how much are analysts being paid anyway? Just for interest.

right on eagleis. I sold off all Mudajya shares when I noticed that 2 months ago. We don't know who are the employees who benefited but I think we have our ideas.

It is difficult to Invest less than 5% in one company because there are so few that investors can really invest with peace of mind. Less than 5 actually.

You are absolutely right Eric. It is impossible to predict if any particular unit trust will do well in future. But however we can do our homework and predict with reasonable accuracy if a particular stock will do well in future.

By spreading our investments and diversification, aren't we increasing our risk of making bad investments?

It certainly does and I am just a beginner. I find that the greatest enemy is myself.

Wise diversification?

Over the past few months, my unit trusts has lost more than 10% while my own direct stock investment has gained more than 40 %. I only invested in 3 stocks.

Rubbish.
Do your homework and research the stocks before you buy. Then keep those few good stocks that you have identified.
Do not be lazy and diversify.
Do not diversify because your professor ask you to.
Do not diversify because you want to buy all those 'blue' chips like sime, petgas, blah blah blah..

Aeon Credit is probably one of the very few fundamentally strong stocks in the KLSE universe with good visible growth prospects, Greece or no Greece. It's growth will depend a lot on the government's pay, which has gone up significantly in April. That pay rise will fuel Aeon Credit's growth even more.
Aeon Cr's has gone up too fast too soon, that is why it will go down sharply now.

Almost did get a heart attack when it was sued by Customs earlier. Couldn't let go soon enough. Wonder how the case is going on now. Until I have further information I won't touch this beauty.

Had a chat with a client today. She was commenting how the local Bank Rakyat is having a surge in personal loans because of the rise in Government pay.
I suppose not too difficult to extrapolate it to Aeon credit.

Company buys back shares @ RM 3, then give out ESOS @ 1.9. Not a very clever person and cannot figure out what it is all about, but don't like it one little bit.
Things I don't like I sell....

I wonder how many stars will that car get in a standard, non biased, non corrupt crash test.

Thank you petracot. I follow your comments closely as they are very logical, clear with facts to back up your opinions. Though I do not go for technical analysis they till make good reading. Keep it up.

When I said you were good some guy was having doubts. Aeon credit is now at 9 ringgit.
Your comments echoed my thinking when I bought Aeon Credit 6 months back. Good times bad times it will grow.

I just love technical analysis. Good entertainment.

Should have been at that level 10 years back.

Good figures....if you trust the accounting.

If you really want to invest in unit trust, then go to fund Supermart Malaysia. Upfront charges much lower.

Good stock. Petracot, from ur postings I know you are a pro.

1600? 16000? Don't really care. Just make sure you are holding on to a good profitable company, and just sit on your ass.

beautiful mudajaya.

had a look at the figures for Pelikan. No good. They make very good fountain pens though...

Depends on how you look at padini. If you are a trader, then maybe not. If you intend to buy and sit on your ass, it is a good counter.

agree totally. Except I will wait for a few more years. Show us the money first. Ours is hard earned money, no 250 million soft loan from government.

How much are the shareholders paying the CEO of Genting annually?
I am sure he is worth every cent.

All the same few usual hot counters. Counters which everybody knows even though they are no good. Analyst keep their jobs that way?

one of the very few shares that i would buy and keep.

Economy now very good. Stock market up. Inflation low. Bonuses after bonuses. Projects after projects. Harvest after Harvest....ooops did I say anything wrong?

Competent. Yeah, you are right

good for air asia. never trusted him.

Pchem is a hot stock. Analysts who do not like hot stocks are deemed incompetent and might lose their job. Its that simple.

fly?? i am going to bet my house , car, cats, dogs, chickens, wife and daughter on this counter. another harvest ?? good. can retire early.

Don't be too sure. We just took a glance at the figures and know that this stock is out of our buy list.

Hmmm.... how to pay for all those Boeings??

see how wise Buffet WAS (before IBM)?

Bursa, can take action against the Son of Somebody who manipulated a 0.08sen share to RM 2+ recently and cause a lot of ah pek and ah Mu to lose their pants??
No right. Son of somebody, remember ??

avoid the GLC and PLC ( pigs and politicians related companies)
