Hi Guys,

I have An Investment Approach I which I would like to all.

Hi guys,

 

I saw this stupid post by qqq3 in Jaks forum

 

 

qqq3 On Insas....Insas rubbish hunters think they find diamond....but most of the time, market is correct , rubbish hunters are wrong....just that u do not know u are wrong because u lack the skill set to analysis the thing properly. 

Look at the revenue as a start.

LOOK AT THE REVENUE OF INSAS?

IT IS NOT REVENUE

IT IS PROFIT GROWTH

ICAPBIZ HAS ONLY A REVENUE OF RM4 MILLIONS

BUT INSAS HAS 10X THE PROFIT OF ICAPBIZ AT RM40 MILIONS!

 

Let's Look at Their Performance

 

1) QL Resources

ICAPBIZ has Investments in Other Companies. So its Revenue & Profit should not be the yardstick for calculation

Its Revenue only showed Rm4.4 Millions. Its Growth lies in its Intrinsic Value Growth of 

NET ASSET VALUE / INDICATIVE OPTIMUM PORTFOLIO VALUE

ICAPITAL.BIZ BERHAD

 

Type Announcement
Subject NET ASSET VALUE / INDICATIVE OPTIMUM PORTFOLIO VALUE
Description
On behalf of the Board of Directors of icapital.biz Berhad, we wish to announce that the Net Asset Value per share of icapital.biz Berhad as at 9 January 2019 was 3.22.

 

Its Net Asset Value is Rm3.22

Current market price is Rm2.46

So market has discounted ICapbiz by 76 sen or 23%. While QL is grossly overvalued.

INSAS Has 65% Profit!

Like ICapbiz INSAS also invest in Other Companies Like Inari, Ho Hup, DGSB, Omesti & others

It has an NAV of Rm2.54

 

Mr. Market has grossly underpriced INSAS at 70.5 sen or 73% Discount

 

If Walter Schloss and Ben Graham are alive INSAS will surely be part of their long term portfolio

if QL is unable to borrow more, then possible PP or RI
either way share will be priced down.

other solution is to chop expenses and reorganize internally, stop store openings. This looks possible now coz it looks like a new onset problem which can be solved easily.

QL cashflow issues is due to bloating inventory.
means continuing production without sales.

QL increasing inventory wiped off the free cash.

In Spore my bank has just raised housing loan interest this year

A rising interest rate environment is bad for Ql with high debt as interest payment increased

Whereas Cash rich companies like Insas, Cscsteel, Dutaland, TA, ecs ict and Eksons stand to gain

this reminds me of the palm plantation acquisitions during cpo boom yrs.

many plantation firms, big and small, use cpo at dcf rm3k/mt for 25 yrs to value the land.
