I'm very wary about companies that pay dividend from debt, such as the recent dividend from Southern Steel. Interim dividend was announced despite sharply higher borrowing. It's true that the long steel industry is finally turning around, but I'd rather if the company knock down their borrowing first. Having said that, I admire Hevea's persistence in paying down their USD denominated debt, at the time when USD is strengthening. If they have not done that and choose to pay out dividend instead, they would incur higher forex loss down the road.
Very true. Sustainable dividend is more important. one off high dividend can be paid out from borrowing. Also low PE doesn't tell the full story because can be manipulated. Nett Cash holding vis-a vis debt hard to cheat. Good free cashflow from operations hard to cheat.
KYY at one of AGM confronted with the Directors:- "You don't know how to run business. Why can't you borrow from bank and pay us dividend, if as what you said not able to take out money from China to do the same."
KYY never use his cow sense. If conman wanted to con you, sure he won't pay you money. Instead ask money from you via RI, no matter how paltry sum could be...........
Posted by cheated > Jul 23, 2017 09:44 PM | Report Abuse The way you replied meaning you really own FL? Why your blog above show you own none? That's why I said you are a cheat.
this post is about the few stocks posted in i3investor at the end of year 2015. there were only 5 stocks posted as summarized.
I have two more published portfolios in i3investor, plus one stock picks for my participants for the past one year.
For all the above, there are already about 30+ stocks.
I have already shown you the fantastic returns of those portfolios recently.
In addition, I have posted numerous analysis on hundreds of stocks scattered in i3investor.
So, you only found Focus Lumber which lost money, but did it?
By the way, whom you were cheated? Why do you come after me? How did I cheat you?
I wonder what is the level of your English proficiency. Did you pass LCE english?
The post asked a question,
[Focus Lumber announced its first quarter 2016 results ending 31st March 2016 on 20th May 2016. Its revenue jumped by 77% to RM53.3m and gross profit doubled to RM14.9m as compared to the corresponding period in 2015. However, its net profit remains flat at RM3.3m compared to the corresponding period the previous year. When compared to the preceding quarter, net profit sinks by 69% from an EPS of 10.4 sen to just 3.2 sen. As expected, the share price of focus Lumber sank by 33 sen, or 14% at the opening bell on 23rd May 2016. It closed at RM2.07 at the end of the day, for a loss of 11%, in just one day.
Is Focus Lumber worth investing with the steep correction of its price now?]
And you went to buy at RM2.07, and now you said you were cheated. OMG!
I learnt fast, but I let my practice guided me slowly.
For example, I use to trade daily when I was a greenhorn; I evolved slowly by trimming down my number of trades,,, Now I'm still doing sailang for 2-3 counters per year.
I opt to futhur trim down my trades to 2 counters only per year.. It suit me, I give my self to find the gem slowly and reducing my errors as I could.
If you are not interested in FL why bother to create blog on 24th May 2016 only to buy it on 1st Jan 2017. Why your blog wasn't created on 1st Jan 2017?

Beside that, I always trying to look for at least 2-3 con counters per year and study it . Of course , I'm recently learnt how traders react to such tragedy as well.
And chat with fellow Sifus in i3; most of them willing to share if we are genuinely. .
Less trade , and more time to study ... that keep me feel exciting about the traders & market.

My "blog" in i3investor was formed in 31st December 2013. I did not "create a blog" on 24th May 2016.
I have written and shared 291 articles, or 291 "threads" in i3investor. One of them was about Focus Lumber on24th May 2016. I have in fact share more of that before and after that, including one on 1st January 2017 for the stock pick in i3investor.
So, when I wrote about Focus Lumber has nothing to do with you.
No, I didn't buy Focus Lumber on 1st January 2017. By the way, when I bought it has nothing to do with you.
But if you were cheated buying Focus Lumber at RM3+ has nothing to do with me too.
Put it this way loh....!! The one who cheat "cheated" is KYY loh.....!! Raider remember KYY was promoting FLB strongly...saying strong cashflow, good earnings, dynamic investment but behind the scene KYY was selling loh....!!
PETALING JAYA: Investor Koon Yew Yin (pic) has emerged as a substantial shareholder in Focus Lumber Bhd since last month.
However, disclosure was only made yesterday, with filings showing that Koon had acquired a 6.71% stake, representing 6.93 million shares, in the Sabah-based hardwood manufacturer on April 11 at an undisclosed price.
Focus Lumber said it only received notification from Koon over his emergence as a substantial shareholder in the group on May 9.
Focus Lumber’s shares closed one sen higher yesterday at RM2.05.
Posted by stockmanmy > Jul 23, 2017 11:33 PM | Report Abuse KC is not responsible for KYY KC is maths teacher with loser attitude People with loser attitude can never make good money from stock market.
kc remains loser? You base on what to make that conclusion? Your panic moment? seX factor? Dynamite?
If you understand English, read these threads on the portfolios of stocks I have been holding, and check their returns, and evaluate yourself if I am a loser, rather than talking nonsense all the time. or is it you?
to me KC is a guru, he spotted magni and scientex. 2 wonderful counters. KC, nothing wrong being a math teacher, to me teacher is a highly respected profession. DR, CEO, lawyers etc are train by teachers no matter how high their position. Teacher may not make millions but they help many to make millions, let's don't forget their contribution.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
