I don't understand the comment. How can you rightfully criticize something unless you already tried it?

In my younger days I tried technical analysis ( I find it useful and money making, until I went bankrupt in a black swan)
I was a chartist( until I realized using different time frames you can make a chart tell you anything you want).
I was a dividend lover, until I realized high dividends were never sustainable in a growing a company.

How else can Warren criticize hedge funds without trying it out and realizing it's unsustainable due to the high fees that professionals ask for ( and proven in his big bet).

Warren invests in banks, and only then does he realize how banks function. Many banks take advantage free with risky and unnecessary business practices with other people's money.

Warren buffet does not avoid taxes. He pays exactly what the government requests same as everyone else, nothing more. Doesn't mean he doesn't see the flaw in the taxation system.

He was a republican. That's why realizes a democratic method as more efficient.

The difference between Warren and many old people is that he is constantly learning and improving his thought process. He does things which he never would have done before ( like buying airplane stocks and tech companies), while everyone seems to believe that Warren is still a cigar butt investor of value ( anything but!).

I think everyone needs to learn and improve their craft.

I used to be an otb type investor in the 90s.
Then a kyy investor in the dotcom crash.
Then Calvin investor during the enron days ( net assets? Pwuah!)
Now I like to believe in a mix of Philip Fisher, Peter lunch, Charlie munger, Buffett, templeton, with one core thought.

Find and invest in quality. Hold on to the wonderful company and it will make you rich.


Any also, how many any hedge funds keep all their own money in their fund?

Is Warren Buffett a Liar?

Loeb continued:
“I love how he criticizes hedge funds yet he really had the first hedge fund.
He criticizes activists. He was the first activist.
He criticizes financial services companies yet he likes to invest with them.
He thinks we should all pay more taxes, but he loves avoiding them.
There’s a disconnect between his wisdom and his [actions].”

His comments were met with cheers and applause from the thousand or so hedge fund managers in attendance.

I have already given my explanation on petronm and rce capital.i have attended the agm, read the industry trade journals and the financial reports. I highly doubt you will see much sustainable growth here. As you seem to be the expert on rce capital and petronm which was your biggest largest shareholding I believe you may have some confirmation bias on your rce and petronm.

It is fine to be confident on a stock that you own. But it is useless to just tell someone to look further into something without explanation and talk later.

I will just continue to monitor your performance with your rcecapital, hengyuan and petronm to see the quality of your investment strength.

I will stop commenting here again until the next QR results.

Hi outlier,

I totally agree: thus I post with my remark
"
Nothing wrong with investing in petronm. you just need to know what kind of business you are putting your hands into. dont expect 20PE or growing earnings or increased dividend for a long long time yet.
"

The main point I am trying to make is that the fuel service industry is very saturated ( similar to condo development construction industry).

Very hard to make money. Like I said, those who buy petronm based on last year results of crack spread and expecting it to be reoccurring and sustainable will be in for a rude Awakening.

As the market value increases, so will the share of petronas, shell and others. In fact, refinery wise, petronas will be taking a huge step forward next year compared to it's peers. Petronm will definitely make money, but so will pouring money in the fixed deposit.

I don't believe in buying petronm or any stock based on past performances. I buy it based on the quality of the revenue and earnings, and the possibility and feasibility of future growth expectations.

As young choivo so succinctly explained, he expects 200 million in a good year, 100 million in a normal and 50 million in a bad year.

My question is why invest in average companies at all?

Of course, you can question yinson results this year, ql and topglov results last year, and gkent results next year. I may be wrong, but so far my results are still ok for me.

Maybe it's just me, I much prefer a company with clear earnings and revenues coming in the future, and a well managed and resourceful one.

And speaking of shareholder value, how is petronm rewarding shareholders with share buybacks dividends?

I give a simple example, choivo is getting 4.5% for his margin collateralization. Very high, but understandable.

Using the same ideas, take for example GKENT. Today it is 1.02, paying a 6.42% dividend yield or 6.5 cents since last year. The management is doing a lot of share buybacks, it is cash positive and guaranteed earnings and revenue increase with lrt3 and mrt2 and water meter increase of 26 export territories. Management has guided to increased revenue by Q1 2020. If you took a million dollar loan, the dividend alone would have paid for the margin, as well as the constant buyback from the management. You are assured double revenues and earnings next year ( by Malaysia government claim for lrt3). Historically before changing of government their share price was 2+. It is a net cash company with a market leadership in water meter and a niche specially is railway automation and control( how many Malaysian companies can claim that?)

Choivo seems to think petronm can consistently do 3b every quarter and grow and grow, but he doesn't have a confident set of ideas how and why it could do so. How can he? When management itself has not guided towards growth but preaches safety and cost reductions instead of growth.

For me like you said I practice qualitative analysis. I will consider investment into petronm only if one of the following occur,

1. A change in CEO and hire vig knudstorp.
2. They become the first to have a biodiesel refinery and produce b20+ grade and Palm oil high grade biodisel product conversion for diesel pump station. ( If Europe has 50% diesel from bio sources, I'm sure it can be done in Malaysia).
3. They suddenly have a more efficient and cheap source of oil compared to petronas, Shell and friends.
4. They become the first supercharger compliant network in Malaysia. Not because this will earn money, but more because they are starting to look to grow the company instead of resting on laurels.
5. They somehow hit petronas level net profit margins quarterly. There are those who buy lctitan for the 5% np, and those who buy pchem for the 25% np. I prefer companies with either high earnings, or willing to sacrifice short term earnings for huge growth. Low earnings and low growth, not so much.
6. They start to fully embrace the concept of the fuel station as a mini 7-11, where customers buy more than just fuel. I loved that shell and petronas led the way with this, and others began to fall suit. Nothing like buying fuel and claiming the voucher for a bag of rice to build customer loyalty.

I don't think you have been to their AGM before to be honest. I always go through all financial reports, AGM transcripts and shareholders discussions before I comment. Those I don't have much interest in I rarely comment.

I repeat, is there any way for them to raise their revenues to 4 billion a quarter and increase margins without losing market share? Is it a business that can grow over it's peers? Or are we just buying something because it is cheap? The entire industry is cheap.

I prefer quality buying above all else, if I had to choose.

QL on the other hand, if you want to keep comparing has been growing revenues unlike anything seen in the simple chicken and egg industry before. I will take 6% margins any day for a yoy growth as spectacular as that.

Dear Sslee,

I invite you to see the 5 year returns of market cap and dividend yield of Insas against QL. So far I still dont see insas 90 cents and RM1 as per stockraider claims. And the 50PE company went higher and higher consistently without any hiccups. Wet wet song song for last 10 years, even today still growing consistently while insas has been on yoyo curve and waiting for dividend coming for a long long time.

I wonder what the 5 year return on market cap and dividend yield has been?

Oh wait, short term thinkers only compare short term results.

In that case Insas wins hands down.

Actually there are far more questions to ask than that.
1. Why are investors only willing to pay 6.24 PE for petronm? This is a very interesting question indeed. the next few questions are followups that will be very pertinent.
1a. What is the possibility of Petronm increasing their profit margins above 5%? If they could do it, how would they do it and would it be feasible? (this includes things like increasing efficiency, buying organically integrated businesses and investing in new products or systems that competitors are unable to have access to)
1b. What is the possibility of users to choose petronm above other competitors like petronas, shell etc even if the prices were fixed nationwide.
1c. what is petronm gameplan to hit 4 billion a quarter? do they have enough resources (without cutting the 3% dividend), and is it likely that they will do so?
1d. was 2017 an anomaly with the crack spread or is it something that can repeated sustainably?

All of these questions tie into one simple answer. petronm has been doing below 3 billion in revenue a quarter since forever, and it is very very likely that this will continue. Petronm has been doing below 5% net profit margins a quarter since forever, and it is very very likely that this will continue. There is no differentiating factor from petronm versus its other competitors, and there is no catalyst or guidance from the management that petronm will overperform in the future or give bigger dividends above its 20 cents per year.

knowing this fact and the fact that you will only be a minority investor in petronm business (with no ability to change anything),

all you get for your 6.24PE is 3% dividend a year, so why pay more for such volatile earnings?
you can also choose to pay 1 PE for your RHB fixed deposit at 4.5%, which amounts to the same thing.

Do you see Petronm growing and growing and taking market share and expanding to other countries? I dont. What I do see is a business that has maximized its local market share and is content to keep to its corner.

A safe, efficient and boring 3% a year with minimal growth of revenue and earnings. slowly building up its cash hoard to buy its next refinery to keep things going.

Nothing wrong with investing in petronm. you just need to know what kind of business you are putting your hands into. dont expect 20PE or growing earnings or increased dividend for a long long time yet.

Just because something is low PE does not make it necessarily good. It just means investors will not overpay for something that will not overperform.

Posted by Choivo Capital > Nov 7, 2019 1:25 PM | Report Abuse

Here's the basic understanding to Petron.

They make about 200m a year net from the petrol stations.

So each Q, you can expect 50m from that.

Refinery, makes either 200m in a good year, 100m normal, and -50m to 50m in bad times. This depends a lot on spread.

So the thing you need to know now is, you're paying 7 times earnings for a very stable and well run petrol station business, and you get a refinery for free.


Only question you need to ask in this case is,

1) How efficient are they compared to the competitors in the refinery business? Pretty good.

2) Is there a structural decline or slowdown in demand for fuel related products? Nope.

3) Can you handle volatility in earnings? Yes.

Dear sslee,

I repeat AGAIN respectfully so you may understand.

Any business where the revenues and earnings are growing consistently while keeping shareholder value will see is share price growing.

50 pe or not, the last 5 years performance of QL has been exemplary. Management has guided towards double digits growth in their future until 2025. Cash flow is brilliant and growing. The total dividend has been increasing year after year after year. Are you able to guarantee or predict long price stagnation of QL?

If you are able to show me your Crystal ball or give me a profit guarantee for insas I would be more than willing to sell all of my ql shares and go all in on your INSAS and buy a 5% stake in the company.

Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it has to drop. Just as something that is cheap will never go cheaper.

But I do appreciate your concern, but I am blessed enough by topglove, ql, yinson in the past and I expect to be blessed more by gkent and pchem in the future.

Unlike some I don't sell a beautiful first wife just to get the younger sexier second wife. Especially when the first wife can surprise you yet!

We are doing so with no ill intention but as a concern that perhaps they had fall in love/trap with their beloved shares and enable to listen to reason (behavioral biases). Should they sell some of those PE> 50 company shares and invest in Pchem which is at very attractive price now or face a long price stagnation of their beloved shares?

Thank you

Different businesses different industries have different outlooks. Buying tech or growth companies at below pe20 you will only get sunset industries or buying into shrinking businesses like GE , Marvell and other companies. I totally agree with kccgongz concept of relating value with price, but investors who invest based on PE and quantitative methods tend to cast their net too small or sell their shares too fast for too small a profit.

The concept of one should sell a stock just because it's PE has run up is insanity. No one ever knows the future. The only thing that investors can do qualitatively is invest their money into wonderful growing companies and monitor their growth quarterly.

If I had not taken this great advice by Phillip Fisher, I would have sold my topglove, QL and yinson shares long long ago when I had made a small little profit and the pe has gone up. Now my shareholdings post splits are worth millions and my dividends far outweighs my initial investments.

Then again, not everyone expands their worldview. I'm lucky to be able to buy more gkent ( paying 6% dividend, 230 million net cash, huge incoming growth in revenue and earnings from LRT business and Honeywell licensing of smart water meters) at 1.02, PCHEM (20% net profits versus industry peers of 10%, 16 billion revenue, 4 billion earnings, incoming production growth from PIC),

Notice how I start with the business valuation first, instead of jumping into pe, charts, cash flow and other quantitative metrics? If we can just look into the business itself, understand the model and the ecosystem and the "moat", then it will shape the worldview on the PE of the stocks and if it is warranted.

Why did Jeff bezos not take your advice and sell his shares when it went up to PE 200? Obviously because he is not stupid and he looks at the business first and foremost.

Don't do a screener and judge all stocks above a certain pe level as BAD. But instead try to judge the PE qualities, is it warranted? Is it safe? What are the long term prospects of the company?

PE is supposed to trigger those questions, not kill it.

As always, it is very easy to make pointed decisions based on past year predictions and to just buy once. but luckily we are about the future and the intrinsic valuation of the long term prospects of the business.

Assuming that we dont have a crystal ball, if we did not invest in these companies, what companies do we then invest in? PE 15 companies like bear sterns and lehmann brothers?

In the case of microsoft, if we have bought it in year 2000, then and only then, our return would definitely not be good. but if we had continously bought quarter after quarter after that, as each years growing revenue, free cash flow and profits from 2000-2019 will show, the initial "bad investment" in microsoft, amazon, ebay and netflix in the year 2000 will in the end turn into a wonderful investment if continously grown.

in the end the question remains: HOW DO WE GAIN THE CONFIDENCE TO PUT BIGGER AND BIGGER INVESTMENT AMOUNTS BEHIND A STOCK? IT IS THROUGH A RULE OF GROWING REVENUE, GROWING EARNINGS WHILE KEEPING SHAREHOLDER VALUE.

but in the end, reality and academia rarely meet.

Those who had sold their microsoft, amazon, netflix, ebay shares in fear after losing so much money 2000, would miss out on a great growth of shareholder value in the next 20 years due to their nagging fear of losing money and once bitten twice shy attitude.

If PE alone (high or low) were a fair determinant of a companies future, then investing based on pe would be easy.

Unluckily, PE alone doesn't mean anything due to the fact that PE cannot predict future EPS. it is just a determinant of what the market is willing to pay for the company based on current earnings. If PE is low, it doesn't mean the share price is sure to go up, and if PE is high it also doesn't mean the share price is sure to go down. Dont understand? Just study AMAZON and INSAS 5 year PE trend to get a grasp of this concept.

Plain simple logic indeed.

The "golden rule" does predict the trend of a company, in a simplistic way. If growth and earnings are on an upward trend quarter by quarter (yes caveat of shareholder value being upheld), then you can be assured the share price is guaranteed to go up (sooner or later), and vice versa.


>>>>>>>>>

Over the next 21 years from July 1998 to July 30th, 2019, EPS of Coca Cola still grew by 83%, but just at CAGR of 2.9%. Its share price barely grew by 22.6% to $52.2 per share, or a CAGR of just 1%, while the Dow Industrial Index has doubled during the same period. The PE ratio of Coke has contracted to about 35. Those investors who bought Coke, a great company, at its peak price 21 years ago way under-performed the broad market during the same period.

It is the same story for Microsoft. If you have bought it in year 2000, your return won't be good. There are many others.

To be honest, I think the golden rule still applies.

Problem is, it has been simplified into a single metric with a single minded result.

Instead, one should always tell it like the original:

A business that increases its revenue and earnings throughout the years while keeping shareholder value will always see its share price go up in the long run - Philip Fisher



The problem is when you tell it like the original, many people begin to misinterpret the entire meaning and start buying the wrong stocks.

1. Increasing revenue and earnings must be forward, not based on past results. (which then becomes risky by default, something not even warren buffett can avoid) One must know where the company is going in the future, not where it is right now.
2. keeping shareholder value means making sure dividends, stock buybacks, rights issue, warrants issue, private placement or simply just any stock dilution has to be with the mind of increasing company value, not reducing it.

Hi probability, i think you may have slightly interchanged the meaning of the word money and value.

money is a part of value, but value is far more than just money.

For example, in a closed economy, all valuable business (services, production, manufacturing, plantation) has a quota in value, but some are so valuable that more money has to be created to meet that quota in value.

We call this capital. As services, production and plantations are met and exceeded, the government then creates a influx of money to meet this value in the market.

To explain in simpler terms, revenue of an economy is never a zero sum game, as time goes on, more people are created and born, creating more demand, opportunities, and services, meaning as time goes by, if the population does not go down, more and more profit and revenue will be generated in total. That is why we have GDP (gross domestic product) as a more apt explanation of your "distrubing fact". Malaysia= 314b gdp, brunei 12b gdp, etc. interestingly, countries which are connected worldwide have better gdp, for example singapore 323b and hong kong 341b.

even simpler, revenue does not only come from wages earned by households, there are also location location location (hk and sg), durian fall from the sky (brunei and dubai and middle east), taxation banking ( ireland and switzerland) and innovation (silicon valley).

that is why people today(despite popular opinion) are far far richer than at any previous time in our history, the net value of a human being has exponentially increased since the time of jesus until today.

a simple final example: a man armed with a rocket launcher in the dark ages would be worth far more than all the money in the world... agree? so to hire such a man, we would have to print a lot of money to meet this value.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
probability sslee sifu, i have one very dumb question....

if all business collectively (economy-wide in a closed economy) makes profit, i.e total revenue is more than all the wages & cost of production...

from where is the money for profit coming from? Mass balance of the money does not make sense if one argues...the revenue is from the wages earned by the households.

........

any sifu can help to answer this disturbing fact? :(

I bought one property for Rm79k in year 2011. I sold it this year at Rm250k.

So i got 36% capital gain at 36% yearly for 6 years. And rent was Rm700 per month. That's another 10.6%

So in total the yield is a decent 46.6% yearly for those passive years.

I would say a company that buys back its own shares at low cheap prices, announces a dividend of 1.5 cent per share (8 million in dividends), is looking at a 6.7% dividend yield (based on last year dividends, this year definitely less), a return of revenue income from LRT3 and MRT2 next year (11 billion and 1 billion), a new product in smart meter (which they are local market leader in hongkong and singapore and malaysia) with technology sharing with honeywell (market leader in automation), where the smart meter sales are already in place with gkent to cover (exclusively sell) asia territories 26 in total including 15 new asian territories (https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/george-kent-gets-honeywell-licence-manufacture-water-meter-components), guaranteed sales with more in the years to come.

I really dont see why you feel the future is bleak. But to each his own.

All I see is discount day, and more purchases on my end.

All the announcements have been made, now is just to collect and wait for the incoming revenue realization and profit returns.

Did I mention that GKENT has more than 235 million in cash on 70 million debt? With such a shareholder centric approach, and good well run management

I think it is wasting time to keep making fun and bullying old grandfather stories. As he is a prolific storyteller, and does amuse me from time to time on his confident promotions, I just leave it up to here and respect that Calvin tan does say " do your own due diligence" if you decide to buy or sell any stock.

His stories in maybulk and using just one metric (BDI) to decide the future of a business is exemplary.

As he loves to tell imaginary stories, we should just respect his right to post and just be the check and balance for him.

As usual, in each article he writes, I will just leave his track record here for us to monitor yearly and see his overall performance.

Good luck sifu calvin tan. May you make your profit by raising prices and denying hardworking johor people of the most basic of rights: food, shelter, transportation and health.

Your property speculation activities has raised the price of housing and made many individuals unable to pay a cheap fair price for housing, even as salary increase have been stuck for many years.

The only reason why house pricing had gone up and up and up, while salary has gone lower and lower is due to rampant speculation.

By speculating on the price of housing, you are taking advantage of poor and young families that need a roof over their heads. I hope your religion does you proud. You would rather leave a house empty than sell it at a cheaper price or let a family buy it. Good for you.

20 homes and proud. Why proud? You should be ashamed instead...

There are many ways to make money, gambling, vices, alcohol, monopolies of basic life needs are not things we should be proud of doing.

Maybe one day you should visit Hong Kong and those families living in cardboard cage apartments, and understand the cost of your greed.

But your reply is always simple, if cannot afford to live here, then move out la? Why stay in?

You only need one house to live in. Why speculate on 20? Taking advantage to buy low cost housing that is needed by the the majority of population and selling it to them at ever higher prices knowing they have to buy sooner or later? Where is the Christianity in that?

Now I know where Calvin tan money comes from. From the sweat and tears of low income families.

It is not from stocks ( he doesn't know how to make wealth from stocks only cookie crumbs), but it is from his rampant speculation of a basic right of humankind. That is how he really makes money. Taking from the young and poor to feed the rich.

Buying a property for 79k in Johor? Those are not homes that one should be buying and speculating on, as there are very few types of dwellings that fit that price unless it is meant for low and middle income families( selling at 250k 6 years later and proud of it? Who do you think your are selling to?)

SCUM.

SCUM.

I hope your Jesus is proud of you.

Imagine if there was no HDB flats in Singapore, you and your kind would have speculated and bought all the surrounding property and forcing everyone to pay an even higher price for middle and low income families, driving them into a debt trap. Thank God for a forward thinking leader that anticipated parasites like you.


AGAIN I SAY, SCUM.

AND TO BE PROUD OF BEING A PARASITE. Of buying low and selling that necessary basic life need to a family that requires it at a high price.

SCUM.

The reason why it is trading at high PE is because the management is exemplary, hiring european team to lead and having very good financial strength in perpetual bonds (which armada doesn't even dare ask because they know no one will give) which allows them to operate efficiently and win projects with high profit .

also, not having its share price crash from RM1 to 65 cents to 15 cents does help in giving shareholders faith in the company, unlike bumi armada which not only change ceos, pays its directors absurdly but also chooses the roughest worse seas to send their fpso and pump for oil.

What do you mean on paper looks good? You mean the profit trails and FPSO charter wins and charter rates (just compare average rates with armada) are not good? Gosh!

There is nothing more transparent than a ferry business that transports oil.

Leave it up to the minority shareholder to make things more complicated than it really is.

2. Opcom. This is the top stock for THE DIGITAL ECONOMY. Govt 12 MP thrust is for nationwide fiberisation. Opcom is the biggest listed company for fiber optics in Malaysia

3. Netx. Totally oversold and bombed out at 1 sen now. This price is low and Insiders expecting better times ahead have bought big chunks lately

I totally agree on calvin tan johor sifu mentality. I find myself posting less and less as I realized most investors are gamblers and traders and whisperers. In fact majority have no portfolio or a record of long term returns and simply post, lose money and disappear from the forum.

But one thing we do have to admit, if calvintaneng really was a simple promoter, he would have long ago loss all his major funds and dissipated from the forum.

So we have a few deductions:
1) either Calvin tan makes some money from his incessant promotions of stocks ( enough that he stays on the forum, but not enough that he can retire properly and enjoy Holland life like his johor sifu)
2) Calvin tan doesn't make money, but neither does he loses it, because his hobby is to report on stock promotion, and not to act heavily on it. he knows his long term track record overall.
3) His real income is from other business. This is due to the sheer number of promotions and the impossibility to deploy enough funds on each one to make a difference.

In either case I hope he continues to post his promotional material as it saves me time delving through bursa stocks, and it is faster for me to plot through rubbish to find veins of gold sometimes.

Long live the Promoter! (and like calvin says, do your own due diligence, and dont just see and dumb dumb buy)

Hi sifu rj87, trying to understand more on your information, hope you can teach teach. I'm trying to understand how to confirm the debt figures from 16 billion you arrived at in 2016 as detailed from the linked reports. From quarterly and annual reports total debt though was at 13.04 billion. What am I looking at wrong?

31 Dec 2018 31 Dec 2017 31 Dec 2016 31 Dec 2015 31 Dec 2014

Total Debt 10,386.08 11,523.19 13,046.49 8,029.55
6 ,192.95

I'm assuming that your thinking is the reduction of 16 billion to 11.5 billion (4.5b) including principal and interest coverage is coming from cashflow profits, sales of OMV and JV profit sharing sales.

In your opinion is this sustainable and long term profitable? Or is it possible in the next 4 years ( Mabel says confident to clear off all debt) can be done simply through profits and cash flow without selling any more assets and JV profit sharing?

Thanks you in advance sifu rj87

as for your kps,

you promoted at 1.55 25 april 2019. you received bonus of 46 sen. but share price today is 0.685. meaning you have lost 0.405 on this trade (26% loss). since you didn't give a sell call, I expect that you are still holding on to this unrealized 26% loss. Even more so if you reinvested your dividends into buying more kps stocks (we will never know how you think).

So what is your total return of all the stocks with all the returns? the keyword here is volume and total invested value.

calvintan you must include your stocks volume, how much you invest in. Every dividend has a minimum transactional fee for processing. for carimin you left after making measly 20 cents profit while others held for longer period.

based on your 40 stocks, if you put rm10,000 on each stock, you would have needed 400K cash for your returns. for a more realistic average, I would assume you invested 200K with RM5000 on each stock.

for example carimin, total dividend was 0.014 and 0.016 based on your initial purchase of 0.4. spending 5k on this you will get 12500 shares, at this holding cost your returns would be RM500 for the first cycle, with your returns slightly at the RM450 after taxes and processing fees. since you said that you quickly sold after getting a few cents profit (i believe you said you sold at 0.65), for 25 cents gain. how about the real annualized returns of your holdings AVERAGED OUT?

No one is here to learn about boasting, as luck may play a big issue. The purpose of looking at the portfolio history is to understand the reasoning behind each trade or investment and to see what happened after the stock was sold just as much as what happened when the stock was held. I think those who promote thinking without showing a proof of performance as boasting instead. Those I don't respect.

Like this post I have no interest in and I consider boasting.

"HSBC Holdings PLC for 20 years (I also hold several pieces of land for 30 years." Simply because there is nothing to learn from this statement, but much can be learned about why you bought the stock, was it a confident purchase ( +50% of you're net worth in one purchase), what other stocks did you buy along the way, or did you buy it and top up along the way and not sell a single share. Things like that interest me far more than just a simple shareholding analysis ( which is useless in learning anything).

But one thing I have always asked traders is to show the depth and volume of their trades, but sadly everytime I asked to see their portfolio history, almost all of them start spouting trade secrets and being defensive about their real returns on trading plans. Very few were willing to show their portfolio, and if those who did has only been trading for 5 years or less. Long term wise, great wealth has always come from following the great stock.

This concept is wrong. This common term of reference is taught wrongly. You can use this for bonds or fixed income vehicles or buying a business outright.

Your concept of paying pe50 as unsustainable is also patently wrong, as any short term differences in earnings ( example bumi armada or sapura) where past pe and forward pe is destroyed by shareholder dilution, a sudden shift in industry prospects, or a suddenly force majeure which changes short term or long term pe ratios.

If you believe this common reference of the world is flat I do not blame you, but as proof to the contrary abound (and earnings multiplication turn pe50 now into pe50 in the future but with huge earnings growth), I would sincerely advice you not to bring others to this "pay-back period" concept.

Buying stocks signify risk. That risk is what we look at PE as a market indicator.

It doesn't make sense to use PE as a predictive method.


>>>>>
The common term for reference is pay-back period. Hence naturally I equate PE 50 as pay-back period of 50 years if there is no yearly increase rate of return (growth rate). We then used the past 10 year market data available to project the best case and worst case growth rate to derive at the projected pay-back period.

Here is another example:

INSAS

2006 share price 0.38 cents 163 million revenue 21 million profit 618 million shares outstanding PE 12.6
2010 share price 0.53 cents 423 million revenue 60 million profit 660 million oustanding shares PE 5.88
2018 share price 1.00 cents 341 million revenue 90 million profit 663 million oustanding shares PE7.4

the question here is why has INSAS been on a low end of financial community analysis of PE value? The exact reason escapes me: but I will try my best to explore:

1) The businesses that INSAS is in is not a growth industry, therefore the prospects are low and not expected to warrant a high PE (as seen from revenue and earnings growth from 2006 to 2018)
2) INSAS management has not found the ability to turn profit into more future revenue and business units (as seen from growing NTA but management unable to grow business). sagging revenues and sagging profits will deter investors, unless point 3 is done.
3) if unable to grow business units, management should return unused capital back to investors in terms of share buyback/dividends. This is not very apparent.

Here is my point, if you know the future of INSAS, and you treat it as only a fixed deposit account, when matured in february 2020 you will take it out and get back your premium, would you pay a higher PE for the company? Probably not. You will in the end pay the exact amount of the business itself with no premium for the future.

PE cannot tell you about the future of the company, but it can tell you how the financial community thinks about the future of the company,

Thank you

Dear Lee Soon Sheng,

I find that you keep using this wrongful misconcept of the meaning of PE in your valuation of companies. I hope to explain to you once and for all so you can put it into your lexicon and stop asking preposterous questions.

"May I ask, in order for company shares to deserve a PE of more than 50X what should be the yearly growth rate of revenues and earnings?"

There is no correlation between PE and the prediction of future returns or growth of a company.

PE is merely what the financial community (to paraphrase peter lynch) is willing to pay for a companies earnings RIGHT NOW. IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT A COMPANY WITH HIGH GROWTH RATE DESERVES HIGH PE OR A COMPANY WITH LOW GROWTH RATE DESERVES A LOW PE.

As far as I can tell, the Price that the investing community is willing to pay for a stock right now is based on:

a) how transparent the business is ( how consistent the growth is, how much debt, what is the historical performance of the business, how clear is the earnings and growth estimates)
b) how confident the public is in the growth of the business (businesses that consistently beat earnings expectations will have higher pe compared to those that meet or fail those expectations), also historical growth rates true.
c)news and rumours (public or insider announcements)
d) market maker, movers and institutional buying

As I have tried to explain to you many times, PE does not predict future returns, only current interest.

Let me give you a simple example:

Amazon in:

2006 Earnings 0.45, share price of 39.46, PE of 87.69 (426 million shares)
2010 Earnings 2.28, share price of 135.77, PE of 59.55 (456 million shares)
2018 Earnings 7.94, share price of 1477.34, PE of 182.28 (500 million shares)

the revenue growth would be:
2006 10 billion 191 million profit
2010 34 billion 1 billion net profit
2018 233 billion 3.974 billion net profit

Do you see how silly it would be to apply just one metric in measuring the quality of a company and thus paying PE for it? If you had paid a pe of 87.69 in 2006, do you think that 10 years on you would be using a simple growth rate of revenue and earnings yield to judge a simple online store? of course not. As long as the business performs and grows, the share price of the business will always goes up as confidence grows. Using your simplified concept, you will never invest in gems like APPLE, QL, TOPGLOVE, AMAZON etc forever as you have screened youreself out of the keyword PE. businesess that keep on growing and growing will ALWAYS command a premium. Especially those with a huge moat.

QL in:

2006 Earnings 24 sen, share price of 4.86, PE of 20 (220 million shares)
2010 Earnings 27 sen, share price of 3.51, PE of 13 (390 million shares)
2018 Earnings 13 sen, share price of 6, PE of 46.15 (1622 million shares)

in the meanwhile, the revenue and earnings growth went from:

1 billion, 48 million in 2006
1.4 billion, 106 million in 2010
3.26 billion, 215 million in 2018

my question is SSLEE. how can you use PE to define the future of a company? or if a company deserves it or not? share price is guaranteed to go up if the business fundamentals perform well. If you pay pe50 for a wonderful company today, you will probably far more for the same company tomorrow, if it continues to grow and grow and grow.

THANK YOU.

this is why PH gomen want to review all the big projects and cut companies who get high margin frm this project.

Lim pointed out that the government and Prasarana Malaysia Bhd had renegotiated the 6% fees for the PDP, which amounted to RM948mil.

“The payments will now be based on a fixed fee contract, which is tied to fixed costs, and this means the 6% fee term does not exist,” he said.

Previously their fees is only for project delivery partner, meaning is consultation and management fees.

Now we are looking at fixed contract of 16.6 billion, so their profit margins are based on this fixed contract, meaning based on renegotiation ( reduced underground, reduced tracks and size of stations, reduced number of stations), anything gkent makes will be based on how efficient they are in handling these costs. I will be the first person to say it is being handled very well.

At a turnkey contractor profit of 10% ( overall), they are looking at additional profit of 1.6 billion for the same project which is even better. Take note on the reduction of size and expenses of lrt3, it will play a huge portion in the final net profit due to mrcb and gkent.
If we just look at gkent only on PDP end management they still earn 948 million, the cost cutting measure will see them earning even more.

I repeat here a word of wisdom that has guided my investment philosophy since I bought ql in 2009 and never sold a single share since.

From Philip fisher:

Conversely, as such a stock rises to, say, 50 or 60 or 70, the urge to sell and take a profit now that the stock is “high” becomes irresistible to many people. Giving in to this urge can be very costly. This is because the genuinely worthwhile profits in stock investing have come from holding the surprisingly large number of stocks that have gone up many times from their original cost. The only true test of whether a stock is “cheap” or “high” is not its current price in relation to some former price, no matter how accustomed we may have become to that former price, but whether the company’s fundamentals are significantly more or less favorable than the current financial-community appraisal of that stock.

From my understanding, pchem did not guide towards reduced profit next quarter ( I may be totally wrong on this, RainT monitors short term reports far more accurately than an old man like me), as much as they have guided towards a planned turnaround of a few of their plants in the quarter. But as I understand it they have also increased the number of inventory stockup to meet this production shortage. So I may be wrong on a profit reduction, then again I am also usually wrong on my stock purchase timing,( but rarely wrong on the stock itself).

In either case: to each his own. Everyone has their own way of making money. As long as we all make money from the forum, I am happy for you haha.

Hi RainT, I have not forgotten. I used my dividend to buy more shares as well as margin expansion in late August during the discount day. But as I do not know exactly how much the turn around will be or how low the results will go, I will just wait for the next quarter results to make my decision on whether to hold our buy more.

It is sad that sslee has turned into a trader instead of a long term investor, but I guess making 10%+ on a stock beats fixed deposit.

But the more important question is, where to deploy the profits into the next stock? I still find few stock as solid and undervalued currently as PCHEM with huge cash hoard, an incredible 10 year future, and a monopoly of the local market like no other.
