  TheContrarian Wise men say ..... only fools rush in. This is a bear market, take your time, more people hoping to get out. 28/11/2018 21:11 Fabien Extraordinaire exactly, more people getting out. that's when i'm coming in. hahaha 28/11/2018 21:25 ks5S https://www.nst.com.my/business/2018/11/435445/affin-banks-q3-net-profit-jumps-rm145m-revenue-rm496m 28/11/2018 21:44 adstey Dividend of 5 cts peanut, at least 10 cts to make up div yield of 10cts/RM2.40=4.16%. Should at least to match FD rate of 4% for investors incentive. 29/11/2018 12:25 aklobi Lol & TheContrarian.. think the stock may go down end of month? Intending to add 04/12/2018 16:35 aklobi Adstey.. these are not the bursa rules, these are the herder’s rules. But I’m not part of the herd. I’m a wolf ;) 06/12/2018 06:27 maityson all taiko, may i know what is Dividend (with Dividend Re-Investment Plan)? 11/12/2018 17:49 TheContrarian Malaysia could embark on its biggest banking merger to create ASEAN's largest bank nudging out Singapore's DBS from that position through a mega merger anchored by Maybank to glue together CIMB, RHB, Ambank and Affin. Maybank can scoop up the other banks at around their book values, something that may not have been possible previously when values were higher. 17/12/2018 23:36 joetay7 if the 5 banks merged, that means no so many banking stocks to play. so better dont merge.

TheContrarian help.. considering buying 24/12/2018 01:51 TheContrarian As expected price eventually drift down. It's a bear market now. Price also adjusted for 5 sen dividend. 24/12/2018 15:40 aklobi TheContrarian.. I’ve been consumed with my new job.. hence the fact I’m not following.. when is it a good time to buy? 24/12/2018 16:26 TheContrarian Right now I am not looking to add Affin as I feel I can make more elsewhere in the short term. Different people have different risk appetite. For a banking stock, present price is reasonably cheap and bear in mind there's not much free float in Affin as LTAT, Boustead and Bank of East Asia Ltd already owned close to 80%. So, when a merger comes, the price will move up rapidly. 25/12/2018 19:07  Icon8888 I am in this stock is slow, but almost impossible to lose money at this level 11/01/2019 12:51 Richard Jayasuriya Maybe because the general outlook for the banking sector is not so rosy. 11/01/2019 13:31 dannyleonglohman yes... whole banking sector is looking bad and stagnant at the moment 11/01/2019 15:49 dannyleonglohman this is a good opportunity for long term investment (1-2 years), in next few weeks the current situation probably not going to change much. 11/01/2019 15:50 TheContrarian Many, many other counters also undervalued during a bear phase of the stockmarket. Affin needs to be involved in a merger with another banking group to unlock its value. 14/01/2019 15:36 joetay2 i m punting for this play as well.

Affin needs to be involved in a merger with another banking group to unlock its value. 14/01/2019 15:58 TheContrarian I have never studied BIMB, so I don't know much about it. Affin caught my attention because it is trading at a huge discount to its net assets. The market doesn't think highly of Affin's management and neither do I. I take up a position in Affin because I think one day a merger between Affin and another banking group will take place and when it does, Affin's value will be unlocked. Limited downside risk as Affin is making consistently good profits and giving consistently reasonable dividends and potentially huge upside to share price if merger materializes. 14/01/2019 21:39 TheContrarian I always think that a bigger banking group would acquire Affin, possibly Maybank. Affin has a strong investment bank in Affin-Hwang, so there is synergy for Maybank to acquire Affin. It is up to the government to induce a merger. 15/01/2019 19:11 titus Contrarian, thanks for the reply. I find bimb is more attractive in terms of earning but of course in terms of valuation (Nta), affin is better. 16/01/2019 10:47 TheContrarian Yes, BIMB earnings and dividends are impressive. But I don't know whether Islamic banks practise the same prudence like traditional banks in providing for loan provisions. If they do, then it's good. 16/01/2019 11:40 titus BIMB already inching upward at a tortoise pace but this affin is still swinging back and forth ........really bang balls... 12/02/2019 13:56 TheContrarian LTAT, Boustead Holdings and Bank of East Asia all reinvested their dividends as additional shares. This has reduced further the percentage of free float from the enlarged share capital. 13/02/2019 11:49  |
