In all honesty, l've been a dividend focused investor for a long time. This does not mean I don't own growth stocks like Gold, I do. A well rounded portfolio should be a mixture of both categories. One way to minimize the anxiety out of stock market investing, is to make sure you keep a large diversified cushion. I invest in the market, but never time the market.
Poh Kong is going to announce Q2 result this week. What can you deduce from gold price movement for past 5 months? i.e. Oct 2023 to Jan 2024. What can you expect Q3 result from Feb 24 to Apr 24?
The Group's revenue for the current quarter under review was higher at RM423.818 million as compared to the revenue in the corresponding quarter last year of RM403.836 million, an increase of RM19.982 million. The increasein revenue was due mainly to the increase in demand of gold jewellery and gold investment products during the quarter under review.
The higher revenue and the increase in gold prices had improved profit margin as compared with the preceding quarter.
The Group's profit before tax in the current quarter at RM36.397 million as compared to the profit before tax of RM32.494 million in the corresponding quarter last year showed an increase of RM3.903 million. The overall uptrend in gold prices had improved the operating profits in the current quarter under review.
Re-purchased PohKong after selling my last shares in 2022. Gold has broken out of a modified bullish wedge on the monthly chart.

All-time high for GOLD! Come on old tortoise Ah Kong, move your butt!!! I'm stuck @ 86.5c & just waiting for $1 & higher! My Tomei already break 52-wk high of $1.40 & approaching all-time peak of $1.80!
Recently, noticed that the PohKong business is obviously better than usual. Maybe due to Hari Raya. Interesting to see that people like to buy gold during the price is high. Most probably scaring of the gold price will go even higher.
The inventories increased by RM100 MiL compare to 6 months ago. The obvious differences one can see. The value of the stock -in-hand appreciated. Short term loan increased by RM10 MiL only.
Gold price goes higher and higher week by week. It is above USD2230 per ounce, break its historic high again. Many reasonable factors contribute to this record breaking price.....Gold can fight the inflation, excess money printing, social and political instabilities,etc...
Next month(Apr) is Hari Raya and Hindu wedding season, with gold price spikes since Oct, you should expect bumper profit for Poh Kong Q3 ending April.
Another plus is 'luxury tax' for HGVT is temporary delayed due to bill not yet passed in Parliament, that is just delay and will form the pull factor to buy gold jewellery now instead of later.
The government deferred the tabling of a bill on a luxury goods tax to enable fine-tuning on the scope of goods and associated thresholds, the finance ministry said today.
Jewellers are heaving a sigh of relief as the High-Value Goods Tax (HVGT) has been deferred, even if only temporarily. The government announced on Thursday (March 28) that the plan to implement the HVGT from May 1 has been indefinitely shelved as the Finance Ministry had not presented the Bill in Parliament yet.

Yup, quite impressive. Wait for it to break 90 cents and then hit RM1 🙂
