Daily Briefing: Is StarHub's stock price getting cheaper; Subsea 7 in talks for stake in Singapore's EMAS Chiyoda Subsea

And here are 8 blue chip stocks investors should consider this year.

From The Motley Fool Singapore: In the last 12 months, the company’s stock price has declined by 19% to S$2.73, largely due to underwhelming business results (its profit fell by 22% in the first quarter of 2017) and fears of heightened competition in the future (in December 2016, Australia’s TPG Telecom won the bid to become Singapore’s fourth telco). This may cause investors to wonder if StarHub is cheap at the moment.

From CNBC via Yahoo!: London-based offshore contractor Subsea 7 is in advanced talks to invest in Singapore's troubled EMAS Chiyoda Subsea, according to a recent plan of reorganisation submitted to U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The latest development represented a significant step forward for EMAS Chiyoda Subsea, which was forced to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. in February, after a prolonged slump in global oil prices created unsustainable operating conditions in the ultra-competitive offshore and subsea construction market.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
