Today since the bull market started, it's getting more difficult to find good bargains near the bottom. I would say Affin is one now. For other than Affin there was Cresbuilder only two weeks ago but has since rallied 20%. Most importantly you must do a bit of your own research. investing in shares is taking calculated risk to maximize gains A bull market like now comes once in a decade or so.

But the price is keep closing down. What is the moat that can start the uptrend..

Posted by titus > 2017-06-15 20:24 | Report Abuse

It does look like the price is closing down. But if we look carefully, there is no seller. Seller park at much higher price.

Your case too much concentration in Affin. I'm spread out over a dozen counters a one stage, some which I have totally exited like OSKVI, Ancom, Malton, PUC etc. Some I am adding more like Affin-CV, Insas-WB etc.

Do not chase Affin!!! Someone said it will drop to 2.55 or even 2.50. ;-)

Hi TheContrarian, who say drop to 2.50? Sound more like sarcasm.....lol...
Anyway, i'm glad i did add some earlier. Looking to continue to add more if indeed it drop.

TheContrarian, install the KLSE Screener app in your smart phone or tablet pc. Within the KLSE Screener app there's a menu with built-in Chinese-English translator which should give you a fairly decent, intelligible translation.

I think the problem is my Nokia phone OS which is Windows 8.

Posted by yuanlong57 > 2017-06-17 12:30 | Report Abuse

Oh, I see. The problem lies in the proprietary Symbian OS used by Nokia phone. Not compatible with the Android-based KLSE Screener.

Posted by TheContrarian > 2017-06-17 12:38 | Report Abuse

Windows 8 not Symbian OS. My Nokia is a Lumia.

TheContrarian, I think you may be in luck. My internet search shows there is also a Free KLSE Screener (Bursa) APK for Windows 8.
Version: 0.9.8.11
Developer: neobie

I have downloaded and installed but there no translator button in my version.

Try to check firmware update.

Posted by yuanlong57 > 2017-06-17 14:41 | Report Abuse

If the firmware is the latest, I suppose it should also feature the same menu functions.

Posted by yuanlong57 > 2017-06-18 07:22 | Report Abuse

TheContrarian, try these procedures.
Run your KLSE SCREENER.
1. Menu > Market > Search > Watch > News
2. Tab @ News.
3. Select any Chinese article by tabbing at the screen.
4. At the top right corner of screen, you'll see 3 white squares.
5. Tab @ the 3 white squares.
A pop-up with 5 submenus appears.
6. Choose the 5th submenu 文Translate
Bingo, the entire article will be automatically translated into English.
Note: The procedures I've stated here are based on the Android version of KLSE Screener installed on my Huawei Mate 9.

I think only Android and Apple phones have "news" in the menu.

Posted by yuanlong57 > 2017-06-18 08:47 | Report Abuse

If "News" is available for Android and Apple phones, there is no reason why it is left out in Windows 8 Lumia. Could it be subhidden under some kind of pop-up menu? Sorry, there's so much I can help here.

I tried clicking every menu and sub-menu still can't find news. I have bursa announcement menu. I have world stock index display. Anyway, thanks. I'm glad I downloaded it as I can view world stock index easily now. Thanks.

Not at all. Can suggest to the app developer to add this feature. Otherwise, wait for another firmware update.

I see that LBAlum that you've been nurturing since acquiring it @ 0.78 has been appreciating in considerable capital value these days. Looks tempting to me.

Posted by TheContrarian > 2017-06-18 10:14 | Report Abuse

I think I bought in April or last month when price corrected after breaching 70 sen first time. Felt it was undervalued then since I read aluminum price has been rising. But I didn't have time to research the company. It was grab first and hope for the best.

Do you have any specific time-price projection for LBAlum?

No, I'll only assess it after it releases its QR this month.

KUALA LUMPUR: Two Malaysian banks - Malayan Banking Bhd (Maybank) and Affin Bank Bhd - were honoured at The Asian Banker Risk Management Awards and Risk Technology Implementation Awards 2017 held in Singapore earlier this month.

Maybank bagged the Achievement in Risk Management Award while Affin netted Liquidity Risk Technology Implementation of the Year.

In a statement on Tuesday, Affin Bank said it was able to improve its operational efficiency, reporting capabilities, and risk analysis, and achieve its overall objective of improved risk management and business decision-making, by implementing Moody’s Analytics solutions.

“The implementation of these solutions has further strengthened Affin’s risk management capabilities, in line with the recently launched Affinity — a strategic transformation programme of the group,” said Affin Bank managing director and chief executive officer Kamarul Ariffin Mohd Jamil.

“With the ability to perform more frequent and more granular data analytics, we are in a better position to monitor and manage our risk exposures in accordance with our risk appetite, and to institute early corrective action when required.”

Affin seems to be consolidating. On one hand there are buyers slowly nibbling, on the other hand there's always desperate selling after 4pm.

Hi Shortinvestor77, thank for the link. I use google translate as was not able to read the Chinese character. Took me quite awhile to understand and was looking where is affin stand in terms of their recommendation. Could not find it.
At the end, saw BUY recommendation for Allianz and Effing Holdings. I guess Effing = Affin...lol
