Westport owns southport.Mmccorp owns northport and almost all the majors in m'sia.Surely it's more valuable to have a more wholesome package.Westport's market cap is over 14 billion.How is it Mmmcorp only over 7 billion?Besides mmccorp owns over 5,000 acres in jb and other business.Really market can be irrational!

I noticed it has been very very strong for the past many weeks

off market deal of 16 million shrs transacted at 7.9 value 126.4 million done today

I am wondering the reasons why CPO has risen so high yet all the plantation counters hardly budge!Who are the buyers?Investor who saw the bullish rise in CPO? Who are the sellers? Could it be those who knows something the other camp don't know?Just as we have witnessed the rise in the disparity of cold and hot rolled coiled ,yet steel counters hardly budged!All came down when the results came in below expectations!Like maybulk ,price hardly go up when dry baltic rate risen from 300 to more than 1,200? Better don't be overly confident.Overall,this market is super bearish!

Remember in life we all make mistakes sometimes we don't even realize hence it's good to spend some time on reflection of your actions.Think back the reasons why prompted so many responses to your action.If only a few it could be due to some nasty people but it tells you some where not right if many negative comments.I d believe there is goodness in every person but due to EGO and ANGER which is one's enemy causes one self to react without giving in depth of one's thought and the consequences out of it.

Ai ya,why make things difficult?As long one realizes and acknowledges the mistakes and indirectly asking for forgiveness,do you need him to kneel?As long KC who has a big heart acknowledges and accepts it,let bygones be bygones and hope both of them could give constructive ideas to help all to make money!Remember help them to find peace and magnanimous towards each other and NOT the "batu api",lol!

I truly believe with enough patience and time,FA method will eventually reward investors handsomely.However not everybody has that kind of patience!Not everyone has that kind of character that can get benefits of FA. I believe in the fundamentals of Thong Guan way back in 2009 when its was .80cts I practically promote this stock to my fellow remisiers.When market goes up,it hardly budge !However when market goes down,it's the first counter to go down.Buying at .80 also have to endure lots of paper losses!Hence when my fellow colleagues meet me,they always ask me why your counter is like that one?I cannot explain nor have answers for them.I didn't have that kind of patience nor conviction.One of my colleague even asked me why did I put so much money in a counter that doesn't move in so many yrs? When a counter doesn't goes up to what you think it should but instead went down,you start to doubt yourself. The question I kept asking myself was why is it not going up?Could there be fraud accounting?Hence i sold all barely make much and switch to other counters that were rewarding at that time but ultimately my performance on other stocks is so poor compare to if I had hold on to thong guan.On hindsight,if I had hold on to thong guan,I wouldn't need to stress myself out and could have made so many times more money compare to me making till early 2014 and lost so much back these 3 yrs!

AS I see it,all these surface due to personal attacks rather than subject.Even when the subject is under attacked,the owner of the subject takes it personally that he owns that subject hence EGO is also dented.You can see how when EGO is dented ,what's the repercussions! The kind of emotion or ANGER basically arises is tremendous that made one to do all kind of things that probably the owner didn't even ponder to think of the consequences neither cares. In Buddhism,one is taught to control ANGER as it's our biggest enemy!All the skeletons in the closet are exposed for all to see!

I would rather abstain from NS royal family's counter.

read goldman sach's report with a pinch of salt.They are the ones who said will hit $200 when it was over $100 ad similarly said will go to the teens when it was below $30!I think they create news to see hw high or low the prices can go since many kind of respect their view!

Hng,I had done that with Telekom covered warrants way back in 2006-2007 period where I had reversed my paper losses of 190 to break even.I guess I was lucky whereby the telekom was not really super bear compared to armada now.There is a great uncertainty in this counter as the net gearing excluding a/r is abt 8 times of paid-up capital if not mistaken.To me this ration is simply just too high for me.What you owe people you have to pay but people owe you may not pay!

It's not very nice to hear when people are sarcastic to you when you are losing money,isn't it?Sometimes wrong trade is already wrong.It's doesn't pay off to buy back lower after selling especially downtrend counters.Losses could get very much bigger compared to if you have stopped trading in that counter.

I reaslised that you cannot buy the counter just because the price of their core business rises just like you have seen oil counters went lower and lower eventhough price of crude oil rises from 26 to now 45-50.Why?Similarly you have seen dry baltic rate rises from around $300 to over $1000 yet maybulk hardly move up much and can be seen losses still cannot be reversed or even reduced substantially!Many oil counters are highly geared and I suspect their a/r or a/p could be inter-related to each other.You noticed their a/r and a/p are quite high too.Hence one default,it could trigger a chain reaction,hence it's better to be cautious rather trying to guess the bottom.Oversold can get very oversold till you can't believe,lol!.You have seen how megb oversold counter earlier on can hit below .20cts!

As I see it,the build in expectation of good earnings for this quarter among mycron investors is so high,I wonder what would be the price if it disappoints them.Sometimes there seems no reasons at all why it should be that way but it could still happen.

Nowaday,the play in this stockmarket is very different.You have to be selective in the stock pick even from the same sector that is performing very well!

For the price to go higher,earnings must be higher than last quarter but not the drastic down compare to the previous quarter!

Actually I look at the past few quarters earnings.Very good,woh!Sometimes they press it down to accumulate just like msc when they announced result of more than 20 cts when i bought at 2.7 last yr it went to around 2.4 which i cut at 2.5.I couldnt understand the reasons.Only now it performs extremely well!

just saw ekovest ann 4 over cts verse previous q of more than 15 cts.Sometimes I am suspicious they could massage the figures than pump up the price.When it's low enough they accumulate back then do the same the subsequent q!

Honestly speaking,its really damn difficult to choose winning stocks that after correction will go up higher like inno!I firt noticed it when it was .805 but then when you refer back their earnings,its not that great that its really worth buying at .805.but today it 1.24 and recent earnings is only 2 over cts! If people buy Masteel when it announced 4..41 cts,you probably thinks its more likely will go higher if not more or less the same for this quarter with all the safeguard duty imposed.Probably would not occur in most people mind that it could be less than 1 cts so much lesser than the previous quarter!

So all the hypotheses abt Masteel will benefit the most with the safeguard duty imposed by the government is all so wrong!

luckily i cleared and lose commission for intra day trade!

venfx,if I remember correctly,Maruichi was changed name to melewar,Mycron is one of the subsidiary which they list it,can't really remember I think between 1.4-1.6!

I just cannot trust NS royal family's counter.Melewar was formerly named Maruichi.It was cash rich till they take over.They even borrowed money from bank to pay a handsome payout a few yrs back when they push to I think is about 4.9 before coming all the way down!

Dont be overly confident just because it's Ananda Krishnan's counter.The net gearing is just simply too high if not mistaken almost 8 times paid-up capital!Just be careful!

By right,it should go up after breaking 1.44 but it did not despite rise in CPO and so many others recommending this stock besides COLDEYE who has many followers.Be careful,it could be a trap!

Flyingkite,do you understand the consequences of your words?Ponder for a while and try to put yourself in thier shoes.How would you feel when someone starts with all kinds of accusation?What if the things said are all wrong?What would you do when you realise that?Apologise?Remember words utter cannot be taken back just like time but the harm is already done!Doesn't mean you have to stop people doing what that differs frm your thoughts.

As an observer who doesn't know Kuey nor KYY,in my opinion it's also unfair to judge KYY as many have.In stockmarket there are lots of opinion,it's naive to believe a person who has many right calls is right all the time.The minute you bet heavily the wrong call ,your losses could not even be covered by your gain accumulated!Just like charts,it doesn't guarantee the same chart pattern that normally goes up will go up!A person like Kueh who commits huge financial responsibility towards life community not his blood family more that his capacity is not an ordinary being as not many are willing to sacrifice that.In my opinion,this person though could be very offensive with his words has huge compassion towards animals.Those who wants to help to retain his legacy could contribute financially to the fund set up .However you cannot force people who don't have the same ideology as him.Some people would rather use the money to help man kind as many needed monetary support too.If one does an approximate calculation of $5 per dog a day that would come up to $10,500 per mth excluding medicare and person who looks after them.This kind of financial obligation is not small in my capacity!I believe strongly every being has his/her own karma and how one dies too.It's not entirely within your control many times as you can see how one crane could suddenly drops onto a car and killed the passenger and driver.How 9/11 killed so many people!The ways how people are killed beyond thinkable!Remember every action has a reaction and I strongly believe your action and words carries consequences. I always practice don't do or speak something that you don't want others to do onto you.

We are all speculating the reasons for his suicide,Actual reason is only known by the decease or those people whom he confided in.For a person to commit that act,he must be suffering from some kind of depression.A normal person would never understand why must you terminate your life.A person who suffers depression cannot think so rationally and he/she thinks the best way out from these kind of suffering is to die.WHy did the famous actor/singer CHeong Kok Weng whom seems to have everything in many people's eyes or recent US actor Robin Williams committed suicide?It's best not to judge unless you are in their shoes!

ha ha Duit,you are very funny.Not only you are rather good in coming up with market hypothesis,you are very creative too !

I have been a silent reader these past few days and there are lots of speculation abt the reasons for his suicide.He left a note didn't he?His girlfriend who found him would have read the note and know the reasons.Whatever they are,what is meant to be is meant to be.Understand whatever you say has implications either directly or indirectly.Be mindful of your words.At times of anger or ego dented,one tends to speak without thinking nor mindful of the consequences cause in your mind,you just want to venge out!.Understand all that and be mindful of the next words that come from you.If you dare to comment,correct the person you condemn if you know he is referring to the wrong person.Don't let another person carries the blame of your insults.It's a bad karma created for yourself which will comes back to you perhaps not this life,will be in subsequent lives!Nothing can change now that he is dead.What can change will be subsequent words coming out from you.

I noted the sharp spike in USD/ringgit.Following were the reasons cited
1)sell down in bonds by foreigners give weakness in bond mkt.currently they hols 36% of total bonds and more than 50% in MGS
2)RM11 b govt bond maturing on 15th nov
3)msia deems to be key loser shoud TTPA no taking off under trump
4)Close links with China may see spills over effect of -ve impacts arising frm Trump policies towards China
5)expectation of repatriation of US funds given potential fiscal spending in US and Trump new oerseas rade policies
6)Fed hike aggressively next yr if Trump embarks on growth agenda

Since the cold rolled are input to many downstream players,wouldnt the price of end-products increase as well?Is there any website showing the price of these products?

Hot rolled coiled suddenly jump $200 on 2nd nov.

thanks probability for the updates

http://www.theedgemarkets.com/my/article/steel-wire-group-questions-imposition-safeguard-duties-imports.can wealthwizard or anyone who is well verse in steel industry comment on the repercussion of this piece of news on steel companies as a whole.who benefits and which grp is affected in terms of profit margin.looks like the steel sector is really a complicated one.

It could be the result for this coming quarter is horrendous!

Thank you Albukhary for pointing that out to me.I missed it.

Since the investment in the failed project is $427 million ,the provision so far is only 141 million,I fear they could made another provision in the next quarter.

It was stated in the announcement the deal is based on conditions in the agreemet.However I couldn't find what were the conditions for the deal.Does anyone know?

Thank you ,100%profit.Can you pls look into leonfb,disects it and share with us?

apparently there is an announcement by the governmernt at 3,30 pm last friday to safeguard the steel industry.http://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/100percentprofits/105044.jsp

If you look at notes A5 it gives details on the 68 million classified as others.In there you can see provision of goodwill of 78+ million is there and goodwill is reduced correspondingly under assets in the balance sheet.

It was stated goodwill.If not mistaken,there is goodwill declared under asset.I don't think the impairment arises was due to the stated reason by you

just announced 100 million losses.68 million classified as others,it's referring to goodwill.If you compare the previous quarters,the goodwill is reduced by 81 million.However the previous quarter cash stands at 344.8 million and total liabilities is 1.126 billion but now cash stands at 316 million and total liabilities is 1.109 billion.. If you compare the 2 ,the latest losses doesn't really involve much cash other than provision of impairment of goodwill. Nevertheless, It's a long time since Muiind didn't announce such big losses.Why they chose now to make provision of impairment of goodwill?

flyingkite,no offence intended here.In my opinion,you are being emotional.You are like so protective of your love one(DRBHCOM)that anyone speaks anything not positive about it, is against you.People' perspective of things differ from yours doesnt mean they are evil and have bad intentions.The readers are mature enough to judge themselves.Anyway,price movements depends on the syndicate's intention and NOT yours or mine or other commentators!

this reminds me of a story 30 yrs ago of the counter anakku.a client of a remisier started buying when no one looks at the counter.he told the remisier that it will reach $6 when it was $2.slowly it began to climb.the target prices revised many times upward that his wealth increase frm 100 k to 1.2 million.he then opens margin to further build his position.he comes to the remisier's place often.he would stop anyone he knows under this remisier from selling.eventually he ended bankrupt and owe the broking hse a few millions.moral of the story is if the counter wants to go down,even stopping people from selling and your own buying doesnt help!what is singing down or talking bad about the counter.It's all up to the operator.You can say all the good things about it yet if the operator wants it down,you only folllow.for all you know the operator is also looking at this forum to gauge the sentiments of retailers.they want to be winners so they probably do the reverse of the retailers!

net cash still stands at .265!

Keep emotions in check then you have a clearer mind.
