Ikonfx.com anyone knows anything about this investment? A friend just recommended it to me and said is a safe investment :). Any feedback?
I have not heard of it, noting I know nuts abt investment.
If it is too gd to be true, then better avoid. -
You have to define what it means by "safe". Do you mean securement of your funds in this platform, or returns or what? You will need to understand the nature of fx to understand its risk. If you talk about securement of funds, there is always a chance of illiquid, depending on the volume transacting. If you are talking about the returns, forex itself is high risk, although there are people out there teaching you how to get better steady returns and etc.
Well, the fact is there are always people who wins and losses. thats this game. The website that you put down is a broker based platform. For brokers, they will always gain whether you sell or buy. What they are transacting though (whether is it real or fake), I do not have the reviews. -

In Singapore there are only a few entities that can gives guaranteed returns due to their financial backing (with due d done by Mas). These are usually either banks or insurance companies. Other than that, it’s usually not "secured" unless they mean by past returns. Most alt investments don’t have policy wordings one, so there’s no clause to give securement. There may be disclaimer, so do read it. Check that the company is approved by Mas to deal it’s financial products first. -

i thought Heflux debt ratio is not common percentage range , high side[/quote]The 6% is attractive plus Hyflux's perfect record of paying and retiring its bonds in a timely manner. (Ok, ok... Raising this bond is to retire two earlier bonds due this year)
It would appear that Hyflux is pursuing growth funded by debt and it appears logical under the current low interest rate environment. Given Hyflux's name, other options could include issuing more shares or spinning some of its water plants into a business trust, so the downside risks appear manageable.
