long way to go for it to recover back. lets see after 6pm got any share buy back announcements or not. huge volume transacted today, surely got big funds responsible for today's movement.
i think big players are accumulating enough, its time to start engine and buy their way up. anyway, too early for guesses, wait till T+3 tmrw and see how many are contras. once cleared contra players, then oni the climb can take it to the next level. hope this momentum can sustain.
One is Asian coffee and the other is western coffee. Both have their own unique aroma. Therefore, we cannot say neither Oldtown nor Starbuck is low quality. It depends on the consumers' preference. For example, everyday I drink Oldtown and only sometimes I drink Starbuck.
oldtown represents simple and local taste. Starbucks is commercialized taste. try to compare apple with apple. if comparing to ah huat, i still prefer oldtown taste. oldtown is target to middle income group, starbucks is for high income group, mamak is for low income group. so we can identity their product differentiation, most improtantly, they have been only selling white coffee since day one. that is their specialty !
amstrongkl, ur comment shows how shallow minded you are. both are in total different categories. taste and quality also depend on individual preference, i wouldn't say which is better here but Starbucks is PERCEIVED to be of higher quality because of the branding and luxurious environment/ambiance. furthermore, this in an investment forum, not food blog. go ahead an buy BJFood at all means.
I go OLDTOWN often, at least 5 times per week. Go Starbuck 1 per month the most after feel the taste changes Go Coffee Bean twice per month or more. May alter depend on which more attract me. Taste is very personal, no way to compare.
Who is Ismail Sabri – Koon Yew Yin Published: 5 February 2015 12:00 PM
Now that the Cabinet has cleared Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri, the Minister of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry, for his racially-inciting comments on Facebook, I would like to suggest that he be given leave from his position to undergo a course in Business Economics 101.
This is because, apart from his racist mindset, he is the man who was earlier responsible for the plastic fish box controversy when he was Minister for Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism, and as a result of which, fish prices shot through the roof for a period of time.
He was also the man behind the fiasco concerning school bus operators who were provided with short notice to buy new buses to replace old school buses. This was a move which he had to back down from when the bus operators threatened a shutdown of services.
In the kopitiam, when the government's new policies were first announced, besides the public anger, there was much speculation on who would benefit from these measures that would raise the price of fish and school transportation. Certainly not the fishermen or school bus drivers. Perhaps the companies providing the plastic boxes or school bus distributors? Perhaps their runners?
Ismail Sabri's public service
On second thought, I think that the minister does not need to undergo any business course. This is because, if the blogosphere is to be listened to, he does seem to know a lot about business, especially unreasonable profits and monkey business.
Thus a reader in one of the more respectable pro-Umno blogs operated by Datuk Ahirudin Atan, or more popularly known as "Rocky's Bru" had in July 2012 penned the following advice for other readers on Ismail:
"Bro Rocky, get the scoop on Companies Commission of Malaysia's tales of corruption, abuse of power and lies brokered by Sabri."... comment made at 6.25am on Rocky's Bru.
This is a cryptic comment from an insider who appears to know a lot more than he has put on record. Even if we may not think much of the titillating comment, at least it is still out there for the whole world to read and ponder.
This is in contrast to the Minister's Facebook comments on Chinese traders which have been erased since he now claims that he was not directing his comments at Chinese traders only!
On his side though, we have a prominent columnist in one of the news daily claiming that Ismail has never dabbled in race and religion since the columnist knew him seven years ago. The columnist also says that Ismail's colleagues in law school speak well about him. Well, perhaps the columnist is right but then he may be wrong, and we may be seeing the minister in his true colours.
So, if that were the case, then it could be futile to send the minister back to business school or to a course on "basics of political integrity" as many think he is unlikely to learn anything. Instead, I suggest that the best thing for detractors to do is to uncover the full record of his service or his disservice to the nation as the case may be.
Let's put the political correctness aside and hang out the dirty laundry in the public arena so all Malaysians can know the true quality of the leaders that we have. – February 5, 2015.

saufi, pergi main jauh sikit kalau nak boikot, jangan ganggu kami cari duit. Franklin latest stand is at near 10% acquisition liao. hopefully all the way till RM2 by the time quarter results is out! Huatttt!
no idea, probably just universal principle of buy low sell high. Since they have so many bullets, the share price is much affected by their activities, i still remember previously the price was dropping like diarrhea bcoz Franklin is the one cashing out and many traders like us also follow suit. its just a matter of time when the big traders have accumulate enough and decided to "move" the price up. hopefully coming qtr results will be the catalyst
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....
