@MrFox, there's no such thing as a long term investment. Let your winners run and once ran far enough it would be time to take profits.

On 15 January, a director of Insas sold off all his 331,500 Insas-WC at 0.385. This shows the director himself doesn't think Insas share price could stay beyond RM1.29. If a director himself has no faith of Insas .......

MrSslee, don't get too attached to Insas. Just treat it now as a risk free investment which can give you superior returns.

Angry people who don't have Insas shares have Insas-WC instead. If Insas share price falls below 90 sen the warrants will be out of money. The clock is ticking, tick tock tick tock.

Since Insas is very deeply undervalued and the recent results good why has not been as mass buying?

Before the quarterly results was released Insas closed at 1.19, despite reporting a good results Insas has fallen to 1.07 now. Why is that so?

I already made 4 fold gain exiting from Insas and now hold just one share. I will definitely buy back Insas one day.

About a year ago when Insas was struggling at around 80 sen level for long periods the net short selling position of Insas shares was around 5 million. Today it's zero.

Stock

Most of the 74 million shares were in the hands of Sharks who over the next several weeks offloaded them to water fish.

Stock

On 15th and 16th January Insas trading volume for those two days exceeded 74 million which is more than 10% of Insas total shares. At that time the rumours was that someone was collecting Insas shares to attempt a hostile takeover bid. However, no one emerged as a new substantial shareholder.

Once the Sharks succeed in unloading the shares in their hands they will begin short selling Insas.

If after paying for shares of a valued company the price stays flat or drift down for months/years then you have fallen into a value trap.

Sharks having pushed up Insas from 90 sen level to highest point at RM1.35 in 10 short trading days need to offload to the water fish who keep buying more to average down with the hope that they can make a quick exit when Insas price rebound to RM1.15. Everyone seems eager to get out. Sharks as well as water fish.

Why Insas-WC closed red today?

Stock

3 weeks ago | Report Abuse

A lot of water fish who previously bought high, above 1.20 are buying to average down thinking that they would then be able to exit around 1.15.

Insas, a name that whispers promise,
A value play, some investors entice.
But hold, dear friend, before you take the bait,
This siren song may lead to a bitter fate.

The price sits low, a number that enthralls,
A hidden gem, a bargain for all.
Yet stagnant waters, though alluring to the eye,
May hold unseen depths, where dreams can die.

Years tick by, the share price barely moves,
While others soar, a tale the market proves.
Is it a value, or a value trap so deep?
Where hopes descend, and fortunes fall asleep.

Think twice, dear friend, before you invest your trust,
In promises whispered, turning into dust.
For in the market's dance, a truth is plain to see,
Not all that glitters, is a golden jubilee.

While bulls they charge, with horns held bold,
Contrarian whispers, "Soon, the story's told."
Fundamentals strained, a tapestry thin,
A crash awaits, where profits won't win.

He hears the cheers, the laughter light,
But sees the cracks beneath the market's might.
Technicals whisper, charts in disarray,
A downward spiral not far away.

The market's heart, a creature wild,
Can shift and turn, a fickle child.
But Contrarian stands, with calm resolve,
For in his mind, the future does evolve.

So let them scoff, their voices loud and clear,
He holds his ground, with wisdom and no fear.
Contrarian's path, a lonely quest,
To see the market humbled, put to the test.

He waits and watches, with a patient heart,
For when correction tears the world apart.
Though some may doubt, and some may fall,
Contrarian's vision will see him through it all

Here's a related quote from one of Graham's books on this subject:

the market is not a weighing machine, on which the value of each issue is recorded by an exact and impersonal mechanism, in accordance with its specific qualities. Rather should we say that the market is a voting machine, where on countless individuals register choices which are the product partly of reason and partly of emotion.[1]


With respect to Graham saying "in the long run it is a weighing machine," I did an ebook search of Security Analysis and The Intelligent Investor, and the quote is not present in those books. Some say that Warren Buffett said that Graham said this.

If Mr Neoh says don't be greedy, take profits and you choose to ignore then you are not learning to be a good investor.

This is a classic case of a value trap where you have just several days window period to sell near the peak.

If one were to check back Insas uptrend only ran for 9 trading days and then went sideways until release of quarterly results and upon release it went downhill and continues to do so.
