Demand Remain Robust

Massive resurgence of Covid 19

Citing the World Health Organization, Bloomberg reported that Europe has surpassed one million deaths from Covid-19 and the situation remains “serious”, with about 1.6 million new cases reported each week in the region. Malaysia also saw the new Covid-19 cases increased further yesterday to breach the 2,000 mark with 2,148 cases. The last time the country registered daily new infections above the 2,000 mark was on March 5 with 2,154 cases.


ASP - Still Strong

However, we do not expect ASP to fall off a cliff despite average lead time being reduced from 300 days in early Jan 2021 to 200 days currently, compared to 20-30 days pre-COVID-19 supported by post-pandemic demand growth averaging 15%-20% per annum. ASP trend is expected to soften next year albeit at a slow pace on the back of still robust demand. Malaysian glove players which commands 68% global market share and have consistently evolve and innovate in terms of capacity, products and plant modernization via automation.

Global demand growth at 15-20% per annum post-COVID-19.

According to the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association, the global shortage of rubber gloves will sustain beyond 1Q 2022 with growth rate averaging between 15% and 20% per annum going forward compared to pre-COVID-19 of 8%-10%.

Heightened Hygiene Awareness

Heightened hygiene awareness extending beyond the healthcare sector. Incremental volume growth is expected from new users of examination rubber gloves including nitrile and latex-based ones.

Aminvestment being paid to write rubbish. Bursa & SC should look into this rogue bank working with syndicates- to push up the valuation of Mr Diy.

Jef, sell when you are happy with the capital gains. Thanks!

I on behalf of all our Great Loyal Supermax supporters here wish to thanx Goldberg for sharing the Golden Cross $5.31 Buy... You are the Man

@robertzz - Shorties short sold 1 million @ RM5.09- supermx in the morning session to depress Supermax but failed. Im able to view this from my terminal fyi. Thanks.

goldberg, what you mean was morning itself already short got 1m share ?

@ supermaxdarren

Golden Cross Buy Signal is not formed yet.

The share price of Golden Cross Buy Signal is around 5.31 level. The share price of Supermx crossed 5.31 level today. The share price of Supermx is bullish and it is crossed ahead of Golden Cross Buy Signal.

Once Golden Cross Buy Signal for Supermx is triggered, all shorties will cover back all short positions. The share price of Supermx will skyrocket up the roof. I want to see this scenario to happen soon. Once it happens, everyone will rush in to buy Supermx and all Investment Banks will upgrade the target price of Supermx.

They - the shorties have already visited by shorting 1.0 million shares in the morning session. Soon they they will run out of ammunition to further short- thats when the fun begins.

Supermax fully owned subsidiary Maxter Healthcare Incorporated in USA may follow Grab's route to list in the NASDAQ ie via SPAC ( SPAC a special purpose acquisition company with no commercial operations that is formed strictly to raise capital through an initial public offering (IPO) for the purpose of acquiring an existing company.)

For the record- Maxter Healthcare Inc. will construct a giant Glove manufacturing plant with 12 billion capacity per annum in Delaware USA.

Interesting times lies ahead for Supermax shareholders

I hope Sifu @freetospeak return to this forum and give his wise & witty comments. It he does it will be a big boost , as he is respected here.

Fully agree with you- rr88

Major negative divergence. End of the run for this grossly overcooked overbought overmanipulated TWENTY-FIVE BILLION $ company.

TWENTY-FIVE BILLION. Laugh until kok about to fall off.

First support 3.26. Next support 2.75. SELL.

Fully agree with you Chief999- a glorified lapsap hardware shop replacing SUPER TO THE MAX is ridiculous.

another motivation to up is, SC wont allow billion ringgit company to be taken out of KLCI by 100mil Mr DIY (malu lar if this happens)... by June, Super market cap is big enuff to remain in KLCI... so still long way to go up :)

Buying power far too strong for Shorties (RSS) to press down Supermax.

This time they will get roasted.

Short term TP of Rm 8.00 very much in sight.

Huat arr.

Covid-19: Case numbers breach 2,000, highest since March 5----- 4th wave hits Malaysia.

Thursday, 15 Apr 2021

PUTRAJAYA: The number of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia has continued its ascending trend, with 2,148 new cases recorded on Thursday (April 15).

The last time the country's daily figures were above 2,000 was on March 5 - when there were 2,154 cases that day.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (pic) said in a Twitter post that Sarawak has the highest number out of all states with 512 new cases, followed by Selangor with 459 infections.

Cumulatively, the country has 367,977 confirmed Covid-19 cases since the pandemic began.

Stay safe folks.

By the way the SHORTIES has 44,715,625 Supermax shares to cover. Looks like they are in for a grand roasting- soon I hope.

All trapped at upper floors will be released from " jail " soon.

Don't get too excited- Still a long way to go. TP Rm 8.0 in August.

Gloves sector is on the unptrend now.

Pandemic far from over- Roll out of vaccines too slow- Mutations rising.

Return of the Glove euphoria 2.0

Congrats to all - traders, investors and contra players- all making money and laughing- the one's willing to hold for a least 3 months - will laugh the most.

TP 4.80 coming - soon.

KUALA LUMPUR (March 15): Global supply of rubber gloves is projected to reach 420 billion pieces this year, some 80 billion pieces short of the projected demand of 500 billion pieces, according to the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (MARGMA).

There was a shortfall of 100 billion pieces of rubber gloves last year, when global demand reached 460 billion but supply was only at 360 billion. In 2019, the shortfall was 40 billion pieces, when global demand was 340 billion pieces, while supply reached 300 billion pieces. In 2018, global demand was at 280 billion pieces, while supply stood at 268 billion pieces.

Folks- to maximise profits buy and hold- shorties need to cover as soon as possible before getting slaughtered- when Q results are released- estimated at Rm1.28 billion.

From ride-hailing to fintech: Grab’s journey in the fast lane


SINGAPORE: Singapore-based Grab Holdings said on April 13 it plans a US listing after merging with the investment fund Altimeter Capital Management in an operation that values the firm at US$39.6bil .

Here are some facts about the company’s journey from humble beginnings as a taxi-booking app in Malaysia to a South-East Asian tech giant.

Rapid rise

Grab launched in 2012. In just a few years, it has become the largest ride-hailing firm in South-East Asia, operating across eight countries in the region as well as Japan.

‘Prestigious’ New York listing

Grab plans to go public through a merger transaction, the latest instance of a prominent company combining with an entity specifically established by investors for such a merger - a so-called “special purpose acquisition company”.

Market participants say such deals are faster and less costly to execute than traditional share sales known as initial public offerings, or IPOs.

As for listing in New York, NTU's Koh said advantages include “access to a wider shareholder base, higher liquidity, cheaper cost of capital and - to a certain extent - higher prestige since the US stock market is the largest in the world”.

- AFP

Be patient folks. Sentiment towards gloves is improving albeit slowly. Once the sector is back in favour of the investment fraternity- Comfort will zoom to RM5- 6-00. However, currently the big boys are still camping in the Tech & recovery plays and are quietly accumulating gloves stocks The time will come when the euphoria in GLOVES return. I expect this to happen in May or early June.
