Dear friends of i3 Forum,

They say, "If you don't study history you will repeat the same mistakes again"

So this brings us to share about WCE highway Toll hype

Why WCE?

Answer:

Without Real Collections of Real Profits from Toll (only projected profits) many have gone GaGa over the Toll Hype Story and chased up WCEHld from 29.5 sen low to the recent high of Rm1.19

Now let us study deeper

First take a look at its latest Qtr results

Above tells us WCE a Qtr Revenue of Rm230.5 Millons

And a loss of -0.81 sen

Now go look at its balance sheet

It has Rm6.5 Billion Infrar dev expense (its assets)

It has Rm4.25 Billions in loans & borrowings to finance the Toll Road

Although it has Rm230.5 Revenue it cannot show a profit as yet due to

1) High Maintenance cost gone up (Minimum wage was Rm1K and now Rm1.K to Rm1.8K)

2) Material cost up. Cement alone is Rm24 per 50kg bag (Was Rm13 per bag)

3) Interest on Bank loan one Qtr is Rm90 Millons

So after deducting all the operating cost plus high bank int WCE Hold is still in the red

Then why Do People Chased Up WCE shares by a jump of over 300%?

All this is premised on "Future Toll Collections"

So at this time of euphoria they are willing to pay and chase at any price?

What will the Future Earnings be if all the "profits" are fully priced in?

And what if earnings lag and still disappoint like SILK & LATAR Highways?

SILK?

Yes, we made 200% from buying SILK below 40 sen & sold it at peak euphoria at  Rm1.18 on 1st, August 2014

All because of the Kajang - Selangor Toll Road Hype

After Toll Receipts proved mediocre SILK price crashed back to now at 

0.21 with a changed name to Marine & General

So those who chased SILK at Rm1.18 has seen a lost of over 80%

After all the Kajang-Selangor Toll Hype fever subsided.

Then there was Bina Puri which built the LATAR HighWay

At the hype Bpuri also chased to the peak price of Rm1.27 on January 7, 2011

How come Calvin remembered these dates and prices so well?

Of course I was bullish on both since that time and made money from them

It was a "greater fool" profit on hindsight

Do I want to play "Greater Fool" Stocks in future

Of Course Not!

There were other Greater Fools stock like Fountain View that got delisted

So is WCE is greater fool stock?

No one knows for now. As future is still ahead of us

Only one Big Caution

WATCH CAREFULLY THE EARNINGS BOTH CURRENT & FUTURE OF THE WEST COASTAL HIGHWAY

Only then will Know

So gross profit is 92.8%

Most businesses only generate a gross profit of 5% to 15%

Rare ones get 20% to 30% gross

Exceptional ones get more than 50% gross profit 

To get as high as 92.8% gross profit is just amazing indeed!
