90% of the time, 90% of the investors lose 90 % of their money

go figure it out. and we dun need evidence. its up to u to believe or not.

Mr Kcchongnz,can u please calculate for us the intrinsic value for Focus Lumber?

Posted by popo92 > May 25, 2016 05:43 PM | Report Abuse
Kc, so far my fundamental philosophy on flbhd has not changed yet. Current price 2.04-2.07 already provide me enough margin of safety to sleep well. Mind sharing your price tag for peace of mind too? :)

While I do have an estimate of Focus Lumber intrinsic value, It is unwise to publish here for a few reasons.

Its share price can be volatile because of its low liquidity, coupled with substantial holding by some short-term traders, some of whom have huge margin. If the market turns bad, the fall of its price can be ugly in the short term because of margin calls, even if its intrinsic value is high, which is suitable for long term investor.

Some of them with some sort of "Golden rule" may also just dump the share without understanding or bothering what causes the drop in profit.

It is not good to invest in this share for short term due to the above reasons, though long term investing in it may be good.

If USD strengthen, its product will appear cheap in USD term and it may be able to sell more as most of its products go to US.

KC, i agreed and respect that its unwise for you to publish your intrinsic value for reasons. And i couldn't agree more with your concerns with low liquidity, existing of short-term traders, "believers", downside of margin calls and "golden rule" players. However, I find it hard to resist myself from this cash cow bargain. Any advises for me?

"Cash cow bargain"? I kind of agree with you. But note these again

"low liquidity, existing of short-term traders, "believers", downside of margin calls and "golden rule" players."

However, you don't have to play in their field. Instead, focus on the business, treat buying a stock as investing in part of a business, oh yes, for longer term.

Focus Lumber. It's a plywood and veneer factory. A smallish operation.
I have posted here several times....such a company , after one or two good years will still be the same company subjected to the same limitations of raw materials, logs, labour, commodity price of its products, it's a commodity company. There would be no transformation.
A closer look at this results shows that although profits exploded , there have been no volume growth......none at all. All the profit growth in the good years were a result of better prices and weaker ringgit.

Then, there are the sifus who like to look at cash in the balance sheet and calculate cash per share as if it give them margin of safety......


All I know is , is that there's lots of false prophets.

I thought that he has been very unfairly treated by your clan, of which you are the leader.

Kyy jump into Focus big time and also promotes Focus in I3.....that is his prerogative......people like to promote what they have bought and believe in, that is very natural and the purpose of i3 in the first place.

The only difference is he got a few more zeroes in his cheques.

Stockmanmy, if you happens to dive into timber logs industry in Malaysia that will be a tougher story. the fact is timber logs industry are not transparent in Malaysia, period. Yes, all commodity companies are facing the same commodity prices competition due to currency flotation these days and labour problems given by Malaysia governments. We can see focus lumber are doing work to face these problems already, efficient or not time should be given to prove. Sales volume is actually higher not only merely with better selling prices and wreaking of ringgit. We could all agree higher profit were derived from weaker ringgit thou but export companies do not rely only with forex transaction. A weaker ringgit is a bonus to them. sifus who like to track at cash in balance sheets are true investors who want companies generate true cashflow from inner side not from borrowings and huge debts. What makes focus lumber attractive is not profits prophets...

2)"Super investor is one with a few more zeroes in their cheques compared to mine." who is so poor that what he has is just that

FLBhd achieved all these beautiful numbers due to d appreciation of USD last year. The latest rate has plunged to 3.99. Moreover they don't have double tax deduction anymore. These two factors alone could slash their profit to how it was before d USD appreciated in Aug 2015.

Macro economic thingy is hard to predict. Hence I tend to ignore this unpredictable and uncontrollable things and focus on the fundamentals.

I think the drop of Focus Lumber these days is more due to selling of certain golden rule trader.
