For the past months, I hv been reading some ppl writing so much abt "the upcoming QR will be very bad". It turns out d matter has been terribly over-exaggerated. The picture they painted was so bad as if Karex's share price will crash after d QR is released.

@Obsidian, it's mainly due to lower Other Income and higher Other Expense. I believe the FX losses are included in here. As for higher distribution and admin exp., there is very normal due to higher sales.

I totally agree w @gift. Despite the unfavourable exchange rate and latex price during last qtr, Karex's YTD numbers are still looking very good. With d 3rd qtr results already in the pocket now, I see Karex hv no problem at all to exceed the FY2015's results. To those who wanna sell, pls do so swiftly early morning on Monday. I am very happy to collect more. Hehe...

Cumulatively speaking, the EPS @ current qtr is still higher at 5.44 vis-à-vis last yr's 4.64.

There may be a blip in d NPAT if u compare the q-on-q results. However if u look at the y-on-y results, it has exceeded previous year's results. Generally, Karex's results are not so very bad as claimed by some here.

@ufis, I'm not gonna comment anything here anymore. If there's anything, pls email me. Thks.

Next time, try Clorox instead.

@lala26, aaahh... yes, I remember u - the one with a foul-smelling mouth.

U dun understand d meaning of 'speculate'? Wats yr motive to speculate? To help others? If u hv d published QR in front of u now, then u can express whatever free speech u want bcoz tht is not speculating. Obviously, I will not follow u blindly coz yr credentials r not anywhere near close to b recognized by others.

@littlelolita, OK, sorry abt tht. But, noobnnew did by posting his sell article here.

For u guys who do not know, actually there r principles for making money around us. Do it in a gentlemanly fashion and not by resorting to any intimidation and strong-arm tactics just bcoz u hv some advantage over others. Tht way, wealth w not stay w u for too long.

The way u guys depicted here as if d upcoming QR is soooooooooo bad tht a meltdown in Karex's share price is very imminent. Why??? So tht, u hope other weaker investors w become panic chickens for u to slaughter all d way to yr bank?

@littlelolita, YES!!! Buy and sell at your own risk. My figures and yours dun differ a whole lot. Just tht, wat I said was dun speculate too much now. Also, I'm writing to encourage those with holding power to continue holding Karex and not to sell blindly purely based on speculation. Just wait for the QR to b announced and then, decide to buy or sell. But, u wrote so much asking d whole world to sell Karex as u had speculated a bad upcoming QR. Why bother to speculate now? Then, some jokers came in to say tht they like to say whatever they like here. No one is pointing a gun into my head and bla... bla... bla... Then, wat can I say?

@noobnnew, I didn't keep asking people to buy now. Pls read properly and understand wat I wrote earlier. I said Karex is a quality stock which is good for medium-to-long term investment and do not sell blindly purely based on speculation.

Wat I remember writing all along is to ignore all d noises abt bad upcoming QR and all other craps posted in here and, had encouraged others to focus on being a medium-to-long term value investor in Karex.

@littlelolita & @tan lucy, u ppl and d rest who r screaming hard ONLY NOW abt bad QR due to strengthening of MYR and latex price r very late in doin so indeed and also, r really not thinking fast enuf. The market is definitely thinking much faster and many steps ahead than u ppl tht it w leave ppl like u biting d dust eventually. Everyone in d market already knew d MYR and latex price hv strengthened during last quarter (if I'm not mistaken, u ppl started screaming abt it since late Apr 2016???) and they w negatively impact Karex's financials. If u go look back at d stock chart, Karex's share price has been adjusting constantly in anticipation to d strengthening of MYR, latex price and bonus issuance since late Jan 2016 until now. Your concern abt strengthening of MYR and latex price affecting d upcoming QR has already been discounted by d market by now.

@littlelolita, pls help me recollect which earlier statement of mine if any, tht I suggest coming QR is good. As far as I cud remember, I did not speculate at all tht d upcoming QR w b good or bad. It is u ppl who did tht all along.

I liked wat OWG has done in Komtar. Amongst them, d indoor LCD lighting up an entire ceiling. I think d longest LCD spanning an entire street is found in Las Vegas. With attractive murals and musicals, yr head will not get tired looking up at it all d time. And of course, d 7-D Planetarium Dome shud not be missed. Imagine... being able to feel d outer space without hving to endure all d 'G' effects.

Hello people... I witnessed smtg today. Despite some persistent and rather aggressive selling activities twrds end of trading today, I can see strong buying interest to push d price back up swiftly again to close at 2.34 just goes to mean only one thing: others r happily collecting Karex ahead of d upcoming QR announcement. Dun be fooled by those speculating of a bad upcoming QR. In reality, I believe 98% of Karex trades r carried out by medium-to-long term investors who truly cud see Karex's attractive valuations in the near term.

I think I w stay out of all these unproductive chats for the time being. Happy speculating to whomever u may be.

@Fortunebullx, why Phew!??? R u scared it w drop back down?

@Kok Leong Chan, I consider u a strong gatekeeper of Karex and a focused stock investor. Pls keep up yr fine efforts for d benefit of others. I believe when u hv good noble thots for others, d best and same w be returned to u eventually. All d best!!!

@Kok Leong Chan, yr earlier clarification is much appreciated. Thks.

I'm always very optimistic abt Karex's biz prospects and it's management team. The company is in d hands of a very capable and professional team of individuals who hv all d necessary experience to manage d company well. So, I envisage tht d company w continue to deliver double-digit growth into d foreseeable future and hence, it's share price shud command a premium as it's THE WORLD'S LARGEST CONDOM MANUFACTURER BY CAPACITY!!! So, for its share price going below 2.00 is not quite likely unless it's due to extraordinary events. This is just my asessment of Karex.

For those who hope to make more money but has limited amount of capital to invest, they cud try investing in Karex's structured warrants to leverage on the mother's share price upward momentum in d near future. It is definitely better than trying to create fear in others here in order to buy-in cheaper to make more money. Furthermore, he/she does not need to stress themselves to time d mkt to buy and sell so often. So, it's like hitting 2 birds with 1 stone plus, its definitely less stressful too.

today no strong action in d afternoon, tmrw morng very likely will gap up...

beware of wat? pls make yrself clearer on wat u r trying to get across to us.

Be ready for an exciting afternoon later...

@miracledy, I dunno

By d time d 1MDB news is out, Karex's price may hv gone higher already.

Yeah, its very true. Buy or sell is own call. But, do it quietly lor. No need to make its presence felt by everyone.

I dun think anyone is shooting anyone here. It's just tht d euphoria calling to sell was so intense over last weekend and some of us cud not truly understand its rationale in doin so.

I think they r very bz hoping onto Karex now.

This is my opinion. The lower than expected QR to b announced twds end of tis month has pretty much been factored into d current price judging by the fact tht it has retraced from a high of 3.13 (pre bonus 4.70) down to yesterday's 2.27. Typically, d price tend to move much ahead of any given event.

The Edge reported tht d 2nd 1MDB default if any, will not rattle mkt as it has been factored in already. So, no need to wait to buy-in Karex if u do not want to miss d train.

START CHASING KAREX NOW...

Many here r waiting for it to go down to 1.80 - 2.00. Wait??? Happy queuing and waiting.

Nolah, 1.80 is not realistic. Tht translates to pre-bonus of 2.70 from a high of 4.70. Do u believe Karex deserves such a drastic write-down in valuation given its past year's capacity expansion plans r very much intact?

@shazali6609, hv a nice evening...

there is always d difficulty to get in d lowest and to sell out d highest as we r not in a position to time d mkt. To make life easier, I tend to accumulate more when price is depressed and to look at a longer term investment horizon until my target ROI is reached. Thereafter, I may choose to sell or continue to hold depending on my cash flow situation.

No, no. I'm absolutely not worried at all of any price down trend at tis current magnitude. As I hv shared here earlier, my average cost is 1.13 only. So, I hv lots of space to manoeuvre.

I believe with the drop in price since bonus ex-date from 2.64, it wud hv already priced in for the lower than expected upcoming QR. Tis is just my view.

I believe tht 2.30 - 2.33 is a good entry point before recovering ahead of d upcoming QR release. Anything lower than tht will b a bonus.

Dun get me wrong, I do encourage ppl to talk but it needs to b substantiated. As we r all adults here hopefully, cakap kosong does not value add tis forum. When u mentioned tht its yr fren's expectations concerning d upcoming QR, then everyone is clear with regard its level of authenticity. Thts good.

But, everyone who come here tend to get influenced w wat they read here concerning Karex. We shud strive to make tis forum a good reference point. Thts d objective. Otherwise, why bother to tap into here in d first place?

@shazali6609, so yr source on d upcoming QR is below expectation, is it an internal or external source? If external, can share kan?

Then, susah lah cakap, semuanya atas angin aja. anyone oso can say whatever they want. kalo u pergi Holland, takkan semua ikut u blindly... hahahaa...

@shazali6609, if u r sincere in sharing/giving some latest info, latest trend based on the yr own source, then kindly provide us details of the source for all to verify and analyse as well.

@shazali6609, I'm NOT saying tht the sharing of trusted source of information claiming fund houses are throwing Karex is irresponsible. Wat I said is tht you telling others "my source of news is this time QR below expectation" WHEN IT IS STILL NOT MADE PUBLIC is unscrupulous and irresponsible unless, u r kind enuf to reveal your source of information to support yr earlier statement made here.

They can buy all they want. Just queue at those lower prices and wait for it to come patiently. If it comes, it comes. If dun, just too bad. Try again another day. But, to write subjective and unsubstantiated negative comments all over d place is not healthy and fair to those general genuine investors. I describe their behaviour as unscrupulous and irresponsible.

I dunno lah why and wat most of those ppl hiding behind pseudonyms r trying to achieve here. I constantly cud feel they r trying very hard to spread negative energy here. To those weak souls, try not to fall prey to them and always know tht, Karex is a strong company and yr money is safe with them, NO MATTER WAT HAPPENS TO THE STOCK MKT.

I mean, prices go up and down all d time and its normal for ppl to try to average-up and average-down respectively in order to make money. But, going around and tell everyone an unannounced QR will be bad without quoting its source for all to verify is just too speculative and is not value-adding to tis forum. So, why bother making all these noises now and wats d incentive in doin so? Unless there is an ulterior motive behind it. Tis is just my thots.
