Looks like it will consolidate. The technical readings don't appear so good; at least not for the shorter term. But that will be a good thing - if it goes down a bit, there will be a stronger foundation for the next upswing.
This is a jewel for EPF (govt). Doubt they will allow it to sink, in fact it shud prosper when govt dish our more property/construction projects. Just watch.
Is this counter following UNISEM, JCY? Is it getting bloated compensation for EDL? Is it going to be appointed to develop RRI? Is it? Is it? Is it the entry point 1.63?
Obviously on a downtrend after those exciting weeks when it climbed up from 1.55 or so to almost 1.90. Every counter has to undergo this cycle. This is also one of those "political risk" counters. Let it undergo the correction first. Then we buy and wait.
However, MRCB has remained below RM2 for too long, ans hence does not carry any short term investment value for a mid range shares. Just puzzle, wouldn't the major shareholders pressure company for corporate action?
dr_mie - *Many* potential counters as always. The most tricky part is when to get in (and also when to get out rather than push one's luck when something goes up). With traders, these are the usual suspects - JCY (despite its sharp fall, I feel there is still life to it); SKPetro too, which has gone below 2.40. MRCB will be interesting next week - will the rebound last Thursday last or will it come down again? I was hesitant to buy anything last week due to the long weekend. Hopefully, there will be clearer signs from tomorrow. I've just bought The Edge weekly and will be thinking about the various counters today... plus read the opinions here for ideas.
There's another one that I'm keeping an eye on - SILK. It has been very quiet for quite a few months. Recently, there was some interest in this counter but it quickly petered out. Last Thursday and Wednesday have seen the interest coming back - if this continues from tomorrow onwards, we might have "a new TH Heavy".
SILK is better known for its highway but it is also an oil & gas company. In fact, two-thirds of its revenue come from O&G. It has substantial debts which prevent it from registering good profits. But its assets - I feel these might attract other companies.
SILK Highway itself. There aren't too many already-built highways available. PLUS was /is the greatest but EPF has now bought and privatised it.
Traffic using SILK has risen steadily over the past few years. But for the company, its borrowings are a burden and a good part of earnings have to go towards paying it. That's to be expected though because building a highway takes LOTS of capital. I'm thinking along this line - wouldn't EPF/PLUS and other cash-rich organizations looking for stable income not be interested in owing a toll concession? It's only a question of the price.
I don't know about whether there is any good news. But I think it's a technical rebound after the price had gone down sharply since the Raya holidays. There was a correction going on, which was compounded by news of its EDL-related sukuk loans being downgraded. As usual, traders had over-reacted and cut losses, leading to the slide. 1.62 last week was a great chance to get in but I didn't. Excuse me while I go and kick myself.
True. But it has enough volatility and swing to make it worth the trader's time. The common thinking is this - MRCB is perceived to be a politically-connected company and is therefore a `political risk' when there's a general election. At least that's what every analyst and his grandmother says. Never mind if almost half of the shares are owned by EPF. I've made money with it before. But one must be prepared to pick up and wait a bit should the market move against him. I'll never recommend either buying or selling anything but I can say that its present price isn't a sucker's price.
Mat..Aren't you glad that you didn't go in at 1.62..the 1.58 is there for you to knock...oh..1.56 actually..goodness.might knock 1.48-1.52...possibly..tempting
EPF still holding 45% MRCB And Tambung Haji keep collecting.... I dont feel the price will go down further.... Collect as much as you can... I believe something BIG NEWS COMING ~!!
