It is not all doom and groom on Mon. Hang Seng has surged past 31,000 points. The HSI call warrants listed on Bursa are expected to do a catch-up on Mon too.

Haha....there goes a contrarian view. Who is right? Pls do your homework.

From the postings, I gather that this counter has attracted more traders than investors. Why? I believe it has something to do with dividend payment. It does not pay dividends.

A counter will only attract more investors than traders, if it can formalise a dividend policy that pays good/decent dividends consistently.

Yes, a selldown is expected by foreign funds on the uncertainty of policies by the new govt, esp concerning GST and fuel subsidy.

Small cap and penny stocks could be pushed down too to weed out weak holders and contra sellers from last Tuesday's buying.

The simple equation for share price is it is a function of mkt demand and supply. If there are more sellers than buyers, the price has to drop, if not supported by the mkt operator.

Short term, share price can be influenced by mkt factors, eg trade tension, event risk, etc. Longer term, it will be shaped by its own set of fundamentals, eg growth potential, management team, dividend policy, etc.

This so-called Holland stock still gives dividend. Much better than a lot of pure goreng stocks(without dividend).....lol.

Yes, it was sold out last Friday. Today, I throw back some to the mkt maker...

When a counter is resilient, it does not mean it will jump up. It still depends on whether the HSI index can move much higher and stronger...

Greater China mkts have been particularly weak of late. This is a bursa company, with its operations in China. It is difficult for it to buck the generally weak mkt trend, unless with a compelling reason.

With a major event to unfold on the domestic front on 9 May, I do not expect any major price move up, except for the release of an excellent set of result, which remains to be seen. Nevertheless, macro news will usually weigh higher than micro news.

This warrant seems rather "resilient" in the face of a sell-down in Hang Seng Index today. Still up 0.5 sen...

Today, back to old pattern? We will know by the end of the day...

Haha....now u know why last 2 days the pattern was "pushed higher and closed lower". Today, the pattern is different - pushed lower and closed higher.

T+3 today, from huge vol traded.

Haha....the brave will usually get rewarded by the mkt....

Just how easy our moods can swing from despair to sudden optimism at the mercy of the operator.....

Haha....

Remember, those who made money today, u must thank Mr Xi for his speech this morning. Whether this mini rally has any more leg to go, it will depend on what Mr Trump will do in the next few days/weeks/months.

Whatever it is, 9 May will be another important event to watch out for....

Wah, the mkt operators really know how to play their game well. Just as some pp expected a selldown when parliament is dissolved, they make a u-turn higher. Just as some pp expected a black Monday, it turns out to be a sunny Monday.

Haha...do not try to outguess the mkt.

Emil, I notice your new posting has toned down somewhat. No more posting your own scary thoughts/inputs without a substantiating article. This is a welcome change. More can be done if you can give your own analysis in a more objective way.

By the same token, we can understand why Trump has tried to act tough with China, hoping to "force" a change in China's trade practices. So far, this is still limited to mere harsh exchanges of words(threats), with very minimal "real" tariff actions taken. Whether this will eventually develop into a real trade war is still anybody's guess. Financial mkts stay volatile because of this uncertainty.

Chartwise, even with last Friday's plunge of 572 points, Dow still stays above its 200 day moving average, without piercing below the recent low. Of course, I do not rule out further drops if it lapses into a full-fledged trade war on a massive scale. Meanwhile, be prepared for any eventuality.

By the way, I have nil holding of Hua An shares now, waiting at sidelines for any good bargains. But I do not talk down on this counter to collect cheap cheap.

Bad mkt sentiments. It just drifts lower along with the weak broad mkt.

Emil, why no selldown? U have been wrong 2 times in a row....

U posted the same message on a few threads, (including Heng Yuan Refinery). Look, Heng Yuan Refinery goes up 21.5% today. Maybe, the operator got angry with u and showed some "true" colours.

Haha....I hope u do not send pp to Holland with your scary postings

Mkt is weak. Any rebound becomes a selling opportunity during this uncertain period.

Jokes aside, the mkts are now very news-driven. So, better follow world news closing before making any investment decisions.

I hope some forumers here do not take advantage of current situation for personal gains.

Haha....this Emil appears again..... why Dow did not drop 1000 points last night? Even with the latest news, Dows futures drops only 400 points now....still dreaming of 1000 points drop?

Haha....

Dow is up 200 pts....where is the joker that says Dow will crash 1000 pts tonight?

He probably goes into hiding and will come back again when mkt is down to preach his half-baked theory.

Do not be too happy yet....this is an oversold bounce. Got to see how well it is played out...

Emil, u are really a scare-monger. Really? Dow will drop 1,000 pts tonight? Let's see...

Pls do not scare pp into selling so that u can collect at 22 sen end Apr. This is not the way to get your cheap stuffs leh....

Wow, US stocks make a monster comeback. Dow rallies more than 700 points from its session low. This is the type of mkt volatility we would see this year.

Hua An should rebound today....from yesterday's shakeout.

Beginner1989, i sold mine for a very small profit yesterday. I will reassess the situation. You had bought yours so much higher. It is rather difficult to advise u.

This trade war tension may take up to a few months to resolve. If u cannot ride out this period of high volatility, it might be better for u to cut loss or sell into strength when there is a rebound. U can choose to buy back when the situation stabilizes. However, if u are not in need of the cash and are still bullish about the company, then u can choose to hold on to it for as long as possible. After all, any investment is meant to be long term, for investment to bear fruit. All world events(including a trade war) will eventually blow over and fundamentals/rationality will return one day.

Just my views. Hope it helps.

Come, dow futures is already down 400 pts now on US & China trade war fear escalation, with US and the latest, China providing a new tariff list of items against each other.

Today, the whole KL mkt is weak, be it the blue chip index or small cap index. Even tech and semi-conductor stocks were sold down heavily.

Operator took this opportunity to push Media Chinese(M) stock below its previous low of 32 sen, to 30.5 sen, while Media Chinese(HK) closed at 86 cts.

As mkt sentiments remain rather weak, my advice is to stay out of this counter for now if u have no holding power, for either conversion or investment.

Today, the whole KL mkt drops a lot, be it blue chip index or small cap index. Tech and semi conductor stocks are also sold down heavily.

Pls do not take advantage of the situation to spread unconfirmed negative news/rumour about Hua An, for your own personal gains.

The whole mkt is weak. Sentiments are lousy. Will operator push up when he is aware of some contra selling pressure due in the next 2 days.....

Operator has all the trading statistics with him all at 1 click while many of us rely on gut feelings to trade.

Lesson learnt - never buy/sell shares if u do not read world news. Macro news always comes before company news...

Do not play play with your hard earned money..

Have u read newspaper or internet news? Headines today - Trump to unveil China tariff list this week, targetting at tech goods.

Operator does not push down the share price for no reason lah...

Alright. Let's see....

HK mkt is usually weak before a public holiday tomorrow...

Alvin, u probably have a very expensive taste. Never mind, wait til operator collects enough and push it up for u to buy....haha

Yes, price is attractive for real investors. But for traders/punters, they have an expensive taste. They prefer to chase high....lol..

Price and vol today seem to suggest a bottoming out process. Anyway, it is back near to where it started.

When mkt is weak, operator can "influence" a counter more easily. Do not chase after the counter unless u have the intention to pick up, when price drops. Otherwise, u can give more reason for the operator to push down the counter on contra selling pressure.

Currently, it is range-bound trading for this counter, with a downward bias. If 38.5 sen is not broken with strong momentum, do not dream of higher prices.

Somebody becomes a sub-operator here. Do not play play....haha

At last Thursday closing, Media Chinese(M) - 38 sen and Media Chinese(HK) - 98 cts. But Media Chinese(M) dropped 3 sen to 35 sen yesterday. Even if Media Chinese(HK) closes unchanged today, there is already a 3 sen difference/gap to begin with.

Jasper, based on 7% dividend yield, it takes about 14 years to recoup capital....

Frankly, this round of price rally had started from 32.5 sen and gathered momentum the next day from 34.5 sen, until the high of 50.5 sen, before the decline. So, the current mkt price is closer to the low than to the high.

Haha, did I not give very timely advice? I said its NTA is 32 sen(as at last quarter's report). This provides a good support price for the recent sell down.

Haha....

Now, I will try to identify any gp 3 personnel here.

If the operator wants to push up a counter, he will get his runners to talk up the counter, eg give high target price, etc...

Haha.....

Today, a lot of Malaysian steel counters are up sharply...so Hua An also has to follow suit, mkt forces meh....

Haha....HK mkt is still closed today. We can only guess what the big sharks in HK will be doing in the next 2 days...

Sinopsis, u have to make your own judgment. Nobody knows preciously how low the bottom is and when it will shoot up. By the time it shoots up it may be too late to chase...

A lot of contra/weak sellers have exited the counter as the operator presses the price down. Price is getting more attractive too for real investors as a dividend stock.

Not a single trade done on Good Friday(Malaysian mkt was one of the few that were open). Where are the usual vols? All of a sudden disappeared. Just because the proprietory traders went on holiday leave? Lol.
