TWIN GOOD NEWS FOR 2ND HALF OF 2016

1) INCREASE OF CPO PRICES.
2) HUGE INCREASE OF FFB AS HEAVY SHOWERS EXPECTED AFTER EL NINO USHERS IN LA NINA

Looking ahead at such bright prospects YOU BETTER LOAD UP ALL OIL PALM STOCKS NOW WHILE SO MANY ARE STILL OBLIVIOUS!

Remember the Sequence

1) EAGLE SEES FIRST. Can see 5 Kilometers ahead
2) NEXT TO SEE WILL BE OTHER FLYING BIRDS - Can see 1 Kilometer away
3) THE CHICKENS ON THE GROUND SEE NOTHING AT ALL. SO WILL BE EATEN BY SYNDICATES CHASING ONLY SYNDICATED STOCKS.

So those who CAN SEE NOW will LOAD UP!!
