this counter here, our argument seems to be on whether you should start substantiating your claims with credible sources and giving  sound arguments. I don't understand why you got so worked up and used word that demean our intelligence. We simply said (politely)  it is pointless to argue something that cannot be verified. BTW, you have yet to explain why you claimed Olam has not been rasing money the past 1 year when it did. And how is MW right regardless Olam raise money or not? Urge you to clarify yourselves, because such illogical statements do reflect a person's level of  (erm...erm)  " analysis" . Spot on, you are an enemy to fair flow of information. If you ever want to post here again, remember to clarify your earlier arguments (highlighted in red). Otherwise don't bother jumping from claims to claims, when none of them is sound. Just saying.   EZ3626      ( Date: 29-Oct-2013 23:12) Posted: I'm sure all who play with stock knows people buy or sell base on rumours, it is for the discerning to decide where it should go.

I also hope they don't raise money .. we " retail" investors most frighten is raise cash. Pray hard it doesn't happen.  You are not wLong and shortists also correct. Just wait and see ....

True that price movement depends on BBs not retailers, but your flawed arguments can mislead people. Be responsible in what you post!

They are traders remember.    Relax and the game play on ..... 5 Nov 2013
