Dear Fellow Investors of i3 Forum (Calvin is speaking to True Investors only). If you are a gambler then better please don't bother.
Hibiscis is yet to prove its profitable turn around business. Last quarter result is not the norm. It is only a one off due to accounting tricks. Next quarter result will show a drop in profit. By then prices will retrace. Those who recklessly chasing & punting hibiscus will be left holding a lemon.
See
Let's take a look at Hibiscus latest Quarterly Result:
Ha! It shows a 5.91 cents earning this quarter.
True or not?
Let's dig further.
It showed a Rm54.7 million in revenue.
But a profit of Rm80.2 million?
How come?
Revenue is only Rm54.7 million & can get a profit of Rm80.2 million? Looks fishy indeed!
Rm72.8 million is under "Taxation" refund or rebate or what? This is not from operating profit but accounting trick. A real con job stating this as "profit".
So Rm80.2 million - Rm72.8 million = Rm 7.4 million "profit"
Look again!
Ha! there is another Rm17.5 million from foreign currency gain!
So Rm7.4 million - Rm17.5 million = - Rm10.1 million loss this quarter from actual company operation!!
OH BOY! ANOTHER BIG CON JOB HERE!!
So stripping off "illusory taxation gain" & foreign exchange gain which are one off the actual loss this quarter is Rm10.1 Million!
SURPRISE! THERE IS AN OPERATING LOSS OF 0.74 CENT THIS QUARTER FOR CONMAN HIBISCUS!!
Don't believe? Still not convinced?
Let us investigate further then
Now let's scroll down to CASH FLOW ACCOUNTS
Net cash generated from financing activities.............................................................................Rm16.420,000
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents..................................................................................(12,303,000)
Effects of foreign exchange rate changes........................................................................................... 671,000
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of the financial quarter ...................................................28,746 ,000
Cash and cash equivalents at end of the financial quarter............................................................. 17,114,000
Can you SEE that there IS AN ACTUAL DECREASE IN CASH OF (12,303,000) + gain from foreign exchange of Rm671K
So the NET LOSS OF CASH IS RM11,632,000?
RM11.6 MILLION CASH WIPED OFF THIS QUARTER!
And where did extra monies come from. From endless private placements that kept diluting value like another conman KNM?
Hibiscus is a clear case of fools selling to greater fools; and greater fools will finally sell to the Greatest Fools!
THE GREATER FOOL THEORY (Page 67 Last paragraph) By Great Champion Sifu Dr Neoh Soon Kean (Exerpt from his book called STOCK MARKET INVESTMENT
This is a theory that is usually very popular during the immature phase of a stock market's development. More of the followers of this theory are not aware that the trading system which they believe in goes by this peculiar name. From the stock market's behaviour during the past three booms, we can say that many Malaysians/Singaporeans appear to be strong supporters of this theory. This theory was very popular in the US during the 1920s but since then, it has fallen out of favour even though pockets of true believers still appear from time to time.
In essence, believers of this theory hold that stock prices are not dependent on anything tangible but rather dependent on the continual appearance of more people who are willing to purchase the stocks at an even higher price {these people are the so-called 'greater fools'). Thus, it neither matters what price one buys a stock nor that the stock's price is ridiculously high by any normal standard of measurement. Thus the believers of this school of thought hold the view that whatever stock one buys can always be sold at a higher price because there will always be greater fools than themselves. Thus, it is fine to buy MUIB at $24.00 because there will be another person foolish (or brave) enough to pay $26.00 for it. Believers of the greater fool theory never for a minute think that the supply of fools will be exhausted and that they may be the final purchaser before the crash.
During every stock market boom, there are usually a large number of believers of the greater fool theory and some of them actually make a lot of money on the way up. Some of them get out in time by finding some greater fools to take over their hot potatoes in the nick of time but many find that they themselves end up as the greatest fools because there is no one else willing to bid up the price anymore. Needless to say, the Greater Fool Theory is a much discredited one among academics and most professionals. But it still finds many adherents. Why is this so? Everyone is having too much fun, (that is, making so much money) on the way up that they do not want to leave the market. George Goodman, writing under the pen name of 'Adam Smith' has this wonderful parable to explain how people are caught up in the web of the Greater Fool Theory and do not know when to get out.
We are all at a wonderful ball where champagne sparkles in every glass and soft laughter falls upon the summer air. We know, by the rules, that at some moment, terrorists will burst in through the terrace doors, killing many and scattering the survivors. Those who leave early will be saved, but the ball is so splendid that no one wants to leave while there is still time. Everyone wants to enjoy one more dance and sip one more glass of champagne. So everyone kept asking: "What time is it? What time is it?" We look around and find that all the clocks have no hands.
CALVIN WARNS: IF SYNDICATES SUDDENLY THROW DOW LIKE (TRIPLE LIMIT DOWN IN IFCA) or LIMIT DOWN AS IN COMCORP THEN THOSE CAUGHT HOLDING HIGHER PRICES WILL SUFFER SUDDEN SHATTERING LOSSES!! This is what Dr. Neoh meant by terrorists burst through the terrace and klling many!!
This may be a surrealist's way of describing the stock market but Goodman's parable has a great deal of truth in it. Of course, we know that in every speculative boom of the past, the 'terrorists' did come when most of the guests were still enjoying themselves at the ball. As 'Adam Smith' implies, nobody knows when a speculative boom will end but end it must for that is the rule. At every speculative boom, not many of the small speculators escaped with their gains made on the way up. Most of the smaller speculators known to me eventually lost all their gains and much more than what has been gained.
Some even lost a large part of their original capital. Thus on the next occassion when you happen to find yourselves at this type of a ball, try to leave early. The problem is that once one is caught up in the fun and games of the party, one is apt to lose touch with reality. Chances are that believers of the Greater Fool Theory will hang on to the bitter end, only to be slaughtered. It is better to miss a few dances or a few glasses of champagne than lose one's life.
In concluding this section, an anecdote about Bernarde Baruch, generally acknowledged to be the greatest stock traders of the 1920s is related. He was once asked how it was that he remained so rich while many of his contemporaries had declared bankrupt. This was his splendid answer: 'I always sold too early.'
Calvin comments:
These are the factors you MUST KNOW About Hibiscus
1) Last Quarter Result - stripping one off tax rebate & forex gain there is actually no profit at all for hibiscus
2) Its Cash position has also DEPLETED FURTHER.
3) The actual intrincsic value of hibiscus is now suspect as there is amplified dilution by endless private placements!
4) Without these accounting tricks the next Quarterly Report of hibiscus will drop drastically -leading to sudden shocking sell down. Those in Hovid got a shock when license revoked! So those chasing hibiscus will also get a shock if hibiscus price drops drastically.
More external factors
5) Opec & Non Opec supporting crude oil prices have yet to be confirmed. Will Iran keep pumping & is there cheating among them.
6) Will the world's crude oil demand continues to drop as recession bites further due to protectionism. In 1937 when USA raised trade tariff US Dow swooned. Will Trump's Rally suddenly go into reversal?
7) With the Price of Crude now above US$50.00 the Shale Oil Rigs are now being revived one by one. Will this be the undoing of Crude OIl Price Rise? Shale Oil caused the Collapse of Crude Oil. It can happen again.
See http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/US-Oil-Rig-Count-Climbs-To-A-10-Month-High.html
8) One more potential danger is from Donald Trump himself. Since Trump practices protectionism US restrictive law for Oil exploration might be done away. And if Trump unleash the largest stock of reseve Oil in the world which is AMERICA. The World Oil Market Will Collapse again!

On the tax issue, a bit complicated to explain but it is just some accounting stuffs about reversals of deferred tax.....
There is still another $ 500 million of such useless stuffs to reverse if the auditors approve.......
They can continue to con you a long long time if you allow your self to be conned.
Indeed , it is greater fool theory.
2017-01-12 02:18
actually it is not a good business model for SPECS to go and collect stuffs from oil giants ...what oil giants treat as rubbish/ liabilities, Hibiscus go and treat as gold is never a good business model.
The costs will kill the Hibiscus and Specs already.
Having said that.....I still have Hibiscus which I intend to sell at a higher price.
Oil giants have economy of scale, do a lot of engineering works themselves, good systems.
Hibiscus depends on contractors for every thing. There is no way in the world such business models make sense.
People gets killed by stockmarket because people are naive, not because stock market is evil.
remember that.
I have never been killed by businesses that makes no sense to me.
There are enough businesses with business sense out there. to choose from.
Of course you can trade and contra even conman stocks....I do that all the time, just be aware what you are doing.....but Calvin got a good point about dances and missing such dances.
Addicted to such dances never leads to good endings.
2017-01-12 02:26
Problem with trading profits and contra profits is it can be addicted , addictive.
Once addicted, eventually lose back every thing and more.
2017-01-12 02:38
Eventually only way to keep the profits is to copy KYY style.
Only buys shares that makes business sense and market leaders , let profits run.
It's business sense not speculation then.
2017-01-12 02:43
Good morning,
Everyone thinks that he is too smart to get caught and will be able to making a killing without getting killed himself. Such was the thinking of Mr Neoh of Batu Pahat who lost Rm5 millions. And the smart Ho who lost Rm3 millions.
They were caught in the web of greed. Once addicted to greed of gambling they were locked inside! So the success of gambling in initial stages eventually cause their undoing.
90% of the people who gamble in greater fool stocks will end up losers.
So better don't go in that direction and live safely.
A rich man once employed driver for his family living on the mountain. 3 drivers were called for interview.
1. The first was told how near the cliff he could drive the car safely. He said within 10 feet of the precipice.
2. The second driver boasted that he could drive the car as near as one foot from the cliff.
3. The 3rd one said he will keep his car as far as away from the dangerous cliff as possible.
Ha! In the end the no.3 interviewer was chosen!
The master wants the driver to stay as far away possible for the safety of his family.
So please be warned. If you lose your life savings by gambling your loved ones will suffer later.
So avoid gambling and learn to invest carefully.

I got a small amount of Hibiscus at 30 sen which I intend to sell around now. Calvin story about dancing and dances and addictions is very relevant.

Calvin.. The Oil E&P Company using different model of financial reporting system, Same goes to Exxon, Shell and etc. Nothing uncommon in Hibiscus report, just because of your Report, it has helped to reduce traders from participating in this rally. Many people has cut profit position much more earlier and it is not making sense for them to go in now.

Calvin welcomes your input. This should be the correct way to converse and share ideas.
I hope all will make money and avoid losses in these trying times which are now ahead of us in this year of Protectionism & Deglobalisation by President Trump.
Until hibiscus has shown concrete profits I think price has already run up beyond its fundamental.
This is my concern from past observation
During Regain Choco Passenger frenzy many have dabbled with highly unproven speculative stocks.
While it lasted there were euphoria, frenzied trading & fun time.
But alas! It all ended in tears, losses & disappointment later.
And 90% of i3 forumers had left us and ceased from posting since then.
All these naive newbies have finally lost their monies!
See 33 people clicked "likes" for this pirated con man ship!
http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/forum/900608510.jsp
Again during the mad euphoria of IFCA many threw caution to the wind and chased it from 7 sen to Rm1.87
In the aftermath of the collapse again 90% of newbies in i3 forum were wiped out!
And 56 people clicked "likes" for Ifca.
For many (90%) it too ended in tears & are no longer with us.
See http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/0023.jsp
And so con man & syndicates will continue to trap unsuspecting newbies & sorchai.
Slaughtering batches after batches of naive innocent lambs for this taking.
I hope I have helped some.

None of the specs make business sense because when the big oil giants treats as rubbish and liabilities, hibiscus treats as gold just do not make business sense.
