There is no one method to skin a cat. There are many roads to China. Therefore, there are many strategies employed profitably in investing.

kcchong, i would rather that you just share the facts and leave emotion out. It mars your professionalism.

Rose,

Thanks for your comment. But is there any emotion about my article? Isn't it healthy to discuss about the merits and shortcomings of various philosophies, methodologies, strategies about investing which the article is about, instead of talking about who is rich or poor, and who is stupid or clever, good or bad?

I have not used his strategy in creating my portfolio. However, you do acquire a lot of good principles of value investing reading through Joel Greenblatt's book. It was nice to see KCChong creating portfolios based on this magic formula of Joel Greenblatt, prospectively, and showing that he has profited handsomely over the last 2 or 3 years. Thanks for sharing generously, KC.

Hi Kc Chong

May i know your oppinion of Bjcorp as it has a pe of only 1.78?
It would really really help many investors if you could provide some insights.

Thanks

skyz, I would say the same to KYY. Ideally i3 is a platform to share knowledge and experiences so that all may benefit in one way or another. There are all sorts of opinions. We take what suits us and leave aside what we do not agree. There is no need to be emotional. That's my 2 cents' worth.

Don't know much about Bjcorp. I normally go far far away from this type of stock; huge assets and huge debts, multi and complicated business, questionable management and major shareholders, opaque, all kinds of related party transactions etc.

I have been questioning the E in the PE ratio. A glance at its financial statement shows one-time off item makes up its major "profit", hence the poor operation cash flow.

One may be tempted to invest based on its seemingly high NTA. Alas, most of its assets is made up of "intangible".

Posted by paperplane2016 > 2015-12-30 13:23 | Report Abuse

Kc, you are wrong on Bjcorp!
It is holding company of all its clans. So it should be applied 25% discount for holding company?
But then its assets is really good and undervalued deeply.

NTA 1.60, now mkt price RM0.38.

Doesn't this apply as graham undervalued stocks? Using strictly VALUE Investing, this is a hell of a buy for Graham, just like KUCHAI, PRKCorp, FACBIND, etc.

YOu can judge a stock using your perception tht VT is a questionalble mgt. This is not how GRAHAM teach us.

paperplane, ys you are right, I may be wrong about BJCorp as I have said, I don't know about it, but I don't want to invest in it for the reasons given by me. Hence I didn't spend time on it.

But bear in mind of a couple of comments

1) What is the normalized earnings you get to obtain the PE ratio? A one-time gain in asset disposal must be excluded.

2) Its net asset backing per share may be high, but you need to check its net tangible asset backing per share if you want to look at asset to invest.

Posted by Icon8888 > 2015-12-30 14:27 | Report Abuse

BJCorp is a dinasour that will underperform for the next 5 years at least, period

Hi Newbhere, thanks for your comment. I remember you. Good that you are no more "annoyed" by my straight-to-the-point, "you-believe-as-sacastic" comments. I mean no malice.

When I write an article, I like when people read, and comment, whether it is for or against. We deliberate, argue about subject, not name calling and personal attack. If you are sarcastic, I can be too,but I just take it as some fun. I just don't take this personally. It is better than to get angry about it. It is just that sometimes our human nature, it is hard to control anger such as when people call you "stupid", "bullshit" etc. without basis.

So please comment, even it is against what I write. I will still appreciate.

"New" Material?

In fundamental investing, it is evergreen, in my opinion; buying good stuff at reasonable or better still cheap price, or buying mediocre stuff at cheap price. Good fundamental investing follow a few core principles as I have been writing about. If you read some of those investment books, they talk about the same principles and methodologies over and over again.

Sound boring? That is sound investment, in my opinion.

May be you refer to "new" as new stocks recommendation?

Sorry, I have no tips.

NTPM is a good company. It is listed in my first portfolio posted in i3investor in January 2013.

You just have to check if its price is right. One way to do it is to try to do some simple valuation based on my article here:

Which is MORE THAN EXCELLENTE !! To adjust back to Sharpe ratio 2, the market will price back PMCorp to 22 sen = another 4 sen gain or 22% extra upside ! FUYOH ! WASEH ! Cipet beli aaaaaaAAAAAHH !

Everyday learn new thing!

paperplane, icon8888 is right. There are huge amount of resources in the net regarding this apa ini Sharpe Ratio.

I am actually quite good at this apa ini Sharpe Ratio, Treynor ratio, Jensen alpha and whatnot.

But my opinion is don't bother about these ratios. They are blunt, not sharp.

It is much better to learn ebit enterprise ratio, cash ratio, ROE, ROIC and other ratios.

no lar ... it is not that we are anti-bank borrowing ... but as a certain type of investors, we prefer company with less borrowing. We call it "margin of safety" mar. If certain unpredictable unfortunate thing happen, usually it is the company with "a lot of cash, minimal borrowing" will survive. Rule no. 1 .. is dun lose money (when un-predictable unfortunate time happen) mar. Therefore making money come second lor. That to say, nothing wrong if certain people prefer to invest in "little cash + a lot borrowing" or another group which invest in "a lot of cash + a lot of borrowing." These group can make money too if they enter at correct price and correct time. No doubt. It is just a preference and policy of masing-masing. Group one have certain belief and it is justifiable belief. Group 2 also can make money, but it need more tarraly type of work. As leno has mention many times ... nothing wrong with each group. But matters become weird when different group members cannot IGNORE other group club posting or principles. It is like going to mosque and getting angry because u are chrismas fellow, and vise versa. HAHAHAH ... u see leno go into what ever club also sound veli veli panlai one. Why ? Because leno is veli veli panlai mar .... AHAHAHAHAHAHAH !
