Much kudos to teoct. I'll try to write an article explanation what I saw on it as a business.

To be honest, ever since I retired I have a lot more time to read and do valuation these days. The recent MCO had only compounded my time that I spend reading. I think I have been far more prolific recently on being able to look up stocks and buying stocks during this period.

Also, since I have been shooting fish in a barrel recently, it really wasn't that a hard a decision to make. The stock market has fallen to a very decent valuation recently, a lot of things are a screaming buy nowadays.

Wow,! The locals got wind of your position and pushed it up by 20 pct!
Anyway, Philip, mind to share what other salient points you noted which prompted this almost immeadiate action was to the first as you normally do a much through research?
It would be great if teoct can chip in too.

He has already been proven to be a troll with no results and the stock recommendation that he has made in GDEX had already down the level of his stock analysis. There is no point in asking him anything further. All he will do is fool you with smoke and mirrors. Nothing further to learn here.

Sslee, you are becoming a troll just like i3lurker. As a fellow UM graduate I feel you are no longer in this forum to learn and understand, but simply to pass your time passing snide comments. I would advise you to stop wasting time with repeated unnecessary comments that benefit no one.

As you are drowning many other investors comments to learn things, I would advise you to be a gentleman and stop.

You should post if you have something to ask or clarify.

Otherwise you will become another i3lurker with 3000 comments all of negativity, insults and useless information that is not properly evaluated or thought through properly.

Thank you.

Hi teoct, most of the time I can usually tell if a particular business is something that I would be interested to invest within the first ten minutes.

I am very interested indeed, thank you very much for introducing me to the company.

Going through the past few annual reports, I am very impressed. Not only are they a butter, cow milk and goat milk producer, they have successfully transitioned from just being an oem producer of baby formula to producing their own brand.

I am even more impressed with the fact that they hold 40% of PRC market share in goat milk penetration, but more so the fact that for a simple milk producer, they have managed to get high tech industry status, and a 3 year CIT taxation of 15%, compared to their peers like Nestle who pay 25% tax.

Yes it ended in 2019, but they still managed to get government grant to expand their changsha operations and r&d lab.

I had met a China family before that came to sabah and they specifically wanted to buy Malaysia baby formula, this was a free years back. I was surprised and I asked them why couldn't they buy back in PRC? I was told that there were many cases of fake baby formula which actually did some problems and thus there was a shortage of trust and supply of reliable baby formula.

After reading the annual reports and trade journals, I only found out that there was a huge consolidation and government crackdown on baby formula producers which had to be certified and required to maintain an international quality to be able to supply in PRC.

Looking at the latest reports, it is amazing with their take overs and buyouts of all the formula brands in the markets they currently have 39 brands, but the own I noticed the most was how they were transitioning from producing formula for other suppliers, and instead growing and marketing their own label brands neolac baby formula and kabrita goat milk.

I think the profits will not drop this year for to covid and the fact that their tax rate will be readjusted back up to 25% this year. But in the long term I believe the consolidation and barrier to entry for baby formula milk will be a growth factor.

Kudos Mr teo, I think I like it. Will do a bit more research the next few months to understand the company more in depth.

Appreciate it.

Noted and well received.

Dear teoct, I am very interested in this remark though.

"the counter (consumer sphere) has provided me with about +17% annualized, even under Covid 19 condition. Lucky, I presumed despite the analysis carried out."

Mind to share this counter which you are investing in? I would love to look it up, as I suspect you are a very brilliant investor as well. Who knows, I may join you in as well in participating in the growth of a wonderful company.

Investing in companies is not a zero sum game. Unlike options and forex, it doesn't have to be one individual earning at the cost of another's profits.

Let us learn something new everyday.

I find you very refreshing, and I can learn far more from you than many others who constantly repeat the same rethoric repeated from others.

To buy for growth, well NO (for me at least) and that is why i divested.

Mr Philip, it is OK to agree to disagree.

Happy investing everyone, stay home and stay safe.

Stop referring to yourself as a third person, GDEX boy.

As for personal attacks, I am just pointing out an obvious point.

Out of your 3000+ comments, hope many were negative nature. How many were proven wrong?

I just made one simple example of your claims on 1000+ stocks better than Star, and you finally recommended GDEX. It turned out wrong. On a short term pump and dump basis you were proven to be analytically wrong. What more on long term investing basis?

We trust warren buffet because his annual letters are combined by his company results.

We listen to Peter Lynch and Howard marks not because of fancy writing but because of his portfolio results.

We listen to doctors because they have certification and medical experience.

You are trying to evaluate companies, but since you don't know what you are doing, you don't have any results to prove your thesis.

Why are you commenting and saying QL and serba is bankrupt? You are saying it is a bad investment. Sure, I can take you at face value. But what do you then consider a good investment and how have you profited from it?

It is simple and direct.

I am not doing a personal attacks against sslee or the group formerly known as i3lurker.

I am asking the basis of your analysis. And to understand your investment results that allow you to criticize with such verbiage. If you cannot backup your comments with results, then I suggest you take a less arrogant tone and a more analytical one of both the good and the bad.

QL has performed far better than all the stocks you have held over the long term. This is fact.

So end the confirmation bias.

QL deserves a deeper analysis instead of skin deep valuation.

I have tried to teach sslee this concept for a while now. But he is very stubborn, head still very hard. He still hold on to incomplete concepts are assume verbatim PE low is good PE high is bad as Bible.

Very hard to teach old dog new tricks.

But I might break through yet. He bought Star Media, a PE50 stock and if actually planning to sell it at 40.

So those who say buy high PE company is wrong, and it might take 50 years to earn back his investment in Star... Well, investing is a lot more complicated than that.

As for GDEX boy, he has a great many comments. But every single one of it negative. So might as well just forget even asking the little troll. He is incapable of making a proper valuation in stocks.

My understanding on family Mart also follows the same path. When they signed the 25 year contract to build 300 stores, it is not as simple as that.

For every area they expand to, they will need to build a centralised kitchen, fulfillment center, warehouse for deployment, the ppe and employee cost of which will be factored in today, but the earnings and revenues will only be factored in years from now in 2022, when their 300 stores will be complete and fully taking advantage of the centralised economies of scale.

The erratic cash flow in blue is a perfect example of them moving forward with building the capex first to minimize the cost of scale in the future.

Using a straightforward analysis like that leaves much to be explained in terms of building a business.

I am sad to see you go as an investor of QL, but willing sellers and willing buyers. There are many investors holding QL at pe50( including myself), because we see the growth story still intact, and large scale agriculture is one of the most stable industries out there.

If I may ask, what commodity did you switch to in the USA? I am interested to know and understand more, as you said it went up by 17% even during covid-19 crisis. Amazing!

As for depreciation and assets. Here is how I look at it,

For biological assets, the investment and turnaround time is not measured in months, but in years. Take for example plantations. To get a sizable investing, you would need to invest tens to hundreds of millions. And it has to be done in stages, plantations need 3-4 years to have a minimum yield. And you need to invest to the future in building a far larger refinery than necessary, just so that it can catch up to the growth in ffb processing. The returns would not be reflected until years later while staff and professionals salaries need to be paid today to cater for future demand. You can't just hire sslee to join the company at the beginning to plan and design, fire him in the middle, then rehire him back when the entire plantation is ready for full operations, can you?

Same goes for egg and frozen food operations, there will always be a cycle of aggressive growth and development of ppe, followed by a period of growth of biological assets, then followed by the availability, sales price monopoly due to economies of scale, and followed by increased demand in goods.

Currently the price of L size eggs in Vietnam is around myr 60 cents per egg. Malaysia in comparison is around 40 cents.

As QL has doubled the output of eggs in Vietnam and Indonesia, with a capex of 400 million. As their capex period is on the line of 2-3 years cycle, I believe there is no way for revenue growth and capex to follow a linear line, and it would wrong to make that assumption.


https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/ql-resources-optimistic-about-beating-record-fy19-performance

>>>>>>>>>

The operating expenses to revenue are unfortunately increasing yearly. Diving into the cost make-up, the two biggest item is depreciation of PPE and staff costs.

Staff productivity is reducing, the trend is downward. Revenue to depreciation is dropping at a higher rate. That is, the more plant, properties and equipment bought is giving less revenue every year.

The other points are also interesting. Here is my opinion of it.

QL has 4,000 employees. With revenues of roughly 1 billion USD, they effectively have each employee generating 250,000 in revenue. ( They are 1 million ringgit per employee, which is very very efficient for the scale).

Tyson food has 122,000 employees. With revenues of 40 billion, they effectively have each employee generating 320,000 in revenue.

CP food also has roughly 126,000 employees. With revenues of roughly 17 billion usd, they generate around 135,000 usd

Basically the point I was trying to make is QL revenue generation per employee is still statistically not saturated yet, and very efficient.

In terms of total market growth, despite QL size, it is still showing a huge potential to grow in a very very big market,

One thing I always try my best to convince new investors is to forget about this ludicrous concept. PE in no way shape or form gives you any indication of how "long" it will take to recoup your investment. It is simply a measure of the confidence Mr market has in the company. As a real comparison for example, take STAR MEDIA for example. Does the fact that it is selling at PE49 mean it will take 49 years to earn back your investment? Obviously not. Why? Assets and cash and borrowings are not reflected in PE.

In fact, if you could cough up 280 million in cash to buy out, you would immediately get 380 million in cash, on top of additional factory and property, and zero borrowings. Not bad for paying pe49 to recoup immediately the money used to buy the company.

How is that related to any return on equity?

>>>>>>>>>

Another way to look at PE is the number of years one required to recoup the money used to buy the company, that is 54 years based on RM 8 per share (close 24/4/20).

Happy investing.

But fact remains, his investment thesis is full of holes. Results of his recommendations are awkward, and his analaysis is always very childish.

First he says he write reports for Power Plant generation, then he becomes investment banker. Speed of light change.

But he tells so many lies he forgets the truth, he has no portfolio results. His comments full of bashing. And truth be told, STAR as a trade has already made more money for many people than he is capable of talking nonsense about in many years in i3 forum.

SSLEE always like to say I am lucky. Yup Topglove has been lucky for me, even today (lucky i didn't sell a single share eh?). QL also has been lucky for me. STAR also has been lucky for me. SERBA also has been lucky for me. Soon, hopefully GKENT and PCHEM also will be lucky for me.

Another question asked without thinking properly.

A. Private placement is guaranteed. The negotiation is a block agreement done with a single entity done at a fixed amount and fixed price. It is far more efficient and usually done with high net worth individuals or professional investors.

B. RIGHTS ISSUES is not guaranteed. The take up rate from the public
Can be under subscribed. It is also slower as the compliance take up much application processes.

Thinking qualitatively, if professional investors want to invest in my company, it is a good thing. They would have done their due diligence and convinced themselves that taking a risk in the company is the right thing to do. It may or may or work out, but a lower share price to pick up the balance risk is the key thing to look at. If banks and epf is willing to buy shares from SERBA at 1.62 for example and inject 580 million in cash, it is definitely bad short term but good long term as the company will have 1.9 billion of working capital to work with.

The mental model to think about is the dilution needed to raise the needed amount of cash.

In most cases a private placement would be the most beneficial, least dilution for maximum cash. Only when all the big boys is avoiding you then problems occur and we have to go for RI getting money from public. This is usually problematic because the dilution to get the same amount of money raised is usually far more.

As a minority investor you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. You can only hope for either more earnings growth in the long run, or more share buybacks done by management.

Short term pain for long term gain. But ask yourself this, very few individuals will be interested in o&g counter during this period, and even less by public shareholders. Credit SERBA for still being able to catch the eye of banks, institutional investors and high high networth individuals.

WHAT DO THEY SEE THAT YOU DO NOT?

So the question
A. If Cash and cash Equivalents of RM 1,306,590,000. Why still need PP?
B. Why not RI?

Stock

2020-04-24 06:58 | Report Abuse

Debt and borrowings is hutang. IOU.
PP is private placement. Free cash at the expense of share dilution. Yes it hurts investors, but far better than borrowing money from the bank. Hutang and IOU need to pay back money with interest.
PP got interest? PP need to pay back?

If share price drop, of course it will hurt. ( Not good for us and especially warrant holders). Now I know why Karim sold his warrants.

Dilution will be 10%. 10% less dividends and profits to share amongst us. If we share at all after crisis.

BUT......

Cash will increase by 10%, or 580 million in cash. To reduce hutang(pay back those IOU), and have working capital to grow the business.

In the end, orderbook is 15 billion. With a net profit margin of 10%, it will be 1.5 billion in profits going into our pockets for the next 4 years.

But dickyme is correct, the question is WILL SERBA DELIVER?

What is their tender book? Will they be able to replenish or grow their order book? Depends on market. This year or next year definitely not. But in 2-3 years time when a lot of competition has capsized and going bankrupt, who will survive?

Those with CASH. And those who can afford to WAIT.

So the fact remains, if you buy serba expecting 6 months or 1 year big returns then good luck to you, it will not be there. The timeline for serba performance will be 2 years-3 years on. That will be when the business will perform, when everyone else is gone. Just like in Qatar when all the angmoh left, and this little Islamic shariah compliant company is around to pick up the pieces.

What will the share price be then?

Just compare Baker Hughes, Schlumberger. Because that is serbadk real competition. Serba is taking market share from them.

That is track record enough for me.

But forget the troll, he doesn't talk sense. Never has.

A simple fact remains. If a company was going bankrupt, why would you still want to invest in it?

Private placement,rights issue all mean the same thing. Investors coming in to invest in in serbadk to give the company 580 million to reduce debt and provide working capital. Would you do that for a bankrupt company?

Even i3lurker is also a big investor in serba, a big part of his net worth is in KWSP, which is a major investor.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, this is a free country and an open forum. But childish kids are everywhere: since they can't pick good stocks and always lose money, so all they know is to bash ALL stocks. Just let them enjoy themselves and treat them like ghosts.

If they talk nonsense, without any history of being right or having a trackable portfolio, then you can just ignore their "advice" as the mutterings of a panicked Mr market.

Just don't feed the troll. They will never respond logically.

I3lurker go back to his old practises of bashing every stock he sees. I tried to explain that his entire 3k comments all about bashing and trolling, and he should start learning how to stop looking for bad stocks and start investing in good stocks instead.

After that he saw me writing about Star media at 26 cents and he start bashing it also, where he say he can be a good CEO in Star and how he can pick any 1000 stocks that will perform better than star.

So this little kid got flustered and decided to say GDEX is a far better stock than Star. So he finally recommend a stock to good friends to buy.

So I think ok, I'll buy and show him how real investors work.

Star then went up by 40+%.

Now suddenly i3lurker say he didn't buy GDEX, and he always recommend bad stocks and now he suddenly bought Star instead, after saying he shorted Star.

WOW. Kids and their big lies.

So now again he tries to act as if he is a know it all.

And back to his bad habits of bashing every stock out there.

Looks like little kid forever don't know how to buy good stocks that go up over time, so trying to fill up his failures by trying to act smart.

Too bad GDEX boy, you have already showed that you have no idea how to value stocks. So maybe you can shut up and go back to your bridge, troll. Bye bye now..

Standing your ground is a perfectly acceptable position as you are keeping everything cash and do not have any exposure at all.

Me? I will be putting my money to work just when everyone rather than is leaving the building, and investing more at wonderfully low valuations.

Now that blood is in the streets, then it is easy to buy low sell high, but no one is willing to do it. If you want to be a contrarian, now is the time to do it.

I will be one of the few that pile in cash and margin during this period.

Who is wrong or right? I will tell you next year.

All I know is, last year yinson was 4.20. today it is rm5. Since the price today is still higher than when I first bought it, I will choose to hold on and let quarterly results tell me what you do, and not newspapers, Facebook and i3 comments telling me what to do.

Let's see who is right.

Kelvin17, I was making a joke to i3lurker and sslee because they always like to act as if they are professional investors without any portfolio results.

https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/pfs/120720.jsp#tabs_group1

This is my transaction Portfolio for Star. I bought it at 26 cents and I sold after 30% gain at 34, just to prove a point to i3lurker.

When I bought star at 26 the entire value of the company was 190 million, with a cash position of 380 million, I believe liquidation value was at 52 cents.

For me I am sure the long term value of Star is worth far more than that, with Jaks lad of 50 million, ok property, the newspaper factory and business ( which I believe can earn money long term), I think Star is going to be worth far more than that if they find the right CEO.

Stockraider like to take advantage of other people's recommendation and still insult them instead of saying thank you, his character is low as usual.

But who is the real INVESTORS and who is the speculators who buy INSAS warrants, only they know themselves.

I made 30% returns in STAR MEDIA so far, and since I am pump and dump with conscience guy, when I dump it it will still go up. Amazing no?

PPHB is at 64 cents. ( From 49)
STAR is at 38 cents. ( From 26)

The difference between you and me is, I chose stocks very very carefully. I follow more than 1000+ stocks, but why only 1 article on penny stocks per year?

That's how hard it is to do.

But kids like you think playing stock market is easy, everyday can make money.

covid 19 will ONLY be stable once everyone (100%) has been infected and Malaysian deaths exceed 100,000. estimated to be around 150,000 deaths

once everyone infected, those who will die has already died then ONLY life in Malaysia will become normal.

after that business as usual.

until covid-19 randomly mutates again. Then history repeats itself.

Just in case you missed it,

FPSO stands for floating production STORAGE and offloading.

What happens when there is no buyers? Everyone is rushing to find a place to STORE oil ( and can't just simply find a warehouse to put it ya, very flammable).

Why do you think I avoid sapura and Armada like the plague?

Aiyoh, please take another look at yinson contracts again. Why everyone including yourself still assuming yinson business model is the same as armada and sapura?

I repeat to you one more time ya, the contracts written are based on man labor day rate. Their contract is a 8-25 year TRANSPORTATION contract and storage contract, which everyone is looking for now to store the unsold oil.

They are not a driller or epcc where they have a share in the profits of oil sold, like armada and sapura.

You are comparing a offshare Dialog Vs a oil explorer.

Fyi not all O&G firms are all the same thing. You really need to understand what you are buying, otherwise you will think hibiscus,carimin,dayang,sapura and armada all do the same business, which is very far from the truth.

Most importantly, you need to understand how the penalties are done if they cancel there contract with YINSON.

Delay I don't see an issue because their existing orderbook in Brazil and Africa will only come online in 2023. And their existing contracts their ships are being used to store the oil, since they can't pump it back into the sea.

So I don't see why they would cancel, especially since cancellation penalties would give yinson free FPSO that the can deploy to store I'll for other clients.

Get your business sense right, YINSON is not a driller, YINSON is a floating DIALOG.

very good mentality...........but better if u don't have yinson..........this one cannot survive if oil below $ 30 for long because if drillers die, yinson also die................and right now, all off shore drillers die...........

As for me, it really doesn't matter to me if it takes longer or shorter to recover, 3 months to recover or 3 years for the market to recover.

I'm not a trader and I don't buy something just because it is cheap and sell something just because the price went up.

I try to buy a business or pieces of a wonderful business at a fair price. Therefore in this case, I don't really care what the long term market is like, as I invest in businesses that can make money over a long period of time.

Most of the time, I hope to never sell a wonderful business that I own.

In any case, investment is about paying money today for a return in the future.

The future that I am betting on will not include covid. When it will be I don't know, but I do know it won't be tomorrow.

But in any case, what to buy is a relative term, as your investment philosophy and mine are totally different.

I wish you good luck, you can choose to stand aside, watch the world burn, or buy stocks when everyone is running away. Selling a stock today should not be an option, unless you need money to survive.

Your choice.

As for online penetration, when was the last time you buy Milo powder online? Drypers and and shampoo sent to you in lahad datu for cheap price? If the answer is no, it is simply because it is far cheaper to buy from the stores and small supermarkets than to delivery online.

The truth is, pushing 1.6 billion in product revenue a year is no joke. You need good connections, an experienced team, very good credit and long term business relationship with the big players Unilever, nestle and gab. Do you think they will simply give the principal order to any Tom dick and Harry?

Dear sslee, please don't make fun of other people's investments if you barely understand them yourself.

Harrisons has represented major multi-nationals for considerable lengths of time: Nestle has been with the Group for 84 years, GAB for 61 years, Malex for 51 years and Maerskline for 40 years, to cite a few examples. Other well known companies represented by Harrisons include SCA Hygiene (Drypers), Reckitt Benckiser (Dettol, Shieldtox), Kao (Biore, Laurier), Ngan Yin and Cocolin.

Please advise that dunno why sslee like to comment on other people's page. His thoughts and ideas are of his own, and nothing to do with me. His investment results are spectacularly uneven, and he comments like he knows Harrison business very well. In fact, I have a very good impression of Harrison's, where if you buy at these prices, you will enjoy a good dividend and increase in share price over the long term. In fact I would tell you to sell INSAS and buy Harrison to get a far better safe and dependable returns over the long term. Yes, Harrison's is probably not a growth stock, but there are many ways to make money out there, right? So why bash down Harrison's? I happen to think it is a very dependable and hard to break into business.

On top of that, we are renting our warehouse out to them to do storage, and they have been a very good and consistent payment throughout the years.

In fact, if you have to go into margin and buy and hold, Harrison's is a far better place to start at these prices today than INSAS.

Just a reminder. Thou shall not ask or teach ppl to use margin.
Margin is for professional.
Even professional also many jump building using margin.
U can continue tok kok about on which stock or business to invest.
But margin is not something u wan other ppl to play with. Because u dunno wat other ppl ability or availability. Unless u agree to take responsibilty to those who follow u to use margin. Mean they die, u must die together. Are u ?
Below is a simple but yet very powerful philossphy on margin written by someone very respectable in investing world. Sekian.

For Serba, I totally agree. It is my smallest position that I am monitoring, and since block7 is a JV company with Karim and salleh, it may or may not be successful. I just don't know, but I am willing to monitor quarterly to see if things is believable and with investing in. One thing that does interest me is Karim selling 15 million of his warrants, and buying shares directly (250k). So far he still has 660 million shares in in Serba, so let's monitor together closely. As usual the operational strengths of Serba in middle East is quite strong and this epcc job should reflect that.

As for masterpack, I leave the management to explain further.

MASTER-PACK GROUP BERHAD (297020-W)
for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2019

B2. Prospect 2020
2020 may see some decline in overall results compared to the year 2019 as more business challenges kick in not only for the Group but for the customers as well as businesses around the world are experiencing rapid changes. Nevertheless, management is of the opinion the group will be able to manage the impact.

I believe going to Vietnam instead of gaining market share locally can lead to both good and bad results. We will just have to see. As I have no experience whatsoever with the long term prospects of box packing industry and how you would choose one product rather then the other except by price, I personally would not invest in them. However since PPHB itself went up in share price ( via its hotel more than than for business expansion) it does appear to be a growing market and profitable for quite a long while.

For liihen/magni, I have a feeling you bought it because it was promoted by online sifus out there. That is the worse way to invest. Liihen does give out good consistent dividend, if you look at it like that. But if you look deeper, have you ever bought liihen furniture locally? Is it too your liking? Or like me have you never seen a shop in Malaysia and instead buy from IKEA your furniture needs?

If your answer is yes, then what are you doing buying a company you have not even seen or know about in Johor? Personally, I have studied liihen before back when KYY was promoting it, and have even visited their furniture factory in muar, Johor before I decided not to invest further. Frankly I didn't like their products, and I felt it is too old fashioned and gaudy, fit only for the US market. And apparently I became right because that is its biggest market, and it seems to sell to only a few customers. As liihen was also a 2nd generation company and didn't seem inclined to improve on their products to compete in Asia market ( despite having rubber and acasia plantation) by hiring better designers to produce signature product, I didn't move further.

https://liihenfurniture.com/product-category/bedroom-set/

Personally, here is the list of products sold and produced by liihen. Would you buy them for your home and for the price they are asking for? If the answer is no, then why invest in liihen?

First, understand the business. Then look at the financials. Then finally the easiest part, buying the share price. Don't mix up the order.

Magni for me is also similar, except that they mainly produce for Nike. Being in a far better position, and benefiting from Nike move to avoid business in sweatshops and the media backlash, magni has can compete on a different plane than just price. But being their single biggest customer, and the fact that Nike MAY one day change suppliers to go back to sweatshops in vietnsm, Bangladesh and Pakistan, I think I would rather avoid magni and invest elsewhere. For me, magni hasn't yet jumped to second gear ( like China) and moved from just an OEM manufacturer to making their own original product ( like li-ning and Anta). But I think your investment in magni is ok for the short and medium term, as long as you scuttlebutt and follow closely on their expansion and diversification plans ( as long as no DIWORSIFICATION into property development or Palm oil plantation or bitcoin trading etc)

Hi learning investor, in my opinion, we should start by being as specific as possible. Being an engineer myself, I know there are many kinds of engineer. What discipline? What industry? Sorry to push, but the point I'm trying to make is to start by teaching you the basics of how I do valuation, to scuttlebutt. Basically to start buying what makes sense.

Start with understanding companies in a deeper level, in relation to what you know. Start using contacts and friends within your circle to find out more of the business, instead of just buying stocks by reading online. Put your nose to the ground, so to speak. Invest in things that you really know about, and things that affect your life as an engineer directly.

For example, if you are a designing engineer, the two most important things that affect your life directly that you can't live without is Windows and AutoCAD. So I would start by studying replacements to Autodesk and Microsoft in your company. If it is well nigh impossible, then investing in msft and Autodesk since 2017 would have been a far brilliant choice so far.

I may be totally wrong, but you feel more like a sales engineer to me. If so, then your core competency will be in a totally different industry. But to be honest, your investment is all over the place.

AirAsia, it starts out as a good investment that you can tell everyone about, I like it too. It has a lot of cash, which they gained by offloading assets and leasing it back long term. I believe AirAsia is a good buy if it can get out of this hole, and of all it is the easiest to monitor. Your sentence is correct, but I would advice you to turn it into quantitative data, the correct concept is labour cost per seat mile, your revenue and earnings per seat mile. This is something I learnt from Warren buffet himself.

AirAsia has one of the best in industry. Now with this golden opportunity which is an all time low, I would say if you thought it was cheap when you bought it, then today is an even cheaper opportunity to buy something that will be bouyed by cheap fuel costs in the future ( the biggest factor you should always track when you study air Asia quarterly). As long as you can monitor AA cash levels, and add more when they receive a big loan or bailout from government, they will not go bankrupt. AA management, branding and cost structure is still there and better than anyone else, soon the crisis will end and they will recover. In a year or two you will not be able to buy it at 50 or 60 centre, much less 80 cents. Just buy consistently quarterly by looking at it as a company ( manage debt, get customers, train and release staff etc) and you should be fine.

Just don't dump everything in one go and go all in with margin, especially if you don't know what you are doing. Just invest slowly and add quarterly.
