@John Lu, I believe you missed this part of the article?

Anyway, what can kcchongnz benefit from giving contrary views? No harm having an additional independent view to keep us traders/investors informed.

i3 forum = independent, intelligent, informed.

@titus,
guess our aim of buying PCHEM at low prices would not be possible anytime soon, support seems strong and the bulls seem to be back in Bursa.

UTDPLT has impressed me, share price movement wise. Other plantation stocks are struggling to maintain its price while UTDPLT remains comfortable.

highly impossible to drop to RM3, or even RM5 for now, unless nxt QR shows a loss.

Max limit down would be RM5.50 for KESM's price, until Sept 2019 at least.

KESM is not a rotten stock yet. Plenty of unscrupulous management running horrible businesses out there, but KESM is not one of them.

Always trade/invest only in stocks with proven, strong financials.

"Rule No. 1: Never lose money.
Rule No. 2: Never forget rule No. 1."

Sei Kang Lah!

This is what happens when you buy stocks without strong fundamentals - heavy losses.

Well, QL has had 10 continuous uninterrupted years of giving dividends, which many companies fail to do. Generally good companies give generous dividends but QL puts its cash into good use by reinvesting in its business, which is delayed gratification for investors when QL churns bigger profits in future.

To say Philip has no integrity or his stock analysis is baseless is entirely untrue. His stock analysis carries more weight than 90% of what us i3investor forumers' comments. At least his stock picks produce sustainable returns with low risk as compared to speculative hot stocks which have high risk of capital loss.

Profit down mainly due to increase in raw material cost and consumables, which doubled.
Revenue actually reduced by RM10mil only.
It seems very bad but a closer look will tell us it ain't that terrible.
I would collect if KESM falls to RM5.

Look at 2015/2016's div amount.

I expected a higher div this time, since some of last year's cash was for capex.

Besides, this wouldn't spark the market's interest, & SAM's price would probably not rise beyond the limit of RM8.50+, based on the behavior of SAM for the past 3 yrs, at least.

Good prospects nonetheless frm SAM in this tough economic environment, maybe my expectation was too high.

yup, Uchitech, one of the lesser known good stocks that have escaped the radar of the masses.

IOI to dip a bit due to founder's passing?
RIP Tan Sri Lee, you were a good man.

Anyone knows if ICAP is still holding Boustead shares?
ICAP is going to suffer badly if they refuse to offload them, like how the deadwood Parkson did.
ICAP was good in its earlier years, and if they could just replicate that, exciting times would await in future.

TA Securities: "60-70% of Padini’s products are imported from China and stronger Ringgit shall eventually translate into better margins."

JF APEX: "strong brand name among Malaysian households and trendy yet value for-money products offerings."

Padini is stronger than you guys think.

LOL, highest profit in years but dividend is so-so. I wonder how the market would react to this.

I've been away for a few days. Now what I see is fellow forumers taking the opportunity to bash Mr. Philip when QL announced a slight drop in YOY performance in this QR.

Oh please.

Didn't the overall revenue & profit for QL increase from FY 2018 to 2019? Not many companies grew in overall revenue & profit in the past year amidst challenging economic environment.

Again, price is what you pay. Value is what you get. PE 50 encompasses stability that QL has been providing recently. PE 5 Dayang is good for trading, but huge volatility comes with it.

QL is one stable stock alongside PB Bank which I can safely rely on while buying more speculative stocks for trading.

Obscure and underrated stock.

Just curious. What strategies are you guys using for GTRONIC after seeing the worst QR in years?

1. Buy cheap and average down. HODL.
2. Sell now bcause QR is atrocious. Avoid further losses.
3. Hold until next QR. It will stage a comeback!
4. Day trade and Shorting the shares.
5. Avoid, bcause it's too volatile, a falling knife.

It would not crash to 1300-1400 level. Not in the near term, at least.
There will be support as some are happily gobbling up shares.
Trump's actions and policies seem to be good to the US market, so Wall Street will not fall.

As long as Wall Street remains intact, Malaysia, like any other market is still safe. Recovery is possible in the short term. Unless, of course, President Xi declares an all out trade war against Trump.

Besides, oil price is steadying now.

Impossible for 0.6/0.7.
If it really happens, can ditch other stocks and buy VS only ady.
80sen level is good enough for accumulation for a stock which has good past performance like VS.

Unker qqq3, please jaga kesihatan & sleep earlier.

Winter is Coming for Inari. Brace yourselves, RM1.10 might arrive.

Retail investors with spare cash may take the opportunity to add more of their favourite stocks now.

I remember Dec 2018 where market was all doom and gloom but alas! The skies are blue and the Sun shining once more!

NOTE:

US-CHINA TRADE WAR UNDULY PULL DOWN FUNDAMENTALLY STRONG QL

SO NOW FOR THOSE WHO MISSED QL ABOVE RM6.80 IS GETTING A BARGAIN

SEE, SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDERS BOUGHT QL WHEN QL FELL

23-May-2019 Insider CHIA SONG KUN (a substantial shareholder) acquired 44,100 shares on 21-May-2019.
23-May-2019 Insider CHIA SEONG FATT (a substantial shareholder) acquired 44,100 shares on 21-May-2019.
23-May-2019 Insider CHIA SEONG POW (a substantial shareholder) acquired 44,100 shares on 21-May-2019.
23-May-2019 Insider CHIA SEONG FATT (a company director) acquired 44,100 shares at 6.680 on 21-May-2019.
23-May-2019 Insider CHIA SONG KUN (a company director) acquired 44,100 shares at 6.680 on 21-May-2019.
23-May-2019 Insider CHIA SEONG POW (a company director) acquired 44,100 shares at 6.680 on 21-May-2019.

What?! Fallen to RM8.63?
That's not a price low enough for me to stock up.
Drop to RM8.00 then I can consider.

Buying TOP quality companies yields TOP results.

Don't get your hopes too high. One lacklustre coming QR is all it takes to whack Dayang back to <RM1 levels. Too risky.

The above was the WARNING I gave few days ago.

Remember. "High risk simply means a high probability of losing your money."

@calvintaneng,
Inferior compared to other products doesn't mean one is lousy. Merely means one is slightly lower in quality, eg 916 gold vs 999 gold.

QL is for investment purposes. Why sell QL now when there's more profit to be churned out? Why kill the Golden Hen now when more golden eggs are arriving in future?

QL = Quietly Lucrative.

Anyone who is a day-trader can visit Trending Stocks section where you can find Dayang, Leong Hup, or even the Pied Piper's favourite Velesto.

@shpg22,
3 days won't make a dent.

Egg-cellent cost cutting measures frm QL.
(but I agree QL eggs, quality wise, are inferior to Lay Hong.)

Business-wise, QL is superior to many other listed companies.

Geez, Focus Point is listed? Never knew about that.

ah, so when the directors buy, everyone now becomes optimistic...
nature of investors indeed...

what do you think would be the price to enter? (considering the recent QR and market sentiment on tech stocks)

Would Inari break the RM1.20 mark, technical analysis wise?

5.48% dividend.
RM3.10 in share price.
Nearly half of IPO cost.
But only at RM2.80 might LCTitan seduce me.

Pied Piper's stock

@劉尹光,
agree.
some big shark is calling the shots now.
they will push below RM1, trapping the lucky IPO owners. (or rather, unlucky.)

Either you believe it's a golden egg with some droppings on top, or it's a normal egg that's bound to spoil.

@Heavenly PUNTER Research IB,
And your choice is? Changing your path to that of an accountant?

Paying dividends is important.
1. Investor's return.
2. As good record for future investors.
3. As a symbol of quality. Many Bursa stocks don't even pay half sen.
4. Show that free cashflow is real.

@calvintaneng,

Magic is where something is created out of seemingly nothing. It may appear out of someone's beliefs and expectations. It may also be mere trickery. Magic in anything can also be the result of consistency.

@jollybee,
which branch are you referring to and did you complaint to their superiors?

or are you saying that PBB causes us investors to lose money?

For me, no issues. Personally, I feel it's one of the fastest banks & among the most sustainable stocks. Will HODL.

@calvintaneng,
this is a forum where anyone can express anything as long as it's not extreme. You can say anything you want in any i3 forum. I can do the same.

You know, you can't silence me unless you become i3investor admin first.

"I think you and I are destined to do this forever." Whereever you hangout in i3, I won't hesitate in joining your discussion. Perhaps you could enlighten fellow i3investors on 'real life' instead?

crowdfunding for the house you want works only if the location is good.
you buy in places having oversupply 5 years later house still same price.
the key is purchasing property in places which are constantly in demand.

@calvintaneng,

I'm very thankful to you for making me laugh non-stop. Nonsense statements from you makes LOL.

"price rise of crude oil will eat into Padini cost of production"? ------My reply: What's the correlation here?! Padini is mostly cotton-made.


"Sorchai 3iii does not understand correlation of production cost and profit. After he bankrupted people in invest lah forum he will spread his poisoned teaching here" ------ My reply: I believe you were referring to yourself instead of 3iii? 3iii's sound investment theories are time-tested reliable strategies. Your speculative theories seem more like "poisoned teaching".

Don't get your hopes too high. One lacklustre coming QR is all it takes to whack Dayang back to <RM1 levels. Too risky.

calvintaneng,
you may have beaten the established sifus from Jan 2019-May 2019 but don't forget you have never beaten them previously.

Form is temporary, class is permanent. Great companies will always beat mediocre companies consistently from medium term to long term.

Buying TOP quality companies would yield you TOP results.
