Told you selling into strength was on 14 Nov 2022, it was at 99.5 sen. Not asking it to break any price, so black hearth white heart has nothing to do here.

So what should we do? Glove manufacturers for sure won't be making profit over next few years until fly-by-night all close shop, PLUS overhanging glove inventories (over stocked by hospital lah) has depleted. I am of the opinion best to leave glove stocks alone till they start to show profit again. Sell into strength and you won't regret.

Fail to plan is plan to fail. Do you want to fail in life after retirement? Do you want to work till you drop dead? Is your retirement plan is realistic and achievable? Don't have a half past six financial planning that will ultimately fail you at the end of the day.

Read this article carefully. Always remember your future money 1 million is amount to nothing when you eventually retire in 20 or 30 years. Act now or you will regret for the rest of your life.

You will be better off if you already have a mortgage free housing, that could really reduce your spending by 15 to 18% of total expenditure. Better still, by the time you retire, you have 1 or 2 more properties.

If you are having 3 properties by the time you retire, sell one and put the proceed into Reits (low risk medium gain), keep one for rental income, last one for own stay.

Why just ask for 7% ROI?
1. It is achievable.
2. For every 10k you earned prior to retirement, you will have to deduct income tax, EPF and set aside some saving (for investment, housing loan etc). Very likely you only spend up to 50% of what you earn for routine expenses.
3. From the 7% passive income, you only spend 5% which is the actual amount you spent prior to retirement.You add the balance 2% to your capital to counter inflation.
4. You may want to replace your car every 8 years. By not spending all the 7% passive income, that 2% may come handy when you are in need.

Rule of Thumb is to have saving equivalent to 120 months of your last month salary (Income). If your last drawn pay is 10k a month, you need to have 1.2 million net of liability.If your last drawn pay is 20k, then you need to have 2.4 million savings when you retire.

Hopefully you can generate 7% return consistently. You spend 5% of ROI, leave additional 2% and add to the balance of your nesteggs.

Purchasing power of future money will not be the same after taking into inflation (very high at present) and the risk of exchange rate fluctuation.

For those who earn 8k a month prior to retirement, if you expect him to live on 8-10k a month, surely he will live a better life after retirement.

For those who earn 50k a month and spending 30k every month, asking him to live on 8-10k budget will drastically lower his quality of life.

So whether having 2 million or 1 million is good enough for to live another 30 years after retirement doesn't make any sense. All boil down to your spending habit and your earning power/saving discipline/ability to generate passive income after retirement.

Also need to factor in inflation/periodic replacement of one off big ticket item like car/long term care/ medical expenses for the old age.

I heve never been Tan SRi Glove enemy, and never been acted like one. Firstly, I just giving my opinion all glove counters not a good buy right now.
Secondly, I just giving my opinion SBB was not really effective as a tool to help its share price.
Thirdly, Tan Sri Glove already wasted a golden opportunity to maximize potential of using windfall profit to grow Top Glove business like YTL.

What is the difference when come to SBB Parkson vs Top Glove?
Parkson started SBB from 6.70 (01.04.2008) all the way to 0.615 (31.01.2017) for whopping rm 2.1 billion.
Top Glove started SBB from 8.00 (04.09.2020) to 6.70 (02.12.2020) with lowest price paid 6.12 (10.09.2020).
Both companies were buying back everyday non-stop, and prices still drifting downwards non-stop.
Why SBB?
Why even with non-stop SBB (created artificial demand) but sellers keep coming?
Who are the sellers?
Why supplies exceed demands?
Simple logic of supply/demand equilibrium and you need not be an economist to understand that!



Note: Parkson has since sold all treasury shares at huge loses even at low of 19 sen. https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/annshrtxn/5657.jsp

It was then past continuous event at the height of the pandemic. At that time Top Glove still flushed with cash. It was the failure not able to make use of the financial muscle to make sound investment like acquiring land and property. YTL was good during earlier financial crisis to acquire so much property in Bukit Bintang from distress owners.
