Good.

Hong Kong-based GMT Research, which published a report accusing budget airline AirAsia of dubious accounting practices, is saying that this report was "stolen" and published unintentionally.

The June 10 report wasn't meant for public consumption, GMT Research founder Gillen Tulloch said.

It was meant for subscribers who pay the company a "substantial amount of money", Tulloch is quoted as saying by business dailyThe Malaysian Reserve (TMR) today.

The financial analyst claimed that a client had copied the report and uploaded it on the Internet.

"If we find out who stole our research, we will get our lawyers to send them a cease and desist letter," Tulloch said.

The June 10 report caused AirAsia Bhd's share to plunge by almost 20 percent, causing it to shed some RM1.2 billion in market capitalisation

The GMT Research report also questions the airline's “accounting, profit generation, cash-flow issues, leverage and group structure,” Tulloch is quoted as saying by Bloomberg on June 12.

Tulloch denied that his company’s report was used for short-selling activities.

"Clearly, we won't deny that the publicity generated has been good for us," he told TMR.

AirAsia. .


Buy AirAsia for LOW JET FUE PLAY... LOW JET FUEL PLAY.... which is sound



According to results....

Aircraft fuel expenses for 2014: 2,254,237,000

Say, fuel consumption remains more or less the same and say, the average jet fuel price has dropped a mere 25% (vs 50% for crude.. easier la like this no need to really know how many % is hedged at how much... a drop of 25% is reasonable) So... 2,254,237,000 × 25% = 563,559,250 ie saving for 2015 roughly


The saving due to low fuel price for 2015 would be RM 563,559,250 before RM 60,000,000 say for fuel surcharge.... a bloody big figure no matter how you look at it


AirAsia's low jet fuel play is sound... and the reason for all the IBs' Buy call


I still believe ; )



At the price now... it is getting even too low for Mat Salleh to exit

Fat cat...


WB experienced his personal ZEN moment with airlines before attaining enlightenment... and the guru status that he is today


I see it as... I am at the moment on the same path as WB and a step closer to attaining enlightenment and the status to WB...



HAHAHA


Joke aside.... if WB has seen AirAsia before.. he would definitely have a very different view of airlines... and approve.. and will say.. "This is how airlines should be run... as a mean of transport.. not a luxurious thingy... well done AirAsia!!"

WB may not been looking into any airlines at all after his ZEN moment... his loss

Anyway.. WB has made many mistakes in the sense that he has misssed many opportunities due to his bias...


I am pretty sure WB till now thinks the max for the NASDAQ should be no more than 1000... and FACEBOOK is a total scam and GOOGLE will collapse tomorrow..

AirAsia AirAsia




Firstly.... Urgency!! Urgency!!!

GMT has painted it so urgent like... like AirAsia was going bankrupt the next day after its report....


Is it really so urgent???


NOT according to the auditors PwC


PwC didn't qualify IAA PAA as non going concerns


PwC didn't even impair the amounts due from IAA PAA... this would be after reviewing their cash-flow projections... of course




GMT has put what might happen in the next few years... with all its negetive assumptions too... to happen in like all of 30 days

No chance to do anything... just die


If it is not so urgent.... surely... say.. if.. big if.. there are really problems.. surely Tony can do something about it




Secondly.....


Are the debts due from IAA PAA a lot for an airline???


See la our very own new airline.... Flymojo..... to operate in a population of just 30m people


Kurang kurang 5.5b...




The statement said based on the list price of the CS100 aircraft, a firm order would be valued at approximately US$1.47 billion (RM5.44 billion), and could increase to US$2.94 billion (RM10.87 billion), should flymojo exercise all its options.

the story is non fiction u know, the man timetravel from years 3000 is real. KIKIKI...

Surely that time travelling fella if anything is talking about MAS la ... Not AirAsia... Time travelling always messes with the brain and memory a bit...



Muller tak jadi? IMHO he stands a good chance.. albeit with a small little symbolic national airline working substantially on the LCC biz model..


A profitable national airline nontheless... just dont ask why it is so small and not quite so prestigious.. MAS would eventually be profitable aand a symbolic national pride and thank goodness no longer eating up taxpayers money

AirAsia will be profitable and shine

MAS working substantially on LCC business model will be profitable and shine
