Some people will follow the market, change in time, and some people always believe in yourself, and does not adjust. Because human behavior is not fully [reason], therefore, sophisticated investors, in addition to mastering the market rules, but you still have to understand investors ' mental state, as well as their psychological weaknesses, so that at different stages of investment may differ to take different strategies of investment operation. "The United States has been doing a study like that, will have a background in psychology and economics background of Forex trader to compare results showed former operations performed significantly better than the latter.

Tired of waiting
Well, looking at KLCI that move up higher and higher is a very tiring process especially when already sold out most of the stock in my portfolio. So I decided to buy in some hidden gems again. This time the stock is MARCO. http://www.marcoholdings.com.my

Marco Holdings Berhad is a Malaysia-based company engaged in investment holding and the provision of management services to its subsidiaries. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the distribution of electronic calculators and timepiece including the brand of Casio, Catterpilar, Movado, Hush Puppies and Dunlop . Within 5 years from 2007, Marco's eps from 0.56 cent had rise to almost four times at 2.04cent in 2012.

MARCO's major operation can be divided into local market and regional market (thailand, singapore, vietnam, brunei, cambodia, myammar). In local market, it is further divided into timepiece division, calculator division and musical keyboard and digital camera division. In 2012, timepiece division's revenue covered 56%, calculator division covered16%, musical keyboard and digital camera division covered by 7% and regional market covered 21%.

Since Malaysia government started to distribute BRIM in 2012 to students from all level including primary, secondary and tertiary, this drived MARCO's calculator division revenue to rise 4.2million or 29% from 14.2million in 2011 to 18.6million in 2012. Although calculator division is only the third contributor,I believed Marco's Casio calculator has indispencible position in Malaysian education system. I personally have few of this and still usable until this days. I bet every Malaysian have one because it has become a neccessity in studying Mathematics in the secondary.


SWOT Analysis

Strength
1. Marco has operated since 1972 and 41 years of experience prove the company can go through any economy crisis.
2. Government every year provide book voucher and allowance for students to buy stationary and indirectly increase the purchase of calculators.
3. Casio calculator is well known for its quality and long lasting which increase its brand awareness.
4. The table for quarter financial result above shows a steady increase in EPS proving that the company is in the right track.
5. The dividend given in 2012 was 1.4 cent which equivalent to DY of 9% based on share price of 15 cent.
6. The company is cash rich with 5.6 cent per share equivalent to more than 30% of the share price.
7. Casio calculator is the main preference for all secondary and tertiary students.
8. Marco had achieved positive earning since 2002 and continue to increase in EPS according to http://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/fin/3514.jsp


Weakness
1. Marco does not possess the monopoly in the market as consumer can get Casio from other suppliers.
2. There will be competitors for its watches since Marco only distribute few brands.
3. Marco's warrant will reach due date in 2014 and will sure dilute its EPS. Marco's share issued is 794,589,500 units, Marco's wa is 272,484,780 units. Let say all the WA is exercised and the total share unit will be 1,067,074,280. If company maintain the profit like 2012 which was RM14,872,000, then EPS will be RM14,872,000/1,067,074,280= RM0.139 which still make MARCO's PE around 10 now.

Opportunity
1. The number of students in Malaysia is the potential client for Marco's calculator.

Total amount : 5,214,261

2. Government had assure there will be BRIM for students annually increasing student's purchasing power.

Threat
1. Economy downturn decreasing sales of Marco's watches and calculators.
2. Government may not be able to continue BRIM for long term.

Marco may rally after the firmer close yesterday. Traders may buy the stock if it stays above MYR0.175 today, with a close below MYR0.17 as a stop-loss. The price target is MYR0.23, if the MYR0.20 resistance is broken. However, note that the stock could trend lower if it fails to stay above MYR0.175, while further support is at MYR0.165.

Increasing brand awareness. To further increase Casio watches’ brand awareness, MARC has embarked on a partnership with one of its major customers, Time Galerie (M) SB, to develop the G-Factory concept store, which only carries premium and limited edition Casio timepieces. Currently there are 10 G-Factory stores nationwide.The outlets are sited in premier shopping malls at high foot traffic locations. Based on our experience of visiting three out of the 10, we noted that the outlets had a very modern interior layout and an eye-catching exterior. Reflective of their strategic locations, we believe these concept stores are targeted mostly at the younger and fashion conscious demographics, as well as the growing upper-middle class consumer segment.

The Best Of Times
Brief history. MARC is the exclusive distributor of Casio timepieces, calculators, electronic musical instruments and digital still cameras in Malaysia. The partnership first started in the 1970s when the company was established. As of today, MARC distributes Casio’s products to over 800 customers in Malaysia. Casio-related sales made up >90% of 2012 sales.

Management team. MARC was listed on Bursa Malaysia in 1999 when it took over the listing status of Khong Guan via a backdoor listing. Operations are currently led by Siau Hock Cheng and Wong Hock Yim. Both are executive directors of the company and have been with MARC for over 10 years. Its largest shareholder, Tan Sri Dato’ Tan Hua Choon (24.4% stake), sits on the company’s board as a nonexecutive chairman. Tan Sri Tan is a fairly well-known entrepreneur with several reported holdings in listed companies like Goh Ban Huat (GBH MK, NR), FCW (FCW MK, NR), and PDZ (PDZ MK, NR).Mass market pricing. The jewel in the crown of MARC’s operation is its distribution of Casio timepieces, which made up >60% of the company’s sales in FY12. Among the well-known brands of Casio timepieces that the group distributes are the GShock, Baby-G and Edifice series. Based on our on-the-ground survey, Casio watches carry a MYR50-MYR2,000 per piece price range, with the latter price point
representative of some of its limited edition timepieces . Judging from the pricing, we believe Casio watches are mainly catered for the mass to middle-upper income markets.

Sunset industry? Not quite. While some may argue that the watch industry could soon be a sunset industry, given the increasing prevalence of smart phones, we foresee a relatively stable demand growth for Casio watches. W e like the brand’s three-pronged approach of:
i. being a must-have fashionable item for the youth market on its Baby-G series, which are typically priced at MYR150-MYR350 per piece;

MARC is the exclusive Casio consumer electronic products distributor in Malaysia with an established distribution network of >800 customers.Backed by steady 5.5-6.7% annual earnings growth and sturdy balance sheet (Sept 2013: 3.7 sen net cash/share), it offers an attractive annual dividend yield of 9.2-10.2%. MARC is NOT RATED, with a fully diluted MYR0.22 FV. We ascribe a 10x FY14F P/E to value its core business.

Timepiece distributor. MARC has been the exclusive distributor of Casio timepieces since 1972, with established series such as G-Shock, Baby-G and Edifice under its umbrella. Over the past 2-3 years, the group started carrying timepieces from other brands to diversify its offerings. These include Caterpillar, Movado, Hush Puppies and Dunlop. We estimate the timepiece division as a whole currently makes up >70% of MARC’s topline, of which a significant 80-90% is contributed by Casio watches. The remaining 30% of its revenue is mainly sourced from its distribution of Casio Computer Co Ltd (6952 JP, NR) consumer electronic products like calculators, musical instruments, label printers and digital cameras.
Management team. MARC’s operations are currently led by Mr Siau Hock Cheng and Mr Wong Hock Yim. Both are executive directors of the company and have been with MARC for >10 years. Its largest shareholder, Tan Sri Dato’ Tan Hua Choon (24.4% stake), sits on its board as a non-executive chairman.
Attractive dividend play. We are forecasting MARC’s FY14F-16F earnings to register reasonable growth of 5.5-6.7% per annum, led by its timepiece division, as we expect continued innovation and creativity under Casio’s G-Shock, Baby-G and Edifice series to propel sales. We note that management has declared a hefty YTD DPS of 2.4 sen (which translates into a YTD payout ratio of 150%), given its healthy net cash balance of MYR39.4m as at 3Q13. Going forward, we are forecasting for DPS of 1.5-1.6 sen for FY14F-FY16F, based on a projected payout ratio of 90%. This is in view of its sturdy balance sheet, coupled with potential cash infusion of MYR26m from the conversion of its outstanding warrants. This will translate into a lucrative yield of 8.6-9.6% per annum.

人生有夢,築夢踏實」每個人都有屬於自己的夢想,而支持著這些夢想的動力來便是''堅持'',唯有堅持自己的信念,才有實現夢想的可能,但在動盪不安的大環境下,堅持往往會受到名利等事物的影響,這時,應冷靜下來好好思考「自己真正的夢想、真正想要的是什麼」,之後確立目標,訂定計畫,奮不顧身地往自己的夢想努力。不必擔心夢想落空,只要確定自己的決定與選擇是對的,因為至少曾經自己的夢想努力過,這就足以證明自己的成長及毅力,這種成長是最值得、也最難能可貴的。 MARCO DREAM .
