I think prices will no longer move down and even if the qr were to be a little under expectations it might even continue to hold firm or move up. This is because of disappointment with the non release of the qr. All sorts of negative expectations set in consequently.The fact that pxs moved back up to test 28 was a good sign that the stock would at least hold despite the current circumstances.

if frontken has another great quarter then i think it is sizing itself for a run up
the quarter need not be exceptional except as when compared to the corresponding period last year. Look for that and you will be right

why should i worry about that equation when i am looking for earnings only by and large.

eg inari..and insas...would that make insas substantially undervalued and for that be the reason to buy insas?

valuation of frontken is altogher another thing as compared with profits repatriated against a weaker ringgit which will contribute well to frontken.

frontken is a chinese made car driven by a german driver. that's y i got bumped.

today frontcan knocked me from the back. painful lah.

EAH EAT ech 3 blind mice

That's y the stock shot up further.

It is a positive development that they are into something.

UMA is nothing if the company handles it according to the LR. Look at how DBhd handled the UMA. Datasonic18 Feb 2014 after UMA, kept on shooting up...got something. So don't worry too much.

Oh,sorry the stock is EAT = makan. I makan the stock lah

Today I bot at 1.02

Their motto is Fun, Food , Good Living.

I heard this company is very friendly. They call up other companies staff to come a eat their food now and then (maybe market survey) and also come Chinese New Year they throw an open house. I don't know when or for how long. Maybe more than a day. So many pple try the food and like it. I like their stock.

Pxs will go up to encourage taking up drp.

Betw. AGM and payment of div there is still some time to go, maybe a couple of weeks.
My thinking is that the buyer wants to buy as cheap as possible before the div, which is quite natural. Only after having taken the div will prices move, either up or down depending on the state of MBSB.

Retirement Fund Act amendment sees BNM rep removed from Investment Fund --06-04-02015
This is serious! Not the massive loan itself to a losing concern associated with 1MDB once but the handling of the fund in this manner. We could end up paying dearly.

ok thanks

WHen is the 12 cts div? One more month? I know the AGM is coming.

The GST coupled with the weaker ringgit will work more to the benefit of local industries even as it poses a strain on consumer pockets. Essentially a higher portion of a higher income group will be removed to seek more alternatives in the local market or alternatives with higher local content. I expect this 6% to help the Malaysian economy more. There will essentially be less exotic choices but no less choices. This will impact the local banking industry positively.

The weak ringgit will work to the benefit of local products. Expect local cars to do better. Air travel will be more expensive. Etc2.

"MBSB sticks to its plan to be a commercial bank", 17-01-15, Star Online, BizNews should help state again strongly that whether or not there is a merger, the direction Mbsb is moving is the right one.
More than this, there are other info to be drawn from the article which are encouraging.
Also, given its PE is 5+ etc2,it should be viewed that current prices is very reasonable for the investor.
As for the Dow, the fall on Friday came on the news of better jobs data, which as they put it, raises rate fears. I think it is completely not in the interest of the US to raise interest rates at this stage. Interest rates hiking should be further delayed or nominally raised to position the US economy vis-a-vis inflation. It would be exuberant to think that the US economy is steaming ahead though it is slowly getting better apparently.

I like this deal because it would not be as huge as the three party merger. When a Malaysian company gets too big, it gets stuffed all over the place. That's real pressure.

I think this is the real deal.

The first case was a swallowing by a python.The second case is less crunchy. As Zaini said, a lot of matters were put on hold during the course of the tripartite merger nego. That is true. Now, they are picking up where they left as Zaini said.

I offer an alternative perspective. The valuation of Mbsb of the aborted merger was based on different dynamics and parameters for different needs and under different conditions. The valuation could be different with BIMB. WIth this in mind, the impending merger could be more enterprising and interesting.

The news going around this stock is good if anything to go by. Stay.

Careful, kakashii, insider trading. Neway, mbsb is giving final div. not interim and also it is not a bank though it lends out money. Its growth potential lies in its pursuit of being a commercial bank as one of its objectives.

EDGE, current, pg50 : MBSB worth a look on its growth plans.

Slrs should exercise restrain. Mbsb has just come off from an aborted merger plan. Its px came off subsequent to that. It's natural. However, you don't want to sell a stock that has made some good money ( going by what data is available), declared a 10+2 dividend which gives a very good 5.45% DY, offered a DRP ( indicating prospective better pxs for the stock) plus technically a better picture than a couple of weeks ago as well as a very positive assessment by its CEO (theEdge). If at all this stock takes some time to take off it is because the AGM has first to be held. Meanwhile the support at today's level of about 2.20 is encouraging. Should the px break 2.20, frankly one would not know where is the level to buy as the support would shift. There are many 'big' boys out there. 'Big' boy A would not know about big boy B or C or D etc2. So don't worry, stick to your purchase cos' this is as good a stock as they come.

Therefore the expectation is for the stock to rise.

DRP is just a scheme by the company. This is because it has confidence in itself for the future. However, if the stock price is downtrending, then who wants the stock?

Similar to rights. MBSB has to move UP for the DRP to succeed.

Discounted the results

view it as strong backup. that's a plus for this share.
