Mas have been trending downward for two days after a long uptrend movement.....is it the time to buy back??as for me...there is potential within this stock...yes...sectorial wise it might be too clumsy...but....opportunity is still there...with the new management, and collaboration with airasia things at MAS could see some improvement...airasia temporarily cut routes to london is a signal that, both of this company are working on something to synergies to create a cost efficient structure...so whose the losser in this case??? Consumer?whose the winner?investor?........i would say...consumers wont lost much,for malysian at least.and..investors is surely be the winner.....the colaboration will brings profit to MAS n AIrasia...but this will not make the consumers a total loser...they will cater to the locals needs but at the same times ripped profit from the region...Airasia has gone regional, MAS go for premium long haul +some routes that operates for economical consumers surender by airasia......in a nutshell, i'm very positive on this stock....what do u think?
