Hi, 1 paint shop recommend putting 2 layers of laquer over, which will gives better protection to scratches and also gives off deep shine. Has anyone tried this? Is it better to spend $$$ on pps or on the 2x laquer?

"MERCEDES-BENZ'S US division paid a US$28.9 million (S$42.6 million) fine in December for violating federal fuel efficiency requirements" "NHTSA assessed more than US$37 million in fines from six automakers in 2008, records show." "The former DaimlerChrysler AG paid a record US$30.3 million fine in 2007 for imported passenger cars from the 2006 model year." http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNew...ory_322965.html Therefore it stands to reason that if whatever products really improve fuel efficiency significantly, they would have found their way into Mercedes-Benz and cars of other top manufacturers.

The other day I was browsing the shelves of a petrol station minimart. There was this woman who was shopping for tidbits with her son. Suddenly, she shouted to her son "THIS ONE IS MADE IN CHINA YOU ALSO WANT TO BUY?" I was so taken aback by her outburst I instinctively looked at my bag of cookies to see if they are from China. My friend has his own business and imports an edible product from China. He said his sales have dropped since the melamine affair. He related an incident where he spied on a consumer at the supermarket. The consumer picked up my friend's product but put it back when she realized it was from China. She then picked up similar products from Australia and New Zealand but realized they were much more expensive. In the end she walked away without buying. What is your opinion of China products? Are they really that bad or have they been unfairly smeared? Is something that is made in Australia or other angmo country definately superior? Is a more expensive product guaranteed to be good quality?

Investors of failed structured products to know outcome of complaints by mid-Jan SINGAPORE : The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) on Wednesday said investors who have bought failed structured products will know the outcome of their complaints by the middle of January. Investors had alleged that distributors had mis-sold the products and misrepresented the risks. Minibond investor Ismail Deen was told last week that his complaint is still being looked into. He is one of nearly 5,000 investors who have complained to 10 financial institutions (FIs). Like Mr Ismail, most investors of DBS High Notes 5, Lehman Minibonds and the Jubilee Series notes will get some answers by mid-January. Final checks are being done on some complaints. Shane Tregillis, deputy managing director, Market Conduct Group, MAS, said: "That is to take into account the recommendations of the independent persons and to make sure they have taken into account any investigation findings, and also to check for consistency." MAS said 9-in-10 complainants have been interviewed. FIs have also decided on 80 per cent of the cases, but have yet to inform investors. For clear-cut cases though, investors have already been told of the outcome. The central bank has been working with financial institutions in the past 10 weeks. Mr Tregillis said: "We have been visiting, checking ourselves just to ensure the process, looking at the teams... the FIs have put in place in recent weeks, some of them are up to 100 people." MAS said the FIs will review the complaints in a non-legalistic manner and it will be based on principles of fairness. However, they are expected to take legal defence if the investors decide to take them to court. The central bank also said investors should be prepared to bear responsibility for their investment decisions. - CNA/ms what outcome, no case means no case liao... compensate to those who do not understand the meaning of "investment"? compensate to those who do not understand english at all? then u will see sudden surge of ppl claim dun understand english, all switch to their native language liao compensate to those who "teh gong" and hope to receive some form of compensation???

STRUCTURED PRODUCTS SAGA 5 myths banks want you to believe By Larry Haverkamp (Doc Money) [email protected] 16 December 2008 1. Banks and brokers are repaying investors for the money they lost As of 10 Dec, Hong Kong banks had settled 60 of the 40,000 structured product cases (0.2 per cent). Investors got back $3.9 million of the $2 billion they invested (0.15 per cent). In Singapore, the amount is unknown. Our banks and brokers refuse to disclose it. 2. Both issuing banks and distributors are to blame for losses True, but issuing banks deserve more of the blame since they put the deals together. That is why DBS is at the centre of the storm. It structured the products - like High Notes - as well as sold them. Other issuing banks include Merrill Lynch (Jubilee Notes), Morgan Stanley (Pinnacle Notes) and Lehman Brothers (Minibonds). 3. Based on the high returns, people should have known they were getting into a high-risk investment What high returns? Take Minibonds, with sales of $508 million. It promised a 5 per cent return, which was only 1 or 2 per cent more than the same maturity government bond yields three years ago, when Minibonds were sold. A 5 per cent return did not trigger any alarms. It was reasonable. But the 5 per cent is a 'net' and not a 'gross' return since it doesn't include costs. Add the costs to get gross returns, which are much higher. Then it is easy to see that the structured product would need to take big risks to earn so much. The problem is, issuing banks around the world have an unspoken agreement: They do not reveal charges for credit and equity-linked notes. All costs are either buried in the initial pricing or deducted from the yield. No issuing bank will disclose them. 4. Issuing banks don't gain from investors' losses This is an issue with High Notes 5. Investors lost $103 million and a counterparty made $103 million. What counterparty? The prospectus says it is DBS, but DBS says it sold off its claim. Sold it to what party? For how much? Sold when? DBS won't say. It has taken the stand: 'Where required under regulatory or statutory guidelines, we will disclose the necessary.' 5. Sellers are returning investors' money DBS has charged $70 million against earnings to pay back investors. But there is a wrinkle. The $70 million also includes payments to Hong Kong investors, who suffered more losses. DBS won't say how much money goes to Hong Kong versus Singapore. It told me: 'As a matter of policy, we do not discuss individual cases, thus will not divulge how much will be paid to investors in each country.' It also won't say how much it re-purchases from investors at a discount, holds to maturity and then redeems for a profit. For example, DBS stands ready to buy back its High Notes 2 for 20 cents on the dollar. If it holds to maturity and redeems at $1.00, the bank makes a profit of 80 cents. In the worst case, High Notes 2 would default and the counterparty - DBS - gets the money that investors lose. Either way, the bank wins, thereby reducing the final costs to less than $70 million. DBS says it will not disclose the final costs - or profits - it expects from reimbursing Singapore investors.

After the recent reports on health hazardous related products manufactured in China, next time, during your shopping, would you think twice about products "Made in China"? ---------- Source: http://wineanddine.asiaone.com/Wine%252CDi...0831-23732.html Chocolates to make your skin crawl Aug. 30 - A maggot-filled box of chocolates has raised further concern about the quality of products ''Made in China.'' A South Korean consumer bought a box of imitation Ferrero Rocher during a visit to China. When he opened them back home he found they were infested with maggots. Crawling among the wrappers were dozens of maggots - identified by an expert as the larvae of a small moth. The chocolates - imitation Ferrero Rocher - were bought in China. When the buyer contacted the manufacturer they said he would only get a refund if he took the box back. Consumer rights experts also say proving the contamination occurred at source could be a problem. But even without proof it means more damage to China's already tarnished reputation.
