With the 22,500 shares, had you sold all recently at RM1.30 you would be getting RM29,250. Your initial investment of RM6,000 about 10 years ago has grown to almost 5 times. This is happening to me. Insas paling cantek.

If you buy 10,000 shares at 60 sen, sells all at RM1.10 your original RM6,000 becomes RM11,000 and with that amount you can later buy back say, 15,000 shares at around 70 sen. Then sell the 15,000 shares at RM1.20 to get RM18,000. Later when price drops back to say, 80 sen, you can buy 22,500 shares.

In the last 10 years I completely exited from Insas twice around the peak and with the gains made was able to buy back more Insas shares when it dropped back.

To do a take over on Insas whether hostile, friendly, sneaky, openly or whatever, the person must acquire 33% first. But first whoever is taking over Insas must announce himself as a substantial shareholder once he has crossed 5% shareholding. So far, has anyone one crossed 5%?

@Income, if Insas goes to RM4.00, Insas-CA will go to how much?

Stock

2024-01-27 19:38 | Report Abuse

Remain focussed on the sole reason why Insas share price spiked since two weeks ago. It is due to name dropping of a famous former banker. How much shares does this famous former banker holds in Insas? Has he accumulated 5%? Will he be announcing himself as a substantial shareholder?

Currently Tong still is substantial shareholder of Star with over 5% stake. Did Tong acquire Insas in the open market recently to emerge substantial shareholder? If he did, how long will he take to reach 33% to trigger mandatory general offer?

Most people held Insas very long because their target selling price was not reached in each of the previous rally. Mr Sslee revealed that in the earlier rally in 2021 he didn't sell down because his target price was RM1.50.

Tong made his entry into Star in the same month as Insas in April last year. In Star's case Ting became an instant substantial shareholder in excess of 5%. However, Tong didn't buy the shares from the open market but directly from Amanah Sahan Bumuputera.

There has been a lot of satire postings in Insas forum. These are all just for fun and not to be taken seriously. We should use our own judgement and assess the situation ourselves. For the week just ended Insas share price held up well mainly due to Tong's article in The Edge. Insas' fundamentals haven't changed, a year ago it was deeply undervalued and still so today. Smart investors would have accumulated a significant position in the past 12 months when price was hovering at 75 to 85 sen. Suddenly we have a hype of something which is already known for a long time. This hype didn't really push up the price, it started after the price was pushed up. Next week is a different situation, Insas may move further up or stay flat or go down, no one knows for sure. Insas remains deeply undervalued but only and only continuous buying of its shares can move its price up.
