What is the rationale behind buy-high-sell-low strategy. I have studied a few investment theories, but no one advocates this. Should i start?

GIC is wholly owned by the Government of Singapore and has three major sovereign wealth enterprises (SWE)s: GIC Asset Management Pte Ltd, GIC Real Estate Pte Ltd, and GIC Special Investments Pte Ltd.Background
In the 1970s, Singapore had a high national savings rate, thus reserves grew rapidly. The Government of Singapore decided that its reserves would be better invested in longer term and high-yielding assets. These assets would be managed by a new institution, the GIC. Established in May 22 1981 as a private company, it is now a large sovereign wealth fund. Strategies and Objectives
The fund was established after a decision by Deputy Prime Minister and Monetary Authority of Singapore Chairman Dr. Goh Keng Swee to invest Singapore’s growing reserves worldwide for better returns. Furthermore, the Government Investment Corporation of Singapore is to facilitate government savings necessary to meet power strikes, budget deficits, tax hikes, rising oil prices, currency volatility, global disinflation and to support the nation’s wealth over the long term.Governance
The Ministry of Finance of Singapore represents the dominant authority of the GIC. The Government of Singapore and Monetary Authority of Singapore set the risk tolerance parameters and expected returns for the long term of the GIC. Three board committees are responsible for ensuring that the GIC operates in an ethically and fiscally positive manner. These committees include: Investment Committee, Risk Committee, and Remuneration Committee.

To be fair. I think i read that they bought the entire place (stadium, hotels, etc) at 100b but now selling only the stadium for 87b. So they are keeping the hotels, etc.

Whether or not they are making a profit/loss I've never understood the rational for the GLC. Why is tax money being used to invest:confused:
Other than the elites who are getting mult-million paychecks & bonues, what do "lesser mortals" get?

The fact that they have so much tax dollars to gamble with shows that Sporeans are being over taxed :eek:

And quickly reporting half-truth again to cover up the loss? In this latest report, it is silent on the purchase price. Very worrying that the nation's reserves are in such hands.

<!--close .storyLeft--><!--start of story image, if any--> Together with the sale of the stadium - for 87 billion yen (S$1.3 billion) - and the rents collected, GIC essentially recouped all of its costs from the acquisition. On top of that, GIC continues to own both the hotel and the mall. -- PHOTO: GIC

<!--start of story text-->When the floodlights come on at the Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome, the first pitch of the season thrown at the stadium will be a special one for its home team Fukuoka Softbank Hawks.
The reigning champions of Japan's baseball series will finally have a home they can truly call their own.
The Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) agreed to sell the Fukuoka Yahoo! Japan Dome, home of the Hawks, to the team's owner telco Softbank for 87 billion yen (S$1.3 billion), in a deal announced last week.
In what appears to be a win-win deal for both parties, the team gets its own base while GIC could reap a sizeable profit on an acquisition made in 2007.
