growthinvestor, i never say growth investors didn't make any money, did you see any 'growth' in my writing?

All im saying is, call whatever yourself you like, if you are following people blindly, i dont even need to ask how much you have made over past 5 years, because very likely you wouldnt have a clue, cause you didnt keep a record.

The argument ultimately lead to inevitable question;

Business has four cycles namely - start-up, grow, cash cow and dead/rejuvenate.

Which cycle is VS Industry in at the moment?

Is VS Industry to be classified and analysed as growth stock, value stock or gambling stock? An analyst employs value investing formulas on growth stock will obtain garbage answer and decision. Garbage in garbage out!

VS Indsutry business is in growth phase basing on EPS and profit.

KC is a good man, unselfish, very generous to share his knowledge but not so diplomatic, I don't like to ask him or talk to him
I did not pay him a single cent , I learnt from his write-up
before I follow other people calls to invest, now I can decide which one is best for me with the knowledge I had gained from him.
honestly speaking , now I am confident I have no problem to get at least 15% capital a year gain plus 5 digits dividend to spend
should I not grateful to KC
why should I invest in VS with fear of what would happen to my money if the big kaki start to unload

do not tell me who is right or wrong, tell me how to invest to live well

you can buy SCIENTEX and sit on 4% for one year while us, a more short term but cyclical player, catch on vs, that could make us 30% in a year

The shares of a company represents ownership. Value investors know this phrase by heart. It's best to stop argument as Koon Yew Yin is clear winner on VS. Admit mistake and swallow your pride is the key to successful investing.

Hi Alpha, I had scientex since Sep 2012, i bought it at RM2.47, the dividend return is 8.9% of my original investment capital per year even if the share price never move.

I like this sentece "Whichever you follow you could make money, you just have to know what majority of the people like in this kind of environment " - Everyone know who are the majority. So does the majority make the most money, or the minority?

How about DKSH? Do you declare winner when the price is on track to hit RM10 last time? or you declare it now at RM4?

Let's be honest, there is no winner. If you buy something at an 'overvalued' price, considered that you hold it for long term, you return will just be lower than those that buy something at an 'undervalued' price.

What needs to be hyped about VS has all already been build into the price, if you buy it right now, it is very likely your return will be poor in the long term, if you buy it from where it is 50% before, then you are likely to do well in the long term. Simple as that.

None will ask to buy IFCA like me at 40cents, anyone? and ride all the way to RM1.80, when it collapsed, even I sold at RM1.20, I still make a decent 200%

How to make sure SCIENTEX goes up to RM20? maybe you pray for valuecap to sailing, if not it will only be a dream

It all depends on your risk and reward, if you are so active in forum, you should not look for safe shares recommended by Kc Chong, those shares you buy and you can sleep well and don't look at the market, yes, but you can't beat a 300% return like IFCA

I bought VS too, I have bought it before Koon's recommendation. However, this time I will have to disagree with Koon on this article. VS is a good or not, depends on which area you look at it. Cash flow, especially operating cash flow is very important and many has use it instead or earning to calculate IV. KC Chong did not predict anything, he just highlighted this is just not his cup of tea. It is a free forum, as long as there are good knowledge sharing, nothing is bullshit. Only those ppl that keep on giving TP without any sense or shout to sell without any facts are bullshit.

Be fair to KC, he does not recommend me to buy any shares, he just use it to explain his theory, do not get him wrong

scientx is one of the counter he quoted, I bought at 5.1 and sold at 6.8 , a reasonable gain of 30% with the knowledge I learnt from him.
I also had made reasonable gain on frontkn, superln, prolexus, IQ, .. he did not recommend these counter to me , but I know these are value buys with the knowledge I had gained from him,

one thing that I feel uneasy is that at the current high price of VS, why KYY still keep on promoting VS as if it still can go up very much more, may be his intention is just to prove to the whole world he is right not a buy call

Alpha, from the sound of it, 200% per year shouldnt be that hard for you, and more so irony when you say 'if you are so active here, you shouldnt looking for safe shares', considered that to achieve an outrageous return like 200% consistently year in year out, one must need a lot of knowledge and skills, and i believe being active on forum has no correlation with making 200%, if indeed you can achieve that consistently for 10 years, you should have 2000%.

If you believe jumping in and out can easily net you 100-200% per year, let's just say everyone outside your fence is trying to do that as well. Whether you can achieve that or not, only you know your own record. Superinvestors making 20-30% in the long run is considered rare breed. Maybe you're the rare breed so rare you can do 100% in the long run.

Growthinvestor, i dont see how it is contradicting. First, KC intrinsic value is his own, nothing to do with mine. 2nd, his IV is at RM3+ and i say RM3+ is good for long term, whats wrong with that? Buying it at fair value, if you want.

If stock A will go from RM1 to RM2 in 10 years, means if you hold for 10 years, you will earn average of 10% a year. IF you buy at fair value, you will earn 10% in long run, if you buy at overvalued, you will earn less than 10%. Simple as that. This is a scenario considered you dont sell but hold for long term.

A stock at its intrinsic value/fair value means margin of safety is closed. If you believe VS at RM3+ is good long term holding, you're saying KC's analysis on VS has been dead wrong.

How do you know VS at current price RM7+ is not fair value?
How do you know VS business can't improve and grow from current situation?

Hi Growthinvestor & iiinvestsmart, if you are switching in between ID please just say so, no need to behalf here and there.

Good long term holding is relative understand bro? You can buy something at overvalued price and in the long term earn CAGR 5%, it is still called 'good' if besides FD 4%, you can't find anything that can deliver 6% in this universe, get it bro?

I believe current price isn't fair value because historical ROE level does not justify current multiples over book value; 10 years historical record shows poor FCF, low barrier to entry thus does not justify multiples over BV, power of buyers will surpress margin and reduce return.

I never say that they can't grow from here, but rest assured at the current price you are 50% speculating the future of VS 50% anchoring to present value of the business. The bet is yours. If you want to earn avg 5% in the long term, this is probably a good price to buy now. If you want to earn avg >30% a year in the long term, this is not worth the chance.

Warren Buffett’s appendix to the fourth revised edition of The Intelligent Investor describes a contest in which each of the 225 million Americans starts with $1 and flips a coin once a day. The people who get it right on day one collect a dollar from those who were wrong and go on to flip again on day two, and so forth. Ten days later, 220,000 people have called it right ten times in a row and won $1,000.

Buffett writes, “They may try to be modest, but at cocktail parties they will occasionally admit to attractive members of the opposite sex what their technique is, and what marvellous insights they bring to the field of flipping.”

After another ten days, we’re down to 215 survivors who’ve been right 20 times in a row and have each won $1 million. They write books titled How I Turned a Dollar into a Million in Twenty Days Working Thirty Seconds a Morning and sell tickets to seminars.

“Worse yet,” Buffett writes, “they’ll probably start jetting around the country attending seminars on efficient coin-flipping and tackling skeptical professors with, “If it can’t be done, why are there 215 of us?”

If you don’t know how to separate a good process from a bad one, you’ll surely fall for these ‘efficient coin-flipping’ wizards.

Learn to focus on the process more than the outcome. Use common sense and your own thinking to filter out the outcome-centric hindsight-heavy theories.

Hmmn while I have utmost respect for Mr Koon for his charities to help the poor students and his view for a better bolihland but to accuse Kc of bullshitting n misleading is sad to say the least :( especially when Kc is always unselfishly sharing value investing for many here which benefitted many readers including me. Those are strong words itself n are more applicable to many SKL here who constantly shout sell/buy without good basis. Kc has proven his method does work and his record in the past few years speaks for itself.

I'm no where near KC in terms of dissecting the figures but if I were to look at VS the main growth n expansion coming mostly from main buyer Keurig I will be a bit worried at the flat sales as competition creeping up

http://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/15/10/5879913/how-much-worse-can-it-get-at-keurig-green-mountain-wedbu?utm_campaign=partner_feed&utm_source=marketwatch.com&utm_medium=partner_feed&utm_content=analyst_ratings_page


The shares price itself has taken a beating becoz of above
http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/Stock/GMCR?countrycode=US


but is this the worst since much euphoria especially VS holders about the launch of the Kold machine

http://www.cnet.com/products/keurig-kold/

and with reviews for Kold cup so frozen KOLD I'll be pretty worried if I were to hold or buy VS but since u bought at very low price u have the buffer but if they're not doing well with your massive shareholdings where will you find the buyers when u want to get out - definitely not the kechi mais in i3 LOL n am sure the insiders will be the first to bail out once they find the orders r not coming in.

something further to ponder - see if it makes sense - no accounting jargon here - juz simple math - basic logic - At 370USD for a machine that is bulky,noisy n slow n not even can imitate the original taste of Coke 100% how well this can do? My distant relative there tell me that The Cokes when it's on sale every week at different stores is only 99 cents for 2 liter bottle n this one cost 5 bucks to make 32 oz n if my math is correct that he can buy 1 bottle of 2 liters(Appr 67oz) ORIGINAL Coke for 99 cents straight off the shelf but have to spend 10 bucks to get 64 oz making something that is not even close to the original taste n u dun have to be Sherlock to tell u that this will not be a Hot seller since it's so KOLD :) unless they have many of Aunty Rosie there who can afford this kind of FAD and how many Aunty Rosie is there even in US LOL.in terms of size - yes plenty but am not talking about the size of $$$$$$$ here LOL

so now assuming the KOLD machine does not do well which looks like it based on above where will be the growth coming from since basically the high growth n the expansion was based on Keurig KOLD orders? The Hot machine is pretty saturated n increasing competitions will basically eat into them more. will VS be able to find another new keurig to keep the factory running? who knows maybe they can or Kold machine success cannot be ruled out entirely despite the disadvantages however unlikely since this world got many goats LOL then I will be another ignorant who missed the boat but I will still cheer u for your donations and betterment for the country and hope u cash more but not for the disrespectful accusations of Kc which all value investors here appreciate his honesty and his tireless effort to share his vast knowledge.
