New Straits Times: Covid-19 vaccine for Malaysia still a long way to go.
https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2020/11/643137/covid-19-vaccine-malaysia-still-long-way-go


Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said currently there were 10 companies claiming to have come close to finding a vaccine. However none had actually published their clinical trial data to be reviewed.

"Some companies such as Pfizer and Moderna claimed to have found a vaccine and that they had completed phase three of the clinical trial. But until now, these companies have yet to publish the data from the clinical trials.

"There are also media reports saying that Covid-19 vaccine has been found, but that alone is not enough to convince its effectiveness or safety," Dr Noor Hisham said during a Covid-19 briefing session with the media here today.

He said reports that Pfizer had submitted their vaccine discovery to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States on Friday for approval, was only for clinical interim analysis report.

"It is not the data from the clinical trial that they allegedly carried out," he said.

He was responding to a question on how soon a vaccine would be available for Malaysia and if three was any preferred vaccine producer for the country.

Meanwhile, deputy director-general of Health Dr Hishamshah Mohd Ibrahim said vaccine approval was not a simple process, as it needed to undergo various levels of testing and approval from multiple agencies.

"These companies have yet to provide data from their clinical trials, as required by the World Health Organisation and relevant authorities.

"There are several stages of testing and reviews which the vaccine must first pass, before it can be certified as an effective and safe to use vaccine," he said.

Funny, seriously funny.

The Edge Markets MY: Glove stocks up as Covid-19 rise checks vaccine-driven optimism.

Now when all dusted and settled, gloves play is still strong as ever.

Even with double good news on vaccine from Moderna & Pfizer, the US market Dow Jones still flattish and ended up Red. its really shows that vaccine impact is still far away and market over there is not really optimistic on post vaccine news. i expect that US market will shoot up like crazy, but no, the reality are businesses are still closed, oil and gas demand destruction are still around, airlines not flying, tourism is still under border shutdown, and the virus is rampaging.

so, why would market over here expect that it is already post vaccine play, when we are definitely not getting these vaccine from these drug company much2 sooner than US and Europe ...? We are perhaps 10th, 20th, 30th in line.

The negative impact of pandemic on sectors other than gloves are still in play. The only sector that still giving good investment return is Glove Business with low risk. Just sharing with my thought with the investment community.

HAPPY HUNTING.

TG is facing manpower shortage due to EMCO, while this is bad news for TG in term of loss of earning opportunity as TG will have to operate below capacity, this should be good news for other gloves counters.

at the moment when the world is facing gloves shortage, the largest in the world glove manufacturer has to reduce production. gloves price will definitely increase as demand vs supply is significantly become imbalance.

EMCO will last at least 4 weeks maybe more if the number increase today. so imagine within just a month the glove shortage will increase by 3 times as there are now in the US, UK, France, Europe facing the worst wave of coronavirus. Anybody can check now the dire situations in this countries. go to CNN and watch the numbers keep breaking new daily record. feel sorry for them, but as investor we make a move based on changing market environment.

most Glove counters are depressed now due to a slew of vaccine news. the news will fade away just like "Russian 1st in the world" vaccine news. good opportunity to accumulate other glove counters except TG.

1. gloves is easy to understand business, demand and supply also easy to forecast.
2. besides pandemic induced demand, glove demand rise with population growth. yearly, world population will just keep increasing.
3. developed countries usage of gloves are 3 times more than developing countries. however, pandemic created new norm in developing countries which see rising awareness on hygienic practices including wearing gloves. not only gloves companies have to meet increased demand from developed countries, they also need to supply to new customer in developing countries.
4. look at the rise of production of gloves, 20 years ago only in hundred of millions, now production in the billions. it will just keep increasing. that's the reason many new entrants to glove sector.
5. gloves mostly owner operated companies. no owner would like to see their business goes down under. so, it will continue to be managed well.
6. choose to invest in the existing gloves companies who have been in the business for a lot longer than the new entrants. why ..? because existing company are currently seating on heaps pile of cash. they are in the better position to protect their market share with advanced R&D, competitive pricing, retain top talents, factory expansion etc.


investing long term in this kind of companies hardly go wrong if ones know the value will just keep increasing. just sharing my perspective with the investment community.

The Dow is in negative territory today. The Pfizer news is really short lived. When reality sets in, market knows that the vaccine is far from reachable to the masses to make it matter the most for the economy. Oil and gas stock also failed to rebound, all in negative territory today. This is a fact, taken into consideration that Pfizer is going to supply the vaccine to the US first before the rest of the world when it is going to be available, it still fail to provide any positive vibe to the US economy. It is really foolish to think that the Pfizer vaccine will reach this country before the US. The news really has not material impact to the other section of economy except for pandemic related stock.

What this tell us when it come to investing ? Simple, the virus is not going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, it is raging wildly in the US, post election.

Thus, glove is still in play. HAPPY HUNTING.

US Market has spoken. The Pfizer vaccine knee jerk reaction is short lived.

@4:03 p.m. ET: Stocks mixed as vaccine cheer abates and tech selloff continues. Dow adds 262 points, ONLY 0.9% while Nasdaq drops 1.4%
Here were the main moves in markets as of 4:03 p.m. ET:

Still, widespread distribution of a vaccine – from either Pfizer or one of the other companies in late-stage trials including Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Moderna (MRNA) – is not likely to take place for months, even after approval is granted. Some analysts cautioned against extrapolating too far beyond Monday’s knee-jerk jump higher in markets as the race for a vaccine, and the ongoing uncertainty over whether Congress might deliver additional fiscal stimulus in the meantime, continue to play out.

The vaccine news is really a 2021 story and we still have the worst to deal with COVID, as cases run at new highs. So the vaccine is not an immediate fix,” Carter Henderson, Fort Pitt Capital Portfolio Specialist, told Yahoo Finance on Monday.

good opportunity to buy in gloves. market moves too far ahead regarding pfizer vaccine.
how to know? look at stock airlines stock, with no earning visibility in next 6 months, price already overshoot 50%.

sigh...naysayers hitting their head on the wall.
glove is the brightest sector during this pandemic.period.

its time to accumulate.

the sign for collecting more glove stock is here. this is the repeat of March burnt down. When whole index is down it is a good sign to collect more. its show that its not only happening to glove, as its also happening almost around the world. 2nd and 3rd wave is damaging UK, FRANCE, EUROPE with lockdown . so, other sector except for glove will be hugely compress. glove sector will come up on top as it is the only sector on the right side of the curve. stay invested in gloves. any low point, is a good opportunity to collect. history is in repeat right now. previously most people is saying economy will be V shape recovery, but now we see this as W shape recovery due to the 2nd/3rd ward. those who miss it before, this is will be second chance.

the past 7months of pandemic really bare it all. the following sector take the hit like no one's business:

banking -harder to lend money, unclaim loan, business struggling to pay
hospitality -loss that may not recover, more hotels close than open
airliners -one the verge of bankruptcy, world wide.
manufacturing -low output, no sale, no revenue
energy- factory low capacity & shop close, less energy use.
oil and gas -no end in sight,massive layoff worldwide.
property -gluts everywhere, unsold units, more condos but no buyer
construction -need vaccine for workers to work,definitely not until 2021
.
.
.
u can list it.

in BURSA the only bright spot with REAL revenue and profit, is GLOVE sector. its also a business thats so easy to understand. try BANKING sector, i bet not everyone understand loan impairment loss.

BURSA unfortunately doesn't have diverse tech sector which investor can ride on, for that u have to go outside. really, the brightest star is GLOVE. say what you want, until only after vaccine is found and 50% world population are inoculated, it is still GLOVE that will be making REAL MONEY. be a smart investor, ignore the naysayers.

i am not here to bash or teaching anyone, but i read this forum sometimes with glee and sometimes just scratching my head. lets get some basic out there:

1st of, to compare earning, profit etc, only compare with same sector. u will not get apple2apple comparison by comparing from different sector. each sector has its cycle and challenges. the companies in individual sectors respond to economic environment differently than others. 2nd, compare company within the same sector with similar sizes in order to gauge which has better earning, profit, strategy etc. u cant compare 20 mill vs 20 bill companies, its just not comparable. 3rd, dont just look at the ratios to determine company performance, take a historical outlook of the company up and down, at least 10 years. so u will get the feeling how the company respond to economic trigger in the past and how it affect the share price.

strong buying interest is expected next few days. because market realise, no other sector is benefiting from this pandemic except PPE business and glove sector.

oil&gas - recovery next 2 years after demand for traveling return
property - recovery next 2 years, loan approval very difficult
construction - recovery next 2 years
food & beverage -recovery after vaccine
hospitality - recovery only after vaccine
banking - recovery next 2 years
airlines - recovery only after vaccine
tech - selective counter
reit - next 2 years

which sector is the best right one now ? u answer it correctly, GLOVES.

with the 2nd wave of coronavirus hit many countries around the world, everyone can expect that gloves usage are going to double or triple than before . why ? its very simple. when the 1st wave of the virus hit the world, all countries are rushing to buy PPE in bulk, increasing the price.

now, when the 2nd wave hit, this ordered PPE will all be used up. so, countries need to order more PPE again at even higher price. the single most important PPE is glove, but u cant used it more than once. it has to be dispose of, not like face shield or face mask which can be used multiple times.

this simple fact can give investor confidence that gloves sectors are going to generate so much sale in this quarter and next. msia gloves cover 60% or world market share. u cannot be wrong to park ur money in gloves sector. the only sector in the world that can give favorable return with very low risk.

covid cases is likely top 800++ today in msia. around the world, the cases from 2nd wave are rising as well. what does this means to stock market ? its the same with what happen during 1st wave, all sectors are going down, if MCO is implemented again, we can be sure that other sectors except for PPE business, will be affected greatly.

the only sector that going to repeat stellar result is glove. history is repeating here, and this is fact. those who missed the first time, this is the 2nd chance to invest and get good return from gloves sector. ignore those naysayers who say negatively without any fact. at least for next the 3 years, stay invested in gloves.

where will investor put the money if other sector are impacted again from 2nd wave ? surely, all investor will return to gloves again.

when investing, always look at fundamental, technical and tactical. small retail investor don't have the sophistication to perform advanced technical analysis, we don't have access to up to date data (micro or macro). so fundamental is our friend. look at technical just to confirm direction, pricing and volumes . hardly looking at them all the time. technical analysis is more of an art, very subjective. even with years of experience under the sleeve, it still hit and miss. another factor to look for is tactical. what is the company strategy, short term or long term, what is the sector going to looks like 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 months down the road, any noticeable action from company etc.

i took notice on the buyback activities from SMAX, in april there were 9 buyback from the company. that was early on during the pandemic. from then on price has shot up significantly before BI > RM20. now, after the BI in Sept, SMAX started buying back 4 times already. this is tactical move, what it means that earning is going to go up. SMAX is buying back knowing full well the result next QR is going to be magnificent. just like what they did in April when SMAX, which based on historical data, that this pandemic is going to result in significant boost to earning vis a vis, EPS is going up, share price is going up. so, my friend ignore the nay sayers, stay invested in gloves. its the only sector that giving other sector ability to open theirs during this pandemic.

India's Serum Institute, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, says it will take until 2024 for the whole world to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.

"Realistically, for the whole world, for everyone on this planet – or at least 90% – to get it, it's going to be at least 2024," Adar Poonawalla, CEO and executive director of the Serum Institute of India, told CNN.
Poonawalla said some of the challenges of getting vaccines from the point of research and approval to administering them to patients include scaling up manufacturing of the vaccines and raising billions of dollars to fund procurement of the necessary doses.

He said administering the vaccines in certain complex geographies and countries is also a challenge.

The Serum Institute of India is working with five Covid-19 vaccine developers and is gearing up to make hundreds of millions of doses. But even then, the vaccine supply will only go so far in the short term.

Take India, for example, with a population of 1.4 billion.

"By July, August next year, even if we were to produce 400 million does, they're still going to struggle to vaccinate everyone using those doses,” Poonawalla said.
