U ask yourself, if buy insas at Rm 0.725 v Buy Nestle Rm 150.00...who is investment & who speculation leh ??

Yes u buy insas is investment at Rm 0.725 bcos got very big margin of safety as the valuation is Rm 2.50, Nett cash rich Rm 300m and Pe 6x loh..!!

Yes buy Nestle is speculation at Rm 150.00, no margin of safety & overvalue with Pe 50x....unable to justify very demanding value loh...!!

Thus it is not what share u buy is investment, it is whether got acceptable margin of safety, then it is investment like insas loh...!!<<<

kc...value here, value there , tp here, tp there, can make money meh?

margin of safety here and there , can make money meh?

The best margin of safety is actually FD.......fixed deposits
The next best margin of safety is most likely all the dead stocks....dead stock, almost by definition means buyers and sellers both exhausted. Dead stocks, no more volume for a long long time.....these are the typical margin of safety stocks.....traded far below NTA, traded mostly at low PEs.....and mostly low to very low quality stocks favoured by forum margin of safety exponents in i3....calvin and raider, and that novice sslee......can make money meh?

In my very long experience, most gruesome companies remain gruesome for a long time.

Turnarounds rarely turn, or abeit very slowly.

The catalyst must be certain, not just a speculation.

If you must play, be very sure of your entry point and also your exit.

Speculate if you must, do not be foolish to make big bet and never add more to it (unlike Mr1015 in QL).

Also, you are unlikely to get fabulously rich on speculative returns.

Calvin knows too.

I dont think it is justifiable to compare VT with topglove and AA bosses. VT is of much lower class, with bleak future ahead. Seeing many here cursing VT, i pity those holding Bj share while working in the company. A good business normally would have employees subscribing its shares and growing wealth with the company. Robin and the rest of second generation are extremely weak personnel, hopefully not the Karma for VT.

1. Buffets investment too big loh..!!
Not suitable to buy huge undervaluation small cap like insas loh..!!

Buying good huge undervalue companies when the headline news is bad is the hardest thing to do (psychologically), but it's the simplest way to buy low. And buying low makes it a lot easier to sell high.

If you are investing in strong huge margin of safety stocks for the long term -- and that's how you should be investing -- these are the times when you should be more interested in buying stocks, not less - market corrections and the occasional panics

The theory of Ben Graham of Mr value and Mr market principle loh;

1. The stock market fluctuates. Stock market fluctuations can be very big in the short term, e.g. 1 or 2 years. However, those holding a portfolio of selected stocks or index linked funds, should generally be having gains over a 5 year or more rolling period.

2. Market fluctuations to the short term player are risks, yet for the long term value investors are opportunities.

3. During the bull market, be prepared for the appearance of the bear market. The best time to be in is the bear market, especially for those who will be net investors into the market over the long term. This is the period when he can buy his stocks cheap. Generally, for every 5 years in the stock market, you can expect 4 bull and 1 bear market.

4. "The mini crash of last year" which you mentioned with a lot of fear was actually an expected event in the market. A fluctuation of that level is actually a very common event. If you are one who will be frightened out of the market by a sudden downturn of the market, you will initiate a train of actions which maybe detrimental to your long term investing.

5. Remember loh...if u invest based on big margin of safety principle u are not afraid bcos use have fundamental protection by under paying mah....!!

Below is the General Idea what an investor must believe.

1. By avoiding losses or minimizing losses, the modest returns from the winning stocks in your portfolio translate into good reasonable returns.

2. For the investor with a long term successful portfolio of stocks, his portfolio will have captured significant gains over the years. The gains (from capital appreciation and reinvested dividends) exceed the capital invested by many folds.

3. In the event of a severe bear market, his portfolio too will goes down in value but his capital is unlikely to be threatened. Moreover, his substantial yearly dividends attenuate the "quotational losses" during the severe bear market (>20% down from the peak).

4. The investor with a long term successful portfolio of stocks received yearly dividends of the quantum which exceeds many folds (100x) that of the single gain of a trader's best trade. [Why? Think this through yourself.] For this reason, it is common for the investor with a long term successful portfolio of stocks to be less enthusiastic in trading, which he seriously indulges occasionally. He knows the path to great wealth with certainty and does not need to deviate from this.

But for margin of safety investor he has to put abit more effort in order to gain more by taking advantage of Mr Market mah...!!

5. He needs to monitor his list of margin safety stock, to see whether Mr market is optimistic over paying for the stock in his portfolio loh....!!

6. He needs to monitor whether Mr market misprice the stock, giving him big opportunity to buy with big margin of safety loh...!!

Why margin of safety investors anytime is a good time ??

Anytime is a good time to buy stock.

Rather than timing the market, one should buy or sell base on the price of the stock offered by the market.
Even in the peak of the bull market, one can pick up some bargains.
Of course, in the depth of a bear market, there are many good stocks selling at very low prices.

Is buy and hold, a safe strategy?

The key ANSWER OR SOLUTION TO THE ABOVE IS MARGIN OF SAFETY LOH...!!
IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL RATIONAL METHOD, WHERE IT GUIDE U TO BUY & SELL DECISIONS BASING ON REAL VALUE N NOT BASING ON CHARTS OR STORYLINE LOH....!!

If a stock meets 7 of the 10 criteria, it is probably a good value, according to Graham.

If you're income oriented, Graham recommended paying special attention to items 1 through 7.

If you're concerned about growth and safety, items 1 through 5 and 9 and 10 are important.

If you're concerned with aggressive growth, ignore item 3, reduce the emphasis on 4 through 6, and weigh 9 and 10 heavily.

(Icon) What Is Investing ?
Author: Icon8888 | Publish date: Sun, 20 Jan 2019, 02:42 PM

On 23 December 2015, I wrote that investing involves holding on to stocks for long term to enjoy compounded return, other stock market activities are at best "trading".

However, recently I have been reading extensively about Investment Gurus' works. One thing that shock me is that very few of them actually hold stocks forever. Contrarian investor John Neff sold his stock within months if they registered good return. Even Joel Greenblatt (KC Chong's favourite) also indulged in short term activities.

As long as can make money with proper consideration of risk, it is valid. No need to hold long, long term only to be considered legitimate.

I hereby declare :
"Investing should not be defined only as picking good stocks and holding forever to enjoy compounded return. Buying an overlooked stock to wait for market to rectify mispricing and hence provides opportunity to cash out, is also considered investing. Even if it happens within few months.

Short term activities should not be automatically frowned upon. Anything bought based on careful evaluation of value and proper reasoning, and in the event that things turn sour, can be held until recovery, is considered investing.

Holding period is totally irrelevant."

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT BEN GRAHAM SAYS MAH..U BUY CHEAP WITH BIG MARGIN OF SAFETY AND HOLD ON TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MR MARKET MAH, WHEN THE SECURITIES RERATE AND GO UP TO THE REASONABLE FAIR VALUE AS MR MARKET BECAME OPTIMISTIC, U SELL MAH....!!

MR GRAHAM, HAVE NEVER ENCOURAGE TO HOLD ON FOREVER MAH...!!

Margin of safety


Long term versus short term.


The only free arbitrage today in investing is going long. Why going long gives you a huge margin of safety, when you know what you are doing?

Well, market fluctuates. Common sense from everyday observations. Can you predict the short term fluctuations? I can't. Some of you can, uncanny though these may seem. Perhaps, certain times but for most time, you are subjected to the vagaries of the stock market.

On the other hand, those with a long term horizon can virtually arbitrage freely by investing for the long term. This arbitrage is free. Let me explain. In the long term, most good asset values are going to go up: physical and financial. This is the law dictated by inflation. Your purchasing power of cash is going to go down over the long run. That is arbitrage at the simplest, if you can fathom this. Also, do you think the lands where the houses, buildings, plantations, and other built-ups are standing, are going to go up in price over the long term? Of course, yes. What about the stock market? Though the market fluctuates wildly over the short period, when you take periods of 10 years, you are almost close to 100%, the market closes higher at the end of the 10 year period than at the beginning. Also, for the great and good companies, they are going to grow their intrinsic value over time. You only have to choose one with competitive advantage which is durable for many years, and ride to compound on these. These are the compounders that will deliver you big money at the END of a long compounding period. Don't be excited by the 200% or 300% gains that people gloated or shouted at the beginning of their investing period using small sums of money into individual transactions, the incremental value to your overall portfolio at the end of a long compounding period of successful investing is VERY HUGE INDEED.

Let me be very frank with you, very very frank.
CAlvin, Raiders, SSLee and most of the people here are thousand times better you in investing. You only know how to quack quack quack here, quack quack quack there. No substance at all. Zero substance.

Many of my course participants thank me for educating them on the fundamental of investing, how to look at a business through reading, analysing and interpreting financial and annual reports, and how to do valuations. From there, many are able to investing on their own and make satisfactory return. Many of them have also ventured into regional and US markets and made extra-ordinary return.

I believe many of them also avoided the touting of shares such as Sendai and Jaks by the quack quack quack fellow, shouting margin and sailang for the last two years.

Without the knowledge of reading and analysing the financial statement of Jaks and Sendai, many just followed blindly the touting of sailang and amrgin by the quack quack quack fellow and lost a fortune.

So who is a better person. me teaching them to make extra-ordinary return, or you who caused so many people losing their fortunes?

The answer is pretty clear, isn't it?

thousands of accountants, hundreds of analysts...can dissect their Balance Sheets too, value here, value there.....how many of them are successful investors? Not many.....

so, what is the big deal ?

Finally it all boils down to character, habits and practise......and teachers selling dreams.....
