why not we all wait for the earnings report next month before buying..

what is the hurry? do we really need to use margin account?

Is the sellers(obviously big players) that dumb?

hi guys...just want to give my 2 cents..

i did say that there is a reason that the earnings will be bad when i exited above 9 earlier even before the fire breakout..

the earnings reported did reaffirm my opinion

and, now it makes me even more convinced that it will take a long time before it can report reasonable earnings...

one can understand the views i had expressed above if you view the arguments in a closed loop economy (a single country where there is no export or import involved) where business exist interdependently within this economy to cater the needs of its citizens.

(you need not confuse by bringing cheap labor or competent workforce from foreign country into the equation)

within a closed loop economy, composite work done by all worforce = composite consumption of all workforce

competitive advantage of a worker (competence) would only make him deserve a salary relatively higher than less competent workers within the same country

the competent work force would enjoy consumption at the magnitude he earns..and thus deserving luxury items ( a bigger house , better car, better brand shoes, clothes and watches relatively)

this relative differential in competence would have at most extreme case be in the ratio of 40% very competent and 60% less competent..

it could never ever stretch to the observed 5% rich and 95% poor workforce to an extent that this 95% poor is unable to afford even the BASIC CONSUMPTION needs (an average house , an average car, education, children etc).....

despite these younger generation are inheriting cumulative workdone by their predecessor citizens

such an extreme stretch of maldistribution (unevenness) in consumption capability (consumption power) within the same country can only be done...caused by:

the bullying capitalist

simply because as much as their pay is raised by the business they work for..their consumption cost is raised even higher..so that the business will make more money (from the net difference)....

this tension of stretch is inevitable..in a capitalist economy...but the tension can be relaxed if the capitalist cares...and if the worker demand a better pay..an lesser cost of living..

its a purely a mindset thing that can be cultivated ...if the workers act in unison

the subject we are discussing here (as far as i am concern) its none specific to malaysia or the inequality between races wealth distribution based on their hardwork or competence...

its about the general issue of the 99% poor everywhere..in the world

all their fucking hardwork right from the age of 5 till 26 and till they retire is siphoned by the capitalist (1%)...

their earnings will never catch up with the cost of living which their strive for all their life.....cost of living is a moving target ...and illusion..lured by the capitalist...which they will never attain...

they will never attain financial freedom they imagined they will

raider...we are not talking about donation here...i have no objections for workers to raise their competence level...

i am talking about giving 'pay' (A) fair to the 'cost of living' (B)...

remember B is actually where the business make their money...and its from business is where the A is formed...

A and B magnitude must be balanced...you cannot raise B and squeeze on A...

thats pure enslavery

Humans have to learn from honey bees...the Queen (capitalist) and worker bees (wage earners)...lives together in a ~ fair society...they share their harvested honey together...independent to who brought more honey...they take care of their eggs, larva and pupa together...they know in which portions to share royal jelly with the queen..

obviously the queen bees knows to appreciate its worker bees..

they seem to know 'the balance'...

What Happens to a Shareholder When Delisting Occurs?


When a company is delisted, its stock no longer trades on one of the major stock exchanges. In a direct sense, nothing happens to a shareholder when delisting occurs. The shareholder still owns the same percentage of the company as before, and he is free to sell the shares to any willing buyer.

However, in financial reality, the delisting of a company is usually a huge negative. It often occurs after a company goes bankrupt or as it approaches bankruptcy.


When a stock gets delisted, the shareholder still owns the shares and can choose to keep them or sell them. However, trading will have to occur on the over-the-counter market, and ownership rights can become worthless if the company declares bankruptcy.

No Effects on Ownership
.......................

When you buy a stock, you own it until you either sell it or, in some cases, the company redeems it from you. If a stock gets delisted, you don't have to hand over your ownership rights. However, those rights often become worthless.

In many cases, delisting occurs due to corporate bankruptcy, which typically wipes out original shareholders in favor of newly issued stock. Even if you hold on to your delisted shares, you often won't receive any shares in the company when it emerges from bankruptcy.

Decline in Value
................

Before a stock gets delisted, an announcement is made to the marketplace. Sometimes, a company will voluntarily delist its shares and make the announcement itself, but other times an exchange will announce that a company no longer meets its listing requirements. Because a delisted stock can be hard to sell, many investors will sell after a delisting announcement, driving the price down. This is particularly true in cases of bankruptcy, where there is usually no use in holding on to the delisted shares.


Decline in Liquidity
....................

If you are a shareholder in a stock, you are free to sell the stock to whoever will buy it. Your trade does not necessarily have to occur on a stock exchange. However, one of the main reasons for the existence of the stock exchanges is to provide liquidity for investors. Liquidity refers to the availability of buyers and sellers in a particular stock.

Normally, when you want to sell a stock, you simply enter an order with your broker, and your shares find their way into the hands of a willing buyer. If your stock gets delisted, it will usually trade on the "over-the-counter" market, which doesn't provide easy access to buyers. It could become difficult, if not impossible, to sell your stock.

Effects of Private Buyout
.........................

In some cases, a stock getting delisted might actually turn out to be a good thing for shareholders. If a company decides to go private instead of remaining publicly traded, it is essentially buying out existing stockholders. In exchange for your shares, the company will offer you cash.

After the buyout, the shares will be delisted. If you don't accept the buyout offer, you will keep your shares, but they will become worthless upon delisting.

dont let the malaysian become slave in their own country in the name of competitive business.. no harm raising wage at the expense on ROE...it does not reduce your competitiveness...as the majority business compete internally within Malaysia

malaysia have all the resources to ensure a wealthy nation...provided managed well and wealth is evenly distributed..

education, skills and competency is something the citizens definitely need to improve...but not at the expense of foreigners getting all the benefit they can get as a citizen

both drivers (1) & (2) above cannot be enforced....its difficult to come with an enforcement strategy...

but through education and encouragement on appreciation of quality life....this driver (1) can be cultivated naturally

.....................

Once you have the general population having Quality life mindset...the (2) second part from the capitalist will naturally start to form.....

Capitalist will realize they have to share more of their wealth to the wage earners...

distribution of wealth from capitalist to the wage earners does not affect its competitiveness when its done at global level (when all wage earners have the same expectation globally)...its merely a transfer of wealth...i.e sharing...

just for the sake of competitiveness we cannot encourage bangla lifestyle for the malaysians (be staisfied with 2K per month and live in a rented room with a bicycle as transport)...

instead the message is about encouraging all 'bangla' globally to live like 'malaysians'

its about increasing life quality mindset

The are two drivers to this effect:

(1) one from the poor side who naturally reduce the future poor population by having lesser children.....focusing on quality more than quantity

(2) secondly from the rich capitalist side to expect lesser return by distributing a bigger portion of the gross income from investment (capital) to the workforce as wages.....coz if they dont the workforce population would shrink in the long run


"the grass which is healthy only to seed - (case 1 above)...and the tree to sacrifice by reducing its own leaf & branch size to allow more sunlight reaching the grass on the ground - (case 2 above)"

this way you have a healthier population of grass and a smaller sized trees..in coexistence

I think one possible easy solution to this would be restricting the amount childrens the poor could have (1 for poor and perhaps 2 for the medium and 3 or more for the rich ).....as the extreme rich 1% capital (all savings goes to capital) carries no value without the existence of a future massive poor population consumption...


this should have a natural balancing effect on wealth distribution

even if this suggestion is not enforced..i think the massive future poor generation will wake up (become smarter) and agree to this principle/concept..and practice it naturally

there is something seriously wrong with economics and wealth distribution...

total collective work output of all work forces = total income of all work forces

Total cumulative income ~ = total cumulative consumption + total cumulative assets

99% of the work forces in the the world are working harder and harder than ever before....

meaning the 'work output' is greater per unit capita
....................................................

BUT...the Quality of life is no different or in fact worst than our ancestors in village 50 years ago.. who had peace..love..tranquility and so much time for another human...

Now...humans may even need to extend kindergarten age to even 3 year old babies..(or play mozart while baby is in mother's womb to improve IQ)...and work till 70 years old and even have to give support taking care of grand children (else their children will suffer)..

look at the amount of time invested for 'Education' (nothing more than a garbage information to make money..does it improve human characteristics & wisdom?)..the amount of time wasted on the roads (traffic) and the amount of time sacrificed being away from family & friends for money...

despite all the developments & so called progress 99% of humans are having no better life than animals int NatGeo wild....constantly struggling to survive the moment it exits from the mother's womb..

This 1% capitalist has gone overboard...and the 99% will wake up to this truth eventually
