STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-Index down, weighed by Q3 earnings caution

Singapore shares were lower, with Citigroup saying that

third-quarter corporate earnings will likely leave investors

with weakened expectations as there have been more negative

revisions than positive ones.

The Straits Times Index (STI) was down 0.5 percent

at 3,041.37 points, while MSCI index of Asia-Pacific shares

outside Japan slipped 0.1 percent.

Keppel Corp Ltd was one of the biggest losers on

the index, falling as much as 2.3 percent. The stock had fallen

nearly 5 percent since the world's largest rig builder reported

a 15 percent fall in third-quarter net profit.

"In Singapore, a bottoming of export trends typically leads

stock market and GDP cycles  investors will need to see a

recovery trend in exports to drive the STI higher," Citi said.

It said it prefers stocks such as Hongkong Land Holdings Ltd

, Noble Group Ltd, Neptune Orient Lines Ltd

and Global Logistic Properties Ltd.

Recent earnings trends have been weaker than expected at

firms with higher yields, such as Singapore Press Holdings Ltd

and Hutchison Port Holdings Trust, Citi

said, adding that it remains underweight on banks.

Shares of drinks and property firm Fraser and Neave Ltd

, a takeover target of a company linked to a Thai

billionaire, fell as much as 1.8 percent. There was a married

deal of 688,000 shares at S$9.24 each.

F&N shares continued to trade above TCC Assets Ltd's offer

price of S$8.88 a share in anticipation of a rival bid by

Overseas Union Enterprise Ltd, a company controlled by

Indonesia's Lippo Group.

STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-Brokers raise NOL target after first

profit in 7 quarters

Several brokers raised their target prices on Neptune Orient

Lines Ltd (NOL) after the container shipping firm

swung to a net profit for its third quarter, breaking six

consecutive quarters of losses.

NOL posted a net profit of $50 million for the three months

ended September, compared to a net loss of $91 million a year

earlier, helped by cost cuts as well as improvements in its

liner and logistics businesses.

NOL shares were down 0.9 percent at S$1.16 on Monday. The

stock has risen 3 percent so far this year, underperforming the

15 percent gain in the broader Straits Times Index.

"We take NOL's first net profit in seven quarters as a firm

sign of a turnaround in the sector. 2014 will provide the plump

rewards for shipping lines able to endure a potentially

challenging 2013 supply situation," Maybank Kim Eng said.

The broker raised its target price to S$1.46 from S$1.35 and

maintained its 'buy' rating.

UOB Kay Hian said carriers are likely to push through

Asia-Europe rate increase of $500 per twenty-foot equivalent

unit (TEU) from Nov. 1. Carriers' capacity discipline remains

intact, which will help sustain the rate hike, UOB said.

NOL has agreed to sell its office building to Fragrance

Group for S$380 million ($311.3 million) and will book a one-off

gain of S$246 million, the broker noted. UOB upgraded NOL to

'buy' from 'hold' and raised its target to S$1.54 from S$1.26.

DBS Vickers increased its target to S$1.26 from S$1.23 and

maintained its 'hold' rating. It warned that NOL's profitability

may not be sustained in the following quarters, citing high fuel

prices and disappointing trade data from Europe.

DBS expects NOL to report a core net loss of $217 million in

2012 fiscal year, while lowering its 2013 net profit estimate by

10 percent to $178 million.

10:30 STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-Mermaid up on Seadrill deal,

contract win

Shares of Mermaid Maritime Pcl rose as much as 12

percent after the offshore services provider said Seadrill Ltd

plans to acquire its associate and its joint venture

won a $530 million five-year contract.

Mermaid shares leapt as high as S$0.38, the strongest level

since August 2011. Some 3.6 million shares changed hands, 2.4

Seadrill bought 12.2 million shares in Mermaid's associate,

Asia Offshore Drilling Ltd (AOD), at $5.00 each on Friday.

Seadrill, which now has 64.23 percent in AOD, will then make a

cash offer for the remaining shares.

Last week, Mermaid said its joint venture had secured a

five-year contract, with an option for another two years, for

offshore inspection, repair and maintenance services.

Mermaid's potential revenue is between 60 and 70 percent of

the contract value, the company said, without disclosing the

name of the client.

Does Video Game Addiction Fix Itself? | World of Psychology

Video game addiction ? also known as problem video gaming ? is an issue the media loves to hype (along with ?Internet addiction?). Such gaming addiction is hard to define, but like pornography, some professionals say they ?know it when they see it.?

One of the possible hypotheses put forth about these kinds of technology addictions back in 1999 was that what we were seeing wasn?t a behavioral addiction at all. Instead, it was suggested we were seeing the predictable adaptive behaviors of humans to unfamiliar stimuli in their lives. In this case, that stimuli was entertainment technology.

Emerging evidence suggests that this may be the case. And the really good news?

Video game addiction may resolve itself on its own ? simply with time.

The new research was a three-stage, longitudinal study designed to measure participants over an 18-month period. A total of 393 participants took part in an online survey advertised on Australian gaming websites. They were then asked to complete followup surveys at 6-month and 18-month intervals, with 117 participants doing so.

The surveys collected demographic information, video game playing behaviors, administered a problematic video game playing test, and depression, anxiety, and stress scales.

So what did the researchers find?

At baseline, there were 37 self-identified problem gamers, and 80 self-identified normal gamers. A criterion validity check found that problem gamers scored significantly higher on a test of problem video gaming symptoms (i.e., PVGT) at baseline than normal gamers. [...]

Both groups experienced a significant decline in problem gaming symptoms over an 18-month period, controlling for age, gaming activity, and psychopathological symptoms.

In other words, the self-identified problem gamers at the beginning of the study significantly reduced their problem gaming behavior 18 months later. So much so, they looked just like the ?normal? gamers at the end of the study ? their video gaming addiction had simply disappeared.

Previous research has found that problem gaming as a teen is the strongest predictor of future problem gaming as an adult. The current study, however, didn?t look at teens ? only adults.

Nonetheless, the researchers have some theories as to why they saw problem video gaming disappear:

An explanation for this general decline in problem gaming symptoms in both groups is not readily apparent based on these data although the concept of maturing out over time is well established in the addiction literature. Inspection of problem gaming trajectories may suggest that a spontaneous recovery effect occurred among all gamers, as has been observed in studies that have monitored problem gamblers not receiving treatment.

It may be that problem gaming symptoms at baseline generally represented the most severe stage of respondents? problem gaming habit, at which point problem symptoms remitted naturally over the course of the study.

The new study suggests that for most adults, video game addiction may very well resolve itself on its own over time.

If you can?t wait (or your relationship or work or studies can?t wait) for this possibility, it never hurts to see a mental health professional for a problem like this. A therapist can still help with problems of this nature, even if it?s not a formal diagnosis.

MAN SE to halt truck production for 4 weeks: sources

BERLIN (Reuters) - MAN SE plans to halt production of heavy-duty vehicles for four weeks at two German factories as the economic downturn curbs demand from freight transporters and construction firms, company sources said.

Stoppages at MAN will affect about 15,000 workers and initially be limited to five days starting on Monday, paralyzing headquarters in Munich and another plant in Salzgitter, the two sources said on Saturday on condition they not be identified because the matter is confidential.

Truck production will be suspended again between Dec 24 and Jan 11, the sources said, confirming an article by Sueddeutsche Zeitung which reported the stoppages earlier on Saturday.

A spokesman for MAN only confirmed the steps planned for next week, saying the company may announce more details when it publishes third-quarter earnings next Tuesday. He also confirmed that MAN plans to scale down administrative operations at its main truck and bus division from Monday.

Sources said MAN, which is owned by Volkswagen , may also limit truck production in Munich and Salzgitter to four days per week in November, though a decision hasn't been taken yet. Planned cutbacks have all been coordinated with the company's works council, they said.

MAN has said that its third-quarter group orders were lower than the second-quarter intake as the downturn in business exceeded normal seasonal patterns. MAN also makes diesel engines and turbo machinery.

The truckmaker may report that its third-quarter underlying earnings slumped 38 percent to 199 million euros ($257.34 million), a Reuters poll showed.

Registrations of new heavy trucks weighing 16 metric tons or more tumbled 14.8 percent to 18,529 vehicles across the European Union in September, extending the year-to-date drop to 7.7 percent, the European car makers' lobby (ACEA) said last Friday.
