hiya. maybe there is nothing to worry about. personally this spac game is too risky for me. but many many players CREAMED with this counter.

no profit track record. plus no dividends. plus highly paid managers. plus oil and gas industry (i rarely if never invest in o&g) equals no go for me. doesn't mean you can't make money. no o&g is just one of my personal restrictions to control complexity and minimise risk.

I want to ask a couple of things for more astute investors.

1) Why Strip Time.com of its prized asset?
2) Doesn't it seem rather self-serving, to the CEO & his partners?
3) Without the Digi asset and dividend, how does Time.com mitigate risk?
4) Wouldn't the Digi asset be MORE valuable in Time.com, to leverage in an emergency situation, whereby CASH is needed or collateral required for borrowings?

Can someone help me out here please.

i wouldn't stress if i were you. non-farm payrolls getting better. bear case getting weaker. how is stopping QE a bad thing? surely it means that the US economy can stand on its own two feet. that has very positive implications for equities everywhere.

2013-06-11 02:40 | Report Abuse

I'll be honest with you Mr Ganasai. I don't like Target Prices, especially when I see a company that is performing so well. Just like Power Root. I will hold, as long as the company KEEPs on PERFORMING on a quarterly and annual basis. So I pay very close attention and eagerly anticipate EACH quarterly report, and try to digest whatever I can get from management. I also pay close attention to the COMMODITY price of coffee as this is the ACHILLES HEEL of the coffee counters...

http://www.investing.com/commodities/us-coffee-c

IF there is a SHARP RUN UP in coffee, these counters will be negatively impacted.

But that said, I am a value investor. Warren Buffet style. If I like a company and it is doing well by me, I see no reason to cut and run.

Another great example of a value share play is Padini. Remember the days when it was trading at 20 SEN. Wow. Who'd have thought it could reach RM2.00...but it did!

Then we can talk about DKSH, Dutch Lady, Tasek our Public Bank etc etc, but

Some of these of course are cyclical and affected by up/turns downturns and some by government largesse. Oldtown is afflicted by non of these as it a FMCG/consumer play. Your family to the worst criminals and government officials still NEED their daily cup of coffee come hell or high water.

We as Malaysian shouldn't underestimate a company just because it is Malaysian, but at the VERY same time, we MUST be CAREFUL and SKEPTICAL. Too many instances of FRAUD and POOR GOVERNANCE. That is what i look out for and am MOST concerned about!

If you want to raise doubts and be skeptical fine. i personally think that is wonderful. but PLEASE, for goddess sake, try to talk sense to the FOOLS in the MAS, KNM, AGLOBAL, LUSTER, TIGER, MAS, KNM, SCOMI, PATIMAS, SMARTAG etc etc

You are right. I wish people were more questioning, skeptical like you on counters like AGLOBAL, LUSTER, TIGER, MAS, KNM, SCOMI, PATIMAS, SMARTAG etc etc

BTW NTA is not a great way of valuing a firm, especially one thats encountering phenomenal growth, or with great growth prospects.

To illustrate my point at how ridiculous NTA is as a metric;
NESTLE - NTA/share - 3.99
DUTCHLADY - NTA/share - 3.83
DKSH - NTA/share - 1.91

Even if there is a market crash, do you think the shares will come down to NTA???

1) Is revenue decreasing?
2) Is EBITA decreasing?
3 Is profit decreasing?
4) Is COGS increasing?
5) Is dividends decreasing?
6) Is MARKET share decreasing?
7) Is coffee (commodity price) getting MORE expensive?
8) Are we in a BULL market or BEAR market?
9) Is the CEO and BoD LYING to shareholders?
10) Is the CEO and BoD LYING wasting shareholder funds?

OF course lah Gansai, there will be some drops. But you failed to ANSWER any of my earlier questions. So AGAIN I will repeat. One by one...

1) Overvalued??? who are you to say what is overvalued or undervalued?
2) Do you even know how to read financial statements?
3)Why is it that investment banks ALWAYS telling you to sell good counters with such LOW TP's?

- Can you please answer these questions.

If I'm not mistaken, some still have RM9 TP for Tasek. Why??? I believe the share is trading very powerfully at 16.10. SO WHY??? such a LOW TP????

@arebear "Then came in 2012, i change my strategy and i want to be more like an investor or at least short term investor (holding a stock at least for 3 years). 1st Stock i bought is very small cap PRLEXUS, i still hold TIMECOM, MAGNI and UOADEV. My biggest success so far is PRLEXUS with average price of 0.644 (price including the broker charge).'

- Seems like you learned from you earlier mistakes. that is good. made similar mistakes also. nothing wrong with that. the companies you now own have done pretty darn well. thanks for sharing. i like consumer/fmcg, packaging (i missed MAGNI, because i focused on TOMYPAK and DIABOCHI), financials and cement.

TIMECOM good long term hold especially with the new team

UOADEV (i avoid property as i already invest in financials and cement and don't want to triple-up!) were also on my earlier lists. but i don't have $$$ for all the shares i want!
