Sometimes, we see companies being taken over and, many times, at a huge premium. Have you wondered how takeover targets are determined?

People sometimes have this impression that AK71 only eats oatmeal, barley, bread and cheap hawker fare. Well, AK71 consumes "atas" (high class) food also from time to time. Honest!
Today, AK71 decided to go Western because Western is atas. So, fish and chips? Atas or not? OK, ok. I know fish and chips was a working class food in Britain. Not very atas. How come it acquired an atas status in Asia?
What about sausages and mashed potato? In Britain, those who read "Bash Street Kids" would know, the dish is called "bangers and mash". This is a traditional British offering and also a common working class dish.
See? All these "atas" Western dishes are actually not so in Britain!
Anyway, I had a craving for sausages and mashed potato. So, I feigned ignorance and pretended it was atas.
At the supermarket, I picked a box which looked promising. The words "Vienna sausage" were printed on the box.
Vienna? Wasn't that place home to Mozart and Beethoven? Well, if the sausages are good enough for talented musicians, they are good enough for AK71!
Maybe, they will bring out the musician in me... You don't think so? Neither did I.

I am pleasantly surprised to see LMIR's DPU improving some 20% from 0.74c to 0.89c, quarter on quarter. At the price of 55c a unit, annualised, we are looking at a DPU of 3.56c and a distribution yield of 6.47%.

I like rights issues when the money raised is used to fund yield accretive activities. Basically, it means I am investing more money for higher returns.
However, I don't like rights issues when the money raised is used to strengthen balance sheets. Returns, in all likelihood, would be watered down and investors end up immediately poorer.
In the last few years, I provided quite a few examples of rights issues, both good and bad, here in ASSI. Today, a full page ad and in full colour, no less, in The Business Times, encouraged unit holders to "SECURE YOUR 10% DPU YIELD" and "ACCEPT YOUR ENTITLEMENTS TODAY". This was an ad by Rickmers Maritime Trust (RMT).

We might have heard people saying "low can go lower and high can go higher" and if we have been an investor for a while, we would know that this is indeed the case.
