There are so many such billionaires in Malaysia who did this kind of exercises many times already, such as Ananda Krishnan and Vincent Tan. But investors forget things very often, and they like to bet their luck too. Therefore, i think an investors friendly management is much more essential than stock valuation when choosing a long term investment target. For this reason, I'd most definitely say this, TTB, is one of the WORST when talking about investors friendly corporate philosophy. When a company's growth become slow and expected to be slow for a reasonably long period of time, an investor friendly CEO and board will often offer some yield to be given to investors. This is the most common thing they do to show appreciation.

bstead stock price dropped from 2.90 two years ago to today's 60 sen. And now Boustead wants to take it private. Do you think this is "good news" for "VERY LONG TERM INVESTORS"? Hahaha! It's a joke. You hold the stock, you think maybe 5 years later the stock will rebound 200%. But, major shareholders won't let you take that opportunity, they will take it private at extreme low cost. After that, they restructured and reform the company. Few years later, value arise, the original stock probably valued at 3.00 per share, then the major shareholders re-listed the company, and earn themselves millions of profit. You? "long term investors"? You can only buy it back at 3.00 (while sold to them as penny stock.

TTB supporters, be ready to spend another 10 years to wait for the next bear market to arrive, and continue to see ICAP price at 2.05 for 10 years. Very long term investors of ICAP.

Just wondering....if we put the investment into FD, what will be the different in 10 years holding (as a very long term investor in Malaysia).

TTB will only buy Public Bank stock when it goes down to 5 ringgit a share, then he can tell the world SEE? I TOLD YOU! And build another glory story. If price higher than 5 ringgit, TTB just keep telling the world AIYA, MARKET IS OVER VALUE LAH! , and at the same time keep receiving ICAP paying him millions of fund manager fees every year without taking risk of his HUGE REPUTATION OF VALUE INVESTOR.

TTB don't care ICAP shareholders loh, cheap people die cheap only. Rich people gets richer and richer, like TTB.

The so called "value trap", in a way, is ICAP.

Stock

2019-11-12 06:02 | Report Abuse

ICAP used to trade at premium to asset value. In recent years until today, it has been traded in a discount range of 21%-28%. Market speaks for itself. Speaking of long term, as many supporters like to mention, ICAP has been trading at the above mentioned discount for more than 5 years. It's not a sudden drop of confidence, it is in fact a gradually losing confidence on TTB. The discount not only portraits market sentiment against TTB's investing skill, it also portraits (i bet, the major reason for the discount gap) market's view on how investor-friendly TTB has been. In short, TTB doesn't care much on ICAP holders' benefits. Many stocks traded at premium valuation to their peers, simply because market thinks the board, CEO or major shareholders are investor-friendly, they care about investors' benefits.

this news quite obviously wrote by people sided ICAP management team.
yes, ICAP's long term performance was good. However, for those who followed closely to ICAP's holding shares, we understand that it did some great choice in early years, especially taking advantage of the previous financial crisis. BUT, a BIG BUT, TTB has been once again "willing" to take on another round of financial crisis. He has been officially WAITING for it to happen. This is a HUGE PROBLEM in investing. Buffett always warn us about the risk of timing the market, and TTB is doing exactly it. He has been very stubborn on Parkson, which doesn't make sense. Buffett sells bad businesses many times, long term doesn't mean stubborn. TTB choose to hold tremendous ratio of cash for the past 5 years, while watching world economy moving in great pace and stability even with current US-China trade war. But TTB still, stubbornly, WAITING for his optimistic GREAT OPPORTUNITY, that is, SIMPLY, another financial crisis to come. Final word, don't expect similar good results in ICAP for the next 5 or 10 years. Its current long term performance was, almost achieved by luck (of picking up stocks after a fatal financial crisis).

TTB is a stubborn old man, who cannot admit himself of making mistakes (definitely unlike Warran Buffett). He doesn't sell Parkson, because he doesn't admit it's a mistake for holding Parkson for so many years blindly waiting for the business to turnaround. And TTB also doesn't admit he made a serious mistake of waiting for bear market to attack the world with huge damage. TTB waits for years and years, hoping his "bad dreams" to become reality, so that he could declare he won.

Oh, btw, he made others (the fund holders) to wait, not himself actually. As for him, he didn't wait a second for receiving millions of manager fees every year.

Each year, TTB received huge profit coming from calculation by the fund's NAV, no matter how the iCap share price performed (unlike many world class company's style, which paying fees to their CEOs judged by the stock price performance).

Each year, iCap's investors watching their investment gaining (on paper) much lower than FD, not to mention Bursa index.

Tony is definitely one of the biggest con man in Malaysia history. Remember how he talked about Airasia X when looking out for IPO. IPO price at 1.25, watch how it performed all these years. Wondering how those big shareholders think now. And he still plans for other listings in other countries, what a con man master.
