maths teacher a lot of philosophies but no money.
No money? But how you know?
But one thing for sure. This maths teacher not only good at teaching maths. He can also teach self-proclaim accountant about simple accounting stuff such as what is enterprise value, what is IRR, what is risk and return etc.
He can also teach him about life, humility etc. which he so short of at his age.

There are two very strong supporters of you in i3investor. Listen to the words of Sslee, you will continue to gain respect, and also avoid the potential troubles you will likely to face. You will leave a legacy behind.
Listen to the words of the other makes you shiok,no doubt, but it enlarges your head and ego so much so that you don't know what you may be getting into.
You have enough money. More money may be shioking, but you do not need not make more in this way.
Understand the very basic of economics, the law of diminishing marginal utility.

Let us consult the most active accountant in this forum, the one and only Stockmanny.
Is the following statement extracted from the article correct?
"From the recent announcement, you can see that the company has received an initial of about Rm 60 million out of the Rm 400 million. Unfortunately, a large part of this profit was used to pay for the interest charges for the loan taken for its property development business."
Stockmanny, why haven't you clarify my question above since you promoted this stock so much?

a project can give you $ 1000 per annum and yield you an IRR of 12%.
another project can give you $ 100 million per annum and still yield you an IRR of 12%
you will want the $ 100 million p.a. project over the $ 1000 p.a. project if you can get it.
there is some thing fundamentally flawed in maths teacher way of looking at things.
Businessman look at the money, follow the money...be direct about it.
I am an engineer by profession. I am a teacher teaching you this accountant on accounting stuff. But no matter how much i teach you, you just don't get it. And yet you still continue to bark here and there, "tearing your own face". Shame on you!
Let me teach you another accounting lesson.
What is IRR of 12% of your Jaks? Is this an expectation or an outcome?
It is just basing on estimation of future cash flows.
What if there is a financial crisis and banks pull back the credit?
What if Dong, the currency of payment, slumps 30% in the future?
What if the cost overrun by 30% for the power plant?
What if the Chinese partner makan you?
What if the inflation rate goes up to 10% a year?
What if the Vietnamese official ask you to pay more money to him, otherwise this cannot, that cannot?
What if risk free rate goes up to more than 10%?
What if the Vietnamese agency refuse to take your power supply or reduce your rate say if there is no demand for the power?
What if this and what if that?
Those are the risks we are talking about!
The outcome of your IRR, instead of 12%, becomes -10%!
What happen to Mudajaya's power plants in India?
Why was there such a delay?
Wasn't their expected IRR also in the teens?
What happen now?
How much money they have lost?
What is their IRR now? negative 20%?
All the things you talk about dynamite investing, panic moment, sailing, take high risk and sure high return are just talking cock!
Where got business sense? You kidding?

"Investing is not about head i drive Rolls Royce, tail I commit suicide." love the quote kc. Investing is about getting the highest return AT THE LOWEST RISK POSSIBLE.
Jin Hou,
That is exactly and precisely true.
Buying good companies at cheap price is one way. Buying good companies has high potential gain. Buying them cheap where got high risk?
Only ignorant people think about high risk high return, like Stockmanny repeating again and again everyday like a broken record.

in stock market, buying turnaround stocks...( Sendai and Jaks ) when it pants out is more lucrative than buying perfect stocks of high NTA and low PE, strong Balance Sheet......the value investor dream stocks.
Let me ask a question, what if the "turnarounds" never turn around?
What is the probability of a company which has no experience in power plant development, but have to rely solely on its partner to execute it and its mercy?
what is the probability that a company which has been losing heavily in the past and recently, with huge order book, turns around with huge profit, also seemingly having huge order book, which justifies its price now?

maths teacher looks down on IRR 12...but maths teacher can tell me what is average annual accounting profits of a US$ 2 billion project with IRR 12% ?
yes, there are business and execution risks ...but annual average accounting profits of a US$ 2 billion project is no laughing matter.
You claimed that you are a 60-year old accountant. Your accounting experience as an accountant must be 40 years, or more?
Isn't that shameful to ask an engineer your question above? Why don't you tell me?
In actual fact, you don't even know how to ask an accounting question.
Let an engineer teach you accountant about accounting stuff again here.
IRR is obtained by your initial cash-in in investing, and your final cash you can get from the project. In between you have more cash ins (more investment outlays), and some cash outs (share of the sale of power). With these periodic cash ins and cash outs, you iterate and obtain an IRR.
The above involves all cash, time value of money, estimations of future cash flows. Everything is CASH. It has nothing to do with accounting profits, as accounting profits has nothing to do with your pocket, unless you can actually take out those "profits" n cash, and pocket them.
Can you take out the RM400m construction profit and distribute to the shareholders of Jaks?
Your question on "what is average annual accounting profits of a US$ 2 billion project with IRR 12%?" is a stupid question from the mouth of an "accountant".
Disregarding the accuracy of the future cash flows projections, the relevant question is "Is an IRR of 12% commensurate with the risks you are taking for a power plant JV in Vietnam?"
Every company has his own what I call "hurdle rate", and every management has his own risk-reward decision. But for me, I would require a risk premium of at least 10% to 15% above the rate of borrowing. I don't expect you to have the same thinking of me.
So accountant, to avoid your self to become a laughing stock in the accounting community, stop asking stupid question, over and over again.

What is so great about 40% gain in Jaks when you keep on buying from RM1.50 to RM1.70+ with your own money?
Is 12% IRR that great for you when you have all the risk? do you know anything about risk and return? I doubt you have any idea at all.

your required rate of return could be subjective compare to the company required rate of return as the company has difference stance? What is the IRR norm for coal-based power plant in Vietnam? I am sure they have done their research prior that. For the risks mentioned, i think the management has addressed well through their meeting with PBB analyst. Of course there are still some assumption but that is what business is afterall.
If I invest in a company, I do not simply accept what the management says. That is my style. No, I do not invest in this company. No, I wrote this to share with people here what I think, not to degrade the company. I like to write and share. I know many do not like me doing so, but I think there are some more mature investors who like to hear the other side of the story to make a better investing decision.
Note management is not the same as shareholders, and they have different interest, although often management wears two hats, but still their interest is not the same as other shareholders. I know this well as I was a corporate guy before.
I present my points here about what construction accounting profit is about, what is the risk free rate in Vietnam, opportunity cost, cost of capital and the various risks involved in the project. It is your duty to evaluate the management is doing the right thing, for you as a minority shareholders. It is not about whether "the management has addressed well through their meeting with PBB analyst". Well, that is what I think, looking at the business sense of it.
If you think your company is taking such a great project with such a great IRR, good on you. Go invest more. Sailang on it. You may soon become very rich.

there is a third IRR which is even higher....remember $ 400 million of the equity actually came fom EPCC? That means the real equity is much smaller, and that translates into an adjusted real equity IRR which is even much much bigger.

LET AN ENGINEER TEACH AN ACCOUNTANT A LITTLE FINANCE. IN A PROJECT FINANCIAL APPRAISAL, THERE IS ONLY ONE IRR. CASH IN, CASH OUT, BEGINNING VALUE, END VALUE, ITERATE THE DISCOUNT RATE TO FORCE THE BEGIN VALUE EQUALS TO THE END VALUE, YOU GET IRR. YOU MAY GET TWO VALUES, BUT ONLY ONE IS CORRECT.
COMPARE YOUR REQUIRED RETURN TO THE IRR. YOU THEN CAN DECIDE IF THE IRR IS GOOD.
YOUR REQUIRED RETURN DEPENDS ON MANY THINGS, COST OF BORROWINGS, BUSINESS RISKS, FINANCIAL RISK, CONFIDENCE OF EARNINGS AND CASH FLOWS ESTIMATES. IN THIS CASE, MANY OTHER RISKS SUCH AS CURRENCY RISKS, POLITICAL RISKS, PARTNERSHIP RISK, ETC.

cheahsk Hi KC, Can you please elaborate a little on the NAV of a portfolio you just mentioned. What does this NAV tell us,how to calculate it and apply to our investment.
I was trying to find out if that "accountant" is really one he claimed to be. alas, he can't even calculate simple compounding.
It was just a test to find out fake accountant, and it works.
A 16.1% in about 4 months will have an annualized return of about 48%. If, only if, the portfolio with that net asset value, NAV, grows by 48% in 30 years, it will grow to RM12.8 billion. That would be the highest return anyone can get in history!
So, what is wrong with my portfolio which returns 16.1% in 4 and a half months?
I am not saying the portfolio can grow at that fantastic rate for 30 years, but the question was posted to someone who bark and bark and claimed that he is an accountant. But can you believe, he can't even compute!
Even if my return so far is just half of that, say 8%, the annualized return would be about 24%. The RM100000 will grow to RM63.5m in 30 years. I would be better than the best long-term return, someone like Walter Schloss.
So "accountant", what is wrong with my return so far?
Why do you need to bark and bark?

No point arguing, why try convince him or to win. Whats the point. Take the time to find new stocks better.
The key thing is to find out if you're right, and if the other person has anything worth saying.
The first point, i think you're quite safe. The second, manmy might occasionally have something worth thinking about here and there, but no need to argue with him.
I am neither trying to convince him (what for?), nor to win (no point as you said). But this snake-oil salesman is getting really too much, ridiculing every person who try to share value investing, non-stop, but without any substantiation. On the other hand, he keeps on PLP. That is ok to me too, but not keeps on ridiculing others, engaging in personal attack.
But you are right, it is really counter-productive engaging him. Sien ah!

so you hope to make money and take no risk ?

No risk no reward is the eternal truth about stock market.
don't let all those salesmen and value investing books con you.
yours is to handle risk, not to avoid risk.
This is another case of "accountant" simply bark here and there.
So did this "accountant" invest in JJPTR? High return,30% a month.
In this type of cases, it is true that high risk high return. But in investing in the equity market, is that always true?
You have repeated this again and again thousand times in i3investor. Where the hell is your substantiation? Was there a single one?
Do you really understand what return is , and what risk is in equity investing?
You don't even know how to do compounding calculation, so how can you understand what return is?
Yes, finance and investment text books say high return comes with high risk. That is generally true when comparing different asset classes; for example equity and bank deposit. But since when you believe in finance text book? What you have is what the hell X files, X films and the like.
Well, for me, I say high return in equity doesn't come with high risk. Instead it is on the contrary. There is a body of research showing that if you do read, instead of bark.
I had even wrote about what this risk and return are 4 years ago in i3investor here,

My personal experience shows that the high returns of my portfolio shown in the link above doesn't come with high risk, whatever measure of risk you are using.
Show us in an article, what the hell you understand about risk and return.
Well, if you don't know,it is actually ok. I don't expect you to know, and I do not expect many here to know, it is ok as everyone has his own skill, but you kept on ridiculing value investor, non-stop, without any substantiation. You really are a troll.

Stockmanny, sorry times up. With more than half an hour, you can't even compute what 100000 will become using compounding. This is a second test that you have failed as a so-called accountant. The first one is computation of enterprise value, remember?
Compounding is very simple maths, though it is a very powerful thing. It doesn't need an accountant to do it. A high school student will be able to do it. In working, a junior accounts clerk can do it easily.
For all this while, you are only doing two things in i3inveor; PLP and talk cock. Almost all of us have great suspicion that you are an accountant as claimed by you. But you haven't shown us any clue that you are close to one.

Whether a portfolio is diversified or not has nothing to do with compounding, "accountant". You don't need an engineer to tell you that, do you?

KC
At attempt to talk about compounding needs a very diversified portfolio. A truly well diversified portfolio such as mine

At least, my portfolio is more qualified to talk about compounding.
First big problem with you of your self-proclaimed "accountant" status is very clear here.
Compounding is about what the value will be if certain sum of money earns a certain return over a period of time. It has no mathematical relationship to portfolio diversification or what not.
Now i am still waiting for your computation of the value of RM100000 compounded over 30 years annualized from a 4 months and two weeks return of 16.1%.
Come on, I am giving you a chance to show us you are really an accountant or not.
Do curi ayam by asking your son to do it for you. It is shameful to do so.

kc calls himself a value investor.
60 year self proclaimed "accountant",
Tell me,what is the problem with a portfolio of 5 value stocks returning 16.1% in less than 4 and a half months?
Let me give this so-called accountant a test.
Can you compute the NAV of this portfolio with RM100,000, getting this annualized return for a period of 30 years? You know value investors invest in this type of value stock for long term.
Come on, show us you are indeed an "accountant" that you know how to do some simple computations.

so what is wrong with value investing with 16% return From Bursa in less than 4 and a half months, investing in value stocks with very little risks of stable earnings and cash flows, healthy balance sheet, and good dividend yield?
Investing is for long-term. If (yes, if only)I can maintain this return consistently with this CAGR for 30 years, I would be one of the top 10 performers in investing in history. So what is wrong with it?
Are you really that bloody shallow in investing? That is incredible!

Since you claim that your roi so high, do you listed as top 30 shareholder in any of listed stock?
So only those who are major shareholders of listed company can share knowledge and experience?
So how many can share in i3investor with your criteria?
So only very rich people can talk?
So all rich people must be respected and those who are not get lost?
Where do you get your education from?

Billionaire Mark Cuban bought a lot of bitcoins at the low.
He didn't need audited accounts for that.
Buying bitcoins need audited account one ah? What kind of account is required, Mr Accountant?

If anyone is interested in dividend of 5-7% better put in EPF which is sure gain and no way can go down and loss money
Asb also a good alternative.<<<
I think you failed to understand KC's article. :-)
3iii, you are right. i also mentioned in the article this,
“In value investing, either you get it, or you don’t”

Bull market time dividend stock is the least favorited and cannot go up
Bear market time dividend stock also need to drop
Talk about value trap by the means of dividend
Haven't I shown you that the share prices of those dividends stocks in this article that they have gone up in the bad market in 2016, and that they continue to go up during the bulls in the first three months of this year?
What value trap you are talking about?
What evidence you have for your statement?

KC, what is your opinion of BPLANT which consistently pays about 8% dividend/year?
I have bought this stock a few months ago and earn good dividend and capital appreciation. Still keep it.

hi kc, thanks for your sharing. readers would benefit more by reading your articles, rather than those hot tips.
i have been following u for the last 3 years. i have a small request. could you do a write up about focus lumber? because it is in your Stock Pick 2017 and we would like to know more about the fundamentals, ROIC etc. thanks again.
have a good weekend.
Glad that you found value in my articles. They are free too here.
Focus Lumber is a magic formula stock, high ROIC and low EY. it is also a good dividend yield stock and good cash flows, and with a clean balance sheet.
It is hence a very safe stock to invest for long-term. It is unlikely to go wrong in your investment.
However, it may not be exciting stock which does not have that kind of fantastic growth prospect due to its business nature.
Blog: A comprehensive guide to trading warrants and call warrants Part 2
2017-06-09 08:02 | Report Abuse
Very good educational article.
Buying company warrant can be considered as investing as one can convert it to mother share whenever he wishes. Hence for me, whether a company is a good company matters.
Call warrant is pure punting in my opinion. I like to do punting to have a little excitement too, but I will never advise anyone to punt, unless you have a little advantage as Jay does, knowing what make up he value of a call warrant.
For punting of call warrant, the quality of a company doesn't matter as much for me, but its price movement in the near future matters more; is its share price going to rise in the near future, after considering everything such as premium, gearing/delta, time to expiry etc.
Note price doesn't equate to value, especially short-term price movement. Call warrant is basically short-term instrument. In US and other matured option markets, call warrant is what they term as option, and options are basically very short-term, and three months expiry or less are very common.
In this respect, good TA may be more important than FA, much more.
