put aside Singapore, Korea or Hong Kong ( China). we are losing grounds to our ASEAN countries ( eg Indonesia and Thailand) very soon ( Vietnam or Philippine) if we are not careful then
we can see Malaysian working as maids, drivers , packers, security in other countries.) Jokes aside, something need to address the serious brain drain syndrome.

with the min.wage implemented, crackdown on illegal workers, higher fuel costs, expensive land costs, lengthy delay for multiple approval(s). How can prices in main cities be lower. not forgetting the weakening ringgit against
USD and SGD.

this companies have the cash but the owners ( main shareholders ) seem to be low key & prefer the co's off the spotlight. they will just churn along the market unless they have plans to take it private. KLSE has lot's of this deep valuation co's. we need to hit the jackpot if a particular company is a target of a hostile take over. this is just my personal observation

the bottom line. account deficit too high to sustain. ringgit will be downgraded(if nothing is done) living standard will be affected if GST is push thru in October

with the GST the salary workers will be most hard hit. And if the Bank increase their rates (loans) again the average wage earners will be affected

the government has more issues at hand. weakening ringgit against major currencies is indirectly raising inflation. foreigners exiting our bonds and equities market to channel back home their resources. KLCI dropping plus flip flop policies. the last thing they have on their mind is to discourage non residents buying properties. iskander needs foreigners to invest (if not will be a big flop)

TA & Charts are not applicable when the market turns upside down. Market momentum is too strong for anybody to fight against the trend. Apart from deep pockets you need to be 100% confident in your analysis.

Even you are right, timing the market for the turn is not easy. But at the end of the day. those who take the greater risk reap the biggest gain. Happy trading

market id down. daya is still holding up. good signs

Muhibah is a good counter But Petronas job holdback (delay) is a damper
on their prices. Muhibah is trying to secure more O & G contracts. Their inland Port Klang yard is not conducive for fabrication of deep sea rigs.

Nonetheless, most funds has a buy on Muhibah. Investing is not instant gratification. we need to be patient and ride on the trends. O & G is the in thing. we need to ride the trend (wave) on O & G counters. this is my personal opinion

0.25 sen 15/08/13 (today)

good for long term play. coastal still lack buying momentum.

DIGI is for long term play. current quarters flat. due to stiff competition and subsidies on smart phones.

BNM will not react to Fitch's downgrade. BNM is only answerable to the government (not to Fitch). with Petronas we are still OK compare to other countries without natural resources. Malaysia is a country of abundance but but somehow where does all our exports (eg. crude oil, CPO, rubber ) money goes to. you need to find the answer yourself

go with the trend. bad market (stays out) . good market 9ride with the waves.) we cannot fight against trend. no man is a island

interesting views on stocks but i do believed that selection criteria may differ but the bottom line is we all of us, here is to make profit out of the market.

the number of stock selected is important. one may have a short list (eg. 5-6 stocks on the watch list)if we can hit the target on all the 5-6 stocks ( that means we are 100% accurate)

the bottom line is the holding period of the stocks. At 1,800 index most funds are targeting between 1830-1840 year end. that does not leave much room.

if we can identify growth stocks for 2014 that would be really of interest to people reading this blog.

trading & investing is 2 different ball games, what you learn might not translate into real trading situations. this is what we call school of hard knocks. learn from experience and not just rely on text books.

contra plays and short term investing is different. what's important is your time frame (holding period) this makes a winner or a loser. this is my personal viewpoint. happy trading

more positive news flow coming. wait for MRT extension on greater klang valley. happy trading

fund managers attracted to muhibah cheap valuations . core business in the right sector. PE ratio undemanding plus SOP under valued. positive news flow on MRT construction sectors.

good counter with good potential. wait for Petronas awards. they need to get a strategic partner ( core investor) to go for the Petronas job contracts.

Muhibah among the few local co's (fabricators) able to undertake Petronas jobs. Oil & Gas is among the KEY GTP plans to turn around our economy. More jobs on the ways especially marginal oil fields and related works.

long term value buy. this is my personal assessment. happy trading

Oil & Gas, Construction , Highway Toll is Muhibah core business. After getting hit it last year (with one off write down.) Business is positive
with all pistons firing. Any placement of shares with a strategic investor partner will enhance their profile. this is my personal assessment. happy trading
.

what's good (buy) today May not be a good buy one week later. trade within your means. split between trading play and dividend (long term play)

short term (contra) is different from long term. sentiment is different from fundamentals. this is my personal opinion.happy trading guys

you need to be patient with this counter. very shrew operator. up 3 days down 1 days and listless for the next 2-3 days. big

construction & oil gas is under the spotlight. you can expect more news on the MRT, HSR, WCE and Petronas awards etc. accumulate on dips

it's no easy to buy 500,000 lots in the open market. only between brokers you can do a block trade (500,000 lots).

DIBS will have an impact on certain high end developer. Hua Yang more on affordable market will not be impacted. i believed Hua Yang also not selling Penang houses thru DIBS

haze is hitting everywhere down south. muar just declared holidays for the schools. malacca is also affected. smog everywhere. advisable not to travel. highway also hazy

when market is bad. technical readings (line of support, Moving average. candle top)cannot be relied upon. the bearish momentum will just kick out the so call resistance. this is my personal opinion

never over commit and you will not be pressure to sell if the market reverse. afford what you can buy and you can sleep soundly not worrying how the market is going to open tomorrow

Prior to the share split (1:5) TDM has increases their shares by way of Bonus issue (1:5). the cost is much lower if the bonus adjustment is taken into account

there is no 100% safe investment. criteria is a guide. ultimately it's you who decide to invest in shares, properties or reits. everybody has their own preference

with due respect to Ku Li. most of the present MP's are new and come from different groupings. within UMNo (present day) the MP's profile have differ from the past when Ku Li challenge Mahatir. it's highly impossible at this stage for Ku Li to get the numbers

market affected by the sharp drop on DJ and HK plus the weaker asian markets. need to watch coming Monday market (Malton) T+4 = due for contra players

sold at 88 but no regret. thinks the market needs a breather. wait for price to dip before going in. T+ 4 days = technically means selling comes in after 5th day. this is my personal assumption. happy trading cheers

gearing is my only concern. Pavilion 2 project. desmond lim (malton) can always JV with dubai investor

looks like a done deal for Malton

our policy (government) control on telco is holding back DIGI. DIGI has always plays second fiddle to Maxis and TM. even the award of 4G is not in DIGI favour

i have nothing against unit trust investment but we need to be careful in choosing the right type of funds to invest. avoid investing in the same category of funds.

the only complaint against unit trust is the high sales charges loaded on the funds compared to other countries. why must we invest thru agrents can't we go direct invest directly thru the funds companies.

this is something the agents always tend to avoid or refused to answer. not all UTC is experienced in the market. this is my personal view point.

sad. politics and business should not mix. political beliefs and support should be separated from business dealings. hopefully, our country will progress and have a new mind set. supporting either BN or PR is not a sin.

Supermax make a big decision. Mr Stanley Tai is a brave man in the corporate world.

dividend announcement big let down. keep finger cross if the BOard will announce anything special when the tax credit expired end of the year. still another 7-8 months (too wait ) before expiry.

others than dividend perhaps bonus issue thru their land (iskander,johor region) revaluations. based on the annual report . land has not revalued since 90's.

i do agreed with the learned professor. Najib is the most hardworking PM ( trying his best) to deliver. But the top down approach is NOt filtering to the ground. this is my concern that the gist of his policies is not followed 100% by the government machinery

still early to gauge the votes swing. urban votes will be pro-opposition but BN has their edge with the rural base. Kedah(PAS) is dizzy with Mukhir Mahatir (UMNO)homing in. Other peninsular states will remain stautus quo. the king maker will be Sabah & Sarawak

very disappointed over the 6% dividend announcement. nothing to shout about. kec seng ( in cantonese )

what about a hung parliament? no 2/3 majority but maintain status quo.

political links counter(s) will be affected. Malaysia is different from others. It's not what you know but whom you know that's make the difference

market will maintain momentum prior to actual run up on polling dates. EC will announce nomination & polling date(s) today. rumours circulating 2 May is the (prefer) polling date.

it's hard to predict which way the market will move. nonetheless, KLCI is well supported by the local funds ( eg PNB, EPF, Khazanah, LTAT , Tab Haji)

UNless PR romps home then we will see a shift in the government link funds. if the BN still remains in power. the government funds will still stay fully invested.

the danger comes when there is dramatic outflow of foreign funds when they sense there is a change in the policy direction.anyway it's always prudent to be cautious when the GE13 is around the corner

there is a saying " no risk no gain " it all depends on your risk

well documented facts by YY koon. personally i feel the market may be ripe for a correction irrespective of the GE result. KLCI is now at their highest (1,680-1700)

remember the slogan " sell in may and go away" it may come true.anyway for the brave hearts " no risk no gain"

brothers. beware of the value trap. high nta but not necessary reflect in the shares price. management must be pro active to unlock the value IF not remains undervalued shares

yes. i agreed with CM (Taib ) comments. MACC is not honest
