Hi Philip, STNE is now 17.82. Given the Covid-19 situation in Brazil your thesis for STNE still remains ? Do you plan to average down ?

This is a simple accounting mistake which I couldn't edit or delete once key in. ( Funny how that works to stop fake entries. My total selling was 650k shares of QL at 8.6 to invest in serbadk and others. But as I keyed in wrongly ( I put in 200k shares in ql instead of serbadk), I had to adjust the amount so it reflected properly.
>>>>>>>>>
By the way I am curious what is your thinking process when you did buy and sell QL at RM 8.60 on 17th Feb 2020?
Sell QL: -700,000 at RM 8.60
Sell QL: -150,000 at RM8.60
Buy QL: +200,000 at RM8.60

A good read is the 1990 memo. Very simple and very important.
It is more important to reduce risk and consistent results. Meaning the best long term portfolios are those with low lows during crisis and low highs when speculation is at its highest.
If your portfolio has very high volatility, are you really growing your portfolio? Once you add your long term results, how does it look like?

Hi sich, for stne we have decided a wait and see approach as stne has not dropped to a level that would warrant dipping into margin to buy more. I'm currently content with the 200k shares that we currently hold, and will use any dividends if raised to reinvest. As our initial price was around the usd20 range, I think we are comfortable as is.

Stoneco core biz is very similar to square inc, albeit diff in the strategies as US and Brazil is structurally diff market.
The strong growth in the co does not come without challenges and it is getting more intense as they go.
Incumbents are fighting back and eating into stoneco's main biz - prepayment market.
that is why stoneco is moving into credit market as fast as they can.
either you innovate fast or you are being out-innovated.
on another front, certainly the covid would affect the delinquency rates.
not to say stoneco is not a great investment but one has to understand what factors are at play.

I do agree with you Philip, enticing at this level.
I believe soon enough, stoneco would "copy" square inc's game plan for cash app.

hi i am new and i am very impressed at how much money you are investing in stocks. May i know why do you not invest in banking counters like CIMB or Maybank? or electronics counters since we are moving into the digital era?
How many stocks should one have in his/her portfolio and should we focus on dividend paying stocks all the time?
Posted by Philip ( what you can learn from RJ MITTE ) > 2020-04-08 08:00 | Report Abuse
The simple answer is I don't know how to value the long term returns of banks like CIMB and Maybank and electronic? Counters. As I prefer to to buy stocks in industries I know well and businesses I know well and within my area of competence.
Instead, if your area of competence is in banks or electronic counters then you should study that instead ( and share with me your findings haha).
For me, I have had only 4 stocks in my portfolio for the last 9 years, and added 2 last year and 1 this year, after carefully following and researching for 1 year. As well stoneco in NYSE.
Firstly, my advice is not to follow dividend paying only stocks, because you will invariably be led to REITS, which is a horrible idea in Malaysia. My advice is to follow companies which consistently grow their revenues and earnings every year while controlling debt, liabilities and shareholder dilution to a minimum. You can earn money in many ways other than dividends: via share buybacks, increase of share price due to p/e expansion etc. Note that warrants and share splits do not reward shareholders ( I consider them shareholder dilution).
My recommendation is to follow Warren buffet advice, treat buying stocks the same way you are buying a house, getting married or buying a car. If you can only buy 10 cars in your entire lifetime, it makes sense to be very very careful in choosing your cars. For me buying stocks is the same way.
If you are interested in a stock you should spend at least a month understanding a company before even thinking of buying it ( and removing all confirmation bias). You need to be brutally honest in understanding the long term prospects of the company you are researching in. Be cautious and assume you are presenting a report to the sultan of Saudi Arabia, who could behead you if you got it wrong.
There are no penalties or fines if you don't buy stocks. No bad decisions if you don't buy, only if you put your money in. Remember that. Ignore all those FOMO thoughts, and concentrate on never losing money.
So firstly you should read all 10 years annual reports to grasp:
1. What the management has done to grow the business
2. How much assets was grown during the period.
3. How much debt was generated during the period.
4. How much revenue and earnings was generated during the period.
5. Which customers and where those earnings came from and where it will come from 5 years from now.
6. How volatile/ stable is the earnings growth, how much bad years
7. How the management is acting on shareholder behalf.
If you have done all of this properly, reading the quarterly reports and annual reports, then you need to understand the competition
1. Read the industry journals to find the most efficient/fastest growing companies in industry.
2. How is the company you are researching about performing versus competition.
3. What are the market reports on the total addressable market of the industry.
4. who is the market leaders? HOW far apart are they versus competition.
Now once you have done this, then you should REPEAT and read the 10 years annual reports and quarterly reports of the COMPETITION stocks to see how they are performing versus the stock you are thinking of buying.
Once you have done all of this and you still think the company, you can start investing. But never put everything into the stock immediately. Buy a substantial amount that you can afford to lose, then build your position every quarter after the results are out and only if the performance is still within your expectations.
This is a much better way long term of participating in the growth of a well performing company.
Avoid IPOs, avoid airline stocks, avoid highly leveraged companies, avoid companies that you don't understand, avoid complex sounding companies with no earnings or revenues. Avoid startups.
Good luck.
And most important, avoid internet sifu trying to sell you subscription classes, books, stock tips and recommendations. Even myself. The price and time that I bought the stocks I have now is definitely different from the time that you will buy them so obviously any drop in share price I will still be able to sleep well at night because I am still heavily in the green, while you may be staring at the red.
Try to start a trackable portfolio of your stock purchases and sell so you can be honest in your performance and the opportunity costs you lost while holding your stocks. Learn to improve your stock picking and make the wrong decisions early( unlike me), don't repeat the same mistakes twice,
Good luck.

---> @Philip ( what you can learn from RJ MITTE ) > Apr 8, 2020 8:00 AM <---

One of the best posts (in the form of comment) this week. Conservative approach which requires doing research on the investor's (NOT trader's) part. This one is especially important, and which I'd stick to with financial markets:
---> But never put everything into the stock immediately. Buy a substantial amount that you can afford to lose, then build your position every quarter after the results are out and only if the performance is still within your expectations. <---
There will be times when one feels very confident of some company. However, it's prudent to buy in batches, at different times. I've managed to avoid getting into big trouble by sticking to this method.
"But what if the counter goes up after we buy the first batch?" Hey, that's a GOOD thing! That first batch is in the plus. Make a second buy to average the price.
By the way, don't forget to sell when a counter has reached a certain price! Many people become too attached, so proud of their successful pick, and refuse to sell to lock in the profit. Only to later regret after the price spiralled down to a level where the profit is significantly reduced.

Posted by Philip ( what you can learn from RJ MITTE ) > 2020-04-08 21:48 | Report Abuse
Apologies if I took your comment from email, but I thought this was an excellent question which requires some thoughts.
Most traders and new investors I know usually buy a stock based on ticker prices.
So when the ticker price goes up or down beyond their assumptions they usually panic and become very worried. A short term trade becomes a mid term hold becomes a long term "investment".
This is one of the worse things to do when stockpicking, because when you buy stocks based on ticker prices, you can never know if you are buying a stock cheaper than its intrinsic value, or chasing an uptrend stock into an accident, or catching a falling knife.
Knowing when to buy a stock is just half the game.
Knowing when to rationally sell a stock, and when to average down is another.
It is always a huge conundrum.
A few ways I go about it is to ignore the share price first and look to three business:
1. What is the debt of the company and possibility of bankruptcy.
2. Is the revenue/earnings downturn a permanent issue or a short term obstacle ( trade war, oil war, covid19 war)
3. How is the company doing in comparison to its peers
For me I prefer to purchase consistently growing companies that don't rise too high during good times, but also lose little during bad times. That way I can sleep well at night without much to worry about. And if a good discount day comes my way, I will be ready with a cash pile to buy in.

When i added on for MRCB and GKENT it was making a profit but not up to my expectation to sell so i held on but then it went down further.I have no choice now but to hold on to them. I was wondering based on your experience shall i cut loss and invest on other counters but which at this current situation i supposed everything is uncertain.
Posted by Philip ( what you can learn from RJ MITTE ) > 2020-04-08 21:58 | Report Abuse
For me a few things come to mind usually:
1. Growth of revenue and earnings: dialog hasn't grown much in revenue but their earnings have gone up a lot. I expect their profit margins to come down substantially as Aramco comes into the picture, PDT comes online and PIC in Johor starts to have much more competition in storage prices.
2. Total addressable market. Serba is performing in many places around the world, and I believe if their revenues and earnings are accurate, they will continue to grow at a phenomenal pace compared to dialog.
On the other hand there is a chance that Serba revenue and earnings are fabricated, but the consistency in dividends and earnings growth compared to peers seems to give me hope. I will continue to monitor this stock to understand more.

Dear Philip,
Please allow me to have a few words with @vllyk:
1. Philip is not completely honest on his take on banking counters as he and his family members used to hold Public Bank but he is smart to sold off Public Bank near it peak and bought Pchem near it peak too.
2. Please also do not confine yourself in Philip so called your circle of competency because competency is acquired not inborn.
3. Yes dividend is important:`
Posted by kcchongnz > May 19, 2019 11:33 AM | Report Abuse
In investing, there is no one size fits all.
Buyback shares when the share price is undervalued is definitely good for the company and the shareholders. However, not all managers buy back shares because they are undervalued, but rather for their interest such as jacking up share price because they own a lot of shares or share options. I prefer management buys more shares with their own money.
The very basic of the capital market is investors provide capital for company to do business, and the investors got return in term of regular dividends, from the free cash flows of the company, not from borrowings.
Dividend is never a bad thing in investing. It is a testimonial that the company is doing well, that the management is willing to share the profits of the company, a positive signal. Dividend is hard cash which investors can use it as they like; to buy more shares of the company, or other more promising companies, or spend it to enjoy their fruits.

4. Please read the book by KCCHONG or KCChong blogs to avoid the pitfalls by following tips from internet Sifu and understand the basic of financial report and on leverage.
5. Invest only on money you can afford to loss and please no “Sailang” or margin finance until you are street smart.
6. Philip is very lucky to make his fortune with PE50 Company QL but he made his own luck and he too knew when to sell QL at RM 8.60. (Top 30 QL shareholders hold 72.08% with EPF holding 7 %)
7. I do not think Philip Study Serba Dinamik 10 year records as I believe Serba Dinamik take on too much debt, expand too fast and too dependent on Qatar. Philip wrote, “Qatar is their biggest revenue and profit center. They are a unique country, very rich but supporting both Iran and USA (terrorism and also the biggest US airbase this side of the world).
The interesting part has been that ever since the blockade and embargo ( but Saudi still says they will send aid to Qatar if needed), of Egypt, Bahrain, Saudi etc a lot of contractors and suppliers have dropped (forced) to leave the country since 2014. Leaving the o&m space pretty much open to Serba dinamik to step in at high margins and huge demand”
Is this sustainable? Now Seba Dinamik is taking SCIB and Kpower to Qatar, in politics there are no permanent friends or permanent enemy’s just permanent interest. Will Qatar turn up to be Holland? How about Mainland China Contractors and suppliers?

Very interesting, what makes you think PCHEM is at its peak? I firmly believe that it was cheap when I bought it at 8.33. and today at 4.09 it was even more cheap, as shown by my frequency of purchases. I sold public Bank exactly because I could no longer see good long term growth coming from public Bank and other banking counters in Malaysia. Yes during the covid-19 crisis, everything is cheap.
But even though everything is cheap, not everything is a long term buy. And if you can only choose one stock, better to put it into a stock that you know well instead.

I would personally not use this " investor" as a guide because despite his beautiful prose, he is both right and wrong in his investments, which in reality means his analysis means absolutely nothing. How do I know his article is bullshit?
Very simple, compare his results versus his article. He writes this be that and has opinions in this and that, but in 2017 he says that public Bank is overvalued, and his picks as you now know were rcecap (30% of his portfolio) and affin bank (2% of his portfolio).
What were his results versus public Bank that I held within the same period ( 2012-2019)?
You can check it yourself. Even as his comments were correct on mbsb, he was remarkably wrong in buying affin and rcecap.
So, what good are academics with no results doing in giving you advice?
In short, it is similar to your father telling you vitamin c can cure covid19 based on some Facebook posts he read.
Unsubstantiated, not results based and with no history of accuracy.
I will recommend you do your own due diligence instead.
All I can say is the valuation metrics cold eye is using is wrong, icon8888 is using is wrong, Jonathan choi is wrong and sslee is wrong.
Let's start from there.
I myself do not have a clear understanding of the banking industry in Malaysia for the next 5-10 years which is why I sold pb. Lucky or not depends on you, although I am pretty sure I do 10x the amount of research and thinking on the future prospects than sslee when I go into a stock.
I have a feeling sslee only knows 2 of the CEOs of all the stocks that he buys ( without checking Google) and no Vincent tan is not the CEO of bjland.
Details which I consider critically important on my concept of valuation, rather than just numeric accounting figures.

I think sslee doesn't even look at quarterly reports. Refer to page 13 please for juicy details.
Out of their 1.36 billion in revenue in latest quarter, 395 million comes from one source and 427 million comes from another source. Guess how much is Qatar contribution to their total revenue? Is this amount going to grow or reduce in the next few years? ( Guess: look at total orderbook)
Now go back to inari, who is their biggest revenue source? What percentage is that compared to their second largest source? Now, big hint: is Apple guiding towards a growth in smartphone orders or reduction in orders?
So, please do your due diligence and study deeper.
FYI, I have a unlucky feeling that INSAS will show a huge losing quarter in the next quarterly report due revision of fair value loss on assets ( stocks), reduction in value of inari sold at low prices, lower dividend yields ( even cancellation of dividend for to the need to conserve cash). Will I be lucky or origin come to fruition?
In any case better to be lucky than good.

But sslee does have a point: debt is a very important factor in business growth. However just like cholesterol, there is always good and bad. As an investor we need to be very clear and understand the difference between the two.
Firstly, how much is the total debt generation versus the growth in revenue and earnings. This is a very important fact to understand. Debt is good if you get a big jump in revenue and earnings for each dollar of debt generated ( meaning a big market and ready to be tapped). Debt is bad when you actually get less revenue and earnings for every dollar put in ( take for example London biscuit, where increased debt turned into increase receivables that turned into late payments that turned into bad debt).
Secondly, is the debt serviceable with free cash flow? If the debt interest payments are within expectations, and job cancellations are still below threshold, and working capital is still available say the end of the day, then you need to understand how many hits the company can take before serious problems occur.
Thirdly, is the market shrinking or growing? Are the profit margins enough to cover debt risk? Who are their competitors and what levels of margins are they working with? There is no such thing as expanding too fast or taking on too much debt. What is most important is always the ratio of debt taken versus the orderbook and cashflow.

Dear Philip,
I only knows the CEO of companies which I attended the Company AGM: INSAS, TAE, CSCTEEL, HRC, JAKS and Hengyuan. As of BJland I did not attend the AGM. Bjland is just my trading bet (VGO Bet) with Icon8888 EWINT. But I did write complaint letter to SC and Bursa on Bjland:
With respect I refer to Bursa previous reply to my complaint:
Aduan Bursa <aduan@bursamalaysia.com>
To:Soon Sheng Lee

Dear Sir,
In line with our Company’s policy, we are unable to reveal any details of the assessment conducted by Bursa Securities in considering a lower public shareholdings spread. Nevertheless, any application submitted to Bursa Securities is being assessed objectively.
In addition, we also wish to clarify that Bursa Securities is not in a position to request any party to make any general offer. Any offer by the offerors will need to comply with the Rules on Take-Overs, Mergers and Compulsory Acquisitions of the Securities Commission.
I refer to Bjland Announcement dated 24 March 2020 below:
https://www.bursamalaysia.com/market_information/announcements/company_announcement/announcement_details?ann_id=3038657
The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Berjaya Land Berhad (“BLand”) wishes to announce that the public shareholding spread of BLand is 14.78% which is below the 15% minimum public shareholding spread requirement approved by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Securities”) vide its letter dated 20 December 2018.
In view of the above, the Board of BLand will seek the approval of Bursa Securities for an extension of time to comply with the approved minimum public shareholding spread requirement.
My sincere question: How many times will Bjland allowed to breach the Public spread of 15% before SC and Bursa would take actions on BJcorp to offer VGO on the remaining Bjland shares not owned by Bjcorp, TSVT and PAC on the same term as Bjcorp offer to PENTA INVESTMENT: BJCORP acquired 230,000,000 (4.61%) Bjland share value at RM 87.40 million or 38 cents per share by issued 291.33 million BJCORP share to PENTA INVESTMENT?
Thank you
Yours sincerely,
SS LEE
PS: At least TAE, Datuk Tiah and PAC offer VGO for remaining TAGB shares not owned by them.
So what hold up Bjcorp, TSVT and PAC to offer VGO for remaining Bjland shares not owned by them?
By the way as on Qatar didn’t you wrote “Qatar is their biggest revenue and profit center. They are a unique country, very rich but supporting both Iran and USA (terrorism and also the biggest US airbase this side of the world).
The interesting part has been that ever since the blockade and embargo ( but Saudi still says they will send aid to Qatar if needed), of Egypt, Bahrain, Saudi etc a lot of contractors and suppliers have dropped (forced) to leave the country since 2014.

So meaning you comment again without understanding,
What part of my sentence is wrong? It is all true. However, since you did not read any quarterly reports you assume it is the same as inari and assume it is the ONLY revenue source(broadcom). It is 30% of their total revenue, and the most profitable.
But you are the one who simply added,
" I do not think Philip Study Serba Dinamik 10 year records as I believe Serba Dinamik take on too much debt, expand too fast and too dependent on Qatar. "
Is this remark fair when I spent an entire year understanding the company before I bought a single share?

If you apply leverage and debt correctly, you can grow a business into a juggernaut.
As Warren buffet likes to put it, debt and leverage is not the risk. Risk is when you do things that you do not understand. If you look at my portfolio, by applying margin and leverage correctly to buy back shares at huge 50% discounts, I am able to go back to the green on my stocks over a longer period of time, effectively averaging down. I am not worried in borrowing millions of ringgit on margin from banks to do this endeavour, firstly because the long term prospects of the company is still intact, and secondly because my initial buy in price was cheap intrinsically, so having a bigger discount due to transient market conditions ( not fundamental changes in business prospects).
What do I term transient? The salad oil crisis for AMEX, stoneco/facebook IPO crash, covid19, China us trade war.
What do I term fundamental? Broadcom selling it's entire RF business to Apple. Cambridge analytica scandal, Debenhams and Carrefour business model.

Dear Philip,
No one say leverage is bad the only thing is leverage is a two edge swords know the pro and con and control the greed. The very good examples of companies’ bad leverage are Icon off shore, Armada, Sapnrg and etc taking on too much debt to expand during the period of high global oil price. And on Shares Margin Finance Mr. Koon pitfall on JAKS and all those margin force sell that allowed me to collect INSAS at 35 cents and Philip to collect Gkent at 46 cents, Serbadk at RM1.12, Yinson at RM 4.56 and Pchem at RM 4.09.

A test of how well you understand the qualitative side of business. Insas most important revenue is coming from inari
Without checking with Google, what is the name of INARI CEO? How long has he been in the industry? How many CEO before him? How many shares does he hold? What is avago yearly revenue contribution to inari? How many percent of that contribution is total revenue derived by INARI?
This is all very important facts that I value just as much as pe and roe.

Downside risks: delay in 5G rollout, loss of customers, a sharp appreciation of the RM and weak demand for smartphones.

Sslee, a very simple question which you post long article which has no meaning except more conjectures.
How much of revenues is INARI getting from broadcom per year and what are its revenue mix? If you still cannot answer then you really do not know inari or insas well enough.
Who are INARI customers and what is its breakdown?

As on Inari,
E&E is fast evolving business and for Inari in doing so well after listing Inari too must have its strategy to evolve.

Yes this is true, but Apple will not sign a fixed minimum supply agreement, if their smartphone sales drop as per management guidance, then rf orders will also drop.
Personally at the price sold per phone, without a clear differentiator between Android phones and Apple phones, the long term prospects of the hardware supply will only reduce with time.
This is not a possibility, this is a certainty.

Very good. If inari biggest customer as we all know is broadcom, at 1 billion revenue a year, 650 million of that will come from a single customer. Apple has already known it's revenues from smartphone sales will continue to drop, and it is banking on its biggest profit margin, software to pick up the slack.
If you know the long term prospects of inari will no longer be an increase in sales from broadcom ( as announced by Apple), then you need to also look at the qualitative factors of buy and hold into INARI and thus INSAS.
Otherwise holding on to insas over 3 years is going to prove to be a very unproductive affair, and you will not have the courage to buy deep, throw everything into INSAS when it was selling at 0.35.
I am willing to throw large amounts into GKENT buying at lows because I know the long term prospects.
Now, you bought at gkent at 0.46. sold at 0.52 ( 10% gain wow). Then it subsequently went up to 0.72.
What do you do now? Do you buy INSAS? GKENT? What defines your investing principles? Past results and assets? Or future growth prospects?

Dear Philip,
Latest on Inari:
https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/brighter-mediumterm-prospects-inari-broadcom-rf-agreements
Upgrade to buy with a lower target price (TP) of RM1.50: Inari Amertron Bhd’s share price has plunged by about 30% from its January peak, in tandem with market correction. Although near-term volatility will likely persist for the second to third quarter of 2020 (2Q-3Q20), medium-term prospects for Inari are brighter and more secured now after its key client, Broadcom, signed multi-year agreements with a US smartphone manufacturer to supply radio frequency (RF) chips up to 2023.
Key risks to our view include a significant slowdown in demand for smartphones that could affect sales for the RF segment. However, the impact may not be as severe due to rising RF content in smartphones. — AllianceDBS Research, April 8
Net profit: 2020(F): 2021(F): 2022(F)
RM million: 125: 207: 238
Thank you
P/S: So what will be Gkent long term prospect after LRT3 and MRT2 completed in 5 year time?

for buy and hold I guess quality is important
for trading nowadays, I guess no quality is best...........

The required content of rf on 5g phone is almost double on 4g phones. Also even though apple is biggest contributor to broadcom, they also sell rf chips to other smartphone players like huawei. The only rf chip players so far is broadcom, skywork, qorvo. in term of innovative and quality, skywork and qorvo is still far away from broadcom other from their cheaper price (mainly use on budget phones). broadcom rf is still very niche on premium clients selling premium products. The rf chip future isn't as dark on broadcom as most of their rf are only for smartphones now. In future 5g iot will drive more beyond smartphones to automotive, pcs or laptops, meters and so many possibilities. Inari will no doubt benefits contents require grow exponentially. In fact, what inari management foresee their rf orders will double within years are not possibility, but certainty.

Fyi osat means outsourced assembly and test.
So if you are a major manufacturer you would look to these things:
1. Outsource to the nearest supply chain to your production center
2. Outsource to the cheapest source.
3. Outsource to the highest quality supplier.
4. Outsource to the best r&d supplier.
5. Outsource to a related/stable/political source ( subsidiary).
This is how I would start my qualitative scuttlebutt OSAT companies if I am looking to invest in one for the long term.
Which does inari, vitrox and others fall into?

if everyone thinks like u, there will be no OSATs in Malaysia.........thankfully, they are many and they provide good employment in Malaysia.
