Musing on ColdEye Stocks Portfolio kcchongnz
Tuesday, April 24, 2012
This will be the last time I post something on Jaya Tiasa until it goes to RM13.00 cum basis or RM4.50 on an ex-basis. Naturally Jaya Tiasa is on a 15 year high, and naturally investors are loathed to buy at current levels. So, you have to do your own research and decide.
To me, this is the easiest, no-brainer, for an easy 50% within a short period of time. Possibly the best recommended stock in my 6 years of blogging.”
Is the above post familiar to you?
Jaya Tiasa was at the adjusted price after all corporate exercise and dividend payments of RM3.06 when the above was posted in a popular financial blog. Its price has never gone up to RM4.50, and in fact that RM3.06 price was about the highest since then. It closed at RM1.68 on 8th May 2015, or a loss of 45%, while KLCI has gone up by 26% during the same period. The negative alpha is a whopping 71%! That is incredible as the stock was highly and confidently recommended by a very popular blogger who prior to that had recommended some stocks with impressive returns.
No, I am not doing personal attack on the blogger concern, as this could happen to anybody, and myself included. Anybody can be very wrong in his analysis, Warren Buffett included. I am just trying to put forward my point that the future in investing is highly uncertain and unpredictable. The difference is that I would never make such a confident statement like that in investing. This is also the very reason that I never give stock tips when asked.
This also serves as my qualification here that I am not going to slander on a super investor in Malaysia whom I respect very much, Fong Si Ling, or more popular known as ColdEye, or 冷眼 on his portfolio of stock picks which I happened to stumbled on today as shown below.
http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/pfs/6736.jsp
You can see the degree of respect I have for Mr. Fong. I even used his principles successfully in investing as shown. So there is no reason for me to ridicule him. In fact, Mr. Fong is one of the very rare local investors with logical and fundamentally sound reasoning I have great respect on.
http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/75946.jsp
Rather I am putting forward my constructive criticisms, may be on hindsight, on the stocks in his portfolio for discussions purpose. Anyone is welcomed to criticize me too on my comments, of course preferably with some logics, facts and figures, rather than personal attack without any substantiations.
ColdEye Portfolio
The portfolio of ColdEye posted in i3investor with the arbitrary reference date on 12th March 2012 as shown in the link above is made up of diversified 18 stocks from the mid and small capitalized stocks listed in Bursa, as shown in Table 1 in the appendix. As you can see, Mr. Fong is also a value investor looking for good stocks to invest in the less travelled path.
The initial costs of each stock is adjusted to take into consideration of all corporate exercises and dividend payments as obtained from Yahoo Finance adjusted price history.
The total adjusted cost of the portfolio is RM23m, with the biggest holding in MBSB of present market value of RM7.4m. The other significant holdings are Ivory Properties, RM1.85m, Zhulian, RM1.64m, Plenitude, RM1.52m, MSC, RM1.36m, and Cepatwawasan Plantation, RM1.22m.
The portfolio incurred a loss of 8.8%, or slightly over RM2m in absolute value, against the total return of the broad market KLCI of 26.2%. This is in contrary to the loss of 23.63% as shown in the website, probably because the initial prices have not been adjusted for the corporate exercises and/or dividends. It is not a big sum of money for ColdEye as I believe he has made tenths or hundreds of million from the stock market before, but it is still a surprise to me.
The problem is, unfortunately, all the six significant large holdings underperformed the total return of KLCI for the slightly more than three year’s period from 12th March 2012 to 8th May 2015. The worst is Ivory Property, which lost a whopping RM3.2m, or 63.2%! The red chip company HBGlobal which lost 88.2%, has proven the untouchable China owned companies in Bursa. The only significant winners are FACB, 165%, and ECSICT, 104%.
The losers
Property companies generally did not do well this couple of years because of the cooling measures taken by Bank Negara in curbing the heated property market which has been rising unabated before the measures were put in place. However, there is no excuse for Ivory as it has been doing very badly even all other property companies were making huge profit before the cooling measures. I couldn’t understand why ColdEye put so much bullets into this stock, except reading that it was having very good prospect for its projects in Penang, the large unbilled sales etc. which obviously were false. Ivory is in fact one of the stocks in my list of lemons here, a stock to avoid at all costs.
http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/45373.jsp
It has earnings but no cash coming in. Keep on borrowing money. Doggy financial reports with one-time-off item in land sale as profit, and “gain from sales of shares of part of a development” as profit, and even as cash flow!
The hope that it can make a lot of income from its Penang project didn’t come true. All I can say is:
“Hope is not a viable strategy in investing”
The other property company of Plenitude is not too bad with a total return of 17.9%, slightly underperformed KLCI. I have this stock in my portfolio too as a net net current asset investment.
http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/59102.jsp
At RM2.31 now, it is below the price of RM3.15 when I wrote the article above. It appears that I was wrong about its price too, at least for the short-term, hopefully not for the long-term.
The biggest loser in percentage term is HB Global. Even an experienced investor like ColdEye can be fooled by the financial shenanigans of China Company. So where does a small time retail investor stand? To me, HB Global is just like another Chinese stock, CSL, which is also in my list of lemons above.
The failure in investing in the high dividend yield HBGlobal at that time brings me to another peril in an investing strategy, the high dividend yield strategy which I have written here.
http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/62033.jsp
Before fallen, the dividend yield of HB Global was very high at double digits. Similarly for MSC (-32.5%), CSCSteel (-20.4%), and NCB (-20.3%) which were with high single digit dividend yields. This answers my question in the above post as below,
“High dividend Yield Investment in a Volatile Market: A Sure Win Strategy?”
The plantation companies of Cepatwawasan and Kretam suffered losses of 25% and 5.3% respectively when the market was up by 26.2% during the same period. Cepatwawasan was having a reasonable 12% ROIC and was selling cheap at less than 5 times Ebit. Again the market, whether it is the stock market, or the commodity market such as oil palm, Tin, crude oil etc. is highly unpredictable. When every analyst and investor predicted that the rise in palm oil price seemed unabated, it turned the other way round. The same thing happened to tin price for MSC, and crude oil price.
Another plantation company, TDM, is up by 80.2% instead, mainly because it was a real value stock then with low market valuations. It had a high return on invested capital of 27%, but yet selling at an enterprise value of just 5 times earnings before interest and tax. It also has some significant health care business which shield it from the poor palm oil price. Its corporate exercise also has probably unlocked its value.
EAH (-16.7%) is another company kept on recommended by this popular blogger for its prowess in growth strategy by acquisitions. It has also made a few corporate exercises in rights and bonus, “free” warrants etc., trying to boost its share price. I have never placed too much faith in growth by acquisition as research has not shown that it is shareholder value enhancing, rather a lot of shareholder values have been destroyed by these corporate moves. I don’t pay much attention to bonus issues and free warrants as they don’t mean much to me. In fact I loath management who concentrate on playing up its share price, rather than focusing on improving their business. If I remember well, its margin and return on capital were deteriorating fast after the acquisitions.
MBSB (+19.9%) and Zhulian (+24.2%) were high growth and high return on capitals companies. However, they underperformed the market marginally since then. This goes on to prove the power of mean reversion; it is hard to keep on increase lending to low income government servants as whether they have the means to pay back, and you can push just that much in your direct sales.
I was also wrong in the projection of Zhulian’s future too as shown here:
http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kianweiaritcles/34314.jsp
The winners
Surprise, surprise, surprise. the biggest winners in ColdEye’s portfolio are the obscure and no-growth stocks of FACB at +165%, ECS at +103.6% and TDM, +80.2%, KESM +59.4%, and ChooBee, +32.6%.
FACB has not been making any money in a meaningful way. It is in fact an asset play, a negative enterprise stock with its cash and investment higher than its total liabilities. For those who are interested in what a negative enterprise value is and why it is a viable investing strategy can refer to this post:
http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/45296.jsp
ECS ICT has not much interest for punters and speculators as its major shareholders focus more on their business rather than frying their shares. It has very low margin of 2% to 3%, but that is the nature of the business model, mainly trading of computers and peripherals, and smart phones. However, it has high return on capital (28%) but trading at very low enterprise value of less than 3 times its Ebit then. It also has plenty of cash in its balance sheet without any debt. It is a stock in my portfolio here:
http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/75985.jsp
KESM (+59.4%), ChooBee (+32.6%) and KimHin (+30.4%) are also obscure stocks with low margins, but was selling cheap. Rock Chemical Industry, RCI, (+28.8%) had been privatized. This shows that
“The price you pay for a stock determines your return”
And not how fast the company grows.
Lessons for Investors
From the above analysis of ColdEye Portfolio, we can make an inference as the following:
- Finding opportunity in Superinvestor portfolios investing strategy doesn’t seem to work here with the underperformance of the portfolio by 35% compared to the broad market. Like what ColdEye had warned those who blamed him for losing money,
- 你没做功课，还赖三赖四，明明是你不会游泳，又不想去学游泳，还要跟我下海游泳？”
Translation: “You don’t do your homework, and yet blame me for your losses. You know you don’t know how to swim, but yet don’t want to learn how to swim; and yet follow me to swim in the sea?”
Yes, learn how to fish yourself, instead of depending on others to throw you fish to eat.
“In Bursa, there ain’t no tooth fairy”
- Beware of cycles. The demand for commodities such as palm oil, crude oil, tin, copper, aluminum etc. is cyclic. Do not project future growth from the past and hence overpay for the stocks. Commodity prices are also highly unpredictable. Who had predicted correctly the steep fall of crude oil price last year and its recent fast recovery?
- A high dividend yield investing is not a sure win strategy by itself as seen from the negative return of CSCSteel, NCB, MSC, and worst of all HBGlobal. It did work well for TDM and ECSICT, probably not because of their high dividend yield, but rather good companies sold at cheap prices.
- But not all good companies are good investment as you can see from Zhulian (ROIC=35%), and MBSB. There is this power of mean reversion. NCB though a good company (ROIC=15%) at good price (EV/Ebit = 6.5) at that time, can have its fundamentals changed completely and abruptly.
- Chasing growth is never my priority in investing, unless I don’t have to pay much, or best of all, no need to pay for this growth expectation. Growth by acquisition is never my favorite and it is proven in EAH here. Ivory is another failed high growth stock which before had never proven to be a good company with good management.
- Deep value investing, like the graham net net investing strategy in Plenitude doesn’t work too, or it hasn’t work? Great patience may be required. Few investors have that. But that deep value has been unlocked in FACB as shown.

TAn KW,
Thanks. But it doesn't matter. The portfolio dated 12th March 2012 is used just as illustration the uncertainties and unpredictability in investing and for learning and discussions purpose.
2015-05-10 18:55
in your opinion, which investment strategy should be used in current market? magic formula? or, asset play?
2015-05-10 19:02
"In Bursa, there ain’t no tooth fairy" - why there is two negative there - "ain't" and "no".... wouldn't 2 negative offset each other and become positive?
2015-05-10 19:04
The main problem with deep value investing into cigar butts is that time is not your friend since you are looking to realize that last puff or whatever discount from liquidation. since the business doesnt grow and liquidation value stays constant, the longer it takes to reach fair value, the higher your opportunity cost. In the case of a good growing business it is theopposite since the management can compound capital over time and thus time becomes your friend. Despite this, I still prefer deep value investing, holding a large basket of them since they are easier to analyze, and most of these type of companies are already having all the negatives priced in, chances of achieving alpha is higher. With deep value buys it is better to demand at least a 30 pc margin of safety to cushion the risk on opportunity cost

26% absolute gain from March 2012 till today is unforgivable- by the standards of a reasonably good investors, given that these 4 years generally saw good equity gains throughout the world. I think CEyed has done better than 26% but is no where near his past records.
Lesson: past success does not guarantee future achievement- on shares, investors and many other things in life.
2015-05-10 22:24
Sorry to highlight somethings not into your favor.
In the very first place you have used wrong data of his entry prices. In fact no one know what were his actual entry prices. At least I knew he asked me(indeed everybody thru newspaper) to buy Zhulian when it was somewhere <0.90. And his Zhulian was indeed almost zero cost if you adjusted it with div and bonus. If I remember correctly, he recommended cepat at somewhere 0.70, Plenitude(~1.5), MBSB(~1.2) etc all at much lower prices than your data. Yet all of them were original prices before adjustment for div, bonus or right.
The best you may say is that the value of that portfolio shrinks by 8.8% from 2012 to 8May15, but then another fault is that how do you know he did not take profit along the years.
Selective and with what criteria ?
How about his other counters with return in multiple folds such as GTronic, Tambun and apple PIE etc? The pertinent question here is how good your quoted portfolio represents his actual performance. Therefore another fault here is the setting up of the above portfolio which is neither inclusive nor representative.
Therefore I am sorry to have an opinion that this time your discussion and lessons cannot hold water because they are based on inaccurate data.
2015-05-10 23:05
bsngpg, perhaps what KC is trying to illustrate is the perils of someone buying blindly into the cold eye portfolio from the reference date in 2012. As you said no one will know what is his cost until he announces it or it appears in the annual report. Nobody will also know when he takes profit or cuts loss. The purpose of this article is to analyze the lessons that can be learnt from those stocks that were winners and losers in the time period mentioned.

I respect Coldeyed a lot and he has already amply proven himself. He has amassed great wealth in his golden days and most importantly managed to retain, if not grow, his wealth for him to be able to retire very rich.
The underperformance in the past 3 years may be due to his spending less time in analyzing the changes in the business landscape in Malaysia.
He is still an idol for many including myself, although I was lucky to turn every RM1 I invested in March 2012 to RM4 in May 2015. The great 3-year record of mine is nothing compared to what Coldeyed has accomplished over 30 years.
He is still very much someone I admire and hope to learn from.

Me: Please read what I wrote about in the article. I was referring to a portfolio set up by someone using the stock prices "arbitrary" fixed on 12th March 2012. Did I say that is ColdEye's portfolio with the entry prices as shown? Is the article talking about ColdEye lose or made money the last three years? What is the purpose of this article. to show you that ColdEye lost money in his investment,or is it about what one should care about when investing?
"The best you may say is that the value of that portfolio shrinks by 8.8% from 2012 to 8May15, but then another fault is that how do you know he did not take profit along the years."
Me: Again does the article meant to track ColdEye's wealth, or
"Rather I am putting forward my constructive criticisms, may be on hindsight, on the stocks in his portfolio for discussions purpose."
"How do I know if he did not take profit?"
Obviously I don't know. Who tracked him and knew about them? But is the article about that?
"Selective and with what criteria ?

Therefore I am sorry to have an opinion that this time your discussion and lessons cannot hold water because they are based on inaccurate data."
ME: Please read carefully again what the article is about. I didn't set up the portfolio. I don't think it is considered "selective" either as I just used that portfolio set up by someone with the arbitrary prices in total. I didn't set up his portfolio.
His other counters? Sorry I didn't track his shares investments.
As an individual, I do make mistake such as using wrong data, wrong analysis, plenty of them, I believe.
No need to be sorry to have a different opinion. This you must have if you want to be successful in investing. This article also shows that all investors should have their own opinion, otherwise investing in the stock market is a very hazardous thing to do.

You wrote many great articles but this one is just totally out of mark. bsngbg is correct. I think I have to write something.
Basically it is garbage in garbage out. You can gives those lessons but unfortunately you use the wrong example [coldeye].
Remember the story of the blinds touching the elephant? That's it. The one who touches the ear vs the trunk vs the teeth vs the tail, etc. [different data] can give totally different analysis. Your data is just a small part of the elephant, or even worse, not even an elephant but maybe a lion assume to be an elephant.
The portfolio was obtained from annual reports. So these are the flaws:-
1. Company update annual report only once a year. You do not know the entry price nor it is able to know a trade that has been opened and closed before the annual report date. If one doesn't know the entry price, how reliable can the portfolio data be?
2. Only 30 top shareholders are shown. Coldeye may not have been in the list and so will not be tracked if he owns smaller position or even a large position in a a large cap stock.
And every month, coldeye portfolio will be updated. And there are many of his portfolios tracked in i3 alone. And yet you have picked March 2012 for your starting point and assume coldeye is holding all those stocks until today. You spend so much time preparing a return table for coldeye but not following the changes?
There are a few traits of coldeye that make him very good. One of them is that he is able to admit his own mistakes very quickly and exit fast. On the other hand he keeps his winners run.
You may not like the fact but almost all the counters you used in this example have been sold and replaced with many winners [if you follow the updates]. I didn't even use the word "cut loses" because he may have own those stocks very cheap.
He is doing very very well. One doesn't need to be 100% right. Just like magic formula, not all stocks will be winners. You just need to make sure your winners outperform your losers. This is also similar to Graham holding a basket of NetNet where some went totally kaput and he still do well.
Again, I am not against your lessons. They are useful. But you have picked a very bad example to illustrate your lessons. I hope you won't ask me to reread your article like what you ask bsngbg. Maybe you should reread our comments if you still don't get what we want to say.
2015-05-11 11:39
@ks55, no one knows his exact entry/average price because the annual report is only released a few days ago and showing top 30 shareholders as of 1 April 2015. See page 108. http://disclosure.bursamalaysia.com/FileAccess/apbursaweb/download?id=169248&name=EA_DS_ATTACHMENTS. We can only know he bought his stock somewhere around 15 April 2014 (2013 annual report update) to 1 April 2015.
UMSNGB has 2 interesting developments. They sold their money losing business and going forward, it will not drag the earnings. And at the same time, they have new operations setup at Vietnam that will contribute in the future. Those furniture stocks like Latitude are making a lot of money from their Vietnam operation.

"In Bursa, there ain’t no tooth fairy" - why there is two negative there - "ain't" and "no".... wouldn't 2 negative offset each other and become positive?
The saying came from the movie show "A million ways to die in the West". The actual saying is ""There ain’t no tooth fairy, idiot!"
Unfortunately this is not asthmatics; two negatives make a positive.
What it means, it is a jungle out there in Bursa. Trading in Bursa is a zero sum game. If I find a stock is so good and I want to buy it, and buy more of it, I won't tell you to buy it before I have bought enough and am ready to sell it. There is no such thing as I am so noble that i want you to make money from the stock market, by telling you to buy it. It is noble act if I donate money to the poor, but making other to make money by speculating in the stock market a noble act?
For God sake, stop telling newbies to use margin finance to buy stock. Imagine if they have listen to your others stocks which have gone down by 50% or even more before, what would happen to them if they have use margin financing?

Great comment from sense maker.
That is one of the various messages the article intends to pass on, not what price ColdEye bought which shares, when he bought and when he sold, and how much he made or lost. Are these stuff relevant to us?

Give due respect to senior especially the one who has proven track record, but don't follow blindly. Don't worship a human as if he is god. Nevertheless, he has good investment principles that we can learn from.
kcchongnz rightly pointed out having different opinion does not amount to slander on a super investor in Malaysia.

Well, we certainly have different purpose in this topic here: This is what I have said.
" You can see the degree of respect I have for Mr. Fong. I even used his principles successfully in investing as shown. So there is no reason for me to ridicule him. In fact, Mr. Fong is one of the very rare local investors with logical and fundamentally sound reasoning I have great respect on.

Anyone is welcomed to criticize me too on my comments, of course preferably with some logics, facts and figures, rather than personal attack without any substantiations."
You can see the purpose is to discuss on the stocks in his portfolio, just for discussion purpose. A discussions of whether each of those stocks are good companies and at good price, and whether they are good investments, albeit at hindsight. In another words, a learning experience. Most of my articles in i3investors are of this nature.
Read the conclusion of the article again on "Lessons for investors". I really thought there were some good lessons learned.
Yes, what price he bought and sold, I do not have interest, but merely based on a date when the portfolio was posted by someone else. Ok ok it is relevant to you. That is fine with me.
Your interest seems to be to know what price he bought and sold, how much he made etc. Like "The story of a successful investors". How good he is buying cheap at x price and sold high at y price. Well it is a different interest. May be you can write another article to show us those data. Be my guest.

Great question.
If you followed blindly the portfolio dated three years ago put up by someone here for free:
http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/pfs/6736.jsp
You lost 8.8% compared to the gain of 26% of KLCI.
If you follow what we discussed in i3 two years ago, harnessing the wisdom of ColdEye, you got a return of 186% compared to 18.5% of KLCI
http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/75946.jsp
So donfollowblindly, which was a better option on hindsight? To think that there is this free thingys in Bursa and underperformed badly, or to pay a small fees to learn the art of investing and build long-term wealth confidently?

I really pity this donfollowblindly but he followedblindly on Maybank C6 which I was educating people to beware about the doubled edged sword of leverage in call warrants above.
I really think it is good to read my post above to learn about the peril of punting in call warrants and how one should use it as financial risk management, rather than punting, but don't follow this donfollowblindly and punted and lost his underwear.
Look at all these posts here:

Half of those comments are followblindly on those stocks which were written by me for sharing of knowledge, not recommending for buy or sell. And you know what, these are probably just a few percent of those stocks I wrote. He didn't manage to folowmeblindly to buy any of over 90% of those stocks which were written by me and made money, many of them big big money.
This is really a six sigma event. Poor soul donfollowblindly.

Just little comment, that probably Cold Eye wont care much of price fluctuation. Just feel nonsense to argue on the reference price and whether Cold Eye is making loss.
The dividends that Cold Eye earns now is more than sufficient for the rest of his life giving the amount of shares he is currently holding.
Somewhere i read long time ago, that price fluctuation in short term is just a voting machine. But if the investor is for long term value investing with quality portfolio, why bother so much on the price fluctuation?
