3III THINKS HE IS SO CLEVER BECAUSE HE SEES IN HIS OWN WORLD VIEW WITHOUT RESPECT TO OTHERS

HE THINKS PEOPLE SHOULD BE HUMBLE AND LISTEN TO HIM

WHY HE HIMSELF BE A LITTLE HUMBLE TO LEARN FROM OTHERS?

HE ACTS LIKE HE KNOWS ALL IN HIS FROG WORLD VIEW

Dutchlady has growth constrain as its market has reached saturation over the years

If you read Robert Kuok memoirs then you will understand how he described his sugar business in Malaysia

He said like a fish growing in a small pond like Malaysia his business will soon outgrow it.

So since the fish cannot swim horizontally it tries to swim downward but again the pond is also too shallow if he wants to swim down and will soon hit the floor

Since Malaysia is a limited market he has to move out to Hong Kong to grow.

Dutchlady is such a company now like a big fish in a small pond

AT least at that time Robert Kuok has Govt support and Govt controlled sugar manufacturing license

BUT for dutchlady there is no moat. Any Tom, dick or Harry can set up milk manufacturing business in Malaysia in a well sarurated market

Lately, Govt has raised tax on sugar to help Malaysia to be a healthier nation and F&n has diverted to milk. This is head on collision with Dutchlady


To be continued.....

Dutchlady has another very formidable competitor in Nestle

This big fish is even growing bigger than dlady

Nestle is undercutting dlady prices in a fierce battle for market share.

Nestle has the champion Milo which millions of Malaysians love and grow up on. As an extension of their love for nestle Milo there will be drawn to nestle milk as well

Then there is good day milk

Older generations are dream to healthy milk like Anlene as made famous by Datuk Michelle Yeoh

Fern milk from NZ rich and tasty

Taiwan bubble milk tea has also captured a huge slice of the market

Then there are advocates against animal cruelty by changing from cow milk to soya milk

So Dlady having no moat is now facing a suturated old and slow market where growth is difficult

Another problem is cost

While market share decrease cost of doing business is increasing

Malaysia will gradually raise minimum wage.

High electricity and petrol also impact on dlady bottom lines. See unsold Inventories of milk must be kept in cold refrigeration

Tenaga has just reported fantastic result

Partly contributed by Dutch lady

So better sell dlady and switch to tnb OR BETTER STILL BUY NETX

WHAT 3iii BUYS ARE BASICALLY STALWARTD

SEE WHAT PETER LYNCH SAY ABOUT STALWARTS

Medium growers (stalwarts)

“These multibillion-dollar hulks are not exactly agile climbers, but they’re faster than slow growers.” Lynch expected stalwarts to deliver gains of 30% to 50%, after which he would sell them and find new, undervalued issues. He also expected annual earnings growth of 10% to 12% and liked to keep some stalwarts in his portfolio because they offer defensive protection during market slumps: “You know they won’t go bankrupt, and soon enough they will be reassessed and their value will be restored.”


READ AGAIN

Lynch expected stalwarts to deliver gains of 30% to 50%, after which he would sell them and find new, undervalued issues


LYNCH SAID AFTER STALWARTS HAVE GAINED 30% TO 50% HE SHOULD SELL THEM AND FIND NEW ONES

SO CANNOT FALL IN LOVE LIKE HOLDING DUTCHLADY UNTIL IT GREW INTO HOLLAND GRANDMA

BUT THE DAMNABLE THING IS TO TELL PEOPLE TO BUY DLADY AT RM76.00

THAT WILL DESTROY A LOT OF WEALTH FROM PEOPLE WHO DON‘T STUDY PETER LYNCH

What is a turnaround?

A turnaround is a stock that has seen good times before but got hit badly along the way.

It has fallen out of the radar of investors "because earnings have fallen into pitiful state

BUT Management is doing its very best to turnaround the company by selling assets to pare down debts

To see what can be done to unlock value

Example is Talam Transform

It's debts have been pared down and soon it will turn around into debt free status when Seroja Apts are sold to further clear off remaining debts

Then Talam might be able to resume dividend

Once Market sees it clearly Talam share price will rebound

Those who bought NetX during the bull phase due to calvin of calvin tan research of singapore fame's promotion are now facing very interesting choices:


Some bought at 3 sens per share, that is a huge drop to 1.5 sen per share or even lower at 1 sen or 0.5 sen per share.

Some bought at 2 sens per share, that is also a significant drop to 1.5 sen per share (25% drop).

Some bought at 1.5 sens per share, they will still lose a little due to commissions and trading expenses.

Those who bought at 1 sen per share, well at 1.5 sen per share, they may feel the "loss of potential gain" should they have sold higher.


Behavioural finance is an important subject to master. How many have read the book by Kahneman Think fast and slow.? It is a very good book giving a lot of insight into the many ways your decisions are made in varied circumstances in our life.

Both Philip and 3iii have changed ID


Why people changed names?

They are ashamed of their original names and ID

Last time during Asian Financial crisis Mr Neoh changed name to Peter and Mr HO changed name to Andy

Why so?

Both hiding from loan sharks

3iii hiding from dlady people while Philip hiding from petchem people

NO wonder both changed their names and disturb other forums like Netx?

Why they both dare not go post in dlady or petchem?

See reason:

Convicted criminals change names to cover up past

Very few bought at 1 sen

Many bought at 1.5 sen

Many more bought at 2 sen, 2.5 sen and 3.0 sen

Given the low volume of transactions the last 7 days, the trading ranged from 1.5 sen to 2.0 sen.

Sadly, many are unable to cash out with any gains.


WHY 3iii SO BLIND LEH?

Lesson learn here is never never chase overvalue stock even if it is a bluechip like dlady mah!

If u have invested in Dlady at sept 2019 at a cost of Rm 58.10 today it is worth rm 33.00 u would have lost 43% of your investment mah!

On the otherhand if u invested in contraian unloved insas with margin of safety at rm 0.815 and together with the participating in the corporate exercise with free warrant...u would have gain 43% loh!

Do u all notice that 3iii like raider has been criticizing Icap TTB for lack of good performance return for the last 7 yrs ? Surprisingly the excuse given by TTB is exactly the same like what 3iii had given loh!

Quote by 3iii

"It was very interesting to see calvintaneng and his side-kick raider posting on my Petdag, Nestle and now DLady.Perhaps they should know that these long term stocks remain and are still multi-baggers in my portfolio."

3iii should focus on what have went wrong on Nestle & Dlady for the past 7 yrs, instead of making bad excuse & trying to divert attention from his failure by attacking sifu calvin loh!

In other words, 3iii should study & learn what have gone wrong in Nesle & Dlady and explain to us what action had been done to improve his investment return going fwd loh!

Selling is often a harder decision than buying
"If you have bought a good quality stock at bargain or reasonable price, you can often hold forever."

Investing is fun. For every rule, there is always an exception.

The main reasons for selling a stock are:

1. When the fundamental has deteriorated permanently, (Sell urgently)
2. When it is overpriced, whereby the upside gain will be unlikely or very small and the downside loss will be big or certain.

We shall examine reason No. 2 through the property market. The property market is also cyclical. There were periods of booms and dooms.


If you have a good piece of property that is always 100% tenanted and which gives you good consistent return (let's say 2x or 3x risk free FD rates), would you not hold this property forever? The answer is probably yes.

Then, when would you sell this property?

Note that the valuation of property, as with stocks, is both objective and subjective.

Would you sell when someone offered to buy at 500% above your perceived market price?

Probably yes, as this is obviously overpriced. You could cash out and probably easily re-employ the money to earn better returns in another property (or properties) or other assets.

Would you sell when someone offered to buy at 50% above your perceived market price?

Maybe yes or maybe no. You can offer your many reasons.

However, all these will be based on the perceived future returns you can hope to get from this property in the future. This is both objective based on past returns obtained and subjective and speculative on future returns.

However, unlike reason No.1 when you would need to sell urgently to another buyer to prevent sustaining a permanent loss, you need not sell just because someone offered to buy the property at high price. (However, there are also those who "flip properties" for their earnings; they will sell quickly for a quick profit.) You will not suffer a loss but only a diminished return at worse. You can take your time to work out the mathematics.

You maybe surprised that you may still achieve a return higher at a time in the near future by rejecting the present immediate gain based on the present high price offered.

Also, you would need to price in the lost opportunity cost when the property is sold at this price, even though it is 50% above the perceived normal market price. Could you buy a similar quality property with the same sustainable increasing income or return by offering the same price?



Similarly, the same line of thinking can be applied to your selling of shares.

When should you sell your shares?

Yes, definitely when the fundamentals have deteriorated permanently. The business has suffered for various reasons and going forward, the earnings will be permanently impaired and deteriorating.

Yes, when the price is very very overpriced. However, you need not sell your shares in good quality companies that you bought at fair or bargain price. As long as the fundamentals are strong and the business is adding value, selling now at a higher price may mean losing the return that you could have obtained in the future years from owning this stock and the opportunity cost of reinvesting the cash into another stock of similar quality and returns.

Once again, the importance of sound reasoning and doing the mathematics in making a decision whether to sell or not.

Is it not true, that the really big fortunes from common stocks have been garnered by those
who made a substantial commitment in theearly years of a company in whose future they had great confidence and
who held their original shares unwaveringly while they increased 10-fold or 100-fold or more in value?

The answer is "Yes."

ht tp://myinvestingnotes.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-18-points-guide-to-successfully.html



Additional notes:

Other reasons for selling a stock (or property) are:
To raise cash to reinvest into another asset with better return.
A certain stock (or property sector) may be over-represented in your portfolio due to recent rapid price rises and you need to reduce its weightage to reduce your risk of over-exposure in this single stock (or property sector).


Footnote:

This is a true story. A rich man was approached by a buyer to sell his property. A few neighbouring lots were sold for $1.6 m the last 2 years. What offer will ensure that you sell your property to me? Please let me know. The unwilling owner replied, "$5 million". There is a lesson here too. :-)
