Positive Vs Negative investors

In this post, you will see that positive investors tend to be positive no matter the condition is, compared to negative investors. Note: We must always make decision based on a sufficient homeworks, instead of some rule of thumb. In story below is based on the assumption that the company involved is a good company.

Happy Investor Vs EQ Investor: After Bought Shares - "If there was a chance,..." spell

In general, there are three situations after you have bought some shares of XYZ company (assuming XYZ company is a fundamentally excellent company, instead of profitability, cash flow and dividend return).

Situation 1: When the acquired XYZ stock UPs

EQ investor: WHY? Why I bought it so FEW. If there was a chance, I would buy more.
(Mood is down since the chance is gone. Mood downs few days even EQ investors earns money from XYW company. In the mind of EQ investor is "If there was a chance,... If there was a chance,... If there was a chance,...")

Happy investor: No bad. Mr Market eventually agrees with my judgement. Let's wait for good price to close the deal.

AHB Holdings Berhad: Qualification of Opinion in External Auditors' Report

"Qualification of Opinion in External Auditors' Report on Audited Financial Statements for the Financial Year Ended XX XXX XXXX"

The above statement is one of the red flags for investors. If your invested company has received such 'warning' sign, you must be very conscious now, and take necessary action for the company - SELL or HOLD or BUY. If you have no idea why you have such company in your portfolio, then you probably should consider to clear them out immediately.

So, what we can learn from AHB Holdings Berhad case?

Firstly, open the latest quarter report of AHB via the following links:
http://announcements.bursamalaysia.com/edms/edmswebh.nsf/all/983309B7FD27B7B248257A7A00657AE8/$File/AHB%20FY2012Q4.pdf

Next, please take note on its "Revenues" from its income statement, that is, 3.5million per quarter and 17.4million per year.
 

Everything is Electronic Now: Bursa Malaysia SMS me!

"RM0.00 COMPANY NAME dividend RM AMOUNT paid out to your bank a/c on DATE - Bursa Depository."

This is the first SMS from Bursa Malaysia to my personal mobile phone. It tells me that one my invested company bank-in dividend to me. What a good idea. However, why it is just started to be implemented? Maybe nobody thought this idea previously. Or simply because the technology is just completed (due to security issues, most of the time).

Happy Investor Vs EQ Investor: When stock price is DOWN

Day 1:

When Happy and EQ Investors have seen Stock XYZ falls 20% from $1.00 to $0.80, both of them have the same idea - What is good chance to cheap buy some XYZ company's shares.

After few days

The price dives further to $0.75.
Happy investor: Nobody can predict future or can predict other people behaviour in short term, so who knows got people want to cheap sell Stock XYZ in the short term. I am not able to predict human being behaviour and thought, especially I have no idea who are going to buy or sell or hold the stock.
EQ investor: My money is stuck!!! Bad stock!! Shit!!! Lame!!!

Happy Investor Vs EQ Investor: When stock price is UP

Day 1:

When Happy and EQ Investors bought Stock XYZ at the same price of $1.33, and immediately the price drops to $1.30.
Happy investor: Nobody can predict future or can predict other people behaviour in next seconds, so who knows got people want to cheap sell. It is very normal as the change of weather daily.
EQ investor: I bought it too earlier. If I just wait for seconds, then I could cheap buy Stock XYZ. If..., then... If..., then... (unlimited possibility of IF..., Then.. in his mind for days)

GAS MALAYSIA BERHAD (GASMSIA) : Little Analysis and Insight

Based on the Prospectus notes of GAS MALAYSIA BERHAD (GASMSIA) from Bursa Malaysia,
page 159: Historical audited consolidated Financial information: profit after tax (PAT) in 2011 is around RM229million.

Next, go to page 187: 12.4 Proforma consolidated balance sheets: Proforma II - After proforma I and IPO: total number of share is 1,284million.

Based on these two informations, we can get EPS of GASMSIA = 17.83sen.

Since the IPO price for retailer is RM2.20, PE = 2.2/0.1783 = 12.34.

NTA = RM0.71.

Compared to KENCANA PETROLEUM BERHAD PE, GASMSIA looks more attractive.

However, can GASMSIA maintains or even grow its EPS in future? More investigation and time are needed.

HeveaBoard Berhad (Hevea, 5095) : 2011 Performance Review

Since the annual report haven't come out, this review only based on the last four quarter reports of HeveaBoard (Hevea, 5095).
Firstly, let's have a look at the activities from the four quarters as follows:

Quarter 1, 2011
"The lower PBT was due mainly to the lower USD exchange to Ringgit as more than 80% of the Group’s revenues were derived from the export market and transacted in US Dollars that had resulted in lower revenues and profit margins.
The production volume for particleboard was lowered due to short supply of wood material caused by the severe flood encountered in the early part of the year and prolong rainy season.
Prospect for the current financial yearThe Group expects the particleboard prices to improve further and RTA furniture to be stable with
increasing demand."

HeveaBoard Berhad (Hevea, 5095) : The Potential of China Market and its Operation Segments

In the previous post, we have study some background information of HeveaBoard Berhad (Hevea, 5095). But two questions haven't been discussed, that are:
1. How are the profits of Particleboard manufacturing sector and Ready to Assemble (“RTA”) furniture sector, and which one has better profitability?
2. Is it significant for HeveaBoard to export 50% of its particle board to China market? These two questions will be discussed further in the coming post.

Therefore, in this post, we will step-by-step discuss two of these questions?

1. From the fourth quarter quarter report of Hevea, Segmental Reporting, as stated below:

HeveaBoard Berhad (Hevea, 5095) : Introduction and Background Study

In this post, I am going to share my homework about HeveaBoard (Hevea, 5095). Still different strategy I use to evaluate Hevea Board since Hevea made a Restructuring Schemeunder Section 176 of the Companies Act 1965 pursuant to the Court Order dated 14 December 2009 to overcome the unprecedented drastic fluctuation in currency exchange rates against the USDollars at the end of 2008/early 2009. Therefore, as you can see from the table below, Hevea only managed to earn 1sen in the financial year 2008 and its market price reached less than 20sen only.

More Specific Title and Direction for Xaivier Blog: From Penny to Blue chip in Stock Market Investmen - Announcement

Start from today, I have set a more specific title and direction for Xaivier Blog after around two years blogging in Xaivier Blog and investing in stock market.
The main reason for me to make this change is I have found out what I can share with in this blog in the long term, that is, "From Penny to Blue chip in Stock Market Investment". As a value investor, I like to find potential Blue chip companies and buy them when they are still penny stock. Although somebody may said what I invest in this kind of companies is the so-called growing company, it doesn't matter. Because the core objective of investment is to earn money instead of distinguish the terms or jargon used. In fact, for me, growing is also one of values which investors should consider as well.

MMODE (0059): Employee Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”) 2011

Here is some of my homework of MMODE (0059). It may consist of mistakes due to human errors. So, don't take it so serious and please let me know. Thanks

According to the MMODE annual report 2010, the ESOS of MMODE actually have been given out since 25 April 2005

KEN HOLDINGS BHD (KEN, 7323) - Q3 2011: Within Expectation

Everyday, one of the happy activities I do is to read the financial reports of my invested companies. What I feel about from the financial report is that it is really very difficult to earn 10sen from RM1.00 annually. You may think that it is a easy task. Let me clarify properly: get profit from RM0.10 from RM1.00 annually is equivalent to interest rate of 10% annually, which is 300% more than our current fixed deposit rate (around 3.3%). So, are you still think it is a easy task to complete annually?

Let's go back to the main focus today, KEN (7323) third quarter report also comes out already. So far so good. After receiving so many Cash from receivable, finally, KEN did what I expect it to do from last quarter, that is, CAPEX.

OPCOM HOLDINGS BHD (OPCOM, 0035) Q3 Quarter Report 2011: So Far So Good.

Personally, I quite like OPCOM business even using the special dividend I received from OPCOM to top up some more OPCOM shares to enjoy the grow of its future earning. Although this Q3 report is relatively less attractive compared to preceding year's corresponding quarter and preceding quarter, OPCOM still maintain its attractive areas (Zero borrowing, low CAPEX, Strong Cash flow, lots of Cash).

Let's take a look at what OPCOM comments from its Q3 report:
Review of Performance
The Group registered revenue of RM22.6 million and profit before tax of RM6.7 million in current quarter as compared to revenue and profit before tax of RM34.5 million and RM9.3 million respectively in the preceding year's corresponding quarter. The sales of the Group's products was affected by the festive season which resulted in lower revenue contribution in current quarter. However, profit before tax margin for the current quarter was higher as there was relatively more sales of higher margin products.

M-MODE BERHAD (MMODE, 0059) - Q3 2011 :Keep Moving and Growing

When Stock Market Reaches its Bottom - Based on Global semiconductor industry association Sales Reports

Unpredictable Market Trend- Based on FBMKLCI, the bull started from 2003 May to 2004 Mar, then continued adjustment for around 2.5 years. The strong bull continues climbing the mountain from Jun 2006 to the peak at Dec 2007 (around 1.5 years). After that, the bear came immediately started from Jan 2008 to Oct 2008 (around 10 months), then a baby bull was reborned and grow slowly for Nov 2008 to March 2009 (around 5 months). When the baby bull was strong enough, it started to climb the mountain from April 2009 to Jun 2011 (around 2.2 years). So, what will happen next? What can we refer to?

Based on Global semiconductor industry association Sales Reports, when all the negative news were reported (December 2008 to April 2009) only during the FBMKLCI market reached its bottom (Nov 2008 to March 2009). However, this is the hardest period for all investors when all negative and bad news continue bomb-blasting the mind of investors to make bad decision (selling their shares in the bottom of the market).

Bursa Malaysia: How to Find Announce of Listed Companies

As an investor, it is very crucial to find the first hand information of their invested company. Newspaper, however, does not give all the latest announcement of all listed companies in Bursa Malaysia. Therefore, as a shareholder, it is good idea to update your company yourself from Bursa Malaysia official website. In Bursa Malaysia, announcements are sorted into Current, History and Archives. All the latest announcement can be found in Current. Previous announcements that were published in last several months can be found in History. Archives records all older announcements that cannot be found in Current and History.

In this post, I am going to share with you how to check the announcements of listed companies in Bursa Malaysia.
