MAYBE CAN SHARE MORE OF MY OPINIONS ON AFFIN NEXT WEEK

DO NOT MATTER WHAT U THINK OF ME. YOUR OPINION IS NOT IMPORTANT TO ME.
I USUALLY DO NOT STOOP LOW TO PASS COMMENTS ON OTHER WRITERS.
I WILL JUST GIVE MY VIEWS AFTER GETTING NEW OR THE LATEST MARKET INFO.
MFRS 9 POSE REAL RISKS TO BANK SHARES
I AM SPEAKING FACTS. HENCE NOT JUST IMAGERY SCARE TACTICS.

ALSO WHEN PROFITS ARE DEPRESSED IT WILL MEAN LOWER DIVIDENDS PAYOUTS.
THAT'S THE NEW REALITY WE HAVE TO ADJUST TO WHEN CONSIDERING INVESTING IN THE BANKING AND FINANCIAL SHARES.
JUST SPEAKING FOR MYSELF AND MY LIKE-MINDED INVESTORS. THE OTHER GUYS ARE AT LIBERTY TO THINK AND REACT DIFFERENTLY

MFRS 9 IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY HIT ALL BANKS AND FINANCIAL ENTITIES'S COMING QUARTERLY PROFITS AS LOAN LOSS IMPAIRMENTS WILL JUMP UP. INVESTORS JUST CANNOT IGNORE THIS SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THEIR FUTURE PROFITS

NO ONE CAN BE SURE THAT HIS SELECTION OF THE VARIOUS PRICE TARGETS IS RIGHT OR WRONG. BASICALLY IT BOILS DOWN TO CONSIDERATION OF FUNDAMENTALS, TIMING , GUT FEELING, AND ONE'S LUCK. MY FIRST ENTRY INTO AFFIN WAS WHEN ITS TRADING AROUND 2.25/2.28. EXITED AROUND 2.88 TO 2.95. FOR MY SECOND ROUND I DID LOOKED AT THE VARIOUS TARGET PRICES . I DECIDED TO AIM FOR UOB KAYHIAN'S 2.50. LUCKY TO ACHIEVE IT AROUND THIS PRICE AND DECIDED TO QUIT AGIN AT ABT 2.66/2.67.
NOTHING GREAT BUT RETURNS WAS OK.

OTHER GUYS CAN SELECT THE HIGHER PRICE TARGETS. I HAVE NO MISGIVINGS. I ALWAYS BELIEVE IN SHARE MARKETS THERE ARE NO SURE BETS. I ALSO HAVE MY SHARE OF MISJUDGEMENTS

HAVE TO BE REALISTIC. MFRS 9 IMPLEMENTATION IS REAL AND ALREADY EFFECTIVE

CORRECT. ALL BANKS WILL HAVE TO REACT
ACCORDINGLY. AFFIN HAD ALREADY SAID THAT
THEY HAVE TO CUT ITS DIVIDENDS.

UOB KAYHIAN'S ANALYSIS WAS PROVEN RIGHT WHEN IT PEGGED AFFIN'S FAIR VALUE AT RM2.50 (WHEN IT WAS AT 2.82. IT ACTUALLY TOUCHED 2.49). IT WAS CORRECT IN POINTING OUT ITS VULNERABILITY TO ITS LOAN IMPAIRMENT RISKS.
NOW WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MORE STRINGENT MFRS9, ALL BANKS WILL BE BADLY HIT.
FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO FOLLOW UOBKAYHIAN'S N BOUGHT SOME AT 2.50/2.51 AND EXITED AT BETWEEN 2.67 TO 2.68.
SPEAKING ONLY FOR MYSELF I THINK ITS GOING TO BE RISKY TO BUY BANK SHARES NOW WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF MFRS9.

VERY HIGH DIVIDEND YIELDS OF 9.1% TO 10.2% (MUCH HIGHER THAN BANK FDs)

1H PROFITS AT 89.3M WAS HIGHER BY 83.9%
2) HIGH DIVIDEND YIELD CONTINUES TO BE PAID AND IS SUSTAINABLE.

BETWEEN MAY2015 AND FEB 2016 A TOTAL OF 8.1 SEN (DY OF 8.5%) WAS PAID

FOR 2017 A REPEAT OF ITS VERY HIGH DIVIDENDS AND HIGH DIVIDEND YIELDS IS ON TRACK :-

18-Jan-2017 31-Jan-2017 DIVIDEND First Interim Dividend 2.5%
28-Mar-2017 10-Apr-2017 DIVIDEND_SHARE Second interim dividend 1.2 : 100
21-Aug-2017 first-interim single-tier dividend of 2 sen for the FYE 31 December 2017
(CUM Dividend and PAYABLE SOON )

(YTD Dividends PAID AND PAYABLE IS ALREADY EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT 5.7 SEN PER SHARE)

PROSPECTIVELY A 2ND INTERIM DIVIDEND WILL BE ANNOUNCED THIS COMING NOVEMBER WHEN RELEASING ITS 3Q RESULTS (LIKELY A SHARE DIVIDEND OF 2 FOR 100 based on its active accumulation of Treasury Shares which had reached 4.772m as at 15/9/2107)

WILL BE FOLLOWED BY ITS 3RD INTERIM OR FINAL CASH DIVIDEND TO BE DECLARED COMING FEBUARY WHEN ANNOUNCING ITS 4Q/FULL YEAR RESULTS

ON TRACK TO RECEIVE A TOTAL DIVIDENDS OF BETWEEN 8.5 SEN TO 9.5 SEN (OR DY of 9.1% to 10.2%)

A VERY HIGH DIVIDENDS/DIVIDEND YIELDS PAYING POLICY (ON TOP OF STRONG FUNDAMENTALS AND ROBUST EARNINGS GROWTHS) WILL ATTRACT INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS TO BUY AND INVEST IN TROPICANA SHARES WHICH CAN BOOST ITS SHARE PRICE VALUATIONS

Dividend Reinvestment Scheme already approved by SC last year. Now waiting for Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad's approval for listing of the additional shares converted from dividend entitlements. Normally a very speedy process

We refer to the announcement made by the Company on 21 August 2017 pertaining to the declaration of a first-interim single-tier dividend of 2 sen per TCB Share for the financial year ending 31 December 2017.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of TCB, TA Securities Holdings Berhad wishes to announce that an additional listing application in respect of the Dividend Reinvestment Scheme has been submitted to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 15 September 2017.

This announcement is dated 15 September 2017.

YTD (9MTH ) PROFIT +176M OR +76% OVER THE PRECEDING 9MTH WAS STILL GOOD.
FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND CO. WELL MANAGED WITH GOOD BRAND NAME.
ITS SHARE PRICES HAD BEEN HOVERING AROUND CURRENT LEVEL TRADING IN A TIGHT RANGE.
LIKELY TO REMAIN LIKE THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

CURRENT YEAR'S PROFIT PERFORMANCE IS STILL GOOD.

COMPARITIVE PROFITS :
SEQUENTIAL QUARTERS :
2Q + 33.7M
3Q + 26.1M (LOWER ONLY BY 7.6M)

PREVIOUS 9MTHS + 100M
CURRENT 9MTHS + 176M (INCREASED BY 76M OR UP BY 76.1% )

PROFITS GROWTH IS STILL SOLID

SERENA717 'S COMMENTS ON THE DISAPPOINTING MANAGEMENT'S FEEDBACKS ON FUTURE DIVIDEND POLICY IS SIGNIFICANT.

JUST WONDER IF THE NEGATIVE INDICATION ON SUCH DIVIDEND POLICY WAS DUE TO THE NEGATIVE SURPRISE IN OUR DISCOVERY
OF A HUGE BORROWINGS OF RM270M (FROM ALMOST ZERO DEBT) SURFACING IN ITS LATEST BALANCE SHEET AS PER LATEST Q RESULTS.
HOW WAS THIS HIGH GEARINGS INCURRED? IMPORTANT TO KNOW AS THIS HIGH GEARING WILL AFFECT ITS FREE CASH FLOWS AND THEREFORE
ITS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN ITS PAST DIVIDENDS

I DID NOT ATTEND. HENCE ASKING THOSE WHO SAID THEY ATTENDED N WERE DISAPPOINTED WITH D BOARD'S COMMENTS ON ITS FUTURE DIVIDEND POLICIES.
HOPE THEY CAN SHARE. NEED TO HAVE AS MANY FEEDBACKS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FOR BETTER INFORMED INVESTMENT DECISIONS

serena717 after attend the AGM today, I will slowly sell out my stake. Some even walk out after listen the dividend policies. Guys, keep on bull sh*t won't help, especially with caps letter.
13/09/2017 20:44

Eric Fong How they say about the dividend policy?
13/09/2017 23:10

PLEASE SHARE WHAT U LEARNT FROM THE AGM.

TQ

U MEAN THESE 2 PROJECTS HAD ACTUALLY BEEN DEFERRED FOR 2 YEARS?

ALSO WHAT DO U MEAN BY "UNTRAP" ? U MEAN BETTER TO ESCAPE BY SELLING/EXITING?

2 NEW LAUNCHES WITH TOTAL GDV 710M WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WILL CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY AND ADD TO EARNINGS FOR FYE MARCH 2018.
1ST PHASE FORRESTA IN SRI DAMANSARA WAS A COMPLETE SOLD OUT SUCCESS PROJECT DUE TO ITS STRATEGIC LOCATION NEXT TO MUTIARA DAMANSARA (THE CURVE PJ) AND PERDANA DAMANSARA AND VERY WELL SERVED BY MRT , KTM AND DUKE HIGHWAYS BESIDES TOLL FREE MIDDLE RING ROAD MRR) AND ALSO TOLL FREE ACCESS TO KOTA DAMANSARA, BANDAR UTAMA AND TTDI.
HENCE ITS 2ND PHASE TO BE LAUNCHED COMING NOVEMBER WILL BE ANOTHER BIG SUCCESSFUL PROJECT

2474 ACRES OF FRERHOLD LANDS NEAR TG MALIM OWNED LONG AGO AT BOOK VALUE OF ONLY 0.40 SENS PSF COMPARED TO CURRENT MARKET VALUATION OF RM30 PSF

TYPO ERRORS.
KERLING LANDBANK NEAR TG MALIM JUST 1 HOURS DRIVE NORTH OF K.L. IS ACTUALLY 2,474 ACRES

THE LAST TIME WE ESTIMATED ITS CASH BACKING PER SHARE WAS 16 SEN PER SHARE.
WITH 300,000 ACRES OF LANDBANK COMPRISING SOME WHICH WERE OWNED AT VERY LOW COST (EG 274 ACRES OF FREEHOLD LAND IN KERLING CLOSE TO TG MALIM TOWN CENTRE HAS A BOOK VALUE IF ONLY 0.40 SEN PSF VS CURRENT MARKET VALUE OF 3.00).
MANY OTHER LANDS ARE ALSO OWNED AT LOW COSTS INCLUDING THAT PRESENTLY USED AS A CLUBHOUSE WITH GOLF DRIVING RANGE. THIS IS TO BE REDEVELOPED INTO A PRIME COMMERCIAL/SERVICE APARTMENT COMPLEX. ALSO OWNS LOW COST LANDS IN SENAWANG AND PENANG. HENCE LOTS OF HIDDEN VALUES IN ITS 300,000 ACRES LANDBANKS. THEIR DEVTS WILL GENERATE BIG FUTURE PROFITS. GROWING PROFITS PLUS CASH BACKING PER SHARE OF 16 SEN = CONTINUITY IN 2 SEN DIVIDEND POLICY WHICH WERE PAID CONSISTENTLY FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS.
BIG SHAREHOLDERS ALSO BENEFIT FROM GOOD DIVIDENDS. SELF INTEREST FOR THEM TO CONTINUE

THE FACT THAT ITS MAIN SHAREHOLDERS, MAYLAND HK, HAD PURCHASED 3.8M MORE SHARES AT 0.225 FROM THE OPEN MARKET HAS MANY POSITIVE IMPLICATIONS ESPECIALLY POINTING TO ITS STRONG FUNDAMENTALS AND ITS GOOD GROWTH PROSPECTS

L&G to launch RM710m GDV worth of projects in FY18

-A+A
PETALING JAYA (Sept 13): Property developer Land & General Bhd plans to launch two projects with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM710 million in its financial year ending March 31, 2018 (FY18).

Its managing director Low Gay Teck said the group is confident the property market will show resilience and probably realise positive profit from to-be-launched projects.

He also said that at ground level, the interest from buyers side has improved from last year.

"Of course there is no doubt that it (property market) is not as buoyant as three years ago, but it has improved from last year in terms of the interest from potential buyers and lock in sales that we are achieving from our Astoria project," he told reporters after the group annual general meeting today.

The launches are the first phase of the township project Sena Parc in Senawang, Seremban which comprises 453 units of double-storey linked houses at an estimated GDV of RM230 million.

"We will be launching this pipeline project by November this year," Low said, adding the group is waiting for final approvals from the relevant authority to launch it.

Additionally, the group will also be launching its second phase of Damansara condominium known as Seresta at Bandar Sri Damansara in February next year.

"That's (Seresta) the second phase of our completed Damansara Foresta," Low said.

He said the Seresta project comprises two towers with a total of 452 units. The estimated GDV for the entire Seresta project is RM480 million.

Currently, the group's existing land banks stands at 3,000 acres.

"We are confident that other opportunities for well-priced land banks will arise and remain on the lookout for such opportunities," Low said.

At midday break today, L&G shares rose 2.27% or 0.5 to 22.5 sen, with 1.50 million shares traded for a market capitalisation of RM659.02 million.

1H RESULTS WERE GOOD WITH PROFITS UP 171% TO 150M.
COMING 3Q PROFITS WILL BE BETTER AND THIS WILL PROPEL ITS SHARE PRICES TO 1.70 TO 1.80 LEVELS. COMING FAST

I THINK U MAY BE RIGHT. MAIN SHAREHOLDER MAYLAND HK INCREASING ITS STAKES HAVE MANY POSITIVE INDICATIONS FOR L&G

Zhejiang Geely Holdings Group that inked a definitive agreement under which it acquired a 49.9% stake in Malaysia’s national car manufacturer for RM460.3 million – a peanut amount indeed – is facing growing pains at Proton.
Sources revealed the Chinese automaker is now feeling the difficulties of being a minority partner – since the 49.9% does not make it a majority partner – in the Malaysian company.
The source

WILL THIS AFFECT ITS PLAN TO SET UP A NEW PROTON CITY PLANT IN TG MALIM ?
IF SO THEN TG MALIM WILL NOT BECOME A BOOM TOWN AND THE EXPECTED INCREASE IN LAND VALUES MAY NOT HAPPEN WHICH IS A NEGATIVE FOR L&G'S 274 ACRES LAND IN KERLING NEAR TG MALIM

(Disclaimer: just to share market news available in the public domain. it NOT a buy or sell call on any share counters)

BNM UNLIKELY TO RAISE INTEREST RATE . ECONOMY DOING WELL WITH INCREASING GDP GROWTH COMBINED WITH DECLINING INFLATION . BNM CALLED THIS OUR ECONOMY IS NOW IN A "SWEET SPOT".. HENCE BNM HAS WILL MAINTAIN ITS INTEREST REGIME. MAY EVEN LOWER IT TO BOOST OUR ECONOMY FURTHER

WHAT IS NEEDED IS GREATER INVESTORS SUPPORT IN HIGHLIGHTING TROPICANA'S ATTRACTIVENESS AS A VERY HIGH DIVIDEND YIELDING STOCK WITH A BIG MARGIN OF SAFETY (NTA 2.21) BASED ON GOOD FUNDAMENTALS

STRONG FUNDAMENTALS PLUS GOOD EARNINGS WHEN COMBINED WITH HIGH DIVIDENDS (PROSPECTIVE DY 9.5%) CAN ATTRACT INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS LIKE KWAP (GOVT PENSION FUNDS) EPF AND FOREIGN FUNDS) WHICH LIKE HIGH DIVIDEND INCOMES WITH MARKET SAFETY.
WE CAN ACHIEVE BOTH CAPITAL APPRECIATION (RISING SHARE PRICES ) AND HIGH DIVIDEND INCOMES .

High dividend stocks may find favour as market headwinds abound

STOCK HEADWINDS

As investors weigh increasing risks for equities, including stretched valuations in what is typically a difficult period for stocks, the high dividend payers may be a safer play in a market that could be primed for a pullback

1)CURRENT SHARE PRICE AT 0.945/0.95 GETTING TOO CHEAP TO BE IGNORED.
STRONG FUNDAMENTALS AND GETTING STRONGER WITH HIGHER REVENUES AND PROFITS ACHIEVED EVERY QUARTER.
1H PROFITS AT 89.3M WAS HIGHER BY 83.9%
2) HIGH DIVIDEND YIELD CONTINUES TO BE PAID AND IS SUSTAINABLE.
BETWEEN MAY2015 AND FEB 2016 A TOTAL OF 8.1 SEN (DY OF 8.5%) WAS PAID

19-Feb-2016 03-Mar-2016 DIVIDEND Interim Dividend RM 0.0200 Dividend Detail
26-Nov-2015 09-Dec-2015 DIVIDEND Interim Dividend RM 0.0500 Dividend Detail
11-May-2015 23-Jun-2015 DIVIDEND_SHARE Final Dividend 1 : 100

FOR 2017 A REPEAT OF ITS VERY HIGH DIVIDENDS AND HIGH DIVIDEND YIELDS IS ON:

28-Mar-2017 10-Apr-2017 DIVIDEND_SHARE Second interim dividend 1.2 : 100
18-Jan-2017 31-Jan-2017 DIVIDEND First Interim Dividend (with Dividend Re-Investment Plan) 2.5%

The Board of Directors of Tropicana is pleased to declare a first interim single-tier dividend of 2 sen per ordinary share in Tropicana (“Tropicana Shares”) for the financial year ending 31 December 2017 (“Interim Dividend”

TO DATE INCLUDING THIS 2 SEN CASH D PAYABLE SOON IS ALREADY 5.7 SEN (DY 6%).

WE CAN EXPECT A 2ND INTERIM AND A 3RD INTERIM(OR A FINAL D) DIVIDENDS TO BE DECLARED IN 2017 IN VIEW OF ITS INCREASING REVENUES AND PROFITS THIS YEAR.

A TOTAL DIVIDEND PAYOUT OF 9 SEN (DY OF 9.5%) IS ON THE CARDS MAKING TROPICANA ONE OF THE HIGHEST DIVIDENDS/DIVIDEND YIELDS STOCK IN BURSA

LACK OF INVESTORS INTEREST WAS THE REASON WHY ITS SHARE PRICE IS STAYING DOWN AND DEPRESSED.

THE HUGE UNBILLED SALES WAS NOT BOOKED AS REVENUES N PROFITS DUE TO LONGER TIME NEEDED FIR FOUNDATION WORKS FOR TALL BUILDINGS. AFTER THIS STAGE PRGRESSS WORKS WILL BE FAST. ANF UNBILLED SALES WILL BE QUICKER TO BE BOOKED AS REVENUES N PROFITS FROM NEXT Q ONWARDS.

VERY INTERESTING TO READ AND LEARN FROM ALL THE SKILLED SIFUS ESPECIALLY ON THE DIFFICULT METRICS TO QUANTIFY AND FORECAST ITS RESULTS/PERFORMANCE.

NOW LETS RE-FOCUS A BIT ON ITS NON-METRICS.
SOMETIME AGO I READ A VERY COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS WHICH ALSO ADDRESSED THE CONCERNS OF SOME INVESTORS THAT THERE IS LITTLE TO WORRY ON IT BEING MAJORITY OWNED BY A CHINA BASED CO BCOS WE HAVE DATO YVONNE CHIA AS A DIRECTOR. SHE HAD RECENTLY RESIGNED.

THE SELLERS Q AT 0.58 MAY LIKELY DISAPPEAR IN THE AFTERNOON SESSION ?

apolloang now they purposely put 58cts many sellers to scare the retailers to sell
25/08/2017 09:51

GOOD OBSERVATION. SYNDICATES WILL PLAY MANY ROUNDS. UP N DOWN.
THE BIG PLAY UP WILL BE WHEN THE RM750M CASH DEAL IS FINALISED

ON FURTHER THOUGHTS, I AM NOW MORE DOUBTFUL OF ITS PROSPECTS AND WILL BE MORE CAUTIOUS BEING AFRAID OF FUTURE UNEXPECTED NEGATIVE SURPRISES LIKE THIS SHOCKING IMPAIRMENT AND HUGE 4Q LOSS.

UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER IMPAIRMENTS UNKNOWN TO US.
THEN ITS DIFFICULT TO INVEST IN THIS COUNTER.
MANY OTHER LISTED OIL PALM COMPANIES ARE DOING SO WELL. BUT JTIASA IS REALLY SO DISAPPOINTING.
NOW WE UNDERSTAND WHY KYY HAD A BITTER EXPERIENCE WITH IT AND CUT LOSS LAST TIME

NEXT QUARTER'S RESULTS AND PROFITS WILL BE MUCH BETTER WITHOUT ANY MORE GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT (ALREADY WRITTEN OFF IN ATEST Q

4Q LOSS DUE TO GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT OF 66M. OTHERWISE ITS 4Q WOULD HAVE BEEN PROFITABLE. OVERALL ITS FULL FYE2017 REMAIN PROFITABLE
ALSO THE IMPAIRMENT LOSS IS ITS JUST AN ACCOUNTING DEBIT ADJUSTMENT ENTRY WITH NO ACTUAL CASH OR REVENUE LOSS.

FUNDAMENTALS AND FINANCIALS REMAIN INTACT
Still paying a dividend.

JTIASA’S OIL PALM PLANTATIONS ARE WORTH A LOT OF MONEY. INDICATION FROM BOUSTEAD PLANTATIONS’ RM750M CASH OFFER FOR DUTA LAND’S COMPARITIVELY MUCH SMALLER ESTATES.
JTIASA’S PLANTATIONS ARE MUCH MUCH BIGGER IN ACREAGE.

TREASURY SHARE DIVIDEND 1 : 200 = 500 TREASURY SHARES FOR EVERY 10000 ORD SHARES OR 1000 FOR EVERY 20000

EQUIVALENT TO CASH VALUE OF ABOUT 5 TO 6 SEN TOTAL DIVIDEND

ALREADY GOT 5.727M TREASURY SHARES

EXCELLENT 4Q AND FULL YEAR PROFITS IN COMING REPORTS
HIGHER DIVIDENDS WITH A CASH D OF 1 SEN PLUS FREE TREASURY SHARES 1 : 200 LIKELY (GIVEN A FEW TIMES IN THE PAST
