Sahara desert is covered in snow now. Can you believe that?

Have you seen snow in a desert before?

What has happened to the climate now?

Noble's future is getting from bad to worse.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/troubled-noble-group-says-goodbye-global-oil-trading-040332524--finance.html

Noble has given up its oil trading business and is only left with its hard commodities division which consists of LNG & coal trading.

The hard commodities are not doing well because countries are getting more environmentally conscious especially with the chaotic climatic changes nowadays.  Carbon emission is on the mind of every government now and some countries are imposing combustible cars sales ban by 2030.

Sigh! We really have nothing good to speak of right now for Noble.

Singapore has redefined its UN voting stance.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-not-taking-sides-vote-un-resolution-jerusalem-balakrishnan-094124266.html

The UN resolution vote on Jerusalem was to show that the UN was against the USA's recognition of Jerusalem.

Therefore, when you had cast a "For or Yes" vote, it would mean that you had voted against the USA's recognition of Jerusalem and also meant that Israel was not the true ruler of Jerusalem.

Thus, the "For" vote was definitely not a neutral stance.  Generally speaking, a neutral stance would mean abstinence from voting.

If casting a "For" vote means not taking sides, then what about not voting?  Does abstinence mean taking sides?

SG had already redefined the definition of an elected president.  It is trying to redefine the meaning of its voting stance now.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/07/omg-singapore-didnt-support-banning-of.html

I would like to know what did SG mean when it abstained from voting for a nuclear ban since voting "Yes or For" meant not taking sides.

Taiwan is embarking on a smearing campaign against China again.

http://www.worldnews.easybranches.com/regions/asia/taiwan-demands-immediate-halt-to-new-china-flight-routes-571987

ICAO, an agency under the UN, had approved the air route M503 for a 2-way flight (North-South & South-North) but China only started a one-way flight (North-South) in 2015 because of the friendly relationship between the 2 countries.  However, this was not mentioned by Taiwan at all during the protest.

Then, China decides to commence its South-North route for M503 in 2018 as it has the prerogative and approval from ICAO.  Therefore, I see no valid reason for Taiwan to demand China to halt this South-North flight on the M503 route because China has been flying on the M503 route for 3 years already.

Korean Hyundai is attacking the Japanese car manufacturers!

Hyundai latest advertisement focuses on its steel quality instead of its car features.  Why?

The Japanese Kobe steel scandal has affected the automotive industry and Hyundai is taking advantage of the scandal to showcase its steel quality over the Japan-made cars.

In another Korean stunt, Hyundai managed to stack 7 cars vertically to prove its steel mettle.

The polar vortex is no longer able to be contained in the Arctic and will flow to the USA and beyond.  Scientists have discovered that the Arctic is forming more ice but the Antarctic is melting its ice.  Some scientists are postulating that ice age will happen in 2030 because of the sun activity.

OMG! My friend's car was shot in Manila today!

I didn't take this picture from the internet.  This is my friend's car with a bullet hole.

My friend's car was shot while she was driving out for lunch in Manila.  Fortunately, nobody was killed or hit by the bullet.  Manila is really a dangerous place.  Therefore, please be careful when you want to go to Manila for business or leisure.

Let this picture be a warning to all.

Many US retailers are closing down due to good economic growth! Does this make sense?

http://clark.com/shopping-retail/major-retailers-closing-2017/

More than 5,000 USA retail stores closed down in 2017 and more than 1,000 reported that they would close down in 2018.  The retail store closures will definitely be in thousands in 2018.

If the USA economy is growing well and yet the retail stores are closing down in droves, this can only mean 2 things. Either the government is fudging the numbers or there is a structural change in the consumer shopping habit.

Could this be the so-called Amazon effect that revolutionized the shopping trend in the USA?

We'll let you ponder over this.  Good economic growth but more retail store closures is definitely an uncanny phenomenon.

China is cracking down on cryptocurrencies and bitcoin miners are fleeing.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-miners-reportedly-fleeing-china-190445805.html

This is not surprising if you understand how China works.

The bitcoin fanatics are just in denial that the bitcoin ban in China is just temporary and bitcoin trading will resume in China soon.  However, we've stated in our previous post that this is impossible.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/10/bitcoin-soars-to-all-time-high.html

If the bitcoin trading ban is just temporary in China, the bitcoin miners won't flee and forsake their set up costs.

US rig count - 924

HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. declined by five this week to 924.

That exceeds the 665 rigs that were active this time a year ago.

Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes reported on Friday that 742 rigs were drilling for oil and 182 for natural gas this week.

Among oil- and gas-producing states, Wyoming gained two rigs and New Mexico and Texas each gained one.

Louisiana lost six rigs, Oklahoma declined by two and North Dakota lost one.

Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah and West Virginia were unchanged.

The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981. It bottomed out in May of 2016 at 404.

Paris security is getting from bad to worse.

A Paris policewoman got attacked by mob recently.

If a policewoman could get attacked, what about ordinary people?  When the bad guys are not afraid of the police anymore, the security situation is really bad in Paris.

SIA top management doesn't know how to run an airline anymore.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/singapore-airlines-sia-cancels-credit-card-fees-9831474

Can you believe this?  The top management wanted to impose the credit card fee on 3 Jan 2018 and then retracted the imposition the next day.

The credit card fee imposition was a major decision that would affect all consumers and could irk the customers.  Therefore, this decision was not something to be taken lightly and must be done through thorough analysis and planning.  However, the top management just went ahead with this decision and retracted it the next day.

This farce shows that the top management doesn't know how to run an airline anymore by making a major decision lightly without much consideration.

Taiwanese boss knew that the oil shipment on the detained HK ship would be sold in international waters.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/taiwan-investigates-man-over-illegal-085215008.html

We've stated previously that Taiwan was responsible for the illegal oil shipment to NK.  Trump and the western media were just embarking on a smearing campaign against China.

We've been proven right now.  The Taiwan fishery boss admitted that he knew that the oil shipment would be sold in international waters.  He chartered the HK ship to sell oil in international waters.
