Congratulations and well done, Karex!!!

Athletes to d Rio Olympics has been given condoms to prevent contracting d Zika virus. In general, demand for condoms will spike in d days leading up to the major sporting event. Hv faith in Karex.

Another M&A by Karex on d table???

I hope so tht tis w b d 3rd wave. But, I am no sifu of any sort. Just a long term investor here.

@Kok Leong Chan, bcoz the charts are telling me so.

Price spike is imminent!!!

Looking fwd to a gap up tmrw.

Today is a good day to buy-in or accumulate more in anticipation of a price surge soon.

u all shud hv confidence in Karex and do expect the unexpected real soon...

Thts a smart investment strategy.

MYR strengthening is just temporary. Currency fluctuations shud not b a primary criteria for analysis. U only adjust yr analysis for it if d fluctuations r significant. Other than tht, u just ignore its small volatility.

Haha... similar news tht Top Glove is interested in condom biz has resurfaced again. Will Karex b its target acquisition? Shall wait to see if it holds water.

Aiyah... wat does LGE gotta do with OWG? Just bcoz he officiated d Imperial restaurant at The Top? Like tht, all PLCs based in or has projects in Penang w b affected by it? Cmon...

All d best and may d highest returns b with u.

@aa890804, hahaha, IF u r invested in Karex for d longer term, then u wud hv bought more to enjoy d sudden price spike yesterday. It always never pay trying to time d mkt and it's extremely stressful doin so. When u get frustrated of missing d boat, stress w consume u and it's not good for yr health. Being a long term investor especially in stocks like Karex, w allow u to maximize yr ROI stress-free while u enjoy d ride upwards.

@ThunderCool, why all those price projections when u r waiting to exit at 2.45?

U all wanna Karex's price to crash, c'mon let's do it in a BIG WAY!!! See u in d ring...

Only traders w try to time d mkt, long term investors tend to take positions based on d company's future intrinsic value and long term growth prospects. Whoever tries to time d mkt generally w get their hands burnt badly. So, beware u all traders and do not take yr eyes off Karex for too long. Hehehe...

there's nothing to b angry abt as I am not affected by d current volatility at all. it's just tht I'm trying to remind all those who r so afraid by crying 'drop, drop, drop' everyday to refrain getting into d mkt at all.

Yeah, everything will oso drop. Better get out of the stock mkt completely b4 yr pants oso drop. And, better not get involved in the stock mkt again.

The best scenario is both will move up. However, I believe for crude price to move up is rather challenging due to d Iran factor. So, USD moving up is d likely bet. A vote for Brexit will even heighten USD's appreciation.

Guys, oil revenue depends on crude price per bbl and USD exchange rate. The powerhouses can decide to move one of it only. It looks like d Fed has an upper hand to dictate d world economy at d moment.

Haha... USD is 4.17 now and will go even higher after an interest rate hike expected in d weeks to come.

USD is 4.15 now...

MYR has started to weaken now...

@noobnnew, tht's correct. Dun worry, Father w b coming to save all those on d Karex boat soon...

US Fed's Mullard says global mkts ready for next interest rate hike...no worry

The Karex management is a very smart group of ppl under d leadership of its CEO, Mr Goh MK.

They are insignificantly minute in numbers.

@Appleby, why say so?

@Tan Kah Fai, as in any situation hving staunch supporters w us to achieve a collective goal, I'm very sure he w b proud of us being Karex's shareholders. At d very least, it gives him d comfort to know tht the shareholders truly know wat they r getting themselves into and to know Karex's biz very intimately. It w definitely help him to address and communicate all biz challenges faced much more effectively to all shareholders who in turn, w give him d full latitude and trust to manage Karex for d benefit of all shareholders

Management has guided us previously tht Karex will grow at a CAGR of approx. 9% yearly for d next 3 years or so. I really dun understand why some ppl still choose to make life difficult for themselves and for others. They even hv d cheek now to say tht Karex won't be growing. Let me tell u tis firmly - Karex WILL grow and grow STRONGER than expected moving forward.

yes and agree, Karex management mentioned tender sales decreased in d QR, but did not mention WAT caused it to decrease and, WHY & HOW such decrease came abt. Unless u r telling me u work in Karex, then I MIGHT believe u.

Be prepared for stronger USD vs MYR in d weeks and months ahead...

lala26: guys guys..... uncle johny always extremely defensive when it comes to karex one. if ask question whether should sell or not, he shoot ppl dont ask stupid question. btw johny can express his opinion like a waterfall but others must shut up and sit quiet quiet. if u say something opposite him he will say u no ethics. haha. this is johny Thread.

@lala26, as u can read above, @littlelolita is oso calling long term investors stupid. Ppl w call u stupid when u ask stupid questions. It happens all the time everywhere. So, dun be a retarded cry baby trying to justify u r not being stupid. Accept d fact and move on gracefully. Tht way, u will learn and b smarter in future.

@littlelolita, u pls go and read properly yrself first lah... Since QR @ 31 Mar 2015 until 31 Mar 2016, revenue has been increasing EXCEPT for Q1/2015 and Q3/2015. For Q1/2015, d lower revenue reported was due to delay in acceptance of finished products by customers (recognition delay in d accounts). And as for Q3/2015, d precise reason for lower tender sales was not disclosed in d QR, but I believe management is in transition to switching their product mix twds OBM products which has higher margins. Otherwise, d current year YTD revenue will not hv exceeded d previous year's YTD revenue. How can u be too overly smart to read in betw d lines wat Karex management is doin currently? Yr analysis is very dangerous. FYI, do not be confused as drop in sales is NOT THE SAME as drop in demand. They are 2 different matters altogether.

All along when they said tht Karex's share price w crash after announcement of a bad QR, I realize now it's their heads tht are actually crashing now. Why??? It's bcoz they had sold out earlier and wanting to get back in now. How phatetic and cheap can those losers be hving to resort to such scaring tactics just to make a few more bucks for themselves. So sorry for them.

@Appleby, Hahaha... I'm just giving him a sinister remark only.

@littlelolita, I am so afraid now...

@littlelolita, thks for yr suggestion. I strongly believe Karex's fundamentals r still very much intact. Mark my words, MYR will weaken further during tis quarter. Soon, u will flock back into Karex finding it attractive again.

@littlelolita, long term investors always hv got nothing to worry abt price fluctuations. Only short term traders and mkt speculators hv everything to worry abt as a 30% drop w cause them to vomit white foam quite instantly. In such a situation, only long term investors hv every reason to smile while keep collecting quality stocks like Karex at lower prices. Pls continue helping us long term investors to spread the words around to sell Karex. Hehehe........

So, let's wait and see how bad it will get crashed on Monday.

For the past months, I hv been reading some ppl writing so much abt "the upcoming QR will be very bad". It turns out d matter has been terribly over-exaggerated. The picture they painted was so bad as if Karex's share price will crash after d QR is released.

@Obsidian, it's mainly due to lower Other Income and higher Other Expense. I believe the FX losses are included in here. As for higher distribution and admin exp., there is very normal due to higher sales.

I totally agree w @gift. Despite the unfavourable exchange rate and latex price during last qtr, Karex's YTD numbers are still looking very good. With d 3rd qtr results already in the pocket now, I see Karex hv no problem at all to exceed the FY2015's results. To those who wanna sell, pls do so swiftly early morning on Monday. I am very happy to collect more. Hehe...

Cumulatively speaking, the EPS @ current qtr is still higher at 5.44 vis-à-vis last yr's 4.64.

There may be a blip in d NPAT if u compare the q-on-q results. However if u look at the y-on-y results, it has exceeded previous year's results. Generally, Karex's results are not so very bad as claimed by some here.

@ufis, I'm not gonna comment anything here anymore. If there's anything, pls email me. Thks.

Next time, try Clorox instead.

@lala26, aaahh... yes, I remember u - the one with a foul-smelling mouth.
