The only uncertainty is the investment holding and trading of quoted share. Will it make big gain or losses? But again with current war chest of RM 675 million in deposits, bank balance and cash and at current market where many value/growth stocks are at beaten down market price. The question is can INSAS with its resource of research analysts available can you perform better than INSAS in term of picking up winner stocks?
Dear 3iii, I bought my first INSAS share on 31/1/2017 at RM 0.775 and in between I take profit when price reach above RM1 .00. Currently INSAS is about 33% of my portfolio. The other for dividend stocks are: CSCSTEL, TAE, TAGB and etc. I do allocate a certain % for trading and last year I make trading profit from steel counter (holding some book losses now) and this year already registered book gain on: Ancom, Eatech, Ekovest, Hibiscs, Jitiasa, Ksl, Malton and VS.
I do miss leno, where are you now leno? Posted by leno > Jul 25, 2018 10:22 AM | Report Abuse RM 1 ? Fak u ! RM 3 RINGGIT ! RM 3 RINGGIT ! INSAS CANTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK !!! Hope leno is well,
As for me I attended AGM, demand accountability, transparency and appeal to the board for reasonable dividend as INSAS can afford it easily. I seek meeting with board and was grant a personal meeting with Dato’ Wong.
So in a nutshell, assuming they have the warchest, current management will not pay fair value for INSAS. And big activist investors will also not pay fair value for INSAS. So it comes down to how much below fair value investors are willing to sell for INSAS right now?
However,
If share price goes up too high, many investors will cash in the warrants to convert to shares, introducing dilution and bringing the share price down again.
They have 687 million in cash but they haven't gotten around to either spending it on a good m&a target or giving it out to the longtime suffering shareholders. So since their other investments are not producing tangible results, they pump in more money into inari shares because they can't do share buybacks. <<< Does money in other people's bank help to feed stockraider at night?
Retail shareholders come here from inari, so any surprises with inari will directly impact INSAS performance, even if management of inari is a separate party. <<< INSAS shareholders to pay for inari mistakes? But they can't enjoy inari benefits?
The share price of INSAS has been rangebound at rm1, so retail investors are reflexively thought to sell some shares when it goes above rm1, due to warrant consideration and management guidance from their revenue and profit generation. <<< Raise your hand anyone who start thinking of selling INSAS shares the moment it goes beyond rm1.5. And you call yourselves shareholders. Shame on you. NTA is 3.
All in all, the retail investor, current management and fund managers all do not want to pay rm3 for INSAS, as they do not believe in the future of INSAS 5-10 years from now to find another inari. Even though they believe the nta value of INSAS is worth rm3.
So the main question is, how much discounts are you willing to sell for me to take INSAS off your hands?
If everyone is willing to let go of INSAS at rm1.5 to rm2,
Then using the nta value of rm3 is useful only as a guide.
If even the current management biggest shareholder is not willing to pay rm2 to buy your shares from you, and if you know 5 years from now you will never get more than nta for INSAS (there will always be a discount to value for management)
Wouldn't this be the very definition of a value trap?
Just some thoughts as ttb icap.biz also runs the same operation, just using nta as a valuation point, without looking at ROE and business performance.
In essence this is a perang tiga penjuru between acheh, melaka and Portugal. Portugal wants to take melaka straits, but they know without melaka support they can't do it. Melaka currently controls the straits, but they don't dare expand because parameswara just died and the new King is an idiot who can't grow the Port. And acheh, they just want to be rich so they dip into the straits of melaka, not knowing they have to stay on the other side of the sea, and can't go to rich people corner.
Yes, datuk seri thong won't live forever. But when new management is telling you they are not buying INSAS shares, and they tell you they will not be buying INSAS shares in the future...
So the main question is, how much discounts are you willing to sell for me to take INSAS off your hands?

Dear all, A value trap is a million times better than a pit fall/mouse trap set up by PLP king/manipulator/rich holders (Just need one bad Q result to cause the house of card to collapse) because if you fall into one and chase high it will kill you.
For INSAS just look into the NTA growth and projected it into next 10 years what will be the NTA (Liquid NTA) and not some Farm building, Boat, Plant, Machinery, Vehicle, Fitting, Work in progress and etc: RM 1,162,075,000 which make up majority of their NTA
INSAS-PA and INSAS-WB major holder is still Dato’ Sri Thong and will due and expired on FEB 2020. If he converts the Warrants it will trigger MGO if he does not. I am fine then I can hold long term. I will be watching this date closely and plan my next move and meanwhile I am satisfied with the dividend. I add more when INSAS was trading at it low.
Dear all, Refer financial report YR 2018 page 117: Dealer’s representatives’ deposits and clients’ trust monies received of RM81,667,000 (2017: RM106,394,000) are excluded from deposits with licensed banks and financial institutions of the Group in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards Implementation Committee Consensus 18: Monies Held in Trust by Participating Organisations of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
The effective interest rate for deposits with licensed banks and financial institutions of the Group and of the Company range from 0.005% to 4.04% (2017: 0.01% to 4.50%) and 2.55% to 2.80% (2017: 2.55%) per annum respectively.
Dear all. By the way total receivable: RM 376,481.000 majority is INSAS Credit & Leasing Sdn Bhd: RM 235,701,000 secured money lending given to client. The interest rate charged by ICL is in accordance with the Money lending Act, which is not more than 12% p.a. for secured loans and not more than 18% p.a. for unsecured loans. The total interest income earned by ICL from the money lending business for FY2018 is RM23.0 million. The rest is securities trade settlement by M&A Securities. Compare to “they are providing interest free loans to fishermen to buy or lease boats and equipment with the only requirement being that all catches to be sold QL first.” If Malaysia registered fishing boats are caught fishing in Indonesia water they can kiss their boats goodbye.
its obvious long number is old hand and ss is beginner...that is obvious from every post. It makes sense that one beginner will lead into another to value traps...stock market has been like for decades......
I say enough of the value traps, of the mismanaged, lousy companies and penny stocks....mostly people will be trapped there for decades....ten years no change.
The function of the stock market is for people to participate in the growth of companies, well managed companies, responsible companies. That is how stock markets makes a lot of people a lot of money.
Of course quality never come cheap, pay peanuts gets monkeys.
Look at this i3 ...dominated by monkeys and people buying and selling value traps and lousy companies. I think long number is a breathe of fresh air...what the doctor ordered for i3......
for a proper understanding of Insas . look at the composition of the revenue account. The bulk of annual revenue is the buying and selling of shares....no kidding....the rest of the revenue are just directors' perks ( toys).
and the only reliable source of cash flows? Dividends from Inari....U want them to sell Inari too to realise their NTA? U kidding?
Insas main business are stockbroking, money lending, corporate advisory mah...!!
Surely this type of this revenue....give good gross margin mah...!!
