Trading Frequency Attitude Studies show that individual investors tend to trade too often (Barber, Lee, Liu, & Odean, 2009; Barber & Odean, 2013). Such tendencies perhaps emerge from the fallacious belief that one must trade frequently to make a profit even though research shows that traders consistently underperform benchmarks (Barber & Odean, 2000; Linnainmaa, 2011). Yet, many cannot resist the temptation of active trading. Trading frequency increases when investors are overconfident about their ability (Graham, Harvey, & Huang, 2009; Grinblatt & Keloharju, 2009; Statman, Thorley, & Vorkink, 2006). Trading frequency may impact the usage of financial statements by individual investors. Since trading is driven by short-term price fluctuations and other signals, it is possible that investors who trade frequently are less inclined to rely on financial statements when making stock investment decisions

The findings reveal that financial statement usage is positively associated with subjective norm, financial statement knowledge, attitude towards financial statement usage,and perceived behavioural control. However, it isnegatively associated with trading frequency attitude.

Females exhibited a higher level of financial statement usage compared to males. Interestingly, there were no significant differences in terms of ethnicity, suggesting that the various races have an equal likelihood of using financial statements for investment decision-making purposes.Financial statement usage also seemed to decline with age;respondents in their 20s reported a higher usage of financial statements compared to those in their 50s.Those who had a diploma had significantly higher financial statementusagecompared to those with SPM qualifications; however, usage did not increase significantly with even higher educational attainment.Nonetheless, the findings support human capital theory that education is a driver of financial behaviour.Significant differences were also noted for the employment sector where those in the private sector exhibited higher usage compared to those who were unemployed.Furthermore, investors with 3 years or less investing experience were significantly higher users of financial statements compared to more experienced investors

PUTRAJAYA (July 24): FundMyHome (FMH) has proven that it is possible to make homeownership more accessible to Malaysians, especially those in the lower income group with the signing of sales and purchase agreement by the first batch of homeowners under the FMH platform.
In an event held at the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) in Putrajaya today, 16 participants from the first batch received their documents from the ministry under the FundMyHome DepositKu scheme.
"Today, we are delighted to witness the realisation of fellow Malaysians’ dream in finally owning a place they can call their own," EdgeProp Sdn Bhd chairman Datuk Tong Kooi Ong said in his speech.
"As the Prime Minister reminded me that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, I think today we have delivered it," he added.
Under the FundMyHome platform, aspiring homebuyers only pay 20% of the property price to own a home while the remaining 80% of the price will be contributed by participating institutional co-investors, who share the upside in the future value of the property.
During the launch of the platform last November, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad threw a challenge to EdgeProp, the developer of FundMyHome, to prove that such a "fantastic idea" can be proven viable.
"I hope and believe that this scheme could help encourage homeownership,” Mahathir had said at that time.
Fast forward to today, the FundMyHome platform has attracted more than 8,000 people who are interested in buying a home on the platform, including the 16 buyers present at the event today.
Tong noted that the key challenges to homeownership for many Malaysians today, especially the working class living in the city, are the inability to get a mortgage and to pay the downpayment for a home purchase, which can be attributed to two main reasons – buyers’ incomes are too low and home prices are too high.
Hence, the FundMyHome platform is launched to help those who are unable to own a home due to their inability of obtaining a mortgage, he said.
"Going forward, FundMyHome will make homeownership possible for many more Malaysians as it has proven today," he added.
He is also delighted that KPKT is offering financial aid to the buyers under the FundMyHome platform through the FundMyHome DepositKu scheme.
DepositKu will fund up to 10% of the home price for qualified buyers, subject to a maximum of RM30,000.
This means that for a RM300,000 home, homebuyers need to only raise 10% down payment or RM30,000, while the other 10% will be from Depositku scheme with the balance 80% from the investors of FundMyHome platform.
For bumiputera buyers, if the bumi discount entitlement is available, they will pay even less.
With a 7% bumi discount, first-time bumiputera buyers only need to pay RM9,000 to buy a RM300,000 home.
"The most common issue faced by these prospective homebuyers is their inability to raise the required 20% deposit towards the purchase. We are glad that our proposal to the government for the FundMyHome DepositKu scheme and its realisation has enabled some Malaysians to finally own their own homes," he said.

hotel segment is potential in msia too. :)

IHG eyes 10 new hotels in 5 years

An artist’s impression of Holiday Inn Sepang.
By Kathy B. - July 18, 2019 @ 1:17pm
INTERCONTINENTAL Hotels Group (IHG) plans to have up to 10 new hotels in Malaysia within the next five years.

IHG vice-president of, development for Southeast Asia and Korea, Serena Lim, said the hotel group is open to both greenfield and brownfield opportunities.

“We have been innovative in the past in adaptive reuse such as Holiday Inn Express Kuala Lumpur City Centre which was converted from the Menara ING office to a hotel. With the right partner and location, we look forward to expanding our footprint in Malaysia,” she told NST Property.

Lim said IHG is committed to building on its strategy and accelerating its growth in the region by working with the right partners in areas where it sees the most potential for growth.

“We always look for opportunities to partner owners of high-quality individual or locally-branded hotels which will benefit from the powerful systems and expertise that we bring... like best-in-class revenue management, technology capabilities and IHG Rewards Club.

“Prioritising investment where it matters most and with our years of experience in operating hotels at scale, we partner with hotel owners to invest where it will drive the greatest commercial gains and provide great brand experiences for guests,” she said.

IHG has five hotels operating under three brands in Malaysia, namely InterContinental, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express.

Lim said next year, IHG will be opening exciting properties, including Holiday Inn Express Kota Kinabalu City Centre and the Holiday Inn Johor Baru City Centre.

“Last October we also announced the signing of Regent Kuala Lumpur, located next to Tun Razak Exchange, our first global signing since the acquisition of the brand,” she said.

By 2021, IHG will open Holiday Inn Sepang.The hotelier recently inked an agreement with Warisan City Development to set up a hotel at the latter’s Kota Warisan project in Sepang.

Kota Warisan is located within close proximity to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, which handles almost 60 million passengers a year.

Lim said the target market for the 250-room hotel is layover passengers or airline crews, as well as people in the Sepang area, which is expanding as a key commercial hub in Greater Kuala Lumpur.

“Sepang already hosts several attractions just a short drive from the location of the hotel, such as the renown Sepang International Circuit, Mitsui Outlet Park, Xiamen University Malaysia and KIP Mall. There are also numerous businesses and industrial zones nearby. In 2020, e-commerce giant Alibaba will launch the Digital Free Trade Zone within the airport compound, serving as a regional logistics hub for SMEs (small and medium enterprises).

“Being in close proximity to a major international airport, a large industrial district, a university and a renown racing circuit, the hotel is perfectly positioned for both business and leisure visitors. We believe this is an ideal location for our expansion,” she said.

Lim said Holiday Inn is one of the group’s mainstream brands with hotels offering full service known across the globe for comfort, value, and dependability as well as being the world’s most recognised brand in the world.

If Holiday Inn Sepang is planned as a 3- or 4-star hotel, Lim said IHG is just like other players in the industry which are moving away from star-rating.

Instead, IHG will be using market scale such as luxury, upscale or midscale, she added.

oldtown, munchy biscuits in msia sold for more than RM1bil to foreigners, bjland can sell all the hotels too and return the balance after paying off the loans to shareholders... then, just pay shareholders from the dividend received from bjtoto (hold more than 40%+ in it)... habis cerita

Jollibee buys Coffee Bean for US$350m, shares fall 8%

MANILA: Jollibee Foods Corp. will spend $350 million to purchase loss-making Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, its largest acquisition.

Shares of the Philippine’s biggest restaurant company fell the most in more than two years.

Jollibee will invest $100 million for an 80% stake in a Singapore venture set up with Vietnamese partners to acquire Coffee Bean, it said in a stock exchange disclosure. The rest of the amount will be in the form of advances.

Los Angeles-based Coffee Bean will add 14% to Jollibee’s global sales and expand its store network by more than a quarter, said Jollibee Chairman Tony Tan Caktiong. In 2018, the coffee chain with 1,189 stores reported a net loss of $21 million on revenue of $313 million.

Highlights

The Coffee Bean acquisition is Jollibee’s largest to date, following its $210.25 million takeover of American fast-food chain Smashburger, according to Bloomberg data.

The transaction will boost contributions from international businesses to 36% of total sales and closer to its goal of becoming one of the top 5 restaurant companies in the world in terms of market capitalization, Jollibee said.

Shares of the restaurant company that’s famous for its fried chicken fell as much as 8% in Manila, its biggest drop since Nov. 15, 2016.

Jollibee drags Philippines’ benchmark stock index out of bull market territory, closing at 8,161.49. Before Jollibee’s trading halt was lifted, the index was at 8,200.37.

Owners of Viet Thai International Joint Stock Company, Jollibee’s partner in Highlands Coffee and Pho 24, will subscribe to the remaining 20% of the Singapore venture.

The initial public offering planned for Highlands Coffee this month is delayed and under review.

"There is market skepticism that this purchase will be earnings accretive considering Coffee Bean’s 2018 loss is about 12% of Jollibee’s profit last year,” said Rachelle Cruz, an analyst at AP Securities.

"Smashburger is yet to contribute positively on earnings and here is another acquisition that will probably be earnings dilutive in the next two to three years,” she said, referring to the U.S. burger chain Jollibee took over in 2018. - Bloomberg

You people are damn right.... The BODs are useless by just looking at the yo yo performance of operating performance.

You people are equally stupid... Wasted energy by barking here and there after knowing the BODs are incompetent.... Why wasting your time here.

Just sell off.... Settle all your problems!
