Never did see Benjamin Graham gripe about current ratio. 
I think acid test ratio is more critical for purposes of assessing liquidty, and for that I' d go further to scrutinise accounts receivable.   
Not sure where the fool pick this up, let me check my Benjamin Graham book for clues.      I never do trust analysts, they like to sensationalise and how lian, coz it' s not their money being invested.

Great sales gone liao. 
However, working in SIA&rsquo s favour is the apparently low risk that an investment in the company carries. The company carries negligible debt of only S$25m, which is peanuts for a company with a book value of around S$1.4b. It also pales into insignificance when compared to the net current asset value of the company, which stands at just over S$930m.
The healthy balance sheet leaves SIA with a current ratio of three, which is comfortably above the value of two that Benjamin Graham would hope to see.

Still within the magic number. Not for contra. Reasonable dividend payout even when aircraft services are in cold mode. SIA not MAS......

SIA Engineering has been showing good resistance and support these couple of days... time to buy? :D
Yup! i vested at 4.6. I hope it goes up soon. ^.^ Good luck people,
The price has gone up to 4.64, resistance at 4.65, if it breaks this point, likely to go on to 4.70.
Not a counter for contra play, this is a mid to long term investible stock.
 
Gone up by a couple of cents. 
Prospective buyers do need to know that analysts' reports attributed MH accidents to lower repair and maintenance of engines at SIA Engineering and therefore partially explaining the slowdown in earnings in the first quarter results.
There is also speculation that overcapacity may require some time to clear.
Those are the negatives.
DYODD.      Expect this will be slowly crawling, it is a stock for long term holders.
Crawling up.

Figured that MAS close down, SIA would benefit.    SIA Engineering as the support service would also see more biz.

I think this is a gem that has been disregarded by the market, and should make a swift comeback.  Where to find such highly profitable co.s?
Ebola threat is not as bad as we had imagined previously, as it is a contact disease rather than one spread through the air.    And there seems a cure being tried out presently.
                               
 
Can nibble a bit to test it. Market very volatile.
