Today (28Mar12), G.K. Goh initiated buying back its own shares for the first time(?), and the first salvo is for a cool 410 lots, all done at $0.82/share.....

Apart from making the remaining shares more valuable - by raising their NAV and future EPS - I think G.K. Goh's BOD is trying to convey the message that in their opinion Mr Market is under-pricing the company's shares. I wonder are the directors prepared to have the company pay even higher prices to buy back a lot more shares, considering G.K. Goh's latest NAV/share is $1.14 (as at 31Dec11), and the shares are now trading on a 'CD' basis - i.e. inclusive of $0.06/share in total dividends - till 29Apr12.
