There're a many investment books out there. Some are quite skewed. Was thinking of something along the lines of an investment textbook, where I can get the basics right. Any suggestions?
To both:
Thanks for your replies! :)
If you're really the hard-core type, I suggest you read CFA textbooks.
If you're just looking for general knowledge, pick up books in the library that cover basics like P/E ratio, ROE etc. (That's how I started out.)

I think you are overwhelmed.
1. Take time out.
2. Sort out those tasks that need to be completed.
3. Prioritize them.
4. Tackle them one by one.Hopefully by focusing one task at a time, the stress level can be reduced.
If you keep thinking about it, the feeling will just get worse.

Judging from Temasek's past investments, it seems to be highly concentrated in a few sectors. Not sure how much diversification it has.
A question lingers in my mind: Has Temasek been blinded by its pursuit for fat profits (by taking large bets in few companies) at the shareholder's (SG government's) expense?

Honestly speaking, during the time of purchase nobody actually know how bad and deep the CDOs are and how long this crisis is going to last, more analysts are simply guessing. Those like Jim Roger who short financial will tell you bad things while others will say that it is a rare opportunity to buy such big financial institution.If you have live long enough to witness the past economic cycle, you would have realised that those who dare to buy when everyone are staying out always end up as the biggest winner.
True. But we buy on the way up, not on the way down. Buying on the way down is called "loss averaging".
Uncertainty is working against Temasek now. When would ML shares come back to their original purchasing price? Nobody knows.
And would ML require a bailout just like Bear Stearns did? Again, nobody knows.
Indeed, this isn't investing anymore. This is speculating.
