yes, lioncity, I remember about a week or two ago, nearly everyone here was cursing this stock, but now just because the price trend up, everything is good and sunny again. Lmao.

what GE? are we confirmed having a GE this year?

actually, the minister can force the issue by invoking the provisions of the WSIA 2006; I just don't know why the Federal govt is not making use of that option to move the deal to an early conclusion.

patience keyin, this stock will recover in the run up to the Oct 5th meeting.

up one day, down the next, Gent's price has got nothing to do with fundamentals but with what the cooks desire. it's best to sell this share and invest your funds elsewhere. The playing field is totally biased against the retail investors.

why sell now when the qr results are coming out soon? VS could still surprise on the upside. after all, there is still a dividend to be received when the qr is announced.

pls understand that the s'gor mb cannot on his own stop the deal if the Federal govt invokes certain provisions of the Water Services Industry Act 2006 to force the deal through. So it is really not up to the s'gor mb.

next market day is already Sep and with the Oct 5th meeting looming, activity in this counter will start hotting up as a settlement on the splash purchase is long overdue. Moreover if it drags on further, the relevant Act that apples can be invoked to force a settlement. There is no need for Pakatan to lose Selangor as the Federal govt can use the statutes to force a solution if it so wishes. Wednesday's closing 5 sen gain is an indicator of better days in Sep leading to the Oct meeting. Sit tight and wait for a bountiful harvest.

whole market also drop, don't worry, mikromb is a good stock with lots of potential. Only thing is, how long do you want to hold it for?

like nekosong, traderman also like an empty barrel, no action, talk only because all he has are words, and words can't buy any shares in VS even if VS falls to 1.30. What a pitiful characcter.

network expansion already bringing in diminishing returns and diseconomies of scale. GP margin down to 34% this June qr. Even tho' caused by stock write-offs, this is not a one-off event. Padini's revenues already >rm1 billion and to sustain this kind of revenues and to support the large network of stores, purchases will have to be high and since you cannot always sell all stocks at the first prices, markdowns and write-offs are part and parcel of the retail trade and will get increasingly larger in time to come.

what's the point? very hard to make money from this stock, very illiquid with very thin trading. better put your money elsewhere.

I think nekosong didn't learn english properly and he thinks sell means buy, and that down means up.

when price come down, all talk nonsense and start cursing and swearing, when price went up previously from 40 sen to > 60 sen, everyone praise to high heaven. Eh dudes, if cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

slow week

GP margin fell badly yoy and qoq. Based on full year unaudited results, PE is already in the high teens. Approach with caution. Selling stocks that are written off will also incur selling and other incidental expenses and the main purpose is just to recover some of the original costs.

TehKK, I know that the ED is part of senior management but what I and you don't know is what this ED's financial position is. For all we know, he might be selling to buy a larger house or to finance his kids' overseas education or maybe buy a Ferrari even, who knows? Maybe he needs to repay the loans he took to finance his ESOS purchases. My point is that we should not read too much into the director's sale of his shares, especially if he is just an employee of the company, but instead pay more attention to the fundamentals and the potential of the company. Question here is, do you have confidence in VS? If not, then sell.

Gent 1H results so kuat and with 8.5 sen surprise dividend, and a lot of potential going forward, price still drop, wtf?

those without holding power are the ones complaining; my advice is never to play contra with money you cannot afford to lose because if things turn sideways, you are going to be in a lot of pain. Dnex is a well regarded company with much potential, only thing is can you hold and still continue with your current lifestyle. These 2 days, t3 and t4 players are losing their money, and next week will be a 3 day trading week and the market will not be moving much too, and dnex may remain flat or worse trend lower. But for those who can tahan, pasti ada durian runtuh.

the director who is selling is an executive director and he is not related to the majority owners. He probably wanted to take some money off the table for personal reasons. The founder Dato Beh, together with his wife and brothers-in-law are not the ones selling although there are transfers of the shares among themselves. Pls read and check b4 panicking. BTW, the last qr announcement indicated that the company had reserves that > rm660 million and so if they wanted to do a bonus issue, there won't be much of a problem. However, that does not mean that a bonus issue is being planned.

i agree sniper. KT Lim very stingy but this time surprised everyone I guess.

what a surprise! I must say I misjudged Gent's BOD entirely; an 8.5 sen interim dividend, what a pleasant surprise; and with 1H PAT more that double yoy, the share price should trend higher starting tomorrow.

good management I mean, xd.

bonus or not, this is a good stock to buy and hold. Price go up gradually and with dividends too. Strong fundamentals and food management.

today is losses for contra players, tomorrow also very likely to be the same. Cannot win all the time.

Genting now not like b4 with Tan Sri Lim GT in charge; nowadays damn tight-fisted and stingy.

VS slowly but surely up. So sorry for nekosan, not enough money to trade, just go around the forums acting like a lunatic talking to himself about how he will buy like mad when prices drop to super low levels. Really pathetic and pitiful.

they have to get the price to go beyond 3.05 if that is the plan since a 5 sen dividend is already assured if shareholders wait. And selling in the market involves costs which accepting the offer doesn't. An attractive price should be at least around 3.10.

Gent is not going to give dividends this time around, confirmed.

today and tomorrow will see the contra t3 and t4 kakis unload the buys made on Monday and Tuesday so the price will still be sticky; next week will see the stock trend upward again. To those with holding power, profits. To those who have to cut loss and force sell, win some, lose some. And to those who keep harping that the recently announced qr results are bad, stop being an idiot or be jealous just because you don't have the money to trade and make profits. Your karma must be bad and you sure as hell deserved that. Lmao.

I am in total agreement with jimmieprince. Fortune favours the brave. Don't be like some who keep on encouraging people to sell and give all sorts of gibberish and baseless comments; these types are those who have no money to trade and are jealous of people making money.

TA research also has a buy call with TP at 76sen; so don't trust also ah?

husky88, the splash deal meet-up is scheduled for 5th Oct 2017, just be patient. Tabung haji, a >7% substantial shareholder just added more yesterday and probably today too. They are so confident even though the price is dropping, so they probably know that a solution is in sight and that the durians will be falling soon. Chill.

assuming a 1 for 4 bonus is really announced, at 2.30, the post bonus price should still be higher than 1.80 and no way neko is going to get it at 1.60. Of course he can dream or smoke weed and imagine the price is at 1.60 and that he is buying like mad. LMAO

who knows, IrisTan? the minority may be too exhausted to dance any longer and they will just take the lousy price offered by the cheapskate buyer so that they can move on with their lives.

what bad news, what poor qr results? Please read the qr announcement carefully and understand what is being stated. Don't simply spout gibberish about the price going to fall badly. Find out all you can about the fundamentals of the company before jumping in so that short term price fluctuations will not scare you into knee-jerk selling. Of course if you want contra gains, that's another story because at the end of the day, you must still have the funds to take up the shares and hold for some time; otherwise, take the contra loss.

what recession? Pls show your research and don't just quote some half past six nonsense from another unreliable source.

0.5 sen means half a sen. 1000 shares get rm5 as dividend.

Fortune favours the brave. Those who panic at the slightest pinch and run around like headless chickens screaming that the sky is falling without looking at the company's fundamentals in detail will never be able to make big money. But then again, if we don't have these headless chickens running around unloading their shares at the first perceived sign of negativity, there will be no cheap shares to buy and profit from.

only 5 sen dividend; I thought that they will declare a higher amount with such good profits and make the rm3 offer price at least more attractive. Bloody cheapskate.

those who just simply react based on a glance at the headline results without reading the reports carefully, and who are too lazy to do proper research will be the ones who will panic unnecessarily and who will end up making losses or losing good opportunities to make money. i firmly believe that tomorrow the counter will trend higher.

sell the stock already and put your money on dnex much better. At rm9.73, 1k genting shares can buy more than 18000 dnex shares; dnex up 1sen also make more than rm100 net. Genting want to make rm100 with 1000k shares, the price must rise by at least more than 15sen. Nowadays how often you see Gent rise by more than 15 sen a day? today up 7 sen during the day but then finally also laosai back to 9.73. I already stated this before, dark forces are in control here. Don't waste time with this shit counter.

got dividend or not? tired of waiting. The BOD of IGB still haven't made their decision on the offer, moving like a bunch of doddering old men until the snail also moves faster.

nekosan is dreaming and he is richer than bill gates and warren buffet put together in his dream and he is using his wealth to push the price of VS to 1.60 so that he can then buy like mad. What a loser. Hahahahaha

don't worry guys, the analysts who have attended the briefings are still having a buy call with TP between 1.73 and 1.77. Once the water deal is complete and a clear picture emerges about the scheme of repayment, the price will rise. Just sit tight and wait for the durians to drop. Entering Sep 17, sunny days will be here again.

Institutional funds do not usually trade in WA, that is why the mother rises faster because the demand comes from a larger pool of buyers with more money to buy. Trading in WA mostly confined to retailers.

55 sen should be the price to reflect the company's potential. I am not selling for anything less than that

buy more pmetal if price dips on market weakness and keep for another 6 months after that. sure untung.

For this realised forex losses were at rm18.8+ million, while the realised loss on derivatives amounted to rm112.45 million before netting off an unrealised gain on forex of rm8.733 million. Question is why such hefty forex losses? Was this from the hedging or what? Please refer to page16 of the notes.

this qr's y-o-y performance has improved significantly both from revenues and PAT standpoint, if the previous qr's insurance claim received was excluded. Only the q-o-q is disappointing considering that revenues rose > 31% but PAT only rose 5.9%; this means that operating expenses for this qr has increased quite significantly over those of the previous qr. Perhaps someone can shed some light on this. The "other operating expenses" for this qr of rm103 million is of concern and it is a pity that the announcement did not provide further details on this.
