這種公司，老闆派股息低，不會影響到他，因為，他每年從公司提領的薪資酬勞就已經不得了，就已經可以讓他的生活過得比小股東好太多了。

Thanks for the help! You have very useful experience and knowledge.
By the way, you said "FGV equity-accounts for its results."
How does FGV records its profits when the invested company
generates one? Or, how does FGV recover the cost of investing
in this company in Indonesia?

I have a few questions, could anyone help me?
(1) Is it true that if there are buying only 37% of a company, which they can only state as other investment on their balance sheet. For this, they only make a profit only if that other investment pays a dividend?
(2) At the end of the year, their purchase price is Rupiah800 per share but if the market price of that investment in Indonesia is Rupiah400, do they have to state in their balance sheet the invested amount of the actual market price of the investment?
(3) From question 2, if they have to state at market price, how are they going to account for the difference of Rupiah800-Rupiah400?
Thanks!

Whether running a business, or looking for one to invest in, we too must recognize how powerful low prices can be.
Remember it was just a few weeks ago when we learned Buffett grew its holdings of Wal-Mart by 17% through the first three months of the year. And what does Wal-Mart offer its customers? Products they need at low costs. Or in its words, the opportunity to: "Save money. Live Better."
In his 2007 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, Buffett said businesses need a "moat," to protect them, and "formidable barrier such as a company's being the low-cost producer (GEICO, Costco) or possessing a powerful worldwide brand (Coca-Cola, Gillette, American Express) is essential for sustained success."

After all, it's this low cost lead that has allowed GEICO to watch its policies grow from just 2.5% of the U.S. insurance market when Berkshire fully acquired it in 1995 to more than 10% in 2014. In total, it's increased its policies by nearly $16 billion, from $2.8 billion to $18.6 billion. And one of the biggest reasons behind this growth is its ability to offer the lowest price to customers.

One piece of wisdom she imparted to the generations following her was, "If you have the lowest price, customers will find you at the bottom of a river."

At RM2 something, the dividend is 6 cents per share, what is the yield? 3%! The price maybe is too high now? There is some outbreak of disease in Korea, maybe, this can explain the rise for this few days!

" If CPO manage to return to their record high RM4,000/tonne or even RM5,000/tonne next few years FGV TP until 2020 could be RM 8-10 or more than 4 or 5X current price with their latest acquisitions 13/06/2015 16:16"

This person is smarter than God!

Feel like the eagle is hovering above you!

Everything is so simple, when money depreciating your purchasing power falls, just like Indonesia, their people have to find work in outside countries, in the future we might have "ks55" Malaysia maid working overseas too because of depreciated currency.

We thought the Malaysian government of Najib is invincible and see what these GLC managers did to tarnish his reputation and the country's reputation?

Poor thing! Share price is RM1.86 but IPO price was RM4.50 per share. The company only makes 0.1 cent per quarter, what a joke! But managers are still getting their fat pay cheques. I don't know why the government can tolerate such behaviors without replacing the management. They grow the company business acticities by spending money so that they have a bigger company with more businesses to look like they are working very hard for the rakyat, so that they look more eligible to get higher salaries for running a bigger company. But those businesses just not making money! This is a question of personal greed and integrity and imprudence! Wasting of taxpayers money ruthlessly! The accomplishment of the management so far has been the spending of money to purchases businesses that don't produce adequate rate of return for shareholders who put up the capital, their blood money, we can not tolerate this kind of faudulent behavior!

Without the pump n dump stocks also don't go up or go down. For stocks to go up gives you a chance to sell and for stock to go down gives you the chance to buy. Give some credit to the pumper and dumper also. We are not so innocent ourselves. Just don't follow the crowd when the crowd gets too big you will be fine is my opinion.

What we usually learn from smart people are how to make mistakes?

This article has the good intention of telling people not to invest hastily but exercise patience instead. From my personal experience, I tried to be a dividend investor in Malaysia but so far I think I fail badly. It didnt' work here in Malaysia for a lot of stocks, don't know why? I would give investing in a stock for a period of maximum 5 years when you are planning on buying it. But when there is a chance to sell, I prefer to tell myself to sell instead of holding on. The market here is very fragile, one year up one year down, one month up and one month down, hard to see also? There are always scandals, rumors, economic crisis, and most stocks are beaten down badly since long time ago and haven't recover yet for the majority of them to their higher prices registered 10 years ago!

che212, you just broke my feelings badly.

Did you read my writing for you, the one above and above?

I hate smart people so I told you not to follow the crowd of smart people chasing after one active stock even when the stock is showing sign of drooping off.

I told you not to abandon stupid people and told you to wait because these are the type of stocks that most people thought they are stupid and less actively traded.

I told you to stay impartial on whether smart or stupid stocks considered by other professional especially those without a PHD degree. There is nothing wrong with having a PHD degree, I am proud of you. Of couse, it takes wisdom everywhere to solve problems. Even the Traffic Jam in KL you need to use wisdom to get passed too many cars before going home.

You get flared up so easily...maybe because you are good at "f" people. But I mean stocks, don't get me wrong, I don't divide people the way people appearing to be dividing among themselves so often. I am scared of you already!

Good Luck and Be Happy Always! Don't "f" too much, and hate people for it after that, learn to enjoy it!

Smart people=avoid stocks that are popular momentarily!
Stupid people=look for stocks that are less popular and wait for price increase!
Be neutral==(1)look first, (2)think later---compare with other companies, (3)understand first---find the most competitive company in the sector, (4)wait for good opportunity---market turn sour, (5)before you act---be brave.
To survive and prosper at the same time.
AyamJahat===you have to learn to cherish what you have first, you don't know how to take care of yourself in the first place, that is why you think Jahat to other people is the only way to go (your don't understand yourself basically). Before buying a stock, look not at the price, but the company's contribution whether it is important to people at this moment. This is how company or anyone makes money, by playing roles that other people consider important to them. The answer is not at the balance sheet figures---it all depends on whether what you are doing is important to people or not right now! No free lunch for you and the company!

My suggestion:
If you see smart people, stay away, do something else different than the smart people. If you meet a smart people and you hang around with the smart people,like the stock went down but the volume is big, it is like the rat is trying to hang around with the snake, so who wins? This one you need to stay away.

If you see the stupid people, you don't have to stay away, but you have to wait (like the stock went up but the volume is still small ). You have to wait until you are slightly smarter than the stupid people, that is all, before you can do anything with the stupid people. This one you need to wait.

You are not smart or stupid,that is what you are supposed to be thinking, but you just have to be impartial to tell who is stupid and who is smart.
You are not advisable to act when the stock did not do anything, stay impartial on stock that forever do nothing to improve itself. If it is like that always it will always stay like that: why? Because "It doesn't matter whether a cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice." But they are not going to turn the mice to you!

che212, I totally agree with you, that it doesn't matter whether a cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice. The problem is: not all cat will give you the mice even if the cat is able to catch the mice. What can you do? The cat eat the mice for himself, of course, but it is not going to turn the mice to you? What can you do? Force the director to resign?

Mr. speakup, people are not going to change themselves to suit you. Same like you, you are not going to change yourself to suit others, you are not going to change from muslim to chinese to suit the chinese or the chinese to muslim to suit the muslim, are you ever going to do that or that.

When investing, the company whether is PMCORP is rubbish or not is not important. It depends on what PMCORP wants to do for PMCORP, your job is to find out what PMCORP want to do for PMCORP.

If in your opinion, you can determine what PMCORP wants to do for PMCORP, that is when you decide whether you want to be a shareholder of PMCORP.

As investor, you must first out what PMCORP wants to do for PMCORP, and whether the action of PMCORP is going to be good for PMCORP or not.

PMCORP is not going to give you money just like that, whether PMCORO is rubbish or gabbage.

This is my opinion.

If you are buying trash stock: Just my opinion.
(1) Even if you buy up all the penny stocks also is no use!
(2) Wait for them to publish results first;
(3) Avoid those that has issued huge amount of shares to the public and has not been listed on the stock market for a long time.
(4) Look at the history of the company first, whether they push the shares before or not. Major shareholders got money or not?
(5) Don't buy one like, Tiger, that never go up at all but the volume go up everyday.

You don't have to buy rubbish stock, look at Insas! I hope this is not 101 for you. Life is fair for everyone, it is a matter of choice, live with what you prefer to do. No one has a problem with that, this is what I myself think. If you want to live outside a temple and beg money from people, eat with the gabbash or trash or rubbish go ahead. No body is stopping you is another disciple of basic 101. No need to proclaim you highly level of intelligent to people.

Buy Insas!

You wait until every one go rush to the penny stock section and all the penny stock do well but the good quality stocks suffers price plunge, then you enter the stock market to buy the good quality stocks. Those people who buy penny stock only makes money for one month only. By buying good quality stocks, you are going to make money every year for as long as you live, isn't it a better choice. Let the other people buy penny stock, you wait for good quality stock to fall in price. They enjoy for one month and you enjoy for the rest of your life by only suffer for one month only, this is a bargain hunting tactics most value investor for enjoying the whole of their life is talking about! One bad seed can not spoilt the whole soup. A lot of people, like one of my friend "A", he likes to characterise his whole life experience from a single incidence or a mistake that happens to him, and make future judgment that affects his own life based on that short term views or just from the experience he gets from one incidence to make decision for a person's fate in the whole life. one bad thing or one good thing can not affect your whole life, you have to consistently doing the right things to win in life is my opinion.

If this stock is so good, the edge boss would have buy all the shares and keep the good news for himself. You are posting this kind of post to hurt people, why he gives you money or what? Take from the poor to give to the rich to make yourself richer. Ya, this is an old trick! What you can see is definitely price and what you can not see is definitely value in the stock market. So obvious for you to see, does the edge boss ever give free services to people on the stock market, never, right! Now, he is giving you free lunch on the stock market, possible or not? He is probably going to give you a free education that is going to cost you but not him?

I know I have a lot of friends on i3 forum that we agree on most things, but in this forum right now, I think I agree with Ong Mali on this one. The logic is if you bury some rubbish into the soil, it will take 50 years to turn into crude oil that are of value, this transformation process takes time. It is not that trash or rubbish are worthless, it just takes too long for your dream to materialize. I believe if you trade with trash or rubbish stocks,your mindset probably should be, (1)you may have to keep the rubbish or trash locked up inside your safe-deposit at home for at least 5 years and(2)under the assumption that you are doing properly by buying the right kind of stocks to keep.

(1) If you are doing short term-it is better to look for good quality stock that has fallen slightly in price temporary. Think for yourself, do less stocks, but better quality ones if you are doing short term.

(2) A sick person and a stronger person, who is going to run faster right now (in short term). It is in the future that we don't know, whether the sick person or the stronger person who is actually going to run faster. But right now, I am pretty sure the stronger person will run faster than the sick person.

(3)I agree with Ong Mali is because if you are doing long-term then buy trash stocks (like steel stocks) but if you are doing short term, please don't go and buy one that you don't know how long the stock is going to live (you don't know what is going to happen in the future).

(4) Don't do bad things for money, there will be retribution in the end.

(5)Everyone gets a fair trial only in the future, not right now! Don't be complacent that you can escape the fair trial in the future. You are not going to plant APPLE AND GET AN ORANGE IN THE FUTURE. TRUST ME, THIS IS A FACT THAT IS VERY TRUE FOR A LONG TIME ALREADY.

John: fear (Buffett)and angry (mine) is the same. In quote 2 of Warren Buffett, what is the mistake of the stupid duck he was trying to point out, do you know?
It is a common mistake: we are either thinking we are damp good ourselves or that we are fear (afraid) to ask question. The duck didn't ask question, john, either, the duck is thinking he is damp good or he is afraid to ask question when he sees that his thinking ( or situation or position)is different than other people. ok!That is why the duck later on become the roasted duck! You see, Warren Buffett's ingenuity from here?

john, to apologize for my idiotic comments and disrespectful and unthoughtful for others' feelings, I am going to reveal to you. I am going to tell you how to be happy in life and be prosperous later on.
Step 1: You must not live for yourself (貪) and at the same time you must not live for others (嗔), this is an important mistake that most people make in life (癡). How to avoid being greedy, fear and folly? Make this your first goal in investment, this is how the master do it and this is his first few quote from the Internet. I have a quote from Warren Buffett: 1. "Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1"

2. "In a bull market, one must avoid the error of the preening duck that quacks boastfully after a torrential rainstorm, thinking that its paddling skills have caused it to rise in the world. A right-thinking duck would instead compare its position after the downpour to that of the other ducks on the pond."

3. "The fact that people will be full of greed, fear or folly is predictable. The sequence is not predictable."

4. "Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful."

My version:
(1)Look for something small to you to do: you must protect yourself even in small areas, be very particular even on really small and minute details.
(2)You should not think you are better than your competitor in any time of your life and underestimate them. Look for your own mistakes and not others or else you will be angry with other people later on.
(3)The same sequence I mentioned to you.
(4)Do not be afraid to confront trouble. Act only when there is a trouble, you need to become not afraid of trouble in order to avoid future trouble.
(不要怕現在的麻煩你將來才不會有麻煩). That is why mistake is inevitable!

The rest you have to help yourself.

john, you are very young is a good thing cos' I wish I am that young too---but i still go dancing and flirting with girls when I have the time. Let me give you an idea what I am doing: have you heard of the chinese saying "知錯能改", I borrow the idea from there. Only that you know what the mistake is then you know how to change right. This is why they said successful people are not afraid of making mistake. And if you hasn't made a mistake, how do you know how to change. Without changing there is no learning of anything at all. Without learning how can you have the knowledge to know what kind of change you need, and no change of couse no growth and increase in potential now and later on. I am writing this just to encourage you that mistake is inevitable, this is part of growing up, that is all. Tell you Mom, I say hi, I live in KL, does she want to learn computing or computer games?

I give up on this company. With 937 million shares issued it can only make about 59 million net profit for the whole period of the last financial reporting year. One small company, that has not been listed for that long, Sarawak Plantation, from the same place, the company only issues 280 million shares to the public and this company can make 60.885 million net profit in the same financial reporting year. Now you know why all the Tycoon are so rich. This is a company that make use of the public to make money for themselves, the tycoon only hold 20% of company shares and this company only pay like 1 or 2 cents as dividends to the public. Can you imagine, they both has roughly same amount of plantations, but this company is also involve in other businesses that they claim they are the best in the world. See, for yourself, and think for yourself, don't need to waste time here is my opinion. This is called fundamental analysis, you compare the company with another company in the same sector, to know what is going on. See so easy! That is why I told KYY (My response to comments - Koon Yew Yin Koon Yew Yin's Blog) , he definitely is a speculator, he definitely did not do research at all!

Even warren buffett has sold all his shares in Exon Mobile, the second largest oil company in the world, isn't this a very good company but he still sells out on the industry. How does anyone think that the o&g will still recover. I rather trust the oraca of omaha on this. You can't change trouble that is caused by the environment that you are in because you don't own the environment, you can only change your own mistake. stay-away from o&g sector is my choice only?

Insas stock price has been trading between 50 cents to 1 dollar since 30 years ago. I do not know whether the share price is going to repeat this trend or not: trading between 0.50 to 1.00 in the next 30 years. Hard to tell, even though after 30 years, all their businesses are really small in size, even though there are quite a few of them, this is unpredictable for many people including me. If you are holding this stock for long term investment, you may be riding not on a not very fast horse.

Ayamtua, bro, the stock market is not so interesting today. But I am more interested in your writing. So, I am just writing for fun. we are using emotion in seeking both growth and potentiality and that growth is subjective...and...this got me thinking......Of couse growth is subjective to many factors such as sunlight, fertilizers, and milk powder so growth is subjective for a plant. But I haven't heard about growth that is permanent for a human being that is subjected first to emotions. In my opinion, actually growth for a person is not subjective but potential is (the aspect of doing things)is based on growth (our own potential (ability) now and whether it would increase the potential (ability) some more in the future). For a person, not plant, potential is subjective, and you need to know that potential is subjected to growth for a human being. Without past growth, how can you have the potential now to day anything in the first place? Learning comes before growth for a person, and change comes before learning, and mistake comes before learning and so on. All together the human cycle has 5 stages: (1) Mistake (2) Learning (3)Change (4)Growth (5)Potential. and (6) is what others in your life think of you, your reputation and composure. Thanks for sharing on previous post.

Of all consumer goods, like soybean and vegetable oils, need land to plant them and all the additional incredients, they all will go up in price because of inflation. When soybean becomes expensive, palm oil will benefit too because it is cheaper.

It is not the crop that is influenced by inflation directly. It is the cost of land, fertilizer, wages that are going up eventually that will make the palm oil price go up. The company has a lot of land acquired long time ago at cheap price so in a good position to benefit from inflation rise!

Inflation--- sugar, flour, milk power, water, electricity, and everything else all went up in price. How could it be that the price of palm oil will not go up eventually considering our neighbor and us are the only planters in the world. How come commodity price not predictable but I think inflation is predictable. I am sure it can not surely go back to old days when it was RM$800 per tonne or even RM$250 per tonne, long time ago, can you believe it, now is RM$2300. At least history means something to me, I pay money to go to school to learn, so I learn history properly I know based on history, inflation is predictable and always going up.

This is a good company! Like it! Price currently at the lowest point in the last 5 years due to flooding and flooding don't happen every year. Time to accumulate is only my most humble prediction.

I build portfolio, my shares kept for long time, I sell a portion whenever I want to buy some other quantity of shares. I don't trade everyday. I have good emotions everyday, I am also an electrical engineer. I also have a lot of things to do like going out to dance, drink, find girl friends, singing and etc. What a good life! I am seriously thinking of buying JTiasa now, think it is a good buy. Got support at 1.80 (see the one year-graph on bursa website), it is building the "second" leg right now.

The owner and the person or syndicate that push the shares are different. The person or syndicate they like to choose this kind of company, the company with rich boss but company share price is beaten down so their cost of purchase is low. They slowly collect over a period of time, rich man stock will not go bankrupt, price is low. This is the kind the stock people like KYY or the syndicate like to choose to push later on and there are a lot of shares floating on the market too so that the boss usually don't care about how the shares are doing at all because the boss is already very rich. This gives the people like KYY and his syndicate a chance to repeat their trick over and over again. Buy in now! Take revenge, this time, they push up, we sell to them!

Now is actually the time to buy JTiasa because the price has been beaten down. Maybe also Mudajarya, because the prices are beaten down. No down, they belong to rich people company, because now is a good time to collect! They will not go bankrupt. If you are interested now is the time to collect JTiasa, Mudarya, because nobody becomes interested after KYY espisode so they can collect back the share again. Then he repeat the cycle, this time he will tell you, I told you to buy, why didn't you act. You see, or you have no patient. I am not sure about other stock, but JTiasa is a good buy at this current price! Keep for 5 years can make 50%! Now is the time to look for beaten down stocks with rich parent! Not the highly expensive stock!

總結:教育(謝謝KYY和我的老師們)i.(付給社會的學費)是全世界最貴的投資。
KYY和我的老師們，你們根本就沒有辦法改變這個社會的環境，所以你們就想到一個"方法":裝聖人。
你告訴別人，你們這些有錢人都會拿錢來做善事，讓那些無知善良的人上當，然後你在教它們一個"辦法"，你說這樣才可以幫助它們脫離，他們的經濟束腹，為了讓他們想信你們，你們就告訴他們，你過去也是靠這樣變成有錢人的。天下們有白吃的晚餐，它們要成功，他們必須要這樣的靠自己。你叫他門買進的股票，你隨後就賣出，你套利他們套牢，你們在快樂地拿一點錢去做善事，把自己的屁股擦乾淨。裝聖人,你成功他們失敗,你為什莫要介紹公司業績下滑的股票叫別人買進,你只是要把自己的快樂建築在別人的痛苦身上,最後別人怪你們就們就假裝老羞成怒,這樣你才可以再從新的欺騙別人,你們是不是還要欺騙那些沒有經驗只是想賺點菜錢的人第二次呢? 這樣做會部會太過分,耗子裡假慈悲,你們自己要小心一點囉!

Good morning Bsngpg:
(1)You never mentioned me, I am jeolous, you said you like lenglui because you thought I am not on your side. Actually, I normally don't choose side, but I always choose to be on your side because I want to change the world around you and me but the world is not important without you, have you realized that: there is no need to change the world without you. Even though you said different things or I said different things, I still think we are still on the same side because I just don't want to live in the world without you.

(2)现代中国富起来了，也间接带来劣文化=仇富。
靓女，妳有察觉吗？我當然有察觉，我的心，對你，從來都沒有改變過，因為我不能夠，把你當成，從來都沒有發生過在我身上的事情，這不是激情，而是，真實的我，靓女，妳有感受到吗？如果"想你"的代價，就只是這樣，那末，"想你"就只是我的藉口。其實，
靓女，不是時間不會等人，而是，世界上的人不會等人。
靓女，不是我不想跟你在一起，而是，世界上的時間不會因為我們而改變。
我只是請大家要先惜福，靓女，智慧是要從惜福以後才能夠產生的!
我永遠都會站在你這邊，靓女，請你要相信我，我只是要幫助這個社會進步，我們的人生跟所有的人，生活才會更有價值，你會不會錯解我的意識，這跟金錢那裏有關係?我就是為了你，才要去改變這個世界的產品，讓你生活得更有意義更健康，難道這也有錯嗎.我不會埋怨你，因為你跟別人不同，你比別人都比較重要，請你珍重你自己一點好嗎?

(3)Sunztzhe "What one says or says on insult is a reflection on oneself...one got to move beyond emotions...emotions will get one no where...."
所有事情都跟別人沒有關係，你會不會像這位孫子講的，一卻的錯誤都是因為你自己反應過度?

"sunztzhe Commodity prices are low at the moment...Just like the low n high tide...given time low tide will make way for the high tide....when?? ...it's a good question that only time will give the answer... So one maybe right now n may choose to exercise ones option to insult but it is merely a relative right at this point in time..."

I disagree with you. You are too simple minded and slightly naive.

To illustrate what I meant by no every man and every woman are not the same. That is why we all pick different wives and every woman picks different man to be with them.

The world is getting richer, peoples' taste and standard are higher now. They don't want to always consume palm oil forever. They want better quality products. It is not that commodities are going to do badly, it is just that you have to select which commodities are going to do well in the future.

There is a big different between soybean oil and palm oil, you get it, there is a big different between you and Ayamtua. Other people have wisdom prefer Ayamtua that is why you are always left on the bench. Ayamtua has girls to go out with but the girls just doesn't simply have to like you because you are a man and you have sperms.

You get it! They want better quality man like Ayamtua. They don't want some high colestrero man like you, you get it. People are getting richer and their expectations are higher now than what you think they are. you get it now suntztzhe!






You are

Everyone please remember not to call others a bitch especially a woman because this is where you crawl out from that you should not make fun of it! I hope those who label others as idots and tell them to stop bitching be aware of that.

You think those who complain are bitch! Is this how you regard woman. So, you never see a woman complain to a man. Is your mother a woman? This is your complacency. I leave you. Good for nothing but talk big only! We are indirectly saying that we all complain because we all are woman. You have no respect for woman and you look down on woman. Do you know sunztzhe, where did you first crawl out, when you are born? How can you exist do you know? The anwswer is from a woman's tremendous display of emotions and the spontaneious display of emotions by both parties and the cool methodical technical love play by both parties that unlock and unleases the hidden reserves of emotional energy. This is the process of how you come about, you understand now?

hmmm...just like to seek brotherly experienced advise on what do yo think will evoke tremendous display of emotions from a woman during love making..Is it spontaneous display of emotions by both parties or cool methodical technical love play by both parties that unlock and unleashes the hidden reserves of emotional energy???
You are a joker? I am sure Ayamtua doesn't have an answer for you. Every woman and every man are different everywhere, including their technique, their weapons, their power, their appearance, and everything they have, and even their wives are different. You think all women are the same and all men are the same. Common, the sunztzhe actually has better standard than that!

Very few can see the big picture that The world economy is indeed heading
This is not personal attack: I totally disagreed with you that we are moving towards better times....cheap oil, cheap gas, cheap commodities, benign low interest rates will be the catalyst.
I hope this is helpful: Your are making several mistakes
(1)Stay invested in equities: You become complacent and affecting your judgment.
(2)Which equity to invest? You don't care to spend time looking more carefully for quality stock. Time is not of essence to you anymore.
(3)It depends on your risk profile...you can be an aggressive competent trader or be a competent value investor. You think stock investing is a game.
(4) Whatever the decision that you take, take full responsibility n be wholly accountable for your decision. No wisdom how can we be sure we are able to take full responsibility for our actions.
(5)I think you should stay on the sideline this year because you are not seeing the problems we are facing in this country in the world. You are walking inside the fog.

Why? The actual sunztzhe knows that in life we are constantly face with making changes and improvements for two big reasons and what are the reasons. You are just so human, you forget how to be careful, and how can you have the right mind to fight on the battlefield. You are start thinking that life ahead has no problem before you even go to the battlefield. And life is just a bunch of formulas so that life is always predictable?

Is this what the sunztzhe of 5000 years ago taught. He should go to a war thinking that you are heading into an opportunity. This is KYY mistake and is yours?

We wasted so much of our time telling you to becareful with what you are doing? And you just not listening at all? Life is not a bunch of formulas, it is a new page everyday. Everyday will be different, how can one predict that opportunity must surely lies ahead. NO Free Lunch In Life, Uncle!

Mr. Kcchong, you are right about what you say about reits and I agree with you:

"For me if I want to invest in property related investment, I prefer some undervalued property stocks and there are some in Bursa. I don't see any Reit is undervalued. May be I never explore them."

The reits, they mostly pay out everything they earn as dividends, there are no garantee that they will grow in value because of hyper-inflation.

In US, it will become hyper-inflation because of productivity and efficiency when interest rate can not go up fast enough, not because of real-estate, but we are not sure about malaysia---to me the real estate prices in Malaysia right now are hyper-inflation already.

Warren Buffett stresses low-cost index fund, this is because the index fund don't have physical shape (low cost to maintain in times of inflation)and surely increase in value over time because of hyper-inflation and also productivity (money grows)of a country.

It is like buying gold and houses, it has no productivity at all. It has to have productivity or else it has no value what so ever! Not just low cost. If the country is poorer, a lot of gold, also no use, you see, where do they have the money to buy gold from you and the price of gold will not go up because they are poorer (less productive and earn less money).

Let us all talk happy things only. My prediction is this year is not going to be very smooth ride for those investing in stock market. Next Year 2016 will surely better than this year if price of oil and palm oil were to go up. Even the government has headache this year? Cannot change environment factors. But the world economies in general are improving but some what moderating. Buy quality stocks---those that serve customer needs (easy to find customers) and are easy to produce (low cost producer). Stop speculating! If we are going to have problems with the financial system, the prices fall, I think bank stocks are good for investment for long term. Buy Quality Stocks! Think longer term, like at least 1 year instead of just a few months!

CME-the government has budget constraint, the company is funded by RCULS, they have a property revaluation exercise (doing this to increase profit), and cash in hand is negative after subtracting fixed deposit. This company is struggling is my opinion and obviously it is not a buy for me.

GLOTEC-Issue a huge amount of shares to acquire assets from IPO. Small company not well developed yet. They have low debts but their retained earnings and reserve are (negative readings), this shows that they are not putting the IPO proceeds into proper use or proper place. Major shareholders controls 30% of shares. This business depends on precision engineering which is downhill industry.

Pworth-issue warrents in 2011 because the company short of money for development. It is speculative. IPO is RM1.30 and right now is RM0.18. Good or bad company is understandable!

ESCERAM-the ceramic compay is the best in terms of financial standing but it has very high depreciation and amortization charges. Furthermore, it only earns 1 or 2 cents per share per year. Didn't pay dividends at all and I believe some shareholders are selling shares occasionally, maybe this is how they get extra money!

Why are they investable?

AyamTua, you gave better suggestions today, they make me laugh until I want to cry. But I will look at CME, GLOTEC, PWORTH and ESCERAM.. Which one is better to invest, can you rank them, let us start doing something sensible and logical from now onwards so we can celebrate later on in the next new year. I promise, I will use your suggestions as suggestions only but my own anlysis with my own time and risk, can you rank them, this is to save time for me? Based on your nobel intention and confident in them?
