All the writings in this weblog are mainly for PLEASURE reading purposes. I am in NO position to recommend a call(BUY/SELL). Please check with those know-hows before you make a decision. Yes, I am just a learner, with only five years experiences in KLSE. So, please BEAR with me.
I do have my RISK talk on Thu night ... it was packed and for two hours plus, I kept talking .. about RISK. Wonder all will be bored to death? Haha ... Nothing come first in market than to understand that market is risky.
Learning Corner
Linear (code : 9504) : A monthly chart to show how RISKY the buy-n-hold. The PEAK was at RM7.50 ... well, guess what the price is today? It is traded at 1cent ... correct, it is ONE single cent. How low could it go? half cent and de-listed, right? Virtually, one could lose EVERYTHING.
Is it really possible to lose everything in markets? Well ... yes, actually. If the counter we bought de-listed and we are not compensated. Annother obvious one would be buying into call-warrants, which expired(of coz it will not be in money). So, the risk is VERY high if we do not think logically and without the needed informed-knowledge.
I have never traded Linear but it was in my stock-list in my initial years. Some counters which in my list went into PN17 or de-listed. For example : Stamford College ... as I am in education line. It went into PN17 and failed to re-structure.
Another counter I remember I was checking is NguiKee. It is just a shopping emporium counter. Well, it is because I was in KK and NguiKee is a 'large' shopping place, so I thought.
BioOsmo : It was IPO-ed when I first came into KLSE ... I thought of apply for it, 33cents. Well ... luckily I did not. It went to 20cents ... lower to 4cents ... and gorenged recently. Unless it is not de-listed, we can buy to hold till it is gorenged again? When? We could never tell ...
I have traded LCL and Evermas before ... phew, you will be lucky to get out of such speculative stocks. You lost lots of money in it ... you learned the mistakes and how to check on fundamentals. I can mention more such cases, where IGNORANTS and NEWBIES, those gamblers will be buying into such counters as it is so so ... attractive. Every aunties-uncles talk about it, all newbies interested and asked about it in forums ... and you bet, it attracts many gamblers!! KLSE-casino is the largest casino in Malaysia ... we could legally BET and try our luck!!
I think we all should advise those ignorants and newbies to get out of these stocks while can ... sell all for huge losses and then, start all over again with GOOD trading habits, good mindset ... and start to learn to trade or invest the right way ... and sleep well.
If you do not know which counters considered as speculative(all are, just matter to extent)
, then do ask those HONEST ones ... the experienced one. I do not mind answering that as it could save MANY from being sucked into these shark-infested counters!
Have to go again ...
Good Trading

hi cp teh.what do u think about knm share.for yr opinion to investor.can invest this bad fundamental and high debt stock or not in next 10 years.
2012-10-27 11:41
dear yungshen
i hv personally replied your e-mail when it was at 90cents? I have asked you to sell, cut loss ... and we DO NOT use the term INVEST in not good fundamental stocks. We certaily dislike a company asking more money(if u know about the rights issues) for non-growth purposes. Hence, it short ... NO ONE should be investing in lousy speculative stocks.
Can we trade? Yes ... we can, for experienced ones. For some punters, but please DO NOT even hold for one year. If it continue to bleed fundamentally, it will be de-listed one day. It is not easy for a company to turn-around unless in Malaysia-bolehland ... you need some connections.
Good luck in your investing. I have no comment in such counters.

cp teh let us talk about oil @ gas couters alam, perdana , knm ,thearry.this four courters which one is the best counters among four.and y is the best
2012-10-27 21:10
hi yungshen,
if you wana talk about oil & gas counter,the four counter that you mention is not the best in their sector.. in my opinion,alam is the best among them because of the strong and solid company background
2012-10-27 21:25
ya due to the slow E&P activity in the sector.. then you should include skperto,armada,mhb and dialog... they all are well-known in this sector...
2012-10-27 21:39
KNM is more worse among that four counter. High debt, financial bad and management lousy.
2012-10-27 21:43
i dun think knm is the worse.u go to check anual report every year from 2003 to 2011.every year earn profit excapt year 2011 lose profit.tq
2012-10-27 21:49
Don't see long period, just refer to 2008 until now. The price at 2008 is $3.10. From $3.10++ drop and drop non stop until $0.69++. What a worse share!
2012-10-27 21:58
then next year 2013 reach to 1.500. is no problem.any thing can happen.who knows.something share can be higher sometime can be lower

i dun think so fatty_tang . first and second quater got earning profit what.

Yungshen1 if you want is steady and vidionary management, give profit 4x a year, share go up, up, slow, slowly... Go check AXREIT. gives 6-7% every year. Put in money and collect and if got more money, Buy on weakness. NO headache counter! Can go to sleep! LOL. It's the best REIT on Bursa at the moment. It's excellent defense stock for uncertain economic times as rental is usually tied 3-5 years before a review.
MAXIS also pay 4x. RM80 x 4 quarters a year. But not sure if can pay next year as they have done before cos of stiff competition.

@yungshen, this is caused by the market sentiment. Everyone is expecting HDD sales to slump due to all the negative news. Past earnings do not necessarily reflect future earnings. Extraordinary earnings from the past 3 quarters might be due to Thailand flood resulting in high HDD prices. Nowadays Global PC sales has becoming slow and investors are not keen into semicon counters. If you read news then you should know. If you can prove everyone wrong and buy in now, then you should be able to earn from it, provided if coming reports show better than expected results.

fatty-tang HDD got a lot of market in world .some company must use pc to do their work.it wun say no customer to buy HDD.dun worry
2012-10-28 17:15
hi yungshen, you dont read much news do you. semicon industry is directly related to world economy. nowadays PC sales have slowed down nowadays. It is not as easy as 'I think sure got people buy 1 la'.

In all my comment, my last word is always TAKE PROFIT. It does not matter how speculative the counter is, if you take profit, you cannot lose. If you go in too high, then cut loss. There is no rules that you cannot buy back the shares later.
