@derrickinvestor, please let us know what are the signs in chart that Sona could reverse on monday?
You have been making constant negative remarks on Sona since listing. I understand that you have many Cliq and recently Sumatec, but why are you keep running down on Sona?

US stocks rise as Yellen says stimulus must continue
US stocks rose as Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told lawmakers the central bank
must press on with monetary stimulus as “significant slack” remains in labour markets
and inflation is still below the Fed’s goal. JPMorgan Chase & Co and Goldman Sachs
Group Inc increased more than 1.5% after the banks reported better-than-estimated
earnings. (Bloomberg)
US retail sales, manufacturing data point at firming economy
A gauge of US consumer spending rose solidly in June, in the latest sign that the
economy ended the second quarter on a firmer footing. That momentum appeared to
have carried into the third quarter, with other data showing factory activity in New
York state expanded sharply in July. The Commerce Department said core sales, which
strip out automobiles, gasoline, building materials and food services, increased 0.6%
last month after rising by an upwardly revised 0.2% in May. (Reuters)

Fed says economy rebounding as it trims bond purchases
The Federal Reserve said growth is bouncing back and the job market is improving as
it continued to reduce the monthly pace of asset purchases. “Economic activity is
rebounding in the current quarter and will continue to expand at a moderate pace,”
Fed Chair Janet Yellen said. Even with declines in unemployment, “a broader
assessment of indicators suggests that underutilization in the labor market remains
significant.” (Bloomberg)

There are still some confusion about how the interest rate is charged. US Dollar loan is based on LIBOR + margin and NOT BLR + Margin or KLIBOR + margin. Attached a link on LIBOR rate for your better understanding.
The US Dollar loan is now very very cheap at +/- 0.53 + 0.5 = 1.03 % ( 0.5% is the approximate margin charged for a secured loan, since Sona already has oil in production ). For a 5 years loan, the libor rate may be slightly higher. Therefore, I am looking at an all in rate of below 1.5 %.
Dato’ Maznah Binti Abdul Jalil, Chief Financial Officer and Non-Independent Executive Director has over 30 years of experience in corporate advisory roles in various private and public companies. That's why Sona have decided to borrow in US dollar.

@focus....loan of usd100m+ is not a big amount...no syndication is required and it does not matter what instrument the bank offers....the interest rate is still going to be LIBOR + margin, which is very very low.

Bro Hawk, i have the same opinion as you that Sona will fly like a supersonic jet when more information is released. USD loan is now very very cheap & since it's a secured loan against proven oil output from bualuang, i am looking at an all-in-rate if less than 1.5%.
2014-06-08 15:35 | Report Abuse
Banks will be financing a secured loan against proven oil output from bualuang, thus Sona may even obtained a very very cheap usd loan margin of only 50 basis points. The loan all-in-rate may even be lower than 1.5%.
2014-06-08 15:19 | Report Abuse
Sona have not clarify the rate of return for the 40% bualuang oil sale but what i can say is the US dollar loan is very cheap, easily below 3%. Sona will not be worry on the foreign exchange fluctuations like MAS or Air Asia bcoz it's a natural hedging as oil is quoted & sell in USD.

USD rate is quoted after London InterBank Offer Rate (LIBOR) instead if Kuala Lumpur Intervank Offer Rate (KLIBOR) and the USD rate is very much cheaper at the moment. A 12 month USD now is about 0.5335 % & banks will add a margin. I am looking at an all-in rate of less than 3%, as the rate will be higher if the loan is for 5 years or so..

When SONA borrow is most likely at klibor plus mah....!!
SONA can borrow at klibor plus 2% approximately 6% pa.
Therefore....return of 8% pa is still positive to SONA mah...!!
SAY u have Rm 500m give u return of 8% pa = Rm 40m
U have Rm 400m loan give u net return of 2% pa = Rm 8m
Total return of Rm 48m
PE about 12 to 14x.....for SONA ok loh....!!

No economic bubble, says RAM
Malaysia’s economy is not in a bubble as high household debt continues to weigh on
consumption and spending, RAM Holdings Bhd said. However, it believes that
household debt remains largely contained. According to Bank Negara Malaysia’s
Annual Report 2013, household debt in the country at end-2013 was 86.8% of gross
domestic product (GDP), from 81.1% at 2012, driven by loans for properties and
motor vehicles. “There is no economic bubble. Household debt has also been
contained so it’s no longer a major risk as earlier envisioned,” RAM group CEO Datuk
Seri Dr K Govindan said after the group’s AGM. (Financial Daily)

Manufacturing pickup shows US emerging from slump
Manufacturing expanded in May at the fastest pace this year as American assemblyline
workers responded to increased orders by cranking up production. The Institute
for Supply Management’s factory index rose to 55.4 from the prior month’s 54.9.
Readings above 50 indicate expansion. The release of the data, watched closely by
financial markets as a gauge of the economy’s strength, was anything but smooth.

US consumer confidence advances to second-highest since 2008
Confidence among US consumers rose in May to the second-highest level since 2008
as Americans grew more upbeat about the economy and labor market. The
Conference Board’s index climbed to 83 from 81.7 a month earlier that was weaker
than initially estimated, the New York-based private research group said today. The
reading matched the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 62 economists.
