I was the auditor for PJD when it was acquired and the former auditor for OSK. I know him very well.

I just don't care. in fact, i think don't him being in charge is a negative. I would prefer Warren Buffet, or Lim Wee Chai. But there are very few ceo's like that.

If the price stays down, i can just keep buying.

If the company is paying me 6.2% per year to wait, and there is no deterioration in fundamentals.

I can wait for 50 years. Not a problem.

You calculate wrong.

lets say price does not move for 80 years. But the dividend remains at 6.2%. All dividend is reinvested. Say i invest Rm20,000.

By the end of 80 years, i would have RM2,115,920. 105,800% return. Not a bad result at all.

Considering the goal is to,

1) Not lose money
2) Not forget rule no 1.

For a guy with ben graham as your dp, you seem to have forgotten that.

On your ekovest, your highway makes net after interest RM8mil, you sure the whole highway worth Rm2.8 bil boh? at that price 477 P/E for the highway or 0.02% return.

Tbf, there is a really good chance that mcuh of the debt is not yet utilized for duke 3 etc. but still... :)

Please, ACCA is for noobs. Hahaha. I come with a higher power.

If you think all auditors are like me, your opinion of an auditor in general is far too high. :)

Most auditors are actually like the general i3 population, gamblers in the market, often failing their calculation of odds and EV completely.

At best, the companies they buy wont go bankrupt, they just fail really badly at the valuation. And suffer permanent loss of capital. They are also often not good judges of quality and moat of business, unless this is a topic they are interested in.

Annjoo, owes 800mil to the bank. The current earning they have is due to tariffs and China cutting down capacity.

Given their record earnings, they will still need at least 4 years to payback the debt.

Entreprise value over earnings is about 10 times.

I think paying 10 times record earnings for a steel company wit zero moat is a fools errand once expected value over the long term is taken into consideration.

A possible punt though, but I'm too lazy to punt and predict prices.

That is why i don't manage your fund, or funds of people who have completely different philosophy compared to me.

What is a stock if not for a fractional piece of a business?

Are you telling me, if you had RM1.2bil right now in cash, you would buy out the entire company of annjoo, and take on RM800mil in debt?

A company in a cyclical industry with very little moat? The moment the tariff is gone, or china decide to restart some steel factory, the company will lose money until vomit blood.

If the profit drop by half next quarter how? The price drop by 30% straight away. You dare to double up? I know i wouldnt.

Convince me on why ANNJOO is better than say, RCECAP or OSK. If you are right, i will be very eager to change my mind. No point having an ego in the market, the goal is to know whats right, not to be right.


Find out what?

“The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.”

― G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

I am fully aware investing is far beyond just numbers on a piece of paper. But i don't see how the thesis of ANNJOO is attractive to me.

As a punt, maybe. But remember MASTEEL, HENGYUAN etc etc

Spend more time to study China's policy in steel production.

As long as it can do well till 2020 then it will justify my investment in Annjoo now

Icon888 recommended Hengyuan at RM6 to RM8. Davidtslim, from RM9 to RM13. Stockraider from RM6 to RM19. Probability from RM 8 to RM19.

Don’t even need to talk about Masteel.

If you followed any of their calls and still held, you would have suffered massive losses. Especially since you are likely to average up and down. Stockraider after selling at RM15. Started buying again and now have average cost of RM10.

Yes, you are right, buying cyclical stocks are the bottom and selling near the top is the way to make money, but that must mean you are able to tell when is the top and when is the bottom.

Nobody recommended HY at RM2, everyone recommended at RM10- Rm18.

At the bottom of a cyclical stock, people don’t think of it as cyclical, but as hopeless. Lionind can hit RM0.2, Masteel RM0.3 pre-split.

At the peak of a cyclical stock, people think of it as brighter future all the way. Hengyuan can hit RM19, with people thinking crack spread fat forever, Masteel RM1.8, thinking construction will boom forever and steel price forever high.

Don’t forget it’s a commodity. Its price has no edge or moat.

Now, what is very clear to me, is that to an extent property development companies are cyclical. And right now, people think property market is dead or need a few years to restart, when they are all still very profitable, profit drop from peak is less than 20% from some, but prices have dropped more than 60-70%

Except, business optimism is up 24% in Q2. Optimism and hope towards our nation is high, people with money all want to come back.

But the stocks are still selling as if they are close to bankrupt and people want to liquidate.

Looks like the bottom of a cyclical stock to me. And I will buy all the way down.

Posted by Jon Choivo > 2018-07-21 13:08 | Report Abuse

CharlesT,

Fair point. Why do you think Annjoo is worth RM3.5 to Rm4?

More precisely why would you pay RM2 billion to RM2.2 billion, and take on RM760 million in net debt, for a steel company that makes RM 200 million, on the high end of the cycle.

So in effect, you are paying RM2.76 billion to RM2.96 billion for a company that makes RM200 million.

Using current price, if you were buy this company in full, you will need 15 years to make back you money, and this is assuming their record earnings remain.

I am curious to hear your thinking. I hope you have some incisive insight that proves me wrong. As this would provide me an invaluable opportunity to learn.



Charles, I'm always open to new investors, but like i said, only the right kind of investors. And the right kind of investors, is the kind of understand my investment philosophy, the pros and cons.

If they cannot understand, or they think it does not make sense, like you do. I strongly suggest they find the fund manager that suits them, or buy the index. Not public bank unit trust as the fees are too high.

Historically the assets of steel companies sell for far below book value. For an easy example, sell megasteel.

Occasionally though, you can find someone willing to pay a high price for these assets, or at least assets producing commodities, like saprng. Which is in big trouble.

Wawasan 2020. Well, i'd rather buy more property development companies, its cheaper and more valuable, and will definitely rise in tandem with the economy.

What if Malaysia remove the steel tariff in order for us to have access to cheaper steel and get to wawasan 2020. Mai habis liao?
