Hi Singh1, I may be wrong on this, but I think your conclusion on price alone as a factor of investing in stocks is pretty flawed. Example, the house I bought in puchong was pretty low for a good 10 years before suddenly the price jump to catch the value of the location in recent years. So price and value is unconnected from my opinion,
In 2009( best year in Malaysia), rce did around 200m revenue, the net assets per share is 40 cents, earnings is 9 cents. In 2018( after the worst set of years in Malaysia), rce did around 245m revenue, net assets per share is 151 cents, earnings is 26 cents.
If you assume that IMDb d didn't exist, and market factors from our spending (usd3.0 to usd4.5 exc) has no effect on business, then yes fd would have been a much better investment. But imagine if you had bought 10k every quarter from 2009-2018( knowing that you had a solid business and just keep on buying consistently), the dollar cost averaging itself u would realize that your average buying cost + dividend would be around rm1.20.
So my question is, do you think our country which had 7 years of bad economy will be balanced out by 7 years of good economy in the future? ( Past results doesn't guaranteed future performance)
And if you think Malaysia will catch a break sooner or later, do you think a company that averages 36% net profit during the bad times will outperform during the good times?
Basically it's like buying that semi-d in puchong for 300k, you don't know what the value will be like, but the location will almost guarantee value sooner or later.
Hope this gives you more clarity. Until then, buy and hold!
Choivo, read ur research. Like the company because of the valuation. Looks super cheap. But got some questions. Hope u can answer. Sorry gonna be a bit long.
1) Why would anyone want to borrow money at 15-20%? Bank rakyat and mbsb is charging less than half of that. Does it mean that does that borrow from rce are those that got rejected by other instituition. Does this mean the clients are more risky? Or does it mean that rce is less stringent in giving out loan?
2) If other institutions growth for civil servant loan is slowing down, why do u think rce growth can accelerate? Should it not be at least growing (if not slowing) at the same rate as other instituition? I mean bank rakyat will still try n chase the same customer as rce right?
3) Previously mbsb also has a low NPL compared to other banks. But when the merger deal between rhb, cimb and mbsb were launch, due diligence finding show that mbsb actually is way lineant in recognising NPL. Is it the same case for RCE? I mean if they are getting clients which are rejected by MBSB, it should also mean that the clients are riskier which means NPL should be higher as well. Is there a risk of bnm forcing them to recognise any npl more stringently in line with other banks?
4) Recently becoz of the high household debt, even public servants and glc employees find it hard to apply for loan. Some of the glc has stricten the condition to enable employee to apply for a salary deduction. If not mistaken they have reduce the maximum net salary ratio to debt payment to 60% from the previous 75%. This would affect business like rce right?
5) Another risk is that the company business is dependent on the size of the civil servant. From my understanding the new govt is planning to reduce the civil servant size. Currently i think they have already reduce and slow down new hires. Those position that are already retired are not being replace (just asked any of ur friends working w the govt). Most new hire are based on contract (not entitled to salary deduction scheme). This would potentially reduce the company business right?
rce macam yes. But i don't like their balance sheet. Any loan default then gg. Yes ROE is high, it's because of debt-leveraged business model, something like airasia.
Agreed LaoTze, however I'm going to hang on a for a while longer, it's also difficult to see where any growth is going to come from eventually, under their current strategy.
this thing is used to finance a lot of his friends business that Arab Malaysia cannot do....and a lot of his pet projects that Arab Malaysia cannot do and will not do.....
Despite my position being large and thus unable to top up significant amounts, i generally find moments when prices drop for RCECAP to be quite useful. Because it its during these moments, that everyone let loose with all their pent up critique. Whether real or imaginary, logical or spurious.
And every time i read the critiques, i can't help but feel inclined to buy a bit more.
I kind of wish i saw this drop coming and made money on the difference, i did in fact have a feeling, but i've all but removed most action triggers related to technical or sentiment from within my system.
Well, whatever you're going to do, good luck. I know what i'll be doing.
I don't see it as fun read at all. Hmmm...with your sceptical mindset, it should be the article is trying to feed u all that u want to hear, while he is at the other side selling u all his rce shares. Unethical, should we report to SC?
I just bought at RM1.50. I believe this counter will be stable around RM1.6 to RM1.7. Moreover, got dividend around 4% per year. As long as Sino:US trade over no negative news. FBMKLCI Market will go up around 1700.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....

It does. Study what happened in 2013-2014.

singh1 The observation was made with reference to data from google as follows. I wonder too if the data takes into account all changes that have occurred during the said period.
