“No Eye See” Value Investing kcchongnz
The selloff that struck the US stock market ripped through Bursa in October 2018 as fears of slowing economic growth, escalation of trade war between US and China, and rising interest rates spoke investors. The downgrading of the outlook for global growth to 3.7% in 2018 worsen the situation. The jump in volatilities of the markets is causing a lot of anxiety to the market players.
Historically too, October is known as one of the roughest months for investing in the stock market. It gives investors the jitters amid fears of the “October Effect”.
The Dow has tumbled by 6.4%, or 1728 points since the beginning of the month of October 2018. Bursa follows suit and lost closed to 100 points, or 5.4% so far for this month. From the beginning of the year to the close on 23rd October 2018, FBMKLCI has lost 5.5%. Not too bad actually.
For those who dabbles in the mid and small cap stocks, which kcchongnz is one, the loss could be devastating as the FBM Small Cap Index has lost a whopping 23% year to date. You may also refer to the result of those participated in the stock pick challenge for this year to see how bad it really is.
Below are the charts of two small cap stocks which have been touted for the past year by “The One” who is the most active commentator in i3investor with numerous nicks; qqq cube, Stockmanny, Brightsmart, Desa etc. etc.
Figure 1: Share price movement of Jaks
Figure 2: Share price movement of Eversendai
The notorious character above has been shouting two famous words for these two stocks; “sailing” and “margin”. He uses his “dynamite” investing, “panic moment”, whatever they mean. He advocated people to put all their money in these stocks, and even more, to do it with using margin finance to punt on Jaks and Sendai at above RM1.50 and RM1.20 respectively.
The share price of Jaks and Sendai closed at 96 sen and 72.5 sen respectively on 24th October 2018. They have lost a whopping 47% and 33% respectively from their peaks this year.
Imagine with the margin finance, say at 50%, how much punters have lost this year? 94%?
That is how bad the market has been this year in Bursa. Really “No Eye See”!
Since the stock market is so bad, it is the best time to bash those value investors again. Here is one of the numerous comments everyday by this usual character,

where are all the value investors? They are never around when u need them....and they hang around when u don't need them.]
I would like to thank the above very much for his concern. I am fine, perfect and still around. What do you need from me?
I have been very happy with my value investing during the normal time since 10 years ago with returns many times more than the return of the broad market. You can read them in the links below,
https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/175060.jsp
https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/176865.jsp
https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/177480.jsp
Those were established records published in i3investor from 6 years ago, and not just hearsay.
However, I am not able to replicate the same kind of return for this year so far, but definitely it is far better, in fact there is simply no comparison, when compared to the touted stocks of Jaks and Sendai above, which has lost 47% and 33% respectively from their peaks this year.
Kcchongnz value investing in 2018
I have selected 6 stocks for the year 2018 for my stock pick service. 5 of the stocks were chosen basing on my normal value investing principles and methodologies as described in the links below,
https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/161473.jsp
https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/kcchongnz/162226.jsp
I seriously think this is a right path to pursue in investing to build long-term wealth, slowly, steadily, surely and safely. I sincerely hope those who are not savvy in investing to read through and act and not procrastinate any further as the future of your financial wellbeing is not a “play play” thingy.
The portfolio of 5 value stocks return an average of 2.3% this year as shown in Table 1 in the Appendix. It is nothing great at all, but aren’t they better than the loss of 23% of the mid and small cap stocks, and especially the loss of 47% and 33% respectively for Jaks and Sendai.
So, thank you very much. Value investor like me is still okay lah.
As for another of my good friend here,

OTB, KC Chong where are they? Why bear market they run away?]
Thanks also for your concern. As there is really not much excitement in the “bear” stock market now, I have “no eye see” and have been “running away” to some local and regional holiday destinies with my university mates and family and enjoying my golf, some beer, and chit chatting for nothing with my golfing kakis. In fact I have been doing this all the time, whether it is a bull market, or a bear market. I really don’t like to glue to the computer screens looking at the green, red or white colours. I have also been reading some interesting books such as “Billion $ Whale”, “Sarawak Report”, “Thinking fast and slow”, and re-reading the value investing books of Coldeye. Also trying to see my parents more often, but not enough.
Most of all, I enjoy answering questions to my online investment course participants. I have also been doing a lot of analysis on stocks and writing them up for my stock pick service participants. I have also spent a lot of time for my practical investing course this time for those online course participants who wish to learn in depth on value investing in financial statement analysis and various valuations, and for various industiries such as manufacturing, trading, construction, plantation and financial institutions. It is my hobby. Best of all, I can do it in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Taiping, Vietnam, in China, Auckland, or Singapore.
Stock market? No eye see.
Are you interested to be one of us as a stress-free value investor, or to get some value stock ideas?
If so, you may email me at,

Dear all,
The real smart Sifu OTB already temporarily retired from i3 to get away from the noises/cursing and stay sideline for the headwind and prefect storm to blow over. He will be spoiled of choice with the beat down value stocks and I am sure he will picked many multibagger stocks when the storm and noises settle down in year 2019 or 2020. I am looking forward to his recommendation.
As posted by FamousAmos: bash qqq3 the stupid fool! qqq3 rightly deserve it for his double-talk, PLP king and double head snake from advocate of sailing and margin to flexible small fry trader, trading his dignity for crumb and still has the audacity to talk 3, talk 4 and talk cock in i3. Lol.
By the way luckily qqq3 did not walk the talk otherwise he will need to trade his backside for a song to pay off his debt.
Thank you.

Many ways to lose money in this bear market, so many shares at multi years low....surely not restricted to Jaks and Sendai.
Of course. jaks only lost 50% from its peak, and Sendai >40%. Sap sap sui lah with margin finance.
But watch out for Sendai. Margin call will come soon and there will be bloodbath soon.
What about your Genting warrant bought at RM1.07 just 7 months ago? 3 sen now only you know.
Bornoil at 10 sen? CPIP at RM2.25? Taan at RM4.79? Jayatiasa at RM1,35? etc?
Tell us the secrete how you made three times from your RM100k capital the last two years with all those above purchases?
2018-10-25 15:24
kc chong...the answer is simple....I am a trader.....All the stocks u mention above I have bought before....and many others....
what concerns me are not those stocks....but the stocks I bought this week.....
I have dodged all the 2108 bullets....but this week purchases cannot dodge.......
2018-10-25 15:42
kc chong...my problem is this....portfolio size grew to 300%......bigger the portfolio, even a 10% loss is equivalent to 30% of original portfolio., a 20% loss is equivalent to 60% of original portfolio.....in nominal value terms.

So you bought Genting warrant at RM1.07 March this year and sold it at RM3.21 in 2015.
Is that how you trebled your RM100k?
2018-10-25 15:55
I made a lot of money from Jaks and Sendai....
Genting w...some....and other kinds of shares...I also make money from Bornoil and JTiasa....amongst those u mentioned.....Taan and CP, cannot remember already whether profit or loss.

What a great way to earn a pittance! Good on you.

Could be just bullshitting
I think you have future in investing in stock with this mind set. Only a small percentage of what is published in the internet space is real.
Yes, a lot of what people say about their good returns are likely to be bullshitting too. For example, this character here, the most active commentator in i3investor, said he tripled his stock value in the last two years, but he never explained how he did it and there is no way to verify it.
But for some, you can see their sharing of stocks published with many analysis all over the years, their philosophy and methodologies, evidences etc. You just have to read them and judge yourself.
Yes, never take anything at face value in the internet space.

Choices and decisions in stock market are not related to what people say and write......
in stock market, choices and decisions people make are related to habits and character.
habits and character are more reliable indicators of what people do in stock market.
stock market, full of talk east go west, talk 3 talk 4., full of BS and full of beating round the bush.....and depends on the agenda of the writer.

Hope you like this view from atom to universe.

Human is able to rule the planet earth because we are the only species that able to us our limitless mind to imagine and hence able to inspired (thro’ story telling, writing and speech) to unite us in millions for better or for worse. The same imagination helps us in discovering many theory of Physic, chemistry and biology for the advancement of science. Our imagination helps us to create the rules of god and rules of law so that our conducts are complied with certain rule for mutual benefit and humanity. Our imagination helps us to create value in piece of paper thus create value and commerce. Our conscience helps to guide us to be ethical and finally the vastness of universal and our inescapable final destination death helps us to have humility.
Dear qqq3,
I am disappointed with you despite numerous explanations by KC you still remain clueless as of what value investor about and where you get the information, “last 12 months, the value investors lost until father mother cannot recognise.....”
Value investors are the hardworking people going thro’ the annual financial report, getting relevant information from internet and make some assumptions as of what the future earning look like then we classified the stocks as growth stock (reasonable PE with solid cash flow and increasing revenue) or value play stock (Low PE with solid assets) we then allocated a certain capital to each of the stocks. We are flexible in selling some of these stocks when we feel that the stocks already achieved our TP and we carried out periodic review and make some rebalancing on our holding when opportunity or our assumption had change to valid an adjustment.
I had never used any derogatory word to hit at any person before and you are the first and hopefully the last. Know why? Posted by hollandking > Oct 29, 2018 12:29 AM | Report Abuse
