1."As a general tactic we bought into weakness and sold into strength."

Low stock prices should never trigger automatic buy signals. For some of these companies, more dismal days lie ahead. Buy, in the course of my career, few days have passed when the new low list has not included one or two solid companies worth investigating. The goal is to find earnings growth capable of capturing the market's attention once the climate shifts."
5. Windsor (Fund managed by John Neff) gained an edge in cyclical stocks by staking out positions when big Wall Street firms were advising their clients to wait and see."
6. "If you can find a dull business that makes money, it is less likely to attract competition."
7. "Windsor never fancy, fad-driven, or resigned to market performance. We followed one durable investment style whether the market was up, down, or indifferent. These were its principal elements:
* Low price-earnings (p/e) ratio. * Fundamental growth in excess of 7 percent. * Yield protection (and enhancement, in most cases). * Superior relationship of total return to p/e paid. * No cyclical exposure without compensating p/e multiple. * Solid companies in growing fields. * Strong fundamental case.
8. Woebegone regions have always lured me, for one very compelling reason: Swept up by flavors of the moment, prevailing wisdom frequently undervalues good companies. Many-- but not all---that languish out of favor deserve better treatment. Despite their solid earnings, they are rejected and ignored by investors caught in the clutch of groupthink.
9. Brand-name growth stocks ordinarily command the highest p/e ratios. Rising prices beget attention, and vice versa---but only to a point. Eventually, their growth rate can diminish as results revert towards normal. Maybe not in all cases, but often enough to make a long-term bet. Bottom line: I would't want to get caught in a rush for the exit, much less get left behind. Only when big growth stocks fall into the dumper from time to time as I inclined to pick them up --- and even then, only in moderation.
10. Rather than load up on hot stocks along with the crowd, we took the opposite approach. Windsor didn't engage in the market's clamor for fashionable stocks; we exploited it. Our strength always depended on coaxing overlooked, out-of-favor stocks to move up from undervalued to fairly valued. We aimed for easier and less risky appreciation, and left "greater fool" investing to others.
This strategy gave Windsor's performance a twofold edge (1) excellent upside participation and (2) good protection on the downside.
If you buy stocks when they are out of favor and unloved, and sell them into strength when other investors recognize their merit, you'll often go home with handsome gains."

Lk036,
I have checked up on ganoderma
Yes, there is no human cure for it.
What can be done:
1) Since it occurs in older mature trees maybe it's time for replanting?
2) Try to separate other trees not infected from the ones with ganoderma.
Calvin, nowadays not only happen on old tree. 10 yrs tree already start hv tis problem. Worse still if the land hv been plant oil palm before. I guess soon Indonesia will hv tis problem seriously that will affected yield. By then, oil palm should shooting up n maintain at high price.
30 stocks, a retailer will be good if he can make 10% return a year.
If he wants to be rich, wants the stockmarket to make a difference, be like a KYY, he cannot start with 30 stocks.....He has to focus on 5 to 10 stocks.

I think KYY started with these first 3 stocks in i3 forum if I am not mistaken:
JTiasa, Mudajaya & Xinquan
From these 3 the losses will be 70%, 80% & 90%. So just at the very start so much capital is wiped off. How to recover back & think of making a killing in stock?
If a share drops by half 50% of Capital is gone! While it takes 100% gain to get even
Example
Rm1.00 share
If it drops by 50%
So Rm1.00 - 50 cts = 50 cts (Loss 50%)
But to get back to original price of Rm1.00 from 50 cts
So 50 cts + 50 cts = Rm1.00 (Increase of 100%)
So Rm1.00 going down to 50 cts is a loss of 50%
And 50 cts going back up to Rm1.00 is a 100% gain.
From here the need to protect capital is FIRST! Earnings will be secondary!
Not all who followed KYY succeeded. Those who chased JTiasa, Xinquan, Mudajaya, Gadang at top prices might even go bankrupt by now!!

10 reason buy Hibiscus 1) Opec and non Opec agreed to cut oil production (6 mths) 2) After 6 month, I believe they will cut more 3) Hisbiscus 3000 bpd now 4) Target 10000 bpd 5) Hibiscus cost at below 19 6) Management target to reduce the cost to below 15 pb 7) Oil price now 54 pb 8) Company continue 2Q profit 9) Free debt company 10) Last tranches pp at 29c
Buy what you know best yourselves. As for Great Raider he is already a millionaire with 8 digit figures I think. So he should know what is best for himself.
As for Calvin I have chosen DRBHicom
1) Year 2017 is Internet ECommerce Digital Year proclaimed by Pm Najib 2) March 2017 is JackMa launching E Free Trade Zone & JV with POS/DRB 3) GE14 is now on! And DRB is a GLC Linked Stock!
