Very wise words from a famous source.

>>>>>>>>>

Many governments require large investors to periodically report their holdings. These filings are public. One can compare reports between periods to see which stocks talented professionals bought.

In America, money managers with at least $100 million in assets under management are required to file a quarterly report that lists—with some exceptions—their U.S. stock holdings. Called a 13F, the report is due 45 days after the close of a quarter. They’re posted at www.sec.gov. Check midway through February, May, August, and November.

Mining 13Fs has many limitations. Understanding them helps to make the tactic work.

The first limitation is that one has to know which professionals are worth following. Outperforming mutual fund managers are easy to spot, since their track records are public and clear. But private fund managers may share their records only with clients. And professionals that run portfolios inside larger companies—even listed ones—may never detail their histories.

One can’t really know if a professional is worth following before seeing a track record. Fame is not a proxy for performance. I am routinely struck by the high profile of some perennial laggards, and the anonymity of some total stars.

I am always amazed why brilliant investors with long IB history of recommending stocks that made millions for their clients are totally understand the radar while individuals like kcchongnz can go around selling stock pick services and e-books.

Fame is not a proxy for performance.

If only there was a way to track their performance and not their claims.

Dear valued clients,

Please note that Carimin and Penergy reported losses in the last quarter result released today and yesterday respectively.
I want to play safe in my investment, I had sold all my Oil and Gas Maintenance players stocks yesterday and today for a good profit.
I believe the quarter results of Dayang, Deleum and Serbadk may not be good, I really do not know the actual performance.
I suggest you sell them first and buy back later.
Please also read my comments in my last weekly report.

The final decision is always yours.

Thank you.

I don't get it. If you have the time to show off on your results that you gain 100%, how come you don't have the time to maintain a proper trackable portfolio?

If I told you I bought topglove and multiple splits until I bought each share at rm1 with dividends each year and I sold everything last will at rm10, would it matter?

The process is far more important than the results.

If you show off your results without tracking your progress and process, it means absolutely nothing, you know.

You learn nothing, I learn nothing, and we wasted time on something that cannot be replicated consistently.

I think one lesson we need to get out of our mind is that we should get our own twist on local investment in bursa and not parrot warren buffett directly. The market is totally different, the options are different, the investing mindset is also different.

Unlike in US markets where companies are far more regulated in their financial reporting and far less likely to cheat investors directly (although some exceptions are spectacular), asian countries are far more lax and their laws are more less controlled and punished.

We have to exercise far more care in selecting our ivestments than usual, and as such pay a far higher premium than other bursaries. However, paying more for a company you understand beats dropping money in businesses in USA that you have no clue about and cannot understand efficiently.

We should find our own heroes and leaders, and Ian yoong is a very good example.

Good money to you too.

Me and Ian both have the same concept, be aware of macro economics in industry but don't let it influence your selection of single companies.

Yes there is a lot of retail money in the market, but the fact is there will always be retail money in the market.

In the end it is always more important to select the best companies and choose the most efficient ones to invest in the future.

If you go search for diamond you will find trash. If you search in trash you can also find diamonds.

Find the excellent companies run by legendary managers, that is the best way forward.

If you can hire yourself a aragorn, legolas, gandalf, gimli etc, even if the horizon is dark, the captain of industry will lead you forward.

Famous managers in bursa,

Abdul Karim,
Dr cheah
Carl bek nielsen
Kuan Kam hon
Log boon siew
Teh teow ping
Koon poh keong
Jeffrey tan
Lim goh tong
Robert Kuok
Ananda krishnan


If you could get these people to work for you, get individuals with similar quality of character you could definitely get somewhere.

Enough bullshit, you can ask me mark to market, but when ask you to maintain a portfolio, you give so many excuses. You are so fake, its so clear.

Even the blind can see, mark to market is based on stock to stock buy and sell returns, as portfolio unrealized profit/losses are transitional until you cut loss/cut win.

Even warren buffet laugh at you la.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/warren-buffett-decries-accounting-rule-change-that-has-made-a-mess-of-berkshires-earnings-142751564.html

For my portfolio, operating earnings are what is left after you buy a stock and you sell it for profit/loss.

Selling is just as important as buying. Like your mark to market of hengyuan from 2.50 to 4.50 to 18.50. What is the point of numbers going up and down when you bought at RM8 and it goes up to RM18 (and you forget to sell and say it is worth RM35). Then it drops to 10 and you sell it off (you only make a gain of RM2), but you say you are smart. But what you didn't reveal is you bought hengyuan at RM5 because it has dropped to low low price, just to see it go down by 50% to 2.50. Then your balls shrink and you scared to buy back just as it went up to 4.50.

So now when the share price drop to RM3.60, you brain confused don't know what to do.

So in the end you give excuses la. True or not?

Can you for once in your life be honest and start an i3 portfolio to track your buy and sell?

Stop repeating on hindsight, but show your real application of investing.

You don't even have to put your real portfolio like I do.

Just start one with 100k, and plan your trades. You can buy first then promote. But you need to update your sell prices instead of simply taking bullcock everyday.

Then we can monitor if you keep talkcock everyday is based on good results or just talk only but never make money from stock market.

What are the opportunities and what are the pitfalls?

See ahead of time

What are the changes now that will alter the status 6 months or 12 months or 2 years down the road?

I think you need are becoming too optimistic. I like this article better.

https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/tradeview/2020-05-16-story-h1507063036-_Tradeview_2020_Why_is_KLCI_Bursa_Stock_Exchange_Trading_At_Record_High.jsp

As he is asking the real questions: where is the hot money coming from? Is it coming from smart money or dumb money?

I think the fact is clear. When dumb money is buying more stocks and creating far more volume than institutional, when foreign investors are huge net sellers, when institutions are taking their time slowly you realize one thing.

The recent government actions of giving out free money ( rm1 million covid loans), suspension of short selling, pumping the cash to the rich and failure of past 2 months for businesses to generate profit has made many retailers put money in stocks which is selling at on average at all time lows in March and April. The recent gains had caused more retailers to pile in with money to buy everything they see,

FOMO.
I have been holding and buying glove stocks for last 10 years.i have been to their factories, AGMs and know topglove production line building progress closely.

I believe I can rationally say a few things.

1. Not every stock dealing in gloves production is a superior company. Then why are all of them even the obscure ones are being speculated on? Retailers are lapping up anything that even resembles contributing to glove production market.
2. Those who have seen the factories can quickly gauge the production capacity. Sure, asp can go up, production can definitely maximize. But to assume that glove production can double is one thing. To assume that it can triple, earnings can reach 5x is pure speculation.
3. Now that all the retailers are in without even looking at the results, the smart money is staying or starting to sell. If you take hengyuan as an example where were retailers in 2016? When it was selling at rm3-6. But put in one good result, a big margin fueled purchase of a illiquid stock, a fast speculative increase, then suddenly everyone was buying at rm12, rm15, rm18 and speculating that hengyuan will be flying to rm35.

Look at hengyuan. Back to earth, despite a nice crack spread today.

It is right now when everyone is buying that we should be selling, and start looking for deals in industries where everyone is leaving to uncover the gems. When I first bought topglove, it's PE was around 16, with good growth and dividends. When I get to that IB is predicting tp of 13.50, and retailers and blog promoters predicting TP of 20, with trailing PE of 90, they are assuming earnings grow by 3x in the next few quarters to catch up. The best companies in the Bursa like harta and topglove were expecting to grow 15% per year.

Right now I have 5 years of growth factored into stock price climb. That is just not rational to me. This is pure speculation filled investing. This will not end well for those who bought at super bull highs.

Sorry, I'm not some sifu or great investor or some such. I will not presume to tell you to sell or buy or give some TP etc. I am learning something new everyday, the same as you. Just because CFO bought or sold doesn't mean you have to, but I bet you did not know this until I brought it up ( which is the purpose of the wonderful i3 forum to gain info).

What you should do is scuttlebutt and get as much information as possible before acting. In the end working with incomplete information you need to make a decision to buy or sell. The decision is always yours because results are never black/ white. In the short term, share price can jump in any direction, up and down. In the long run things fall into a more balanced pattern.

In the end, if you don't take a risk you gain nothing. The question is how you analyze risk.

>>>>>>>>>>
ohnmasino Philip:- Another thing that you said is that the CFO sold all his holdings at 80 cents and left the company. So, my question back to you is, just because the CFO sold all his shares at 80 cents, does that mean we should also do the same? After all, he is the CFO and has inside information so if he sold all his shares at 80 cents means we should do likewise?

It is good that you are optimistic, and there is definitely the possibility and chance that Jaks can go up to rm4.50 as per DK66 tp. But rationally since you are saying that Jaks CFO is wrong, pbb analyst is wrong, hong Leong analyst is wrong, everyone else is wrong, but you are right.

In that case with such overwhelming confidence, let me ask you a simple question: have you seen the ppa agreement of Jaks? Can you guarantee that the power plant will be fully operational by November 2020 inspite of covid 19 before LAD kicks in?

So until you have, all I can advise young investors is to invest rationally.

I encourage young investors to think rationally and not emotionally.

Understand the concept of risk. Intrinsic value margin of safety risk ( FA risk). SMA volatility in price trends ( ta risk). And Intrinsic business model and competitiveness risk ( QA risk). Obviously the entire industry is at 20 year lows. And obviously not all o&g companies will survive. But for those few wonderful companies that can survive and thrive, you will be buying cash rich companies with consistent growing revenue and earnings. A global presence that can consolidate and eat market share from bankrupted competitors. Best of all, buying a business that had double digits growth for many years with long term profits and assets, and buying it at pre IPO prices.

You just need to look at the business beyond the macros.

And also enjoy watching paint dry.

No one makes money buying gloves now. Those who made 10x, they bought it years ago.

Gambling is about putting money now to get more money in the future. Investment is about gambling with calculated risk. You could say I'm a gambler. But I could also say I only gamble in games that I have a high chance of winning.

Thanks and wish you all the best too.

Johnmasino, be honest, how long have you been a Jaks shareholder? Did
you attend the 2018 AGM? Or the 2019 AGM? Would you have known about this stock if not for KYY? I have attended. I was very interested and about to buy Jaks before.

Let's be honest here. Those who have been here long enough would know that I have actually met Steven before for a short discussion with mutual friends, before he left for ksk. I did press him for details which I was reluctant to share due to him still being the CFO of Jaks before on the ppa agreement and the profit margins due from the power plant. As he has now left, all I can do is show you that in my portfolio I still have not bought a single share of Jaks. I believe the price once given out to during official AGM was below 140 million. He has since revised his profitability claims, sold all his stocks and left the company.

Do with that information what you will.

All these are official and recorded statements from Jaks management. So if you said the Jaks management is lying, and power plant will make 1 billion a year, then it may just turn out that way.

But be rational.

Since you are trying to pick numbers out of the air, why don't you pick the only numbers that was given before by management to investment bankers who actually went to Vietnam, seen the power plant, talked to the management, and did a lot of discussion directly?

If you want to take historical details,

If anything, did Jaks the business do anything that was beyond the estimates of analysts that would cause funds to pile investments into Jaks from 2015-2020? I don't see any mutual funds buying.

The estimates and the results of the business through the years had been disappointingly consistent. The management guidance by Steven Ang ex CFO has guided towards the same results, and the CEO alp also has not given any profit guidance for the future.

In the end, has jaks done anything out of the ordinary to give you any confidence or full time bank analysts to revise their estimates for Jaks over the last 5 years? And yet still armchair part time amateur analysts can go saying everyone else is wrong, public bank is wrong and should demand an apology. Jaks should be worth 4.50 etc.

In my opinion, a conservative figure of net profit ( when current earnings from power plant is non-existent), one should use the figures given by analysts and ex-CFO of Jaks as a baseline. The fact that he sold all his shares at 80 cents should give one pause to think deeper instead of saying he is stupid.

I would say anyone not working at Jaks or has direct meetings with them are working with incomplete information, aka speculation.

Since almost all the 5 year estimates have been that Jaks is worth rm1.50 before pp, warrants dilution etc, it would be useful to be conservative to use that as your base level before adding optimism or negativity.

Going beyond that base level is adding risk or removing risk depending on your buying price. Some like DK66 managed to buy at 40 cents to put his costs down at 70 cents. Control the downside and protect the upside. He can sit back and monitor. Some like kyy bought until 1.48, expecting windfall.

What is your conservative figure?

Scuttlebutt.

So according to Philip's assessment, we should use the most conservative figure of net profit of just RM14 million which means that JAKS is just worth RM0.21 at PE of 10..LOL
