Calvin, one thing I forgot to say is that Insas has shares in OCBC. How much is OCBC now?

TTB and every "expert" were bullish way back in January. Foreign funds withdrew in March and April and only started to return again. Market this year will be better than last year for sure. There's a spike in new opening of trade accounts by retailers since January. This means old veterans like us can make some good money. But it will not be a super bull, there's never going to be one here again.

i am the most successful investor in this forum and all other forum
my name alone will strike FEARS to everyone

Those oldbies will curse me like no tomorrow

I collect cheap VALUABLE stocks and make BIG killing one after another
for the past 20 years !!

I dont sell when up 5% or 10%
i dont even sell when up 50%
because i buy at 10% of the REAL VALUES.

Analabs 80 sen sell 1.60
LCTH , Johor Port, Hing Yiap - take over high price
PMcorp buy 8 sen shoot up to above 40 sen
Fast killing in DRBHicom, MMC, MBMR, ornastel, BJtoto, PBbank, Nestle, CScenic
Leader Universal 40 sen take over above RM 1

All these are recorded and are witness by everyone.

There are 3 wrong stocks i bought
- LCL
- Prkcorp
- MNRB
and i still manage to cabut with Profit.
Because i make decision very FAST with no regret.
When i get to know something not right,
I RUN FIRST, then look behind LATER.

I even lay out my strategy for INSAS
BARE and CLEAR for every one to see.
In real time.

I tell u one last time
when u get to know super good stock
SAILANG ALL IN
Then WAIT until it reach it REAL VALUE.

FOCUS on the REAL VALUE
not the trading, volume, share price that is traded among strangers.

Just because someone selling his car at certain price, does not mean your car worth the same. Don't waste time selling front tyres for insurance.
Want to sell - SELL ALL !!
U sell part, of course u win some and lose some.
u may argue, coming in second place or losing in second last place is okay.
U ARE WRONG.

I only need to FOCUS on CORRECT VALUATION.
A genious Carpenter always say -
Measure twice, thrice or five time, and i only need to cut one time.
Watching other people cutting woods will not change the length of your Lan ciao.

INSAS is WORTH RM 6 RINGGIT !!
DUMP EVERY OTHER STOCKS
AND SAILANG ALL IN
TOMORROW !!

26,000 shareholders if each on average has 10,000 shares that would have meant 260 million shares.

If I remember correctly, it was once reported that there over 26,000 shareholders in Insas. If 26,000 people buy Insas also cannot move then needs how many people to buy?

If by next AGM the cash hoard keep increasing and no sign of BOD reinvest the retained earnings for the long-term growth of the company then BOD should return part of the retained earning to shareholders for them to reinvest.

Not until after Thong exercises his warrants to increase his shareholding.

Making money from any investment is all about timing, the entry price at the time you buy and the price you sell at the time you exit.

I don't feel that Insas BOD is creating value for the shareholders. I made 4X because market forces depresses Insas price back after each temporary peak. It's this continuous cycle that allows me to benefit greatly.

My first goal when I started investing in the stock market was to make enough to finance the purchase of a home (I was living in rented flat then) and I achieved that by year 2000 and thereafter it was to build up a retirement nest which I have achieved. When I am 70 (or 65) I want to just spend, spend, spend, go overseas, visit the ancient sites etc.

Making money in the stock market is a sure thing for me. There will be period of times when you make extremely huge gains, but it is a small window of time and you have to be able to see it when the selling opportunity arises. Most other times the stock market is flat or down. These are also good times as they present buying opportunities.

When I was younger I was more "reckless", more daring, betting huge on Second Board stocks, betting on warrants etc. Now I am more into safe, deeply undervalued stocks like Insas.

I have played warrants many times, the greatest return was Affin call warrants which I was bought just before Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. The warrant was new and stock market was shaky due to US presidential election. After Donald was elected Affin share price shot up and I made a 300% gain on the Affin call warrant.

Warrants normally trade at a premium and if one wants to speculate in warrants one has to buy at the early stage when the warrant is first issued. As the expiry date draws close the risk in holding warrants rise steeply. In Insas' case the warrant premium is roughly 10 sen with about 22 months to go. If Insas price remains flat, the warrant premium will erode slowly over 22 months. Just before expiry you either have to sell your warrants at whatever price and buy Insas shares or exercise the warrants by paying 90 sen in order not to lose your investment.

The timing of the article when Insas was a hot stock. He hasn't contributed anything else this year or for a long time except for two long articles on Insas and Insas-WC in January when Insas was so hot.
