VOTE FOR BN
I was able to brag about the latest features in my USD 20000 crap to my friend who owned a USD 20000 camry.
YEAH!!

VOTE FOR BN
BN taught me English. I learnt how to use the word "Naughty" and I learnt about the King with 1 eye.
YEAH!!

VOTE FOR BN
BN came up with the most ingenious way to increase the nation's population to 70 million as soon as possible (hint: it started in Sabah).
soon we will have a Hartono, or Suprianto or Aryanto as PM.

VOTE FOR BN
We are seldom world champions in anything, but BN has managed to get us crowned world no.? in money outflow (was it illicit or legal?).
YEAH!!

Ah, I see. Vote for BN, especially UMNO.
THEY will not harm the country. Get it?

don't have to pay and can also become director of GLC

don't forget that city down south.

"a low interest rate to service"?
You mean, you need to service that loan?
I always though there is no need to service that loan.

"No other country is doing so much for the Halal industry as Malaysia."
We are a very moderate country...in fact the majority shareholder of a beer company is a Malaysian and a ........

apply for 250 million ringgit soft loan from our generous government.

better take more pictures tomorrow.
Maybe no more opportunity.

By Kcchongnz :4)No growth companies can be good investment if the price is right. See my arguments with gark in this thread. I hope you can comment on it. Same as companies with erratic growth. Look at the intrinsic value of a stock as the discounted free cash flows in the life of the company and compare with its market price.

They can be good investment targets, but unfortunately when funds are limited, I think a sound, fundamentally strong growing company might be a better place to park the money.
I am very much influenced by gurus which advocate growth and not so much by pure value gurus. But I will not be able to quote any studies, values, etc. But by common sense share price will grow with the company.

why bother? everything has been factored in.
This week or next week, or week after next...no difference.

Trust yourself. You are not going to steal your own money.

Since when is right positioning NOT the key?

Like North Korea? Cool

This time will be unique.
If BN wins, stocks will fly.
If PR wins, stocks will be stunned for a while, then they will fly.
Worst case = hung parliament....

Of course election is nearing.

house, investopedia will have most of the definitions you need. I am sure you will find it useful.

Yeap, keep things simple.
Just google....

Looks like Kfima's negative growth was mainly because of a relatively poor Q1FY12/13. Since then it has picked up with Q3 better than the corresponding quarter last FY.
That's reassuring.
BTW know anything about the controlling family? Are they...you know...very or too connected politically?

A quick google showed EPS (TTM) vs
TTM 1 year ago =-1.5913
That is negative growth.
Is there any cause for concern?
Otherwise all figures and charts look solid.

My don'ts have generally steered me away from trouble since I started investing seriously. They were conceived after reviewing the 'burns' both mine and others.
I have shallow financial knowledge (unlike kcchongnz and others) and those don'ts protected me well so far. I missed some opportunities but that's ok. But the also greatly restricted the number of investment targets. I am never a believer of diversification, so that's ok.

Never lose money...Buffet.

It is Teh Hong Piau, not Tan.
BTW I meant misai Tan

I have other don'ts.
1. Don't invest in stocks whose majority controlling owner has a bad reputation.
2. Don't invest in GLCs and china companies.
3. Don't invest in companies with less than 5 yrs of listing history. Somehow companies tend to lose money once they are listed.
4. Don't invest in companies with no growth or erratic growth or income.
5. Don't invest in techs.
6. Don't invest in companies whose business you cannot visualise or feel comfortable with.

Don't predict the market.
Time in the market is more important than timing the market.

I am totally, completely, absolutely converted. Sure!

Buy a company which can grow, and with a business which 'an idiot can understand and run, because sooner or later an idiot is going to run it.'

Swing voters are definitely better than gluttons looking for a free meal and some pocket money.

If illegal must suspend.
But before we do that make sure we are fair and enforce it strictly on everyone.
Are we sure we want to do that?
Some of our very Dear Leaders might end up looking at the walls in Sg Buloh for the rest of their lives.

If we cannot be billionaire the proper way, then at least we can be billionaire the Zimbawe way.....

I believe in the super bull, just don't buy Genting.

Now it is up to the People, the highest court of all.

Hai yah, why always use maths, science and english to measure our education standards?
Look at our students- they are very good in Malay, and of course the BN's version of history. The singapore students know nuts about these 2 subjects. If use these 2 criterias, we are no. 1 in the world.
RIGHT???

I think all of us will become billionaires, Zimbawe style.

Wonderful article. As I said earlier, the BN politicians sent their kids overseas to become pigs and whores so that our education system can learn from their mistakes.

Nowadays I have learnt not to trust 'proposed' plans. Sure it probably might be true but I can sleep better investing in good growth records.

Keep investing as simple as possible.

Hospital prime location. Maybe can think of relocating and redevelop the area.....kantou

A look at the trend of PW's profit and revenue was enough to put me off.
Just 1 or 2 yrs of good earning is never good enough for me.
A spike in earnings always smells fishy. Rather pass.

For a company with a growth rate of around 5-6%, the formula will be approximately EPS*20.
if the growth rate is 11%, it approximaes EPS *30

Graham's formula: replace the long term bond rate with the max FD rate that you can get in Malaysia and you simplify it further to
EPS *(8.5 +2G )

sorry, but what is PW? I would love to check that one out.

Keep it simple.
Look for an online formula (numerous available)
key in whatever is needed
apply a massive discount. I suggest 70%.

They are no magic figures. Figured that one out some time back.
My principle = KIS, keep it simple.

BN has a few queens closing in on the King, while PR has a few scattered pieces, ready for a surprise counter attack.

chess end game....

Then again, there might be a slow descent with low volume as most people will be holding on to their cash with abated breath.
Might be a good time to collect.
Entry price of Huayang...any price will do for the long term.

Have faith. Must have faith.
Lose money never mind..keep the faith.

Not going to happen.
