Earnings Season Needs a Broader Money-Flow Signal
Strong Q2 results are creating bright spots, but a handful of rising stocks does not mean money has returned to the whole market. New investors should read price action, market breadth and turnover together.
A larger fleet does not yet mean more flying capacity
Vietnam has added aircraft to its registry, yet 17 A321neos remain in long-term storage because of engine shortages. For investors, the revenue-producing fleet is the number that matters.
DBM's 35% Dividend: Buy by 20 July
DBM will close its register for a 35% cash dividend this week. The key details are the last purchase date, the after-tax cash amount and the reference-price adjustment.

VN-Index Falls for a Third Week, Rebound Unconfirmed
A nearly 47-point intraday reversal showed that buyers were willing to step in at lower prices. Market breadth, turnover and the next session, however, did not yet confirm a short-term recovery.
