G.Morning Mr.Koon.Nice to hear that you are so happy. Cheers!

Seneca 4BC-AD 65
I don't mean to say he's wrong entirely, but over time one can see some deficiencies.

Hence the modern day definition is more persuasive? ["Luck is "a purposeless, unpredictable and uncontrollable force that shapes events favorably or unfavorably for an individual, group or cause".]

Hmm Seneca, interesting. I wonder what he would call it when there was no preparation and yet opportunities come rolling in or "avalanches" in measures that are over filling? It can't be luck per se if Seneca's take is to stand as it involves preparation.

2.3m vol. 50sens is a tough barrier?? Come on

"One cannot be rich unless he is intelligent and more trusting in what he reads."[Mr. Koon]

My further humble suggestion, ..unless he is intelligent and more DISCERNING instead of more trusting in what he reads.

dis·cern·ing
adjective,

: able to see and understand people, things, or situations clearly and intelligently
: showing insight and understanding : discriminating <a discerning critic> [Merriam-Webster online dictionary]

I taught my child not to trust at first sight be it new ideas or people.
We only trust after doing our due diligence. So then there is no blame but only ourselves when things go wrong.We are all responsible for our own decisions ultimately, that is the law of nature.

Well, Mr. Koon, my "pea" understanding of luck, would simply this, a poor guy just buys a lottery ticket and viola, a millionaire over night.

Wikipedia's definition:
[The definition of Luck (or chance) varies by philosophical, religious, mystical, or emotional context of the one interpreting it; according to the classic Noah Webster's dictionary, Luck is "a purposeless, unpredictable and uncontrollable force that shapes events favorably or unfavorably for an individual, group or cause". Yet, the author Max Gunther defines it as "events that influence one's life and are seemingly beyond one's control".]

Looking into the life of Nikola Tesla, the guy who gave us the AC(alternating current) which the whole world now uses;

["Although he made a considerable amount of money from his patents, he spent a lot financing his own projects. He lived for most of his life in a series of New York hotels although the end of his patent income and eventual bankruptcy led him to live in diminished circumstances"] wikipedia

Was Nikola Tesla at the "wrong" time? Or was "luck" not with him? Wasn't he intelligent? (I'll think Mr.Tesla was a class above the rest in intelligence during him time.)

Only my 2 pence. E&O

May I suggest that "without due diligence" would be a better phrase that "without intelligence" in you subject content? Again my 2 pence worth. :-))

"Without intelligence, one cannot be rich unless he has valuable inheritance" Mr. Koon, can luck, or fortunate, ie right place right time ect, be included? Just only my 2 pence.

Is the horse ready to cross 0.50 ? GL

All set to ride the "3rd wave"? GL & don't fall and get trampled. :-))

Nice ride. Just remember to cushion yourselves well. GL :-)

Slightly below our expectation of profit, but we note the overall profit of the 2nd qtr.

I'll collect again 0.46-0.475

Horse riders are having a field day at at MUI 's group today. Duta will have to wait for these riders. :-))

Rotational plays. Today looks like the MUI grp s' day. Maxwell next?

I'm UPLoading again buy at 0.505 :-}

Maxwell.Intl. should seriously consider giving "free" warrants in lieu of dividends like Xinquan. How about it Maxwell.Intl's directors?
Maxwell price will shoot like a rocket. Win Win??

Some john sold me his revolver on the cheap. Nice

0.52 now everyone want to ride the horse. Welcome :-))

Nice. A 0.5sen or 1 sen rise perday is the start. Bronco days are not here yet. Transgenders stay out please.

@leslieroycarter, one must have holding powers and wisdom for this duta ride. Above all make sure to cushion the "pairie osyters". GL and ride the horse well :-)) cheers

@leslieroycarter you are a real man. Just be prepared for the rough ride ahead.

Duta trading at 0.485 today. Still not too late. I bought at 0.45 - 0.46. It's the year of the horse let's ride it. Transgenders stay away, all riders must be prepared for the ups and down. :-))

Any chartist here to comment on duta?

2nd Qtr comming report better show improvement or else,,,

@ iafx , that's old news dated 28Nov13. Waiting for the latest Qtr rpt.

XDL, CSL, rotational penny stocks play. Maxwell next??

Calvin you are right on that Dutaland's land turn will come. Keladi had bolted and now is down today by 4%. There will be ups and downs, there'll be rotational turns. Dutaland is next and well primed

Bought 0.45 :-))

Which is the better bet? XDL or Maxwell?

Just buy when small little willies sell.

Those weak dutaland holders please sell your shares. I'll buy 0.46 all the way down. After all RM is a piece of paper only. :-))

You are right iafx. Dutaland has lousy management. We are talking about assets stripping here. Kick out the management and sell their chairs and everything. :-)
If you have a RM1M car on the the road, and if you can't take care of it someone will drive it away.

This Dutaland is for people who can see value.

Back in 2010 in Ireland when the banks were all going bankrupt, the Bank of Ireland had 2 Rights issues(i think). The last RI was at 0.10 euros.That's abt 40sens. Wilbur Ross bought a few BILLIONs euros of the rights.Who would in their right sense invest in a bank in crisis?

Today the Bank of Ireland is trading at 0.299 euros abt Rm1.30.A few billions x 3

Dutaland anyone?

Stock168, good facts. I like the plantation land. If I'm not wrong the current price for palm oil plantation land is Rm70k/ha. Wow NTA of Rm1.00.

Like someone said the Grand Hotel is not valuable,even if the new owners were to donate it(which is like giving away cash Rm350m?) Dutaland's plantation alone is worth Rm1.00 per share.

Dutaland NTA= 3.01 is fair risk considering it now trading at 0.46-0.465. I'll buy, accumulate,buy.
