投資心理學家迪頓(Gary Dayton)本身就是1名活躍的投資人,他最近在MarketWatch發表文章「從股票買賣慘賠中求生路的7個方法」(7 ways to survive a painful stock-trading loss)裡,就列出了7招如何在投資大賠後,重新收拾心情再出發。文中強調成功與失敗的投資人之間,最重大差異是彼此如何處理投資損失後的心情。成功的投資人是把交易損失視為學習,和改進其投資方法的良機。當然,反過來就是失敗的人不懂得從中學習的道理。雖然要在慘賠後再戰市場是一大挑戰,但成功者是不會因為交易大賠而放棄,甚至視賠錢為讓自己學習的機會。市場上多少人開玩笑說,自己在股市上交了多少學費,這學費的確要交,問題是自己學回多少東西。
Besides Evergreen Bhd which has risen a lot lately...investors could also focus on Mieco as its fundamentals improves on the back of falling ringgit and oil price..more value for every ringgit spent compared to Evergreen...all bets off if ringgit and oil price were to rise..
12 Aug 2011 Evergreen Fibreboard Bhd has entered into a memorandum of understanding with four individuals to purchase 3.5 million ordinary shares of RM1 each in Jasa Wibawa Sdn Bhd for RM37.84 million cash.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, the company said the four individuals are Teh Ho Ann, Muhd Faisal Mohd Ariff, Amin Maidu and Seman Buang.
It said the completion of the sale and purchase agreement, funded by internally generated funds and bank borrowings, would be within 14 days of its execution.
Jasa Wibawa is involved in sawn-logs and cultivation of rubber trees.
The company has been awarded the rights to extract and replant timber latex clones in Hutan Simpanan Labis, Mersing, in Johor for 60 years starting from Jan 1, 2007- Dec 31, 2066 and a further 30 years if such extension is granted by the State Forestry Department of Johor. --Bernama

An alarming practice
Share this article on Facebook or Twitter to win cash or gadget! THE recent article on logging at the Sembrong Forest Reserve in Mersing, Johor highlights the alarming practice of converting forests and land for the development of forest plantations.
It is disappointing to learn that the Forestry Department is allowing conversion of forests including permanent reserved forests for development of these forest plantations. Besides Johor, several thousand acres of tree plantations are also planned and being developed in Kelantan.
Among preliminary environmental impact assessments submitted for the development of rubber forest plantations in Johor are the proposed:
1) development of forest plantation on 2,023ha at Sembrong Forest Reserve by Hamid Sawmill Sdn Bhd;
2) timber latex clone plantation on 2,023ha at Sembrong Forest Reserve by Setindan Sdn. Bhd;
3) rubber forest plantation on about 1,784ha at Labis Forest Reserve (Extension) in Mukim Sembrong by Jasa Wibawa Sdn. Bhd;
4) rubber forest plantation in Mukim Sembrong, Mersing on 2,090ha at Labis Forest Reserve (extension) by PPPL Plantations Sdn Bhd;
5) forest rubber plantation on 6,116ha of state land in Mukim Ulu Sg Johor, Daerah Kota Tinggi by J. Biotech Sdn Bhd.
The Malaysian Timber Industry Board portal states that in March 2005 the Cabinet had entrusted the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities to pursue the development of forest plantations.
Under this programme, the Ministry plans to develop 375,000ha of forest plantation at an annual planting rate of 25,000ha per year for the next 15 years. Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) had objected to the development of forest plantations as studies have shown that monoculture tree plantations have a two-fold impact globally through loss of biodiversity and being net emitters of carbon.
A report published in Nature show that old-growth forests store carbon for centuries, whereas plantations and young forests are actually net emitters of carbon due to the disturbance of the soil and the degradation of the previous ecosystem.
There is a clear difference between the rich biodiversity of a forest and the barren life of an industrial forest plantation. A forest is a complex, self-regenerating ecological system with a wide variety of plants and animals in mutual relation.
Biological diversity and forest functions are drastically lost when forests are cleared and planted with species of fast-growing trees for timber and/or latex.
Undisturbed forest soil has good structural properties which help in filtration and increases its water-holding capacity. Land clearance during the establishment of forest plantations will increase the peak flow rate of the area, thus increasing the risk of floods.
Forest plantations become further ecologically diminished with each successive harvest, as
the potential to hold carbon and water is reduced.
It is perplexing why monoculture tree and forest plantations such as timber latex clones are promoted despite their known detrimental impacts on biodiversity, climate change and water resources. We urge the Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities, Forestry Department and the relevant authorities to reconsider the approval given for the development of all forest plantations in the country.
Evergreen is the top 5 MDF manufacturer in Asia. Its PE ratio however is about half that of Thailand's Vanachai and Korea's Donghwa. Evergreen's shares are traded with reasonable liquidity on Bursa Malaysia. Also Evergreen's shares are traded below its net tangible assets. This counter is still largely overlooked by the investment community at the moment. Buying on dips is still the best strategy.
As I have been saying...this counter is enjoying a good fortune of ' twin terror '..combination of depreciating RM vs USD and falling oil price...the price of this stock is at the cusp of meeting my target... for those who missed the boat...don't despair...there's another similar counter in the making.ie Mieco Bhd...its NTA is about RM 1.30..and looks like there is good value for every ringgit spent...expecting a better sets of quarterly results.
ethan1986, Evergreen has no relation to China's economy.Evergreen's main markets are Europe, USA and Middle East. In fact China is one of the largest producers of MDF in the world for their own consumption and exports.
Now that the price has broken resistance of 1.68 , a revisit of the chart is needed to see the future direction.The daily, weekly, and even monthly charts are supportive of higher prices. I see the momentum is strong enough to go to next level of 182 soon.
My TP of RM 1.85 which I expected to be achieved within the next quarter will mostly breached sooner than the forecasted duration...meaning getting over valued...still room for appreciation..for those who have missed the boat on this counter...be quick to queue up for Mieco...my TP for this stock is RM 1.20 achievable latest within the next quarter..
Mieco is following in the tailwind of Evergreen. Fundamentally ,however, Mieco is much weaker than Evergreen in many aspects.Just in the area of net profit margin, Mieco's net margin is 3.5% versus more than 10% for Evergreen.On top of that Mieco will be shifting its entire manufacturing facility to a new location this year.This is quite risky as it may affect or disrupt their operations ( hence profitablilty ) if not carried out smoothly. So invest in Mieco with caution.Evergreen's future profitability is much more visible, as mentioned by HLG Research's latest report issued yesterday.It is still highly undervalued as compared to its international peers Vanachai,Thailand and Donghwa Korea.
Highlights Evergreen’s share price has appreciated by 20.7% since early-Jul (outperforming the index by 20.4%-pts and surpassed our TP of RM1.59), we believe the strong share price performance was due to stronger US$ (against the RM) and declining crude oil price (which are both positive to Evergreen’s earnings). In our view, Evergreen’s valuation remains commendable despite the recent strong share price performance, as: (1) MYR will remain under pressure on the back of several issues (namely global monetary policy divergence, low commodity prices, and unresolved political glitches); and (2) Prices of key inputs, namely rubber log wood and glue (which in turn is derived from methanol and urea) remain on downtrend (see Figures 1 & 2), and these are supportive of Evergreen’s earnings. MYR and lower key input prices aside, we note that management’s continuous efforts to further improve Evergreen’s output and cost efficiencies, and diversifying its product range will help drive its earnings higher. Given the improving earnings visibility and decent balance sheet (with net gearing of less than 0.3x as at 31 Mar 2015), we do not discount the possibility of Evergreen resuming paying dividends by 2016 (although management remains tight lipped on such possibility). Risks Escalating raw material and labour costs; Slower-than-expected demand for MDF; Fluctuating foreign currency movement (in particularly the US$); and Slower-than-expected turnaround at the particleboard operations. Forecasts FY15-17 net profit forecasts raised by 6.4-12.9% to RM78.7m, RM100.3m and RM103m respectively, largely to account for: (1) A higher US$:RM assumption of RM3.60/US$ (vs. RM3.50/US$ previously); and (2) Slightly lower raw material cost assumptions. Rating BUY Positives (1) A beneficiary of strong US$ and low oil price; (2) Healthy balance sheet; and (3) Rubber plantation land bank value has yet to be reflected in current share price valuation. Valuation TP lifted by 35.2% to RM2.15, to reflect: (1) Higher net profit forecasts; (2) The roll forward of our valuation base year (from average 2015-2016 to 2016); and (3) Higher target P/E of 11x (from 10x previous), given Evergreen’s improving earnings visibility. We note that our higher target P/E of 11x is still at 19.5% discount to Vanachai Group’s 2016 P/E of 13.5x. Maintain BUY recommendation. Source: Hong Leong Investment Bank Research - 8 Jul 2015
Wkkht. For an idea of how high and how long Evergreen's potential share price can further rise,consider this: The current bull market started in march 2009 and it is already more than 6 years old. However Evergreen's share price had started falling from its record high of rm 2.16 in 2007 until it bottomed out below rm0.50 in December 2014 i.e. about 6 years of decline.Its share price started rebounding in January 2015 until today for 6 months. Thus Evergreen's bull run is about 6 months old as compared to the global stock market bull run of 6 years.This implies that the general stock market is already fully or over valued in an aging bull market.Evergreen,being a significant laggard is seeing a profit turnaround and is now being recognised as under valued in comparison to the whole stock market. No wonder some investment funds are pouring into Evergreen now, especially when it is still trading below its NTA per share. You can say that it is one of the rare jewels left in an aging bull market !
Evergreen is a good stock...but it has out run itself...almost fully valued..those who have missed the boat you may want to shift your attention to Mieco...value is slowly but surely imerging...room for further appreciation.
There's a likelihood that Evergreen may go on a consolidation mode as it has outrun itself...its a good long term stock to begin with...but I strongly feel that the market has pre factored in its earning capacity for the next quarter as well..hence its present price level...at the moment Mieco is the only one among the furniture based counters which has some potential for further appreciation...

The Greek issue, 1MDB ,China stocks correction, etc, etc are all adding to the scenario of a weak ringgit, strong dollar,and lower oil prices. All these are highly positive to Evergreen's future profitability. Looks like an excellent buying opportunity here. The ringgit is now traded at 3.80 to the dollar, back to the previous pegged exchange rate which will particularly benefit exporters in US currency.
