First I am not a trader or TA person. So the "price action" i mean in the statement was about the share price movement.

So to answer your question, imo, i think it was easier to predict how share price will move in the past than now after certain news was made public.

Hock Lian Seng is a civil engineering firm and property developer listed in SGX. As this is the first time we present Singapore stock in this blog, we need to clarify something.
 
First of all, investing in Singapore stock market, or any other foreign stock market for that matter, is not a decision made to take advantage of weakening MYR. We do not intend to predict currency movement, so we would not take credit for any favourable currency movement, neither would we take blame for any unfavourable currency movement in our foreign portfolio. However, we do think that every investor should have a diversified portfolio, and diversification can come in terms of currency.
 
Second, we do not believe there is one stock market that is absolutely better than the other. Value investing is equivalent to investing in good business (at good price). Differences in government policies, monetary policy, import & export duties, natural resources, business environment, culture and demographic would make certain business is more favourable to be conducted in certain country, but the bottom line is, there is always good business (or good investment opportunities) in every nation. Investing overseas can definitely open the gateway to more undervalued stocks. Sir John Templeton, the legendary investor and a pioneer of global investing once said: "It's not easy (to find a company with low price and an excellent long-term outlook), but if you are going to buy the best bargain, look in more than one industry, and look in more than one nation."
