Just follow what the big boss has been doing and you are unlikely to go wrong.

Just wait for the counter to trade ex-div in another 3 weeks. With first quarter earnings at 4.8 sen per share and a dividend yield of 3%, you can't find another property counter with such a low valuation.

Keeps losing money for years. NTA has dropped to 11 sen. Lost over RM 100 million in the latest quarter. Very high chance of falling below its recent low of 14 sen. This counter is not worth a look. Should be avoided for a long, long time.

leslie, actually I had already disposed several thousand KSeng shares after the announcement of its 1 quarter financial results but only to buy most of the shares back again after it had dropped by about 30 sen because I still had high hopes for the company. Not this time. The management should have compensated poor results with a much improved dividend in order to support KSeng's share price but this failed to materialize. There is no reason for KSeng's share to go up now. I might be wrong.

Sold about half of my KSeng shares yesterday and this morning. Will look at this counter again after it has dropped to around RM 5.80.

L&G's earnings for the last 12 months (1/7/13 to 30/6/14) came up to 15.6 sen per share. So it is currently being traded at a PE of just over 4. You won't find another property counter trading at such a low PE. Hopefully, the 2 sen dividend would give its price a boost tomorrow.

The management consists of a group of rich people and they don't need any dividend. Only poor small investors like us long for some dividend. If not because of its cash pile of almost RM 1 billion and a multitude of other assets, Keck Seng is worth only around RM 3.

steveooikp, the final dividend is 2 sen per share or 10% (L&G's par value is 20 sen). Are you not aware that starting this year, all dividend paid to shareholders must be net dividend?

Likely to drop to RM 6 within the next few days. 4c just isn't attractive enough.

If it can drop back to RM 5, that will be fantastic.

Some of Keck Seng's plantation land had been acquired by the Government in 2006 to make way for the Senai Desaru highway. The compensation was about RM 260,000/- per acre or RM 6/sq.ft.

Less than 2 weeks from the announcement of a 2 sen net dividend. It won't go very wrong to buy at 64 sen now.

Only a hyper bull run will propel Karambunai's share price to above RM1.

62 sen would be a bargain.

Looks like a real one this time.

Someone has been collecting this counter for the past 2 months.

Invest in Keck Seng only if you are prepared to take a long term view. Land in Johor Bahru is getting more and more scarce and expensive and Keck Seng is one of the largest landowners there. Hopefully the latest quarterly results and interim dividend to be announced later this month will give its share price a big boost.

This counter hasn't closed above 10 sen a share for more than a year now. It used to change hands at over 20 sen a share about 3 years ago. Syndicates may decide to act suddenly one fine day and catch everybody by surprise. You can never predict.

Probably speculation as to what the company is going to do with its RM 150 million cash.

ykloh, I think it is unfair to label the management as disgracefully incompetent. The management did make a wise decision to dispose of its shares in Parkway Holdings 4 years ago and made a huge profit. Any investor who had bought Keck Seng shares in early 2010 and held till today would have returned a capital gain of over 20% per year compounded over the past 4.5 years. And this doesn't take into account the dividend that had been paid and notwithstanding an almost 20% drop from its peak achieved about 8 months ago. Keck Seng's management isn't incompetent, just too conservative and not proactive enough.

Which sifu were you referring to? Certainly not saturny. May be prudentinvestor?

With so much hype on L&G over the past few weeks, I am surprised that there is still no significant breakthrough in L&G's share price. Hopefully investors don't have to wait for long before L&G touches 70 sen a share.

Keck Seng's directors/major share holders and their associates together already hold more than 60% of Keck Seng's share capital. If you want to take over Keck Seng, you probably would need to offer them over RM 25 a share before they decide to part with their holdings. It is wise of them to keep Keck Seng at this level so that should they want to privatize the company, they don't have to fork out too much money to pay the small investors. May be Keck Seng's cash reserve is already sufficient.

TA's share price went up due to improved earnings, from under 5 sen per share for financial year ending 31/1/2013 to over 8 sen per share for financial year ending 31/1/2014. Its earnings improved further during the first quarter of financial year ending 31/1/2015. Many other counters have performed even better. DKSH went up from RM 2 to over RM 9 (now RM 7.6) in less than 3 years, Inari went up from 70 sen to over RM 3 in 18 months, Seal went up from 50 sen to over RM 1.40 in less than 9 months.

EcoWorld would be a ready buyer of Keck Seng's plantation land next to Taman Kota Masai when its land is depleted within the next few years.

Very high chance to reach 60 sen in the next few days. Hasn't traded above 60 sen for almost 3 months.

The interim dividend to be announced next month is unlikely to exceed 5 sen per share. If the company just maintains its total dividend payout at 10 to 12 sen a year, not many investors will be interested to buy this counter. Keck Seng has sufficient properties like Menara Keck Seng and Regency tower in Malaysia and hotels in Toronto and Hawaii to launch a REIT.

Holding up very well despite poor market sentiment. Good chance for another rally again after consolidation is over. This is to be expected after being heavily transacted over the past few days.

Hope to buy some at 56 sen tomorrow.

roywong, Don't worry, the 2 sen dividend is on. It should be officially announced when the company calls for its AGM.

The special dividend amounting to 48 sen a share is a possibility only if TA disposes of its brokerage arm, it is not a certainly. The company may decide to keep the proceeds or just declare a portion of it to make investors happy. Nobody knows what the directors are going to do.

Win Win, the company receives 13 sen first, then gives out 2 sen. Still keeps 11 sen.

Cannot be no project. Existing project still going on. The Edge's reporter is very poor in Maths. L&G made 12.77 sen last year but has proposed a dividend of only 2 sen or just over 15% of total earnings.

There could be another speculative play towards the end of next month just before Keck Seng announces its second quarter financial result and interim dividend.

The rise is quite orderly, just a few sen per day. Hopefully TA's price rally is sustainable.

For TA to hit RM 1.00 within the next few trading days isn't a big problem. The question is how high it can go after that. It all depends on the big boys. You and I can only be followers, not leaders.

So far only about 100 million new shares have been issued since Oct last year due to conversion of ICULS. The total number of shares issued increases by just under 20% , so theoretically L&G's EPS should decrease by just under 20% as well assuming the company has not made use of the additional fund to make more money.

L&G is currently trading at a PE of less than 4.5. There is really no logic for this to happen as the prospects for maintaining its earnings are still bright. What is more a 2 sen dividend is in the pipeline. Big time investors may suddenly decide to re-rate this cash rich counter one day, you never know.

Appears to be moving up again.

TA has never touched this level for over 6 years. It went up to over RM 2 in 2007. Breaching the RM 1 barrier is a certainty but how high it can go is anybody's guess.

TA closed at 86 sen yesterday. After adjusting for 2.8 sen dividend which goes ex today, TA's closing price yesterday was 86-2.8 or 83.2 sen and was rounded down to 83 sen. TA opened at 85.5 sen this morning.

Those who are already in possession of TA shares and sell tomorrow would be entitled to the 2.8 sen dividend. Of course those who buy tomorrow won't be entitled to the dividend.

TA's first quarter earnings is quite commendable. At 3.37 sen, it is an improvement of 70% over the corresponding period last year. Its annualized earnings per share comes up to 13.48 sen. Assuming a PE of 10, TA should be worth around RM 1.35 per share. Just sit back and wait for TA to surge tomorrow. What's more, TA will trade ex-dividend tomorrow.

I think what she had revealed to the reporters regarding the company's earnings for the first quarter for financial year ending 30/4/2015 is likely to be true. So just be a bit more patient and wait for the announcement of the results. Moreover, we still have the 2.8 sen dividend which should support TA's share price at above 80 sen.

The proposed 2 sen dividend should be announced officially before the company calls for its AGM and releases its annual report. It was mid-August last year. Should be about the same time again this year.

Those who bother to read in detail Keck Seng's latest annual report and compare it with the year before would have found out that major share holders (those holding above 100,000 shares each) had been net sellers of Keck Seng shares, selling almost 2 million shares though the 5 substantial share holders picked up a total of 100,000 shares. The total number of share holders also increased by 468.

Institutional investors/top shareholders have been lying low lately. From 6 May 13 to 12 May 14, investors holding more than 100,000 TA shares bought a further 45 million TA shares, 30.64 million of which was by a single individual. They must have the confidence that you and I don't have.

Facbind.'s net cash per share is much higher than RM 1.51. Its deposits, cash and bank balances total over RM 148 million. It has zero debt, but has trades and others payable + tax liability amounting to RM 11.5 million. This is more than compensated by its trades and others receivable amounting to RM 17.3 million. With a paid up capital of RM 85.163 million, its net cash per share is RM 1.75 and NTA is RM 2.51 per share.

It appears that Keck Seng's management have become more and more proactive over the past few years. First, they disposed of Parkway Holdings shares and made a huge profit. Then they divested some of the company's listed investments and now acquired a hotel in New York for US$ 82 million. This is certainly much better than keeping money in banks and earn 1% interest a year. Property is still very reasonably priced in the US.

Bad result. Might drop to RM 6.50 again.
