As a shareholder, I only care about the value of my investment and from my rough calculation, my investment has shrank -18.33% yoy. The share buy back strategy is not working at all. No point to defend the share price if the business isn't delivering. Invest for better return instead.The share has dropped from RM5++ in 2012 to RM2.37 today. You can't go against the market after all. I hope Parkson will give cash dividend after the disposal of KL festival mall instead of share buy back.

This stock is officially canned in my list until a good dividend payout is announced.

Every week drop RM0.10 even with shares buy back, by end of the year, will reach RM2.00. Last year on 31st Dec 2013, Parkson closed at RM2.75 and if this year closes at RM2.00, the return would be -27.27%. Taking into consideration of two shares dividends with payout of 6% each, that would mean the return is approximately around -18.33%

Even if it used Ah Kong's money, still unable to sustain the counter price at RM2.40. Hence, this week Parkson closes lower.

Tomorrow market closes.

There have been 5 days of shares buy back since the renewal approval of shares buy back on 19 Nov 2014.These two days, they were using the method as highlighted by ks55. It just trying to maintain the open and closing price.

Maybe the chairman should just resign and let the younger blood to take over and turnaround the business. Selling the business in China could be a step forward and focus on Indonesia and SEA.

With the share buyback, may not be able to go down to RM2.00. Their method is to push up the price before market closes. That's how they sustain the price back in previous share buyback.

Parkson is still making profit but somehow, the share price isnt reflected. Some other counters in Bursa are making loss, yet their price are being manipulated and being pushed up.

If you already dont believe in Parkson's growth and business model, no matter what's the price, it makes no sense to invest and buy. Just like MAS...It's cheap but are you going and willing to buy it?

Thought it will go down more. Well, let s wait for q4 results before ppl sell again.

Releasing results today. Another bumpy ride ahead?

With the voting approval on shares buy back, believe there would be support to its price for the near term.

If you understand the concept of J curve in economy, you should understand what really happened to AAX. Q4 may not post nett profit as the jet fuel hedge is done until Dec 2014. Hence, for better results, need to wait for Q1 and Q2 2015 whereby the results will be announced in May and August 2015.

Invest your extra cash to other counters and start accumulating after CNY 2015. As per historical, bursa will always sell down a bit before CNY as ppl need money to spend. Next year CNY falls on 19th February. Get your bullets ready by then.

Coincidentally, Feb 2015 will be Q4 announcement too and hence with the poorer results expected for Q4 and sell down for CNY as well as the lower sentiment in Bursa due to all the sell down, AAX price may drop further during that time.

In my opinion, that may be a golden times to accumulate more of AAX shares. Trade with your own risk. This is only my observation and opinion.

No need to jump in so fast. Wait for the analysts to hammer the TP and then only buy when all the aunties and uncles continue to sell.

There could be right issues as the cash flow is limited. Cash and cash equivalent at beginning was RM212 million and now the balance is RM64 million. It has spent RM148 million in 3 months time.

Expected poor performance especially when the airline released promising operational stats weeks ahead before the financial announcement. As it has hedged its jet fuel, the current low price on crude oil wont be reflected in this year. Wait for Q1 and Q2 2015 for better reflection. However, on the other hands, FOREX loss may increase too due to weakening Ringgit.

The only way for it to make profit is to stabilize its expansion and all new route or expansion needs some time for gestation before delivering the results and profits. I m not that familiar with airline business and so any sifu here can share how long it usually takes for new route to start to bear better results and yield?

The price of Parkson would most probably goes south further due to weak results from both PRG and PRA. Just to highlight that both still making profit though it is less than YoY.

Results out for PRA.

Parkson Retail Asia going to release results today. Get ready for a rough ride either up or down.

Dont seem to going to release a good result. Usually the management tried to counter this by releasing a fair operation statistic, saying they are on track, delivering good services, etc. They did this last week. However, when comes to financial report, said the forex loss and depreciation eats into their profits and declared loss.

Don't accumulate now. Hold and wait for the results. It s just 6 days away.

hng33, price is weak, why still buy in Parkson?

The price reacts to the performance compare to previous year quarter.

parkson retail group result out.

I dont think Parkson has declared any dividend so far in 2014 except for dividend shares.

every counter also would goreng and the question is when. :)

I am waiting for the same.

As per the news, I don't think it's a lease but more to a mall management service. Meaning Parkson is getting paid to manage the junction mall. Isn't it?

B7 going to be implemented in Peninsular Malaysia this Nov.

Kian Leong Lim, what is your key point after all the analysis and comments? Buy, Hold or Sell?

and when down red, we open market.

These two days, the price is really yo-yoing there. Somebody is trying to push the price down while another group is trying to maintain it?

Selling off under performed, low potential or already exceed its potential assets is a strategy. You can't keep holding to your assets if they are not giving you the potential return. Same for those already peak at their potential and you fetched a good price to sell it. The question should be direct to what's next? With the cash raised, is there any new investment? If there is, is the investment sound with potential return vis-a-vis its risk?

The general truth is, with high risk, there is a potential of high return. So, where is Parkson investing next and what is the potential return?

I think the market reacts to the weak China "Golden Week" retails sales stats.

Lao sai again....

Parkson lao sai again today. What did I miss?

Who is going to foot the bill for their 24/7 IT operation? Do you really think they want to foot the bill to start up this 24/7? Most relies on the branch/outlet managers to trigger the alarm. Unfortunately, the branch manager is also a human and need to sleep cause he/she needs to report to work the next morning.

Any latest update on the merger. It seems quiet down already?

Stop depressing the price all you daily traders. Go and play with the penny stocks if you aim to make quick bucks.

With potential Opel sale and KL festival mall sales, Q4 results and cash balances would be promising.

The latest update said they are looking at B7 instead of B5. Anyway, it s just a target set by the Government. Whether it is attainable, that's another question.

Hold on and wait for Indonesia and Malaysia to announce the plan for Biodiesel 7. That should boost it back.

Still long way to go before back to IPO price @ 1.25

Mr Koon not around for the past 2 months. There are no more articles from him. Perhaps he offloaded everything already?

Bila CPO naik balik lah. Baru dia akan naik. Tapi, jangan risau, masih ada Big Bro supports -> EPF

RM600 per month for 5 persons? Are you living somewhere rural in interior Sarawak or Sabah? If you are working and living in Klang Valley, RM4 per person per day can break the Malaysia book of record. Care to share what is your menu or recipe? Kangkung, timun and fried eggs everyday?

The question is whether Ong will share his 1st price lottery ticket with the minority shareholders. The dividend was flat for the past two years even with more earning from RHB Capital. Gheekong, you may want to verify on the dividends again. I might be incorrect in this.

Really need a lot of patience with this counter. HOLD for now and wait for Q3 results in November. That should give some booster for this counter to move.

The only thing I recalled with OSK last time was the merger between OSK Securities and RHB Securities. ALthough OSK gained quite a bit from it, minority shareholders get nothing. Mind you, no dividend, no appreciation of counter price even though the NTA is more than RM2.30. It just stayed below RM2 for the next 2 years until now. Hence, in this merger, OSK still can choose not to reward the shareholders. So , be careful on your hope of getting a fat cheque from OSK.

AAX Indonesia gotten the Air Operator Certificate from Indonesia Authority.

More than 66.5% of the loss was due to depreciation and being in the expansion, depreciation would indeed be high with expandeded assets(aircrafts). You need to spend more to build up the capacity.

AAX CEO already mentioned that AAX only will be profitable in 2nd half 2014 due to expansion in 2013 and 1st half 2014. Why the surprise then on its losses?
