chipster1234, yup ok, I will share. Since I gain a lot of knowledge from others here, its payback time.

Sorry for the delay, just back from a short golf game. Come to think of it, investment is a bit like golf. How many of us can hit 18 perfect tee shots. When 1 gets out of the way, do we have a good recovery technique. How about the short games (chipping and putting),more like short term trading (my worst part). Any golfers comments?

madguy, better to learn more of the company if you plan to put money in,.
Hustle, look more at the company performance and future rather than a director, there are many other big shareholders.
pgboy,, DC has answered.
alexyap, Nicole has given a very good answer.
DC, thanks for your generous sharing and views.

DC,

My cash reserves are only at 22% of the amount of investment capital (that I intend to invest), hardly ready for a crash. LOL. Minor correction maybe.

I admired your use of leverage, as I do use leverage too (margin) in investment and also the time when we can buy properties and sell them. We just pay a small initial amount.

I also admired your guts really. Guts is what we need at times, during bulls and during bears too, when we have the opportunities to buy cheap, when others are fleeing, we must have the guts to do so.

Both leverage and guts, I would say you have more than a 100%.

We may have one more ... that could help us,, READINESS ...

How about that ...

Thx DC

Yes, I did add more at Rm4.63, and don't mind the current volatility. Once settled down it should be able to move up. The coming report in May should show better results I think since lately they have got more and bigger modipalm projects, bearing in mind they should be able to continue growing it.

Continued ...

I thought of a lot of things that different people behaved. For example if I ask a salaried executive, what do you think of this business. His reply first 1. Any risk? Mitigation? second thing 2. Feasibility study.... I said oh no, oh my god, wait how many years for that? THen I ask a less educated successful businessman, his reply first 1.Profit how much? second thing 2. Hentam..........
That made me think out of the box.. If I continue doing things the conventional way, collecting bits and pieces, how many more years can I do that before I trash my life.

During the subprime crash, Malaysian properties and fundamental shares became dirt cheap, and I sign on the dotted lines for properties real cheap, panic sell, I snap up tons of cheap shares (KLCI-850).

Know what ... the key word in the difference between me and the rest of my friends who didn't make it... READINESS..

They had the same public opportunities but they were not ready. They were tied up and hit badly. I amass lots of cash and got ready for it.
Have a deep thought about what I say ....

A true experience.

Long ago before the 2008 subprime problems that affect world markets, I used to pray, My Good Lord, give me a break, give me the luck and opportunities. Whatever I have are all due to my blood, sweat and tears to earn it the hard way, where is my luck and opportunities.

Day in and day out, i sleep as much as i want to, wake, have a cup of coffee in a nice place, having deep thoughts. Finally my prayers were answered. I knew what I have to do. After the subprime market crash KLSE, I emerged a much much better financially. People were asking how I did it, how come you are so lucky and have all the opportunities that I don't. Nope, I didn't have any luck still. The opportunities were still not given by any Datuks or rich man, and if there is any opportunity, it is such that any man in public will have. So why the difference they asked.

I still have allocations to buy more should the price goes lower, at the same time, I continue to hold for a better price

Stock

2014-04-12 13:23 | Report Abuse

DC, you do have a big allocation for the counter, that is really very very confident.

About the dividend, I believe its enough for me to cover my share financing interest as well. The reason I put it as 4-5% is because of the spending on PPE that is to come. How the management handle it I wont know so lets put it as needed. I am afraid others will run after me with their payung if its not less than 5%.

Thanks for the insight on how to maximize the use of our finances. Appreciated.

shark, yes, that was how I started investing in and how I was paid.
As the company grew, we grew along with it.
So there is always a starting point.
If we don't do it now at a dividend of 4-5%, those who buy now and later reap more like me, then for those who didn't buy now, and buy later at a higher price will still face the same 4-5%

The 5 year chart that is also adjusted for the split shows the adjusted price.
The adjusted price is
5 years ago - 0.37
now - 1.45

So if you put 37k in, now is 145k

2014-04-11 11:42 | Report Abuse

I don't have the records, but to know how much and when the price was, you can refer to a 5 year chart. That will give you an idea, how the trend was the past 5 years. Am not sure if you can get a chart longer than that. Check the charts.

The company says it intend to pay the same amount of profits as dividends but now , you know the shares are more after the split, so per share is less, but since the split you should be having more shares and thus the dividends come to the same as before the split

Lets focus on its business.
1. Road contruction/Mtce, a steadily growing business
2. Property development, DeCentrum 10billion over 15 years plus others
3. Education, growing intake and foreign venture
4. OnG, incoming revenue stream

Does one think all these are fakes?
Its been there for many years.
Does one director owns everything and does not need to account for other owners?

Maybe this can help us think better and get an answer

superman11, I have invested in Wellcal for a long time.
I cant remember exactly when but around 5 years ago, it was around 1.20
Say you buy 10,000 shares at 1.20, cost is Rm12,500.
after the split you will have 25,000 shares, at price now, 1.45, so total now is Rm36,250.
This is without including the dividends, last year was 16cents.
So if you are a long term investor, and at a cost of 1.20, getting 16cents is a lot. More than 10%

Now, I think if you go in now, at this price, and keep, and if you know how the company is building its future (please read through this thread to understand more) you will be confident to keep adding. That's all one has to do. No such thing as having to do work every day. At the end of a 3 or 5 year period , you see the multiplier effect and how wealth is created by choosing the right company and doing little.

When a business failed, we blame it on not being able to diversify, when its diversified, we say its over diversified. Its a good thing that any company doesn't rely on just one.

Private placement at 1.95 in the Star today.
Perhaps some broker received instructions from a client to sell all at 1.98, so in order not to depress the price and able to sell all, he do it bit by bit.
