Lol those who believe in Chinese propaganda , then u better go and order your vaccine lah. To begin with had the Chinese government were transparent to release true data about Covid19 it wouldt have blown out of proportion globally. They lied, hide true data and did all kind of propaganda misleading the world in order to look good . Now they are trying to be the "hero" saving the world. Even if their people dying or they are purposely hiding their true covid case count they dont care as long as they can save face

@pyss2020 daily reported case as of today is over 300k and growing even we to take 300k a day multiply with 30 days and 12 months its easily over 100million cases. Take h1n1 for example , number of cases recorded was 500k but experts estimated that it could have infected about 1billion people and covid is much more infectious

The worse is yet to come, the west has failed so badly to control the virus even during summer . With cold season coming and winter is coming the case will grow exponentially, by January 2021 we will be seeing over 150million cases worldwide. you dont believe and u want to play safe u can wait , but by that time the price of glove counters would already shoot up 200%-1000% of current price. Then skeptics , naysayers will be at the same situation as now too scared to go in because u guys think u guys already missed the second rally

On April Ruberex was RM0.80, went up RM4.60 in May and dropped to RM2.XX early June, towards end of July start to rally and reached higher high at RM7 on August. “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Many that cutloss during the dip regretted , some tried to chase high back and only able to cover their previous losses while those who believed and preserved end up earning alot more. Many say glove rally has ended, but in truth we havent even finish the first part of glove rally. I believe this glove rally will continue for another at least 3 years. Why i am so confident? If we look at history of outbreak and pandemic for the past 2 decades. This is by far the WORST and most infectious with millions infected and hundred of thousands dead
Sars Outbreak 2002-2004 (less than 10,000 confirmed cases)
H1N1 Outbreak 2009-2010 (with less than 500,000 cases)
Mers Outbreak 2012-2020 (there are still case to date with less than 10,000 cases yet till today we still have new cases surfaces from time to time that means it has not been 100% eliminated)
Ebola Outbreak 2013-2016 (just like MERS from time to time there are still new cases surface with less than total 30,000 cases)
Covid-19 Pandemic 2020-???? - already reaching 30,000,000 cases and with daily new cases reaching 300,000 (despite many countries try to under report by not testing and reconsider some covid postive as negative if they do not show symptom) , with chance of reinfection , and low efficiency of vaccine rushed vaccine with multiple side effect
Do you really believe covid-19 will end this year? or early next year? or even mid next year? as much as I want it to end as soon as possible but lets be real , there is no way with such high infection rate and the world has already missed the window to successfully contain it. The virus has already spread to way too many people for governments all around the world to be able to control the virus not even with a high efficiency virus. We will be living with this situation for years to come

Many selfish people with black heart continuously trying to spread fear causing people to panic sell and loss money in the hope that these people that cutloss would reinvest their money into other counter that these selfish black heart people are currently stuck in. Let me tell you economy is so bad no matter what counter you are stuck in it wont recover for long time your only best bet is to cutloss and jump over to glove counter as I did in early February. I made losses by cutting my losses from blue chip counters to jump into glove counters. The rest is history my investment instantly rose many times and i never looked back since. The glove rally is not over if anything this is just the beginning of the a bigger rally. Many that had bought tickets from January sold after few cents increment still regret their decision to this day , instead of enjoying 400%-1000% growth they sold after mere 5%-30% increment. Those that let go today will be the same as those regretted letting go earlier. Correction and profit taking is healthy dont let it deter you from keeping your diamond because at the end of the day in the next 1-2 years you will be telling people how stupid you are for believing into naysayers otherwise you would be standing on pile of cash

WHO - For COVID-19, data to date suggest that 80% of infections are mild or asymptomatic
which means any figure that you see in US data are actually only 20% of its actually cases since they stop testing symptomatic cases. 27k cases would imply that actually daily case could go as high as 135k a day

Topglove is making AT LEAST (very conservative estimate) 10billion PAT 2021 , they have the money to throw around for share buy back, expansion, diversification , acquisition , and also dividend to shareholders. Remember when company start buyback their shares it means they will give very lucrative dividend moving forward. When that happens topglove will be touching rm100 like Nestle and provide very good dividend to shareholders and that time you would wish you had bought Topglove now when its only RM6 lol

My biggest fear is that in 3-5 years we still couldt control the virus and it would be part of us like dengue and hiv but many many times more infectious

Fitch Ratings Cuts Long-Term Oil Price Assumptions
Tue 08 Sep, 2020 - 4:14 AM ET
Fitch Ratings-London/Chicago/Hong Kong-08 September 2020: Fitch Ratings has reduced both its 2022 and long-term price assumptions for Brent and West Texas Intermediate oil to reflect large underutilised production capacities, the extended period of high oil inventory caused by the coronavirus pandemic, falling upstream unit costs and the long-term energy transition. The price reduction comes despite a better-than-expected year-to-date performance due to decisive production cuts by OPEC+, loosened lockdown measures and an economic recovery that has led us to increase our 2020 assumption to USD41/b.

there is no vaccine counters in Bursa, you may proceed to buy Moderna (where the owner is selling his share in large number) , pfizer, cansino etc but none of these companies are listed in bursa
the so called vaccine counters that you buy in bursa has nothing to do with vaccine, has no actual intention to bring vaccine, has no actual module to profit from vaccine

Indonesia: Chinese vaccine trial volunteer gets virus
Whether volunteer received potential vaccine or placebo remains unknown, says clinical trial team leader

A clinical trial volunteer for a Chinese COVID-19 vaccine candidate in Indonesia tested positive for the virus, said the trial team leader on Friday.
The vaccine is developed by a Chinese company, Sinovac Biotech, and imported to the country by the state-owned Bio Farma.
Kusnandi Rusmil, the head of the trial and research team from Padjadjaran University, said in a statement that the infected volunteer has been put in isolation under strict supervision.
"After nine days, the volunteer’s condition seems to be good," said Rusmil, without specifying the volunteer’s gender.
He said the volunteer, after receiving the first injection for the trial, traveled out of town.
“The volunteer was declared healthy upon returning from the trip and then received the second injection,” said Rusmil.
However, he added, due to their travel history, the volunteer was required to take COVID-19 test by the local health authority and tested positive for the virus.
Rusmil said he was unable to confirm whether the volunteer was injected with a potential vaccine or a placebo.
“As we conduct the trials under blind observer principle, we cannot identify who gets the vaccine and who gets the placebo,” he added.
Volunteers who were injected with placebo would be compared to those who were injected with the potential vaccine to determine its capability to build immunity.
Rusmil went on to say that the volunteers’ immunity against the virus would be formed after the second injection.
"Clinical trial volunteers will still have their health monitored for six months after the last injection," he said.
The team is conducting Phase 3 of the clinical trials, which started in early August to last six months.
At least 450 volunteers have been injected with a potential vaccine or placebo.
