Hello friends, It is surprising some analyst are driving the Hartalega price below RM6.00 while some are driving it up above RM 7.00 some few months ago. I hope they are not the same people and have no hidden agenda.
Yes there is a blip down in their financial performance and one of the main reasons is that Hartalega has employed 4000 to 5000 new employees to train and prepare them to run the new machinery so Quality can be mmaintained. This is very good management practice. In Production one needs to invest in HR, machinery, technology to ensure continued profitablity.
Even then, though there is blip, the company has been able to maintain over 20% ROE. How many companies in Malaysia do that. This means the Hartalegar's Equity can be double in 5 years or less. For long term investor this is a good trend.

reported - Cakvintaneng - Fats are not harmful as previously reported. E-mails are floating around encouraging people to resume eating Bak Kut Teh, Char Koew Teow, etc. because scientists have found fats are not unhealthy.

You should appreciate Nestle Management for sourcing low cost ingredients that help increase efficiency and profitability.
Malaysians are the fattest people because Malaysians consume a lot of sugar, rice (carbohydrate sugar), sweets, candies, cakes, beer, junk food etc. In fact Singapore Govt found an increasing trend of obesity and being caring have initiated and implemented Wellness and Fitment programs. The recent survey have shown improvement in Govt Medical expenditure, because of less sickness. Australia also has high rate of obesity even though they ban Illipe.
The root cause of Obesity is the culture, life style, the food we take, especially with rising middle income class.
On 27-11-13, a lady Haikeyila reported in the Dutch Lady column that the Nestle ROE is 69%. Tell me how many counters on the BURSA have this kind of ROE. You can count them on your finger tips. If Nestle continue with this Kind of ROE, it will reach RM 100 in the near future.
You should appreciate Nestle Management's strategy for not splitting the share to lower price, because this will eliminate cheap skate speculators / manipulators. So Nestle is for long term investors, understand.?
Haikeyila also highlighted PM Corp's ROE AS -134%. You should know who runs the company. It is lucky that it is not transfer to PN 17 listing, then what ????

I like Haikeyila's finding on Nestle on 27.11.13. At kind of ROE Nestle will hit RM 100.00 in the future, if it continues with same ROE.By the way Dutch Lady has similar ROE so the counter will do well if it maintains that kind of ROE.
Friends, you musrr know who runs PM Corp, in fact it is lucky it is not transferred to PN17 listing.
