I believe the Saudi's decision to not renew the 50 year Petro Dollar agreement and Malaysia's intention to join BRICS nation and hence less affected by the USD is a contributory effect to Malaysia prospects as well. Among other things, the unstable geopolitical scene has somewhat benefited Malaysia in the semiconductor field and the current reforms a move in the right sector. Another plus point is that the KLCI is in low 1600 points, still room to improve to at least mid 1600 mark. As long as no more huge financial scandals, unforeseen calamities and no sudden economic policies to shake up the market, I think the only way for the market is upwards.

Ah, he deleted his comment. Hope he will Insaf. Nothing good will happen to his life if he continues with his useless rant.

Some quietly use their brains to make money. Others use them only to make silly comments which doesn't benefit anyone including themselves and end up wondering why life has been unkind to them and why bad luck always befall them. That is because they don't realise that the negativity energy that they exude only serves to attract other negative energy into their lives. Be careful what you wish for, your genes will suffer because of your indiscretion. I can tell that you are not well off as those with money would not waste their time sprouting rubbish no mater under which fake user profile.

Best summed up by the Sociologist, Oscar Lewis in his study, Cultural of Poverty theory. It states that .. 'that people born into poverty become adapted to poor mindsets. His theory was that those mindsets cause people in poverty to continue in poverty and pass it down generation after generation..'

Wow.. Harimau seems to be holding steady above the RM10 mark. Guess market anticipating the bank to meet its goals

Wah.. very good. I stopped monitoring and suddenly Harimau closed at 10.10.. Wonder if the goodie bag in September like Xmas coming early. So glad I sold off my ASM and bought Harimau earlier this year. Congrats to all Tiger lovers.. our conviction finally paid off.. niceee

@Dragon328 Thanks the update. Was about to ask you on your views on the TM/Singtel merger and it's possible impact o YTLP earnings prospect. FYI, we share the same views, at least until 2025.

@Sumbody Actually I used to think like you that Bonus Issue is a good thing but someone shared in another forum post that Bonus Issue is not necessarily good as it will dilute the shares and share prices will be less fluid. IMO while I would love to have 'more' shares (value the same), I prefer the shares to be more exclusive and limited for prices to shoot up.

@sumbody I wish when ytlp share price above Rm6 will announce bonus issue

2024 May 26: 1 new important update for YTLPOWR (SWS)

YTL Power International Berhad YTLPOWR

4.95 -8.2% 299.2%

Price target increased by 19% to RM6.21
(Up from RM5.21, the current price target is an average from 12 analysts.)

Stock is up 299% over the past year.
The company is forecast to post earnings per share of RM0.39 for next year compared to RM0.25 last year.

@Dragon328 Do you or know anyone else who has the latest HLIB research papers on YTLP thats says TP 7.45?

Luckily I don't anyhow follow any 'Guru' blindly but rely on my own research and searching for knowledge. Users like @Dragon328 and a few others have been very kind to share their knowledge with the group to which I am sure many like me are very grateful to these forumers. To date my 'paper gain' is 37% - YTLP alone contribute over 600+%. All I want to say is one cannot make all money every counter as we have limited resources to begin with. To those so called experts please keep your investment ideas to yourselves. Many like me will only read up useful info from serious YTLP investors like @Dragon328 and a few others. We treat all other investment advice and ideas as just 'white noise'. Peace

Another Bumi company success in delisting. That's why I very very hesitant to invest in Bumi companies. VERY VERY RISKY. This one joins Sumatec in Devy Jones Locker. RIP. I also lost money in Sumatec, the first Bumi company stock that I owned - sorry to bilis if they badly burned as well. Next time don't blindly follow 'Bumi this Bumi that'. Sometimes your greatest enemy is your own kind. Peace

@Mabel Do you happen to have a copy of the HLIB report? Can share pls?

Lol, I find all the post on the share price price falling funny. Remunds me of Chicken Little on the falling sky. This is generally same pattern across all markets due to lower expectations on rate cuts on US so capital markets retreated a little. For serious investors here, if I were you, don't even bother to pander to all the trolls here by justifying the fall in price. If you are like the rest of the shrew investors, keep silent, bid you time and grab offers when it arises. Only fools will go around screaming the sky is falling all the time. Hilarious really

First interim dividend of RM0.03 patable 28 June 24 and ex date 11 June 24

@GungHo123 YTL has been releasing their QR in last week Aug/ first week Sept since 2015. I highly doubt they will change anytime soon. One possible explanation is that since YTL is a holding company, any benefit to YTLP will spillover to YTL since YTLP expected to release QR today (usually Thursday this week)

I am just here for the money and entertainment. Yes I am happy that they offer at rm11 as I always consider selling at rm11 and yes I am happy that some of us here also triggered on politics as well. GG Malaysia

@mabel thanks. glad to see you are also finding success in 'the other stock' too

@stkoay actually equity investing is not complicated compared to crypto. in stock investing, the information and signs are aplenty. the trick is separating the gems from the rubbish in information. you see Madani government already directed EPF to invest more locally to boost economy - the multiplier effect comes into play. also, when price suddenly goes up all of sudden, something must be happening behind close doors e.g. MAHB - prior to announcement of buy back, the price kept climbing for few weeks, obviously the stake holders are in the know and would suddenly buy without triggering the limit up. same happened to YTLP. you suddenly see directors start buying back in dec 2022, you know that something is up. true enough in april 2023 when the NETR was again pushed by the govenment, the stock flew. i bought it back in June 2022 when i noticed that the price was 2d lowest at 0.67 compared to April the same year at 0.45. and the RE business is definitely the way forward. the global energy business is an important one. so same like banking. its stable in good times and unless some unforeseen happen, unlikely to fail. BNM is quite good i managing the country's finances. the last part is the guts and means factor - you must have the courage and resources to go in when the time is right. this is based on your stock investing experiences, something you will develop if you invest and monitor long enough. oh and one more thing. one cannot be too emotional when it comes to investing. To quote Meja:

"It's all about the money"

Lol. SWS gave the following comment:

- Fair value at RM20.57
- Good value based on its PER (12.5x) compared to the Global Integrated Utilities industry average (17.4x).

luckily managed to buy a sizeable amt at 9.78, as the windows of opportunity was closing as just entered the 1600 points. Missed earlier to collect when it dipped to 9.63. anyone still waiting?

aiyoh ignore this fella la... he goes around talking off topic in other forums as well like some ADHD fellow. let us make our $$$. ignore these trolls

@Raymond Thank you for the 2009 Forbes article. Really gives me an idea on what TS vision and direction. Based on said article, looks like he almost always invest in good businesses and not withstanding any external surprises, our investment into YTLP is likely a sound one for many more years to come.

He is nearing 70 years of age, hopefully he can continue to helm the empire for many years to come too.

Had wanted to buy before it broke 1600 mark but all good as finally happened on 2nd day it broke the 1600 level. More blessings from Harimau to come.

@stkoay thanks for sharing. apparently according to remisier a lot have took profit of YTLP warlier this week,

Nice 9.84 already. Btw who has been collecting 105 non stop transaction since 10.59am? nibble nibble.. buying strenght at 65% - will drop soon as it reaches the 70%... be careful guys. another 'catch and release' tactic by sharks?

Orders all matched at 9.78 @ 4.39pm. Lets see if it will drop further after 2nd break and resume at 4.50pm

hah! knew sharks setting a trap for billis at 9.79. the way they tickle the billis with 1 - 2 lots at 9.79 occassionally while they parked whole army parked at 9.80. true enough, 4.15pm all in sailang billis. I parked at 9.78, hopefully can get some.

anyone going in today? :-)

@stkoay thanks bro, I understand and thanks for sharing

Is it too late to get into the Sotong action now? seems the price almost 2 fold. Dont want to be stuck in Penthouse Condo. Any thoughts on this? If so, what would be the good entry price ?

yes, banks with exposure of foreign investment will do well.. either performance wise and also forex currency wise

@speakup Friendly advise bro, I'll be careful if I were you when posting sensitive stuff. You cannot hide behind pseudo identity. The government can track you down via your ISP number address. All IT programs have a 'backdoor' for audit purposes to track down cyber crimes. Take note.

@stkoay, @Mabel Thank you for the information. I also just called up ASN to check and they say that usually 1-3 working days. Since my withdrawal is huge, CS says most probably today or tomorrow. Loading up bullets for next dip. Let us all together sapu the low prices to force FF and Sharks to buy high and push up Tiger price.

-------------
stkoay
I have not tried before, i understand it's 2 working days.

----------
Mabel
Usually it's 3 working days..

Meow

@stkoay ASN withdrawal online transfer takes how long? I redeemed yesterday abd they said funds transfer by yesterday but so far nothing. how long did your took?

@i3gambler Thanks for the simplified explanation. Saves me the time to explain to my friend when I just send him your explanation. Also, buying cheap shares (DRIP usually sold at low price) will ensure you get more dividend in the future OR if you also decide to relinquish your portfolio in future, you will still be getting that amount (or higher) back then. Thats what I love about DRIP

@Agjl You're welcome. All of us here share for the benefit of one another - well at least some like @dragon328 and a few others anyway).

I normally look at the share technical charts to see the trade and volume pattern as well to determine if the time is right to go in (one of the many expensive lessons learned along the way in equities investments. I take analysts TP as a guide but with a pinch of salt.

Even my remisier told me once that he also dont trust 100% what his Broking firm analysts share out. Who knows what hidden agenda these brokerage firms have at stake with their investments as well.

I usually only trade in stocks with consistent dividend payout and with solid fundamentals. Like what was shared in the other forum, I'll also share what Warren Buffet once said, invest in the Business you understand. I try and avoid seasonal businesses. REIT is a good stock to hold but risk from interest in OPR ad maybe life changing events like Covid. Financial market in a growing economy is a good choice as well. The days banks when fail, no hope already for the country. Anyway Malaysian Banks if no scandal are a pretty safe bet for me. Meanwhile RE is the way forward now as Madani Govt is pushing hard for it. So it's a no-brainer for an opportunistic investment.

Hope you find your trade and business you believe in too. Btw, I never get sentimental over my stock portfolio. For me it's all about the DY and how it will provide me cashflow in the long run. Day trading is not really my cup of tea as it requires constant monitoring and my time, a luxury which I rather not waste on looking at the stocks daily. Stressful and may not necessarily be rewarding all the time. Above all, hold on to your conviction and DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH as well. Good Luck!

@Mabel Yes agreed. Carpe Diem my friend, Carpe Diem. Time and tide waits for no man. Maximise your returns asap. Nice to see your investment in MBB forum too. Trying to beat brother @stkoay with his annual RM50+K annual dividend!.. so far no success, not even close ... sigh

on this note, like the others here, thanks to @dragon328 and the others for their dedication and passion in sharing useful information to the rest of us. It certainly has been a roller coaster of a ride over the past 6 months.

@Agjl I believe the fortune for RE sector has a shelf life like all industries where eventually the barriers to entry to this monopolistic industry will be lowered for competition. I heard a industrial analyst or fund maager from US (if unmistaken) on BFM recently who said that RE industry life around 2-3 years before healthy competition comes in. YTLP benefit is not only in RE but tech and utilities as well. So the appeal is there. IMO whether to realise profit or not from YTLP depends on your age and your expectation and financial goals. Equities are just investments to get you nearer to your financial goals. If you are young can enjoy the small yearly dividend and enjoy seeing the paper profit OR realise the huge gain and invest into other equities with better higher dividend. For example, I am targeting for YTLP to have enough profit to buy MBB shares that pay out a dividend of RM0.60 (usually RM0.58 annually) compared to YTLP RM0.06. Basically I translate the paper gain to actual stock price and my dividend will be 4 times annually from MBB (roughly 60+ years of forward dividend from YTLP in advance) compared to if I didn't switch at all. So no right or wrong but rather my personally goal to earn passive income from my portfolio of dividend stocks. Downside? I might miss out of extraordinary profits from sale of assets and special dividends when YTLP eventually diversify its portfolio.

I will eventually cash out above 4.60 to 5.50, I will then pump my money into Maybank and increase my annual dividends 400%. While I will miss YTLP eye candy, my pocket lined with $$$ more important

@Steven Chan haha

@Stkoay agree. when FF exit and big boys come in, only a matter of time when FF will come again. That time the stocks will fly. Of course big boys will exit to take profit. All these horse trading happens all the time. The trick is when to come in and scoop on the cheap. So as long as KLCI is below 1600 points sure got many more opportunities. At mid 1600 the gravy train will slow down considerably and even stop. the highest was 1800s during the bull run of yester years. Just sharing my thoughts with all here. Dont flame me ya

@Huangbk72 you mean they all crawl back to their lobang cacing ya? Correct? Haiyoh!

Coconut will only appear when price drop. He will hide for now 😆😆😆

where have all those mafakas gone? the ones shouting nonsense like some makcik bawang. like the wind they appear and disappear. Haiyoh! Correct?

@Steven Chan Sotong kering is also another word for underwear being had out to dry. Sotong also used to describe a feminine guy / Gay. So please use the word Sotong in the right context.
