| The Happening isn´t that bad overseas | | 2008-06-18 12:12:30 | | Ok, ‘The Happening’ is a terrible movie, but taking the number one spot overseas is quite an accomplishment. M. Night Shyamalan’s movie made $32.1 million at 5,714 screens in 88 territories. That’s about $5,600 per screen. ‘The Incredible Hulk’ came in second, but managed to make almost $10,000 per screen at 38 markets.The $32.1 million comes after Shyamalan’s awful box office result of ‘Lady in the Water’ in 2006. The fantasy only made $30 million overseas during its lifetime. | | By: El Cine | | |

| Property overseas: Unsung Italy | | 2008-06-01 05:27:00 | | But those who dream of owning an Italian farmhouse in Tuscany will find the prices far from romantic. In sought-after parts of the region (so-called Chiantishire, for example) and even in neighbouring Umbria, an average four-bedroom, stone farmhouse can cost about €1.2 million.The British outpost, however, comprises a relatively small area of Italy. If you venture an hour north into Lunigiana or south into Emilia-Romagna, equivalent properties can cost up to half as much - and there is still plenty for classics scholars to sink their teeth into. "It's more of a buyer's market," says Mr Fawcett, "so long as you are sensible and check all the facts."For those prepared to explore, there are many lovely, old houses within easy reach of unspoilt coast and countryside all over Italy.

Really, I got it, and it was a surprise for me. I mean 2000 out of 7000 got the offer and I'm one of them. Thanks a lot for my friends and who had been there for me all this time.

| A Retail Investor's Musings on Dupont and Overseas Shipholding Group | | 2008-04-18 22:57:00 | | I've had some shares of Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG), a tanker company, for a while. I'm wondering whether I should sell it, and buy it back later at a cheaper price. It's $74.9 a share as of this Friday's close. It's been as high as $91.49 in July before tanker rates plunged. Since then, OSG has waddled between the $50s and $70s. In addition to the 52 week high, I had multiple chances to sell in the $80s and mid $70s and buy in the mid $50s, but I did nothing.Each time the cause of the run up was slightly different. First there were the idiots on Fast Money on CNBC, pushing the stock. (That turned out the best time to sell, as it often does.) Then there were the interest rate cuts, which were predictable. Then there was a rise in shipping prices. Then, around the time of the last quarterly report, which wasn't very good, the price spiked for a day for unknown reasons. This time, the stock's going up because of speculation that Frontline (FRO) will buy it out. Frontline's chairman | | By: Slacker Wealth | | |

| Buying Overseas Property | | 2008-04-06 11:13:00 | | Buying Overseas PropertyCopyright © 2005 Hugh GriffinFourteen Top Tips for Overseas Property Investment:1. Buy what you want to buy. The most important decision when buying a property is deciding exactly what you want the property to do for you. Is it purely for short term capital gain to provide a one-off profit over a particular period of time? Or is it to provide long term regular income? Or is it mainly for your own use as a holiday home?2. Ignore the hard sell. Many people go to dedicated overseas property exhibitions or go on overseas trips or "inspection flights" to view properties. It is important to stay focused on what you originally had in mind. Do not be swayed by the hard sell of estate agents.3. Be careful buying off-plan. Off-plan involves buying a property before it is built. You cannot see exactly what you are buying and it can be a long time before the property and surrounding development is completed. Problems can arise if the building is not constructed according t | | By: Onlinelar | | |

| Bang Overseas trading at less than half of its IPO price | | 2008-03-14 02:42:00 | | Comparing the IPO price of Bang Overseas and its current price would encapsulate the current market scenario or at least that of companies that have listed on the bourses recently.Textile firm Bang Overseas is currently trading at about Rs 97, which is less than half of its IPO price.The Mumbai-based apparel maker had got listed at decent premium of 20% at Rs 250 as against its issue price of Rs 207 on Feb. 20, 2008. But in less than a month, the scrip has been hammered to shape.The scrip was last trading almost flat at Rs 96.70 on volumes of 15,986. (10.54 a.m., Friday)And Bang Overseas is not an anomaly. It has been a norm.Whether it will come close to its issue price even in near future? Many would shudder to answer this question. | | By: Indian stock markets | | |

| Pinoy Boxers Fighting in Mismatches Overseas Continue | | 2007-07-05 19:36:00 | | I want to post this today because I am disgusted with the ongoing practice of sending Pinoy boxers in mismatches against Thai boxers. In this article, veteran boxing writer, Ronnie Nathanielsz, writes about the mismatches in Thailand that are still happening after the ban against importing Pinoy boxers to Thailand was lifted. It seems that we have not learned from the tragic death of Lito Sisnorio who died after fighting an obvious against former world flyweight champion, Chatchai Sasakul. I thought that the GAB will keep a tighter control in importing our fighters in Thailand but it seems that we are still sending our fighters to deadly mismatches. I can understand that Thai matchmakers want to impress Thai boxing fans by letting their boxing superstars win against International fighters but they should understand that obvious mismatches are very dangerous. In addition, what good is a fight if one of the fighters has no chance of winning. Imagine pitting a fighter with a record of 6 | | By: Pinoy Boxing | | |
