Robert Stone, Singapore investor
MARKET INTEREST in Anwell Technologies has developed over the last few months after it reached key milestones in its nascent solar business.
Long before that, sometime last year, Singapore investor Robert Stone decided to pump $2 million into Anwell’s solar business via the purchase of convertible bonds.
He didn’t stop there. To date, he has accumulated 4.5 million Anwell shares – even though he figures that the company could report operating losses for a few quarters to come.
Read his views on Anwell and the solar industry’s prospects here.

Few Singapore-listed companies have the longevity of Teckwah, which was founded in 1968.
TO INVESTOR David Yee, when a company has $40 million cash on hand, 0.01% gearing and a market capitalization of $54 million, it’s time to buy the stock.
Teckwah Group (its IPO was in 1994) was the company that fit the bill.
David started a thread on Teckwah on the NextInsight forum, which caught our attention and we decided to contact the company's management for a meeting. Read what we learnt here.

 CSST has a sprawling factory in Shenzhen.
NYSE and Nasdaq Dubai-listed China Security & Surveillance Technology Inc (CSST), the country’s biggest public homegrown manufacturer and installer of security and surveillance systems, has enjoyed explosive growth of late.
It has been buoyed by domestic firms and local governments beginning to see enhanced security systems as a necessity rather than a luxury. Its revenue spurt should make it a much-watched ticker on Wall Street.
