dividend can be stated as xyz sens per share and not abc% which must be then related to the par value.

This stock should be evaluated on the basis of full conversion of both War and LA. A special dividend will quicken the conversion process.
On the flip side the enlarge share base will cap share price due to dilution.

king of the contrarians : ttb.

loan stock holdders are beginning to convert loan stock into ordinary shares. some selling pressure on the shares is to be expected.

Singapore is no good friend of China.

this scheme may lead some to bankruptcy.

AllManAreBros: are you a shareholder of Benalec?

Ciakopi, are you a shareholder?

revenue growth in plastic products very small. not indicative of any thing great on the horizon.

Becoming a bank is not just about having adequate capital. It also requires efficient manpower and in this area, MBSB will face a much bigger problem.

No one needs to worry for Chua Ma Yu. He is not what he is today for being a fool.

My earlier post could be confusing due to the positioning of the figues.

Cur s/pr 1.13, NTA 1.69, No of shares 2,900m BV 4,909m P/B 66.9%

Rights @ o.59, NTA of R 0.59 No of shares 2,900m BV 1,700

Ex R : price 0.86, NTA 1.14, shares 5,800m BV 6,620m P/B 75.4%

Another way of looking at MBSB.

Current :1.13 NTA:1.69 No of :2,900m B/value: 4,909m P/B: 66.9%
price shares

Rights : 0.59 0.59 :2,900m 1,711m

Ex rights 0.86 NTA 1.14 :5,800m 6,620m P/B : 75.4%

The ex R price at 0.86 will be at 75.4% of its book value. For a company that is still making profit despite having to make additional provisions for 2016 and 2017, I think subscribing for the rights should not be missed.

MBSB had once traded at p/b of more than 120% about a year ago. MBSB seems to be heavily oversold as of now.

Comparing MBSB with Mulpha is like comparing an elephant with an orange.

NB: the figues used are based on its fy2015 and Q1fy2016, with slight adjustment for some new shares it issued recently.

Q1fy16 results just out. EPS 2.43 sens. Not impressive at all. Current price supported by div of 8 sens for fy 2015. Current price level may not hold ex div.

Also, MHC only listed not too long ago. Why should they go public with so much cheap land?

KLK has thousands of acres between Ipoh and Batu Gajah. Part of which has been developed but the area is grossly overdeveloped and hundreds of houses and shops begging for buyers.

OMG!!!

By 2020, a goreng pisang will cost 2020.

Infrastructure is important but skilled and committed people is far more important. One may build the biggest this and that, but without the right and good people running it, it will not worry any competitor.

Why this share not good for long term?

Price is weak bcos small shareholders do not like the rights issue is structured and many are selling. The exercise creates a lot of odd lots which are difficult and expensive to sell.

LTAT selling bcos BAT closing down manufacturing ops.

Will Calsberg follow BAT in ceasing its manufacturing facilities and becoming a distributor of imported beers. They face similar challenges.

Some insurers do not deliver what they promise but you have to also be careful. You must comply with the terms and conditions of the policy. Suggest you read thro it carefully so that you will not be giving them the excuse not to pay you.

If having complied with the terms and conditions of the policy and the insurer still avoid its responsibility, go to see Bank Negara Malaysia or the Insurance Mediation Bureau, or even a lawyer. Do not be afraid about pursuing your rights.

Trading at 75% discount to NTA also means management inefficiency - under productive assets.

LCW has excellent court craft in all departments as well as stamina and speed. But he lacks strong fighting spirit and killer's intinct. Most of his losses are due to that.

KS is super long term stock, requires super patience.

surplueses arising from revaluation of property can be capitalised and distributed as bonus units.

The govt is really desperate.

if epf buys more shares it may cross the 75% point. as for staff behaviour, i think mbsb is grossly overstaffed and they have nothing much else to do.

Pintaras with par value at RM1.00 has room for share split which is likely to promote a bigger share base.

One of the ousted brothers bought 1k shares in his own name recently. May be up to some mischief. What can be worse is strife among shareholders at the holding company level. Benalec can go the Kian Joo way.

YiStock's articles gives a lot of details, hence they are long. His intention, i think, is to answer the questions before they are asked. Please keep it up.

luvluv, you seem to have a crystal ball.

YSP's 3Q results are boosted by forex gain which may or not recur. One should not be carried away by just looking at the bottom line for one quarter's results.

Exchange gains?

How to place out new units @rm1 which is the par value?

pintaras got the contract for 100 storey building at stadium merdeka site. is that finished?

Market size of RM6.8 billion in EM and RM33B in Peninsular would make them one of the largest companies in Malaysia, bigger than Sime Darby worldwide. Where do you get these figures?

Since the AGM for FY 2015 will be held soon, those of you who have made numerous comments critical of the company and the MD should attend and raise the issues, equally critically and strongly as you have posted in this forum, at the AGM. In this way, it will be recorded in the minutes and the impact will be there.

Dividend based on last year's results. Higher dividend may be possible if current year results are better.

A great story. Every body should watch the video.

celebrate when the money is on the table.

CFTrader, sure the market is unpredictable. BUT isn't everyone predicting the market when he takes a position in a counter?

sos, shall we say in the case of jtiasa, like many others but not me, you had been conned.

too much related party transaction, easy for controlling shareholders to manipulate p&l.

Post removed.Why?

don't blame this and that for the weakness of the ringgit. Yes, there are other currencies also weakened recently but ringgit is among the worst. Knowing that good days dont last forever, why have we not planned for the rainy days. One of the world's best central bankers, lol.

wishful thinking.

kc, the rich retirees may not need your advice but not all retirees are rich. the rank of the poor now includes many who were once not so poor, and those who were poor are now even poorer, and i have no doubt they will appreciate your input.
