I hope to hear some feedback abt this stock as i bought it earlier. Thanks.
pls drop further at least 1.40 then i will buy...gd stock but now -ve news only
SMRT is unique because even if service standards remain poor, people still have to take the train to work and home, thus generating revenue. Unlike restaurants where if the food or service is bad, we can go to another restaurant... in this case, there is no alternative
Question is when will it be a good time to buy.
AFTER the troubles are OVER (confirmation - but will these troubles ever be the last of the last for congested trains?)
or
BEFORE the troubles are OVER (betting element - that is if you bet the trouble will one day be over)
Stock price already bounced off 1.60 low and consolidating @ 1.70
I believe SMRT would be a good buy after all these troubles are over for the long term.
maybe it is just a story that is made to ease the frustration of the public~
Did SMRT really paid for the fine? Who knows?

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has fined rail operator SMRT $2 million for two major disruptions last December. The penalty - $1 million each for the Dec 15 and Dec 17 incidents on the North-South Line - is the maximum penalty under the Rapid Transit Systems Act. In a release, the LTA said SMRT had failed to 'exercise due diligence and vigilance expected of a public transport operator, and to maintain its network in good and efficient working condition'. It added that its internal investigations had found that both incidents were preventable. The authority said it will continue to work closely with SMRT to implement the Committee of Inquiry's recommendations. It will also work with the rail operators to put in place a 'more holistic and robust framework' for maintenance issues, so problems can be detected and fixed early. The $2 million fine will be donated to the Public Transport Fund to help needy families with transport fares.

Good karma.
Perhaps LTA takes a bigger portion of the 900 mil maintenance cost.

LTA fines SMRT $2M for Dec breakdowns.
I worry the recent up trend just to cushion the effect after the investigation report made public. Till now, still no idea on how SMRT and LTA share the 900 mil maintenance cost.
Circle Line's faulty cables to be replaced, SMRT not at fault
http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_814190.html At least SMRT siam this one.
Most counters drop after XD, as the money that is paid out definitely directly impacts on the value of the company. Also, don't expect any major good news now and a significant expenditure is expected for use in fixing all the recent faults and physical deficiencies for the MRT tracks and such. Also, retail space in train stations is pretty stagnant, though a good source of additional income from stall rental. to me, by my still-in-the-process-of-learning TA... price still has room to drop to at least $1.57.
Ichimoku: 9d conversion is well below 26d base and both are downtrending. Cloud has a medium band with downward bias.
ADX (14d): at 40, shows the current trend is strong. Current trend being a gentle downward movement on price.
However, Bolliger band and stochastics indicate that there will be a small rebound in the near future.
Whatever the case, DYODD and BOSAYOR! If no sudden major bad news from Eurozone or the U.S., or no major natural calamity... the above should bear consideration. Conversely, if some local altruistic billionaire decides to pay for all the repair work for the SMRT c**k-ups... well...
