BAT looks like a potential 10 bagger then

but their NP has reduced ...

Posted by ChinaDragon > 2020-05-08 16:22 | Report Abuse

Yes..gooddaymate ,first 3Q 2018 v 2019. Dropped 30%. But stock price has also dropped, even more at 70%.

Last Q19 report (n dividends) will be announced 4 weeks from now. Need to monitor that esp. the sales part to see how much it drop further. Note that earnings actually improved in 3Q vs 2Q.This was due to cost control measure but sales continued to decline.

If they can maintain sales at 3Q levels over 2020 then looking at 9+% dividends. If things improve, say enforcement becomes more effective, then there is a big upside. Of course, risk is that sales continue to deteriorate.

But it looks like a falling knife to me. There's no guarantee they can come up with effective measure to counter the smuggling.

are most ppl into dividend investing?

If you're a growth stock investor, then you must sell the stock in order to realize the profit?

Posted by Wellington Sky > 2020-05-08 16:44 | Report Abuse

My investment portfolio has both income+capital gains, and capital gains only. Roughly about 70:30 now.

For both I will sell to take profit, but maybe not all the position.

Posted by SweetMemoryLane > 2020-05-08 16:45 | Report Abuse

for those without dividend, for example an ETF that doesn't distribute dividend, if I sell it to take some profit and buy it again, doesn't it look silly?
but if I don't sell, then it takes a dip and stuck there for years, then how?

for dividend stocks, it's no problem. For growth stocks, how do we handle this?

Posted by Wellington Sky > 2020-05-08 16:46 | Report Abuse

For dividends stocks, once it go ex, the prices will drop. So in effect you are also selling out/take profit. Only in this case, you are forced to, not by choice. U can then use the dividends to spend, or invest in another stock with better risk/reward or reinvest in that stock again.

For pure capital gains, now you have a choice. Here, you are not forced to take profit. You sell it because you need the money or you see other better opportunities in terms of risk/reward.

For etf, say it has performed well but you are starting to get a bit nervous but at same time you are FOMO. You can first stop adding more money into it, and leave it be n monitor. If you are DCA type, then that already reduce ur risks.

If you get more nervous, then you can take some money off the table. You don't have to sell it all or even most.just a small %, as long as the transaction cost makes sense. Fund investors call this"rebalancing". You can put the proceeds into another stock or etf.

In my case, I have price target. Hit target then it will be on watch list to sell, but I wont sell yet until it reach some sort of resistance. I will then sell some, most or all depending on the outlook as I see it.

as always. Thanks for sharing your thought!

I sell to lock in profit.

Posted by SweetMemoryLane > 2020-05-08 16:52 | Report Abuse

alipay88 ,but if you sell when it reaches a resistance, and then it rises again, you buy again? Isn't that silly?

Posted by alipay88 > 2020-05-08 16:54 | Report Abuse

SweetMemoryLane, Buy when drop. Otherwise stay out.

You will feel even more stupid if you sell n make profit, buy back again and lose your profit and probably even more.

Guys, Apart from the hype on equipment manufacturer like TopGloves/Hartalega/Supermax, what about those that own medical centres like KPJ Healthcare and Sunway(medical centre) ? Though sunway’s main profit aint from healthcare

Posted by MoneyMaker168 > 2020-05-08 17:02 | Report Abuse

ChinaDragon , I see, it is more a hype and market sentiment.

Hospital business should be as usual.

How can private hospital profitability sky rocket due to virus, (that may result share price sky rocketing) is beyond my understanding.

Healthcare equipment, gloves mask manufacturers, pharmaceutical related, yes, as business will be good. Hospital?

Posted by Wellington Sky > 2020-05-08 17:02 | Report Abuse

MoneyMaker168 ChinaDragon , Hospital should be nil impact. AS this counters are NOT for PROFIT position.

And much healthcare in malaysia are relying on tourism healthcare; and they dont have solutions for current coronavirus.

just a recreate version of similar test for testing and vaccine.

Malaysia biolabs/tech not even there yet as compare to intl counterparts.
