Someone even dares to say "the amount involved is trivial"...
He thinks US$440 millions is nothing.
He might be a multi-billionaire.

Every investment has risks, and every portfolio will have good & bad performers. Temasek is no exception. Given it was a buy-out consortium and total value only $440 million, even if Temasek were to lose everything, the amount involved is trivial. Brookstone was not a bad investment to begin with, or else someone like KKR would not be involed. Perhaps operationally Brookstone needs to be improved, therefore Spencer Spirit Holdings comes in with the ability to that. It may not be the best investment but Temasek did little wrong with this one, and Temasek’s annual returns over a 20-year period still beats other mutual funds, hedge funds and sovereign wealth funds hands-down.

An old gambling kaki once taught me a simple baccarat trick. Not 100% but quite near. Trick is to spot for "suay ka" aka unlucky gambler. Whatever the 'suay ka' bet, just bet the opposite. For example, if 'suay ka' bet banker, then go for 'player' and vice versa. For this trick to work, you must not be 'more suay' than the 'suay ka'.

Ya lor... we accustom to counter "buy high. sell low" tactic by our beloved Temasek investment practice.
But, I am still painful to see our precious millions-billions tax dollars were gone and no one is accountable for it?

Yet to come across HC being invited to give speech at business seminars. If she's that great, sure to be in demand.

Yeah for one of the most powerful women in the world she is not that prominent as an interviewee. Could be she will turn out to be a financial Sarah Palin. Imagine if Warren Buffet stayed as mute as she. I can only recall her statement about abandoning Micropolis as triage. In other words her bandwidth is very narrow.
