Good article! Master Chong, what is your next superstock?

Posted by Jeffbkt > 2016-06-21 22:44 | Report Abuse

Hi KC, I have no doubt on the value investment approach with regard to invest in good FA stock with bargain or discount. However, holding a portfolio for a very long period of time may not be consistently increase the return Year on Year. Your portfolio may return 300% in 2015 but this year the portfolio return may be reduced to 200% which means this year your net return is -ve 100%. So comparing the buying price vs. the current price is not a good measurement if the same portfolio is not able to generate compounded profit Year on Year.

I do understand that in value investment, we only sell when the price is > intrinsic value but in reality not all stock will achieve the target price due to whatever reason such as we may over estimate or due to market sentiment turn bearish. So just wonder how you manage your portfolio in this case to achieve the compounded year on year profit.

Coastal is definitely one of my stock picks along the years. It did has its price dropped badly. I still have a few more which lost money. However, they were all not meant to be in the three portfolios posted.

The first two portfolios were (officially)posted way before that and it was by a third party, Tan KW. The last one was just the recent one; not supposed to be in a portfolio too, but just a summary of my write-up end of last year.

I am amazed you never follow me to buy any stock in these three portfolios which made big money. Instead you followed me blindly to buy a few, and so surprisingly, all are losing stocks.

What big sin have you committed that you were published like that?

What makes you think as such? I do know most people reshuffling their portfolios frequently but the results were not good compared with if they just stay put with their stocks. Investing doesn't mean there must be constant actions.

BTW, the portfolios were put up to show others, may be not you, that value investing for long term works.

it is always great to learn from the experiences of long term value investors, thanks.

one question I always have though is - if value investing really is what all its touted to be - how come still very, very, very few people in the world are successful with it?

It is surely not that hard to learn value investing with all the books and articles out there, the principles and calculations are generally simple, but why are not more people using it, or more importantly become successful with it?

Anybody has any theory?

Raider says value investment is more towards contraian investment...by right if everyone embrace value investment....then likely they will not many value buys loh....!!

that's is the reason why people like kc keep touting value investment, people that heed his call is not that high mah...!!

Actually value investment adopters are minorities loh...!!

I must also add.... that the reason for the erratic price fluctuations are because of investors calculation of the IV changes as per the recent events - qtrly results...macro..and micro business factors...and we cannot say for sure they are making a mistake in their calculations / pricing.

So...the only opportunity/edge is from the 'intelligence + knowledge level' one has over the other in accurately determining the IV.

All those historical studies from KC..perhaps indicate that people tend to overly depend on 'growth' factors affecting the IV calculation and end up predicting it more incorrectly than those who rely more on the already available cash stock, business quality historically and bought it with sufficient MOS.

So...its up to one actually...to rely more on highly speculative...high risk high gain within a short time...or a low risk reasonable gain with lots of patience...depending on their own competence.

In summary...to win...you need to play "in a game of your own competence".

Posted by stockmanmy > 2016-06-22 14:06 | Report Abuse

the reason for the erratic price fluctuations are because of nervousness...Comcorp style nervousness.

And such nervousness is infectious. ...the virus grows exponentially.


But growth stocks that deliver growth are the first to reach new highs on rebounds, strongest, earliest rebounds, outpacing and out beating all those boring value stocks that people falsely think gives them margin of safety.


In other words, growth stocks gives you the better gains, faster gains and less time spend in detention.

stockman agree with you....it all depends on how good is their maths...and the same way...like you said...how good is one's 'gut feeling' or 'smelling' sensitivity / accuracy...

you have to play the game of your own competence.

Guess KC 's advise would be applicable for the general young investors who has the 'time to compound' on their side.

from young everyone tells you about the certainty of maths.

I want to tell people the uncertainty of maths when applied to investments.

Posted by probability > 2016-06-22 15:17 | Report Abuse

the is no question on certainty of maths...there is only an uncertainty of equations you use and the variables you had considered and the magnitude you had placed on each variable.

Some maths equations are so precise that you can predict on the dot how to strike off a plane flying across Ukraine airspace 10,000 meters away.

To be fair, you don't need to be bothered about his portfolio performance. Because his portfolio performance is not the point in his articles. Besides, if he has 10 apples but few of them are spoiled, he still gains as long as his winners are more than his losers.

What you want is to learn how to fish from him, not for him to provide fish for you. There is no free lunch in the world, it's not a matter of whether he is rich or not. You want something, you have to give something. It's called the "the law of equivalent exchange".

Value investing is propagated by KC not invented by KC and this method is proven right in long run through facts, studies and researches. Thus, instead of wasting time to test your own method, why not we just humbly learn from the wise one, and KC to me is indeed the wisest one among all. "Learning, learning and learning" no matter at what ages, no matter how good you are, things change, keep learning is the only way we avoid being obsoleted

Heard so much about value investing and IV of late, may I ask adv fm so many sifus here and KC in particular when is the right time to sell....

1) oni if the share price hitting the IV?
2)How about the share price has gone up 20% but yet to achieve the IV?
3)Wud it be better if the share price has gone up say 20% from the purchase price I sell if off and re-buy it again when it dropped back to the initiate purchase price and sell if off again when hitting 20% rather than waiting it to achieve the IV?

The sum of 20% profit from the 2 purchases may be close to the IV and my profit turn around will be faster?

Not sure why your BA is so great. Wish to know more what is the difference from FA.

Can't stand FA without your apa ini BA?

Why don't you start to give course on your "Tripod" then?
