humongainz If you don't exit end of tomorrow before another profit taking occurs, you'll be left stranded for a bit, be careful. So look at your screen all day, and time it properly har.
Long term 'investors' for this counter only gets burnt. Next 1-2 years sure? Maybe better returns, maybe worse, but still profit har. After that, you would be holding a stinking a pile of shit due to the aggressive low-margin diversification of this company. By then, all these ventures will just be a limitation of the company's growth long term.
After that, the holders of this high-debt company can go Holland dy when glove use reduce by a sizable chunk, while it's still be higher than the past due to the new normal.

Once Maybank price go above 8.70, TG possibilities of over take MBB as Taikor is almost impossible . 2 months after releasing 4th QR, the market capitalisation of TG will break 84 billion !!!!!!!!

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 16): Hartalega Holdings Bhd, which expects an additional demand for 120 billion pieces of disposable gloves in the next three years, does not foresee any sharp earnings contraction after 2021 as some analysts anticipate.
"The analysts are correct [on the earnings forecasts]. But when it comes to the third year, after 2021, they start to give us [earnings] contraction... and [it's] a very sharp contraction.
"I mean this is an opinion, right? They can be right at the end of the day. I do not know. But by my guidance, what the analysts have said cannot be right,” Hartalega's executive chairman Kuan Kam Hon told the media after the group's annual general meeting yesterday when asked to comment on analysts' earnings forecasts.
"We are on the ground. We have been in the business for the last 30 years and analysts are not able to see what we are able to see," he added.
The market consensus estimates the net profit of the world's largest nitrile glove maker to swell to RM1.8 billion for the financial year ending March 31, 2021 (FY21) and to grow further to RM1.918 billion in FY22 before dropping to RM1.219 billion in FY23, according to Bloomberg.
Hartalega made RM434.7 million net profit in FY20.
For its first financial quarter ended June 30, 2020 (1QFY21), Hartalega's net profit jumped 134% to a record RM219.72 million compared with RM94.06 million a year ago. Quarterly revenue soared 44% to RM920.09 million from RM640.1 million, as it sold more rubber gloves with higher average selling prices.
The supply of disposable gloves will not be able to meet their demand in the next three years, said Kam Hon.
"Right now, there is an enormous shortage [due to the pandemic]. We do not even know whether we (the industry) have enough to meet the demand for 120 billion more pieces of gloves in the next three years," he said.
"Glove dipping is a long process. The expansion or transition period [to meet the demand] is at least three years," he said, adding that the group's annual capacity now stands at 38 billion pieces.
"Even in the fourth year, if you have extra [rubber gloves], they'd go into the inventory building. When you have a supply shortage, you are not able to build up inventory," he explained.
Kam Hon said Hartalega is now expanding its capacity by about 20% per year, and that this is a pace slightly above the industry's organic growth.
According to Hartalega's chief executive officer Kuan Mun Leong, the demand for gloves for developed countries has increased by 30% since the outbreak, whereas for developing countries — where the gloves per capita consumption used to be very low — the usage has more than doubled.
Mun Leong said the group is accelerating its capacity expansion.
"To date, we have commissioned 10 out of 12 production lines for Plant 6, while for Plant 7, the first production line is on track for completion by October 2020.
"On top of this, Hartalega is further scaling up our expansion plans with the acquisition of land adjacent to Plant 7 of the NGC (Next Generation Integrated Glove Manufacturing Complex).
"This will see the construction of four additional plants, namely Plants 8 to 11, which will progress expeditiously, adding an installed capacity of another 19 billion pieces per annum once completed," Mun Leong added.
Going beyond this, Mun Leong said Hartalega's long-term capacity growth will be propelled by the next expansion of NGC, or NGC 2.0. The group is aiming to commission its first production line under NGC 2.0 by the first half of 2022.
"Once fully completed by 2027, these expansion plans will see the group's total annual installed capacity increase to 95 billion pieces per annum," Mun Leong said.

ASPs for CY21F Fixed at substantial premium.
Acute shortage driving ASPs higher
In term of ASPs, glove makers are expecting further hikes up to at least 1QCY21F.
This is on the basis of the recent increase in raw material prices as well as the acute global shortage of gloves.
"Based on our estimates, glove ASPs could rise by 10-45% qoq in 4QCY20F to US$50-100 per 1,000 pieces, which is above our current forecasts."
-- CGS-CIMB
However, we gather that certain glove buyers are willing to offer fixed ASPs (at a substantial premium to current ASPs) with a minimum 1-year contract tenure to secure glove supply.
In our view, this should provide certainties of ASPs for CY21F if glove makers agree to these contracts.

Keeping their hands in the glove sectors
Barber Elyas Yunoos, 36 wearing face shields with all disposable items such as apron, gloves and gowns cleaning up all his hair cutting tools following instructions and SOPs by health ministry due to the Covid-19 pandemic before reopening of their shop at Lebuh Acheh in George Town.
PETALING JAYA: Hartalega Holdings Bhd and Top Glove Corp Bhd, the top-two largest glove makers in the world, are having separate events this week that will offer investors direct insight into the companies business prospects.
With a combined market capitalisation of over RM100bil, the two companies hold oversize sway on market sentiment.
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, their share prices have led gains on Bursa Malaysia.
This was on the back of a strong quarterly earnings growth, boosted by strong demand and higher selling prices as the world scrambled to stock up on the vital protective gear for their frontliners.
The order visibility of glove makers is robust, CGS-CIMB Research said in a note on Friday, while average selling prices (ASPs) are expected to remain elevated at least for another year.
But despite this bullish outlook, the pressure is rising for glove makers to justify their lofty valuations.
Anxious investors are tracking the Covid-19 vaccine development closely, while investment in new glove-making capacities is likely to curb future price hikes.
These concerns contributed to the recent pullback in glove makers’ stock prices from their recent peaks in early August.
One equity research firm, last week, had even downgraded its target price for Top Glove by half, triggering a fresh round of sell-off that quickly spread to other glove counters.
Top Glove came out strongly to defend itself, spending over RM200mil over the past three days to buy back its own shares.
For Shahril Othman, a 40-year-old creative manager who in July opened his first share trading account, the wild swing in the stock market is quite daunting as a novice investor.
“I think glove makers will continue to do well this year, given the current pandemic situation, ” he said.
Local retail investors were a major force in driving the FBM KLCI from its low in March, as the index outperformed many of its regional peers, thanks to the meteoric rise of the glove makers.
Participation by retail investors has hit a record high this year, filling the void as foreign funds retreated.
“A lot of people have made a lot of money on glove stocks, but some are anxious about their investment, especially after the recent plunge, ” Shahril said.
Tomorrow, Hartalega will be holding its first ever virtual AGM.
The company is expected to use this opportunity to update shareholders on its business prospects in the current financial year.
Shares in Hartalega, which closed at a record high of RM20.50 on Aug 3, was last traded at RM12.44 on Friday.
That is nearly a 40% drop in just barely a month.
Investors will be looking for some kind of reassurance from the management before they rekindle their love affair with glove stocks.
Hartalega, in August, reported a 134% increase in net profit to RM220mil, or 6.5 sen share in the first quarter ended June 30.
Consensus analysts’ estimate has put its full -year profit at RM1.75bil, or 53 sen a share, largely on expectations that earnings will increase substantially in the coming quarters on strong demand and rising product prices.
Meanwhile, Top Glove is scheduled to release its fourth-quarter results ended Aug 31 on Thursday.
Expectations are high for Top Glove to deliver, especially after its executive chairman Tan Sri Lim Wee Chai on Friday said in a statement that the company was confident of robust growth.

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 15): The supply of the rubber gloves will not be able to meet the demand in the next three years, said Hartalega Holdings Bhd executive chairman Kuan Kam Hon.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference after the group’s annual general meeting today, Kuan said currently there is an enormous shortage of gloves due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Right now, there is an enormous shortage, so we (are) always short on gloves. So the system is compromising because there's not enough gloves. So we do not even know whether we have 120 billion more pieces of gloves in the next three years, do you think it's sufficient? I don't think it's sufficient.
“Glove dipping is a long process, the expansion transition period [for gloves] is at least three years, we are constantly expanding, and what is our glove (production) per annum? Maybe 20%, slightly more than the organic growth,” he said.
Kuan added: "To us, (this) is a big challenge because it is in relation to our capacity, in relation to what we produce, 20% is a lot more."

KUALA LUMPUR: Hartalega Holdings Bhd says demand for rubber gloves won’t be affected by vaccines for the Covid-19 coronavirus and will continue to outstrip supply in the next three to four years.
The pandemic has changed users’ behavior, that has resulted in the demand for gloves, chairman Kuan Kam Hon told reporters. Demand for usage in developed countries have increased 30% while in developing countries, usage has more than doubled, he says.
The industry cannot meet the 120b of additional demand for gloves. This demand can only be fulfilled in three years, he adds.
Spot prices for gloves have jumped 30% this quarter and he expects them to increase 40-50% in coming quarters, he says.
Glove prices are now three times higher compared to those during pre-covid-19.
Hartalega earmarked RM1.5bil investment to build four plants, of which first two lines will be operational by October 2021.
Another RM3bil is for its next expansion phase, its so-called NGC2, which will be fully completed in seven years. - Bloomberg

I had been interested in stocks since I was six or seven and I'd charted and done all this technical analysis, it was a lot of fun but it wasn't very profitable,

Staging strong rebound after nine days of intense sell off
Over the past two weeks, glove counters have been under intense selling pressure driven by two main reasons.
According to an equity analyst, the main reasons were cashing out on the exponential gain as well as repositioning to other stocks especially pharmaceutical and technology.
“After nine trading days, the tables have turned again in favour of the glove counters following the halting over vaccine trial by UK based AstraZeneca due to complications as well as the continuous surge of Covid-19 cases globally,” the analyst said.
While the world is hoping for a vaccine for Covid-19 to be produced soon, she said pharmaceutical companies which have been in the race to come out with one, are experiencing hiccups.
On a two-week basis, the healthcare index which comprises glove makers, pharmaceutical and hospital players saw a drop of 25.17 per cent before staging a rebound of 9.15 per cent on Friday (Sept 11).
As the week ended, rubber glove stocks have dominated the top gainer segment, while being the main index, the FBM KLCI ended on a stronger note driven by robust performance by Top Glove and Hartalega.
Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd research vice-president Vincent Low said the move was driven by bargain hunting in glove counters following the recent sell-offs.
“Glove counters have been oversold over the past week. In the coming week, we foresee that demand for glove stock will be on the rise, indicating a healthy correction,” he said.
Uptrend still on the cards
In terms of market capitalisation, Top Glove stands at RM62.97 billion, Hartalega (RM42.64 billion), Supermax (RM19.33 billion), Kossan Rubber (RM13.66 billion), Comfort glove (RM2.14 billion), Rubberex (RM1.46 billion) and Careplus (RM1.36 bilion).
Despite the latest slip due to recent sell offs, research houses are still optimistic on the future performance of glove companies as Covid-19 cases have yet to show signs of slowing down.
With health operating procedures in place as well as rising concern of another wave as winter season approaches, steady demand, and positive financial results indicate a stability for the sector.
“While retail investors especially are often following the trend be it buying or selling, we believe that glove companies are an asset to invest in as the pandemic will create a new norm, leaving demand for glove on a steady note,” said an equity analyst. — Bernama

EdenOfSaudi1 For the past month, Tan Sri has bought half a billion. He’s already hinting so obvious it is way undervalue.

Value investing n Growth component are joined at the Hip.
No less than the Oracle of Omaha agrees, writing in the 1992 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders:
[…] most analysts feel they must choose between two approaches customarily thought to be in opposition: “value” and “growth.” Indeed, many investment professionals see any mixing of the two terms as a form of intellectual cross-dressing.
We view that as fuzzy thinking (in which, it must be confessed, I myself engaged some years ago).
In our opinion, the two approaches are joined at the hip: growth is always a component in the calculation of value, constituting a variable whose importance can range from negligible to enormous and whose impact can be negative as well as positive.
In addition, we think the very term “value investing” is redundant. What is “investing” if it is not the act of seeking value at least sufficient to justify the amount paid?
Consciously paying more for a stock than its calculated value – in the hope that it can soon be sold for a still-higher price – should be labelled speculation […].
